Not everyone lives around water , and pools are expensive . Our country is vast , and it would be needlessly expensive to teach everyone how to swim . <| sep |> Yeah I think it may have something to do with a lot of the disparity in the workplace too . They say men go for jobs when they ' re less qualified for it than women . I think it ' s the same thing being more used to rejection they will go out on a limb more often . <| sep |> Also socially different . I mean I am not EU citizen so I practically have no saying in these matters but as an expat , I am terrified with beggingtheft tourism in Finland . No problems all the cold months and suddenly in summer , huge increase in petty crimes and tons of beggars from certain EU countries . These needs to be fixed before expending .
