Fintelligens
Fintelligens is a hip hop group from Helsinki, Finland. The band is formed of two MCs: Elastinen and Iso H. The band has released three albums and one compilation, all selling more than 150,000 copies. Career In the early 1990s the Finnish hip hop scene was dominated by more humorous acts, such as Raptori. For many years afterwards, Finnish hip hop was strongly seen as some kind of joke. When Fintelligens released their debut album ''Renesanssi'' in 2000, it was the first more serious mainstream record to emerge. ''Renesanssi'' was a success and went gold with hit singles ''Voittamaton'', ''Kellareiden Kasvatit'' and a collaboration with Swedish MC's Petter and Peewee called ''Stockholm-Helsinki''. The album started a boom in Finnish hip hop as record companies endeavored to sign their own rap artists. In 2001 Fintelligens released the albums ''Tän Tahtiin'' and ''Kokemusten Summa'' in 2002, both creating hit singles and certified gold. Fintelligens also made the theme song ...

Conscientious Objector
A conscientious objector (often shortened to conchie) is an "individual who has claimed the right to refuse to perform military service" on the grounds of freedom of thought, conscience, or religion. The term has also been extended to objecting to working for the military–industrial complex due to a crisis of conscience. In some countries, conscientious objectors are assigned to an alternative civilian service as a substitute for conscription or military service. A number of organizations around the world celebrate the principle on May 15 as International Conscientious Objection Day. On March 8, 1995, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights resolution 1995/83 stated that "persons performing military service should not be excluded from the right to have conscientious objections to military service". This was re-affirmed on April 22, 1998, when resolution 1998/77 recognized that "persons lreadyperforming military service may ''develop'' conscientious objections". H ...
