[luka]

They are an insular peninsula

 

[yyaldrin]

oh, well sorry for asking then

 

[hmg]

has anyone ever been to greenland?

Nope. Entirely uninhabited. A great mystery beyond the foggy Grand Banks.

I don't know if you want to have a proper conversation about this or not, but those terms are probably not helpful.

What I was alluding to, admittedly pissed and should not have done, was Denmarks colonial legacy. And I think I got it wrong tbh, I got them mixed up with Belgium.

They are probably really sound dunno tbh

Denmark did at one point have a colonial empire, but it was only a few trading posts here and there, unless you count Greenland, which is huge but almost empty.

They also controlled England at one point, but this is going back a thousand years:

I never heard they did anything as horrific as what the Belgians got up to in Africa.

You have to consider the biking thing. "Danelaw"

They are very keen on bikes, nearly as much as the Dutch, I think.

It's like they were vikings and then said nah to trad euro colonialism which is admirable really

Viking not biking, but biking too you are right!

Well Sweden controlled Finland for a long time, but yeah, in terms of territories outside Europe they only had a few small bits scattered around the world, pretty insignificant really.

Pathetic, in fact.

And now getting all antsy when someone miles nearer wants Greenland mineral wealth. Well suspicious

I wonder if anyone's bothered to ask people in Greenland what they think.

 

[luka]

I think if america invest in a good pr campaig they can convince the greenlanders pretty easily.

 

[luka]

Who wouldnt want to be American if offered the opportunity? Apart from anything else it would mean they could leave their frigid rock and move to LA

 

[sufi]

has anyone ever been to greenland?

I seen it out of a plane window it was big

 

[Mr. Tea]

Bigger than Africa, in fact.

 

[version]

Denmark produced one of the greatest footballers of all time.

 

[yyaldrin]

Places I want to go:

Boston.
Melbourne (this is, possibly, in the pipeline...).
Portland.
Greenland.
Tel Aviv.

Um...

The tinfoil theory is that Greenland will be prime temperate real estate after the imminent pole shift and geophysical excursion. Long game that 99-100% of us won't live to see

Look at the end of The Terror,, Trump and his inner circle all trying to hack their own tongues off to gain an alliance with the mammoth snow bear Tuunbaq

Shit happens in cold northern fringes
