Kinda curiuous about his. Can any of you Cannucks elaborate? I have heard the Denmark side of the coin. Would like to hear yours.

[Zanchief]

My opinion? It's a useless piece of rock that neither side wants to back down from even though no one wants it or uses it.

I'm sure we will pay oh so much attention to there angry letter. Maybe they can post it on MoviePoopShute.com.

[kaharthemad]

well I talked to a friend of mine in Denmark. a few of my buds have recieved military orders to update addresses due to a possible draft. I think they are taking this more seriously than you guys are.
Frankly I think it is a worthless piece of rock myself and so does he. however higher ups dont have the brains to think this thru clearly. if this fucking rock had a diamond mine or 85 billion barrles of crude on it I can see you guys squabbling over it.

I'd be inclined to just give it away. If they want to be petty over a stupid symbol of Nationalism, let them. But as logical as that might be, you wouldn't want to seem weak towards the Danish~

Well hell, if you cave to the Danes, you might as well remake your flag as a white circle on a white background and call yourselves France.

It's a sad commentary on a country's military when DENMARK feels that they can bow up at you.

[Harrison]

Well hell, if you cave to the Danes, you might as well remake your flag as a white circle on a white background and call yourselves France.

I think I just dribbled a bit of pee laughing at that.

It would take an American to see that as caving, when in fact it's taking the high ground. No doubt if this was a Danish/American issue, you would rather see them in ruin than lose a meaningless piece of arbitrary property.

GO JOE!

He was making fun of Denmark, not Canada, fuckmonkey.

[Harrison]

Wow...just wow.

Read that again.

You BOTH are on the shit end of the stick there.

Well if I was making policy decisions for my country, sure. But since I leave that to smarter people, it really doesn't apply.

Or, possibly it takes an American to grasp the opportunity for a completely gratuitous cheap shot at France.

They could invade the upper 1/3 of Canada and no one would notice. Denmark? That illicites about as much fear as Canada. It's like a gay fight. But a gay fight would be fun to watch. I'll wager Canada calls Denmark a bitch and spits some of it's Diet Coke and Bacardi Lite in its face. Then the fur will fly.

[Captain Insano]

I'm all about Imperialism. I would crush Denmark if they tried to take an American rock. Then I would steal whatever useful natural resources they had until my war efforts are paid back 100 fold.

[Captain Insano]

I would love to see Canada and Denmark at war... That shit would be more entertaining than watching two homosexuals man-slap the shit out of each other while pulling each other's stylish hair.

[Spliffs]

This thread rules.

[Phlegm]

They should let the inhabitants of the island decide.

[Ciladan]

From what I read, the island is an absolute piece of crap for now. But with global warming they say the island may become more valuable as area surrounding becomes more navigatable. I forget exactly why it would it would be valuable then, but the newspaper told me so.

Best post ever

[Captain Insano]

Why thank you kind sir.

[Tikker]

no one really gives a shit about the island itself



the fight is over the fishing rights



denmark gains land there, they get 200 miles of waters to fish in


Canada has been fighting for years to keep other countries out of the depleted cod stocks outside of newfoundland

[Rust]

Hans Island being some thousands of miles away from the Grand Banks.... being some 33 degrees north and 14 degrees west from St. John. Not sure what that is in miles, but it ain't cod fishin' grounds, b'y.
