Germany had occupied Denmark in 1940 and although the Danish king was still in power he was heavily influenced by the Germany occupation force. After failed attempts by the new Greenland government to secure support from the United Kingdom, they turned to the USA. On 9 April 1941 the Danish ambassador Henrik Kauffmann, against the instructions of his government, signed an agreement with the US government, allowing the presence of American troops and making Greenland a de facto US protectorate.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

It's under the kingdom of Denmark, which is in Europe.
kthxbi.
Thank god I'm left-wing.
The United States supplied the island and sent patrol boats to survey the east coast of Greenland although this was limited by the ice and bad weather. Eske Brun, reluctant to ask America for large scale help, set about creating a "Greenland Army" known as the North-East Greenland Sledge Patrol, consisting of fifteen men. Their task was to patrol the coast line to discover a possible German landing.
The Allies used weather data gathered from Greenland to plan the Invasion of Normandy in 1944.
Greenland was good for something. Weather stations.
A buddy of mine just got back from spending a year there...he would disagree that it was/is good for something.TheAussieReaper wrote:

Lock your door and hide your key otherwise you'll want to go out and kill random, innocent British people when you've finished watching it! Great film though; the scene at the beginning where the guy gets killed for giving his name in Gaeilge is what made me go back and learn Gaeilge again!FatherTed wrote:

Please sticky this thread so Purefodder and some of the other hate America crowd have a place to rant instead of turning EVERY thread into an " its the USA's fault and the USA sucks " rant even if the thread has zero to do with the US.
I swear I could start a thread about silverware and it would turn into a " how the US has fuckedd up the world siverware supply with GWB policies ".
Please Enjoy this area of the forum guys.
Go and look at my coments, they are all based on evidence. I'm guessing this is to do with my recent comments on the history of human rights in Europe and the US, backed up by plenty of evidence against almost entirely baseless retorts, and my coments about the hypocracy of Americans advocating nuking Iran because their criminal justice system is backwards, when you can go an read plentyful human rights reports on the poor state of the US justice system.
But it's called the Patriot Act. You can't vote against the Patriot Act, can you? That would be unPatriotic!KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Screw the Euros. Its not our fault we won WWII for them.
I never realised how much the Irish, Scottish, and English were all just the same thing until I saw that map. I mean I know you all have bad teeth and the same funny accent but it never clicked with me because you guys spend all your energy trying make people think there is something different about you. Shit all it takes is one look at the map.THE_EYE wrote:

Wow, my opinion of the Brittish and Scottish just went down a few notches and my opinion of the Irish has over doubled!
You're just bitter that Britain bit off more than it could chew, what with fighting everyone else during our little revolution.Mek-Stizzle wrote:

America is so awesome that others are intimidated by and jealous of its immense greatness. It does what it wants simply because it can. I completely understand the hatred of the US, but do not share it.

Alpha dog tbh. Hard to image why a country that is so evil and wretched when it comes to human rights and living conditions completely dominates the rest of the world with the amount of people that migrate here every year. The truth is in the puddin baby.SpIk3y wrote:

The funniest thing about anti-american rhetoric is how seriously (some) americans take it.
If we all really hated you as much as you think we hate you, you wouldn't be the worlds only economic-superpower (not that that's gonna be the case for much longer).

Oh yea.. I'm good.London, 10 June 2008 - Bullish dollar comments from George Dubya Bush as well as oil related profit taking conspired to drag the precious complex lower yesterday with gold closing below $900/oz while silver closed back in the $17-17.30 congestion area.

Both ways tbh. We (Europeans/Americans/Canadians/Australians) sit here and hammer at each other daily. Take a look at the rest of the world and you will see how much we have in common. People also need to realize a stalemate in discussion.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

fuck you, north america (not including canada)
Gee, I wonder why we take it so seriously. Everywhere I ago people are bashing America. After a few thousand times it gets old. Maybe people should just stick to the topic instead of just saying stuff about America. I never say anything about any other countries (excluding Iraq) and I want the same. Why can't people just stick to topics and not go into the "It's Americas' fault" and whatnot.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
