i do hope you will be able to understand this, its not that often one meets someone intellIgent enough in the written english language to understand what im saying without that someone having the urge to point out all spelling errors a non-english speaking individual manages to post to this or that thread.
you should really try better, making jabs at spelling errors of non-english persons makes you have to really use your spelling checker or you might fall onto your own not so intellIgent jab.
but hey, i cant expect much from you DAD. you dont even have a country of your own, you had to steal it from the natives, and you are taking pride in that! icelanders had the dignity to see that this country was already taken and left, boy they should have stayed, then you all would be speaking icelandic. man that would be fun! i would love to see the looks on your faces if that parasite (< correct spelling) universe suddently wanted to burst into ours.
þá gæti ég spurt ykkur hvað þið fenguð í morgunmat.
well, enough of wishful thinking and back to the lost DAD, the american lovesick kellibelli, and every other member of the stupid american public.
*everything that could be considered as “bad”
is aimed at the american “we are bigger” population. everybody else please consider this a compliment.
Greetings. I’ve never responded to anything you’ve ever said, but now I feel I must.
Thank you for that catharsis. Obviously you’re in an emotionally troubled state. It’s not uncommon for people to strike out at others when feelings of inadequacy overwhelm one’s being. For quite a while I had an my suspicions, but now I know this is what’s wrong. Your post about how sorry we would all be if Iceland had the U.S. instead of the rest of Europe told it all. Take a break from the BBQ pit. Try some constructive posts. Look inside youself to see what’s bothering you. Speaking for myself I don’t care how you spell, or which words you use. It the underlying meaning that matters.
Really Bjorn, WE (meaning modern day americans) took the land from the natives? Boy i’d sure like to know who told you that. Gee, I thought the land was taken long before I was born! Thanks for enlightening me. God I must be another stupid American as you like to say, no?
Oh yeah “Icelander” refers to you and your countrymen. Vikings were not Icelanders. Icelanders are descended from Vikings. Vikings came from Europe, get it right mi amigo tonto :). Anyway if we dont hear from you for more than two weeks i guess we can assume the mid Atlantic oceanic ridge opened up and smothered you in lava :). Since you want a fight señor Bjorn: La tierra del fuego y hielo no está una tierra de mentes interesantes, como evidenciado por Bjorn.
I suspect you may be an rational individual who simply spends too much time at the hardware store with your head in one of those paint-can shaking machines. I am not sure to whom you are referring as “Dad”, but if I were he, I might consider a vasectomy.
Personally, I was born in 1964. That makes me about 200 years to young to have taken this nation from the natives. Of course my great-great-great-grandfather could have been involved. I will tell you what: The next time I see him, I will let him know you are mad.
Wait a minute bj0rn–are you saying your ancestors found what would become America, saw it was occuppied, then turned around and left for Iceland? What kind of crazy revisionist history do they teach in Iceland?
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but are your ancestors Vikings? As in the folks who spent most of the latter half of the 1st millenium sacking and pillaging England? Which was occuppied, BTW.
Regardless, the point is that it really doesn’t matter what our great-great-many-great-grandfathers did. That’s ancient history. I refuse to take punishment for the crimes of my distant ancestors.
Besides, my people didn’t come to America until 1901 (I’m Polish). They got tired of having the crap kicked out of them by the Prussians.
BjOrn, the problem with anyone (Yank, Canadian, Icelander, Brit, or whoever) deciding to claim the moral high ground is that none of us have blemish-free pasts.
You continue to follow PapaBear around with your attacks long after he has pointed out (on multiple occasions) that his “Intelligent Life” post was sarcasm and never intended as a genuine attack on Icelanders. Give it a rest; you’re looking silly.
As to the moral high ground: Not from you folks!
On the first expedition to what was later to become Canada, your sagas reveal that the explorers came upon a group of natives, sleeping, and promptly murdered them. Good ethical treatment, that.
As to
this is simply false.
At least two attempts at settlement were made. The second one (most likely the one found at L’anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland) lasted several years until they were driven out by the constant harassment of the native peoples. Your ancestors did the same thing that every other European invader of North America did–your folks were simply not numerous enough to make it last.
I realize that you are having fun poking snide remarks at Yanks and watching them react. It would help your “cause” however, if you did not make up stories about the innate dignity of your murderous ancestors.
{We now return you to your regularly scheduled mudslinging.}
You overlook the fact that it was Europeans who came to this continent and wiped out the natives with diseases and guns. One of the ways the US goverment allieviated the population problem in the Eastern cities, and settle the West, was to give free land to immigrants, European immigrants, who had a vested interest in seeing the natives wiped out. The US Army during the Indian Wars was comprised of at least one third immigrants straight off the boat. They sure didn’t mind participating in genocide along with their cousins who had been here a generation or two.
The Europeans are the most blood thirsty, vicious, vengeful, and successful group of killers to inhabit this planet. Just in this century alone, they have been responsible for more than 80 million deaths due to mindless adherence to demagogues and their bullshit. And you say Americans are stupid? We had to go to Europe twice to save your silly asses from each other. You people are so high on yourselves.
It reminds me of a conversation I had in Beligum with 3 Belgian women. They were trying to convince me that they were more “cultured” than Americans because they were tri-lingual. I explained to them they were tri-lingual because the Germans invaded them every 20 or so years and they did all their busines with the French. What a crock of shit.
We may not be the best or the smartest people in the world, but we do alright for ourselves and better than most. And we REALLY don’t care about you just as you REALLY don’t care about us. You spineless people can’t even fight your own wars anymore. We shouldn’t be in Kosovo protecting your lily white asses. The only reason we are there is to prevent you silly trollopes from getting into a bigger mess that we will eventually have to finish. Stupid wankers.
We are still, by and large, a nation composed of European heritage. But we have become Americans. I think Europeans dislike us because we left your countries and were, and still are, very successful. It’s something along the lines of penis envy. And given he realtionship between climate and extremity size, you must be really jealous!
Doobeous, I’m sorry to burst in like that, but there is one thing I have to clarify.

Err…Doob, actually, well, allthough it’s true that vikings were Europeans, and this is kind of awkward, you see there were’nt any German vikings or Spanish ones. They were Nordic. Namely Danish, Sweedish, Norwegian and Icelandic.
I proudly admit to all the plundering and pillaging of my forefathers. Nevertheless if it weren’t for them, or more specifically Icelanders, we wouldn’t know shit from that era.
bobnat. quote: Just in this century alone, they (Europeans) have been responsible for more than 80 million deaths due to mindless adherence to demagogues and their bullshit.
bob. Americans dropped the atom bomb on people. Not just once, but twice. And lets not forget The 1944 Dresden Carpet Bombing shall we. Now if thats not a crime against Humanity what is? And dont tell me it was to end the war. The Japs were ready to sign a ceasefire, but oh no, you wanted a total political and military surrender. So to show your strength to them AND THE SOVIETS you dropped atomic bombs on People. I’m not saying the Soviets wouldn’t have done the same if they had had one, they probably would have. American hands are NOT clean. NOR is anyone elses for that matter.
What I’m saying is: Lets stop this nonsense. These accusations are pointless. We’re not going to WIN anybody to our side. So please peoble lets rest this case and try to learn from the mistakes of our fathers and strive to make history not repeat itself.
thank you for such a clear and undeniable answer. you cant take credit for anything your g.g.g.g.g grandmoms and granddads did, not even what your mom and dad did. its just you and your actions. history is there to remind us not to do stupid things our moms and dads did. so in your case, heed sly’s advice, go read a bible and expand your national boundries over cuba. sorry, i forgot kosovo, ruanda, vietnam, iceland and countless of other countries who either dont want you, or are just tolerating your presence to take every possible dollar away from your stupid moth eaten american flagholding hand. < stupid people take this personally please.

yes, thats one of yours. what more did you say?? ah…yes: “Europeans who came to this continent and wiped out the natives with diseases and guns.” (then they became americans.) what did you and i say, doesnt matter what your ancestors did. ok, ill tell you one thing, when someone is physically hurt by some weapon or other (not killed) its news in iceland. we consider needless violence stupid, thats why we dont fight wars.
sweet: take a look at the great debates.
bj0rn translated to english is bear…now you know what DAD means.
yes sly, that would be a good idea. im happy for you, didnt know you had it in you.
Ah, I see this debate has descended to the level of “I know you are, but what am I?”
bj0rn, you’re obviously posting these comments to irritate people, not to start an intelligent discussion. I’m not interested in playing your little game any more.
Uhh hello pendejo, you are trying to put words into my mouth. Stop before i pop you in yours :). You see, even a “stupid” american like me knows that the vikings were from swedish, danish, and norwegian stock. What i was alluding to was that the vikings are not endemic to iceland. Get that through your icy skull. BTW: England itself was settled by the vikings, and they contributed a few words to the lexicon. Gosh! A stupid american like me knew that! You know what bjorn, you are the most aggrivating, bastid on this board. I seriously hope you aren’t this way in real life.
Whoops. That last post was directed at Silly Hoe. Anyway i still think bjorn is an aggrivating bastid. Also it’s real easy for you (Silly hoe and Pendejo (AKA Bjorn) to sit there and say “Oh we Icelanders are all for peace. Look at us, we’re soo peaceful and loving, unlike those Americans. We love peace thats why we dont fight in wars”. You don’t fight in wars because you know your silly asses would get wiped out by any other countries military. Yes you all are proud of your murderous, barbaric, and vicious ancestors, yet you sit there and say we Americans are bad for bombing another country, and being proud to be American, yet you proudly proclaim your heritage! That’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Let’s not blame people for the faults of their ancestors. Or maybe if i were like you i’d say you were all murderous barbarians who rape and pillage anything they touch. I think the term scrub fits both of you. No one is faultless.
BTW: Don’t think i’m mad or anything, this is just to show you what your writing looks like to the rest of us. Sarcasm. But still bjorn, you’re still like a sour little kid who can’t get along with everyone else.
Now Hoe I’m not interested in any arguments here. In fact, I believe both Iceland and the United States have intelligent life.
What I’m interested in is your interpretation of the term “Vinland”. What is surprising is that it is an old Iclandic - Icelandic is old - term for “pasture land” and has nothing to do with vines or wine.
guy…well that was a silly comment, coming from you specially. irritating people is, i hope, one purpose of the bbq pit. and i am simply expand your narrow way of thinking.
that one about the vikings. yes, vikings were scandinavian. but what did the spanish, english, french etc… do to nations in africa and southern america? the same thing americans are doing now to many countries of the world (with what you can call “modern warfare”).
oh…and yes, both iceland and america have intelligent life (fortunately). but in america it comes in the form of a steroid filled, bigger nosed than dick, singular brainselled teenager jerking off over macdonalds waitresses drinking coke out of a tin can. doing exacly the only smart thing his single brainsell can come up with in his entire life…sing the american national anthem.
i care not calling people names, for that would bring me down to the level i name them.
well…thinking about it! :o)
you are all the smartest people i have ever had the pleasure of communicating with.
