Sick of people calling Iceland a "country." It's a fricking medium sized city. Baton Rouge has twice the population.

quote:

The original population of Iceland was of Nordic and Gaelic origin. This is evident from literary evidence dating from the settlement period as well as from later scientific studies such as blood type and genetic analyses. One such genetic study indicated that the majority of the male settlers were of Nordic origin while the majority of the women were of Gaelic origin, meaning many settlers of Iceland were Norsemen who brought Gaelic slaves with them.[183]


The Vikings used to raid the coast of Ireland and Scotland and stole women. Iceland needs to pay reparations to the UK.

Scotland. Ireland would have been a mistake, or there was a slave industry (wherein they were rounded up on forays from Scotland).

UK and Republic of Ireland, if we´re to believe your story.

They also rank very high in the consumption of anti-depressants.

Ireland isn’t bad.

Switzerland, Austria, or Germany would be good too.

Just too cold for too long.

But it’s a moot point, I don’t think I could move away from my extended family now.

The fact that all those countries are white countries is so racist.

Oh wait, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia just don’t sound awesome

Well they can have the North Sea. More pOwer to them.

I've spent time in Copenhagen and here what I've learned:
- there are like 3 months of the year where you can actually enjoy the sunshine and outdoors
- they don't like diversity. Holy shite talk about your Aryan Nation. They have a special place they stick the immigrants and none of the locals go near there
- they talk a big game about embracing minorities but when my wife's ex married a woman from Denmark and she had to spend time here in east Nashville she was afraid to leave the house and kept the windows drawn and doors locked. She ended up divorcing him after a year because she had a nervous breakdown because...black people.. and fled back to tivoli world

No thank you. My non-enlightened ignorant arse is just fine with my little slice of paradise here in the South.
