Here is a link to the history of Iceland during World War II and the Cold War.

Pretty interesting history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_during_World_War_II

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_in_the_Cold_War

More women and grog!


Although one has to wonder about why the CIA was so interested in Iceland to establish a small network of listening posts that still remain operation in Iceland today.

Makes ya wonder if EVE Online is a CIA plot doesn't it?

I bet the cold war was the easiest for them. Same with the sun up all night war as well.

SHHHHHH!


Look, Americans have a disease. I don't know the name of it. It's a disease that makes them vote for every socialistic nanny-state idea that ever comes out of some politicians pie hole and then, when the city, town or state they live in becomes unliveable from all the taxes, crimes, etc, they move somewhere else.
Then once they get to where they moved, they DO THE SAME THING.

Places like Texas, Florida, and Washington State are under siege from Californians, Chicagoans, and New Yorkers.

As America collapases, if Americans think Greenland is Iceland, that might be what saves Iceland. OK? Remember Americans can't even find their own states on the map, let alone the places they clamor for bombs to be dropped on every time the media shows footage of the World Trade Center going down. At best the world ends up with a bunch of Americans wandering around Greenland wondering where to pick up their government checks.

Hint: You ranting about "socialistic nanncy-state ideas" just makes it more obvious that you're American yourself. Yes we get it, you're American, you vote for that one party and rant against the other. Like a football match. Two parties don't exceed the Americans' political comprehension skills.

And if you had any clue about the outside world you'd know that you live in a fascist police state where the poor are worse off than in some African countries.

Other than writing something about Americans, you weren't even responding to what you quoted, btw. I said Americans were stupid and knew nothing. But I'm sure you'll find a way to tie that to the evil commie schools or so. Lol

Have a nice day though.

LOL.

Someone who just couched everything into the two party false paradigm that I am not a part of while accusing me of being a part of that.

I do know that we are in a fascist police state.

Tell you what, skippy, while you got your big boy panties in a wad, use that energy to look into my past postings and then come back to this thread and see how misinformed you are about me.

Let's see...
- abuses a totally unrelated subject to rant about "socialist nanny-states".... check
- thinks any place with a health insurance is "socialist"..... check
- draws connection where there aren't any (like between social welfare and crime).... check
- thinks anyone outside of the US cares about "New Yorkers living in Texas" or "Californians living in Florida" like you aren't just all Americans... check (although most non-Americans know the geography of your country better than the Americans do)
- claims that Americans vote for "socialistic nanny-state ideas" like no other nation on earth, contrary to all available information.... check
- something about weapons...check
- some more talk about one of the two horror visions about a future America that your population can pick from and fails to see the bigger problems with the American culture while getting lost in trivial meaningless details ("wandering around Greenland wondering where to pick up their government checks")....check
- despite being like any American, claims to be completely different (like all Americans do)...check

Nope. I don't think I'm going to follow your orders and scan your old postings just because your bloated sense of self-worth tells you that I can't possibly think of you as anything but the next American savior. Instead I'll just, you know, look at the available facts.

Yours faithfully
