You mean Greenlanders don't want to invite a fucker that's trying to colonize them in for a spot of tea? Color me surprised.

Maybe they could try bribing homeless people with food again?

    Maybe they should invite them in and give them the most pants-shitting sugar-free thing they have. I would not even want to be a fly on the wall on that ride home.

    Lutefisk? That's Norwegian.

    Honestly tho Hakarl and Lutefisk are locked in an eternal battle for the revolting seafood jerky award

    I think you're thinking of Surströmming, which is Swedish and absolutely vile. (Properly prepared) Lutefisk is quite mild though definitely weird, even if you're used to stuff like pickled herring. Ordinary pickled herring is fermented in brine (and own enzymes), intensity depends on age at the tail end of things you get fish sauce, Surströmming is fermented in lactic acid, Lutefisk is not fermented at all it's stockfish (dried without salting) rehydrated in lye, then properly rinsed and cooked. It's mostly the texture that's weird.

    If you find yourself in Scandinavia one thing to definitely try is elk salami.

    I actually AM surprised that they don’t have one village idiot who loves Trump. It always seems like there’s one asshole who wants to wave the Trump flag as a fuck-you to their world.

    American representatives have been going around knocking on one door after another in recent days to ask if they would like to have a visit from the vice president's wife. Everywhere the answer was the same: "No, otherwise thank you," says Steinmetz.

    ahahaha! Greenlanders were far more polite than I would have been.

    As an American, if they showed up at my front door the most polite thing I'd say to them would be the "fuck off and die" they'd hear right before I slammed the door.

    Anyone uninvited gets the door slammed in their face, but I am rarely inspired to make a verbal statement as well.

    There used to be an exception to the door slam for people selling girl scout cookies, but they don't go door to door anymore.

    My door mat says "GO AWAY!", so I feel getting a door slammed in your face if you ring the doorbell is justified.

    Protip: Learn to growl. When Jehova's witnesses or suchlike knock, be very polite, tell them they're welcome, how you're happy they came to you to find the light Lucifer brings.

    I went to a Catholic University.

    I was never Catholic, and I was agnostic by the time I received my degree. However, there was a religion requirement, and one of the religion classes I took was taught by a Catholic priest.

    He mentioned he loved when JWs knocked on his door. He'd invite them in, sit them down, and just debate them until they couldn't stand it anymore and practically begged to leave.

    It sounded like he treated it like an opportunity to convert them to catholicism, not because he expected them to convert as much as he just thought it was funny.

    I'm an atheist and this is one of my favourite hobbies! I could usually find a few on Sundays close to vulnerable people hotspots - churches, hospitals - and all it took was a glance at their magazine stand for them to strike up a conversation.

    So far, I've found they're ill equipped at proving the existence of a god, let alone their specific brand. Some were actually impressed with a detailed theory of evolution, and may or may not have started to reassess their view of the world.

    I really love some good faith arguing in the morning...

    "no, otherwise thank you" (nej, ellers tak) can be said in a variety of ways.

    The entire purpose of adding more words to a "no" is to have more words for expression.

    Even in the most polite way it basically means "definitely no".

    I'd bet at least some were a lot more graphic than what was reported. I'd really love to like, run into a Greenlander in this thread whose door was knocked on and hear what they actually said. There had to be at least a few "go fuck yourself with a rusty crowbar" type responses

    I'm proud of my inuit brothers and sisters. The Americans may finally fucking get the hint. Apparently it wasn't enough to see that one inuk rip up American dollars when those cringe American youtubers came to give out maga hats an free money earlier this year.

    Trump and his subhumans thought that the greenland-denmark conflict would benefit them, but honestly, it's got nothing to do with them. We have tried to sort out our differences while America has been an annoying mosquito trying to make our relationship troubles about them. Dumbasses. Greenland is their own people. They are their own nation and someday it will be official, but we aren't there yet and while they have a lot of issues with Denmark, there's no doubt they prefer us over America until they can stand on their own feet. It was never a question.

    Particularly as the US has a no backsies law, which makes it illegal for any US state or territory to gain independence in the future.

    External self-determination cares little about national laws. That's kinda the whole point. The real question is what type of conditions need to be met before a right to external self-determination arises and is recognized by other countries. In general, most countries don't recognize a right to unilateral seccession under any condition. At the same time, it is also agreed that if a state were to make the practice of internal self-determination virtually impossible or meaningless, then a right to external self-determination should arise. In which case any "no backsies" rule under US national law (even the constitution) may be seen as a breach of fundamental rights.

    With independence, it usually comes down to who has the bigger stick (in both material and ideational terms). The are definitely scenarios in which US states can make a valid legal case for independence but the conditions for that still haven't been met as most international lawyers will agree that Americans in all states are afforded the right to internally self-determine. For now. Things are changing quickly.

    Trump had four years to plan his great return. Four years to mull and ponder. This is his best stuff. Everything else is going to be ad libbed.

    his childish half assed plan to annex greenland is probably codenamed "Operation Cement Lawn" which probably gave him the genius idea to literally cement over the whitehouse lawn.

    I think I put more effort into this stupid joke than Trump puts into literally anything.

    Should have said you'd be delighted for them to visit, and then just not let them inside. Deny any knowledge of talking to them before. Waste their time and money and call them names.

    No, I live in the US and in a red state.

    Seriously, the news is trying to spin it as "Oh they changed their plans" but seriously they've been hyping the fuck out of the visit and suddenly it's "JD is joining but they're only going to a military base"

    Even the dumbass republicans are going wtf.

    They bully, harass and disparage you then act offended when you won’t play along with their political games.

    Good.

    Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.

    This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.

    Now... well... there is no escape apparently.
