[danishpride1]

If Greenland were to become 100% independant they would have to pay their debt immediatly which they can't afford

[dave19941000]

Why be independent when you can be a province of Canada? It's not like it couldn't work out.

[meh23p]

@dave19941000 Why... why would they want that? Ottawa is almost as far away as Copenhagen. What on earth is your reasoning behind this? o.O

[dave19941000]

@meh23p Most of the Greenlandic population are Inuit (88%) and Canada has almost all of the remaining Inuit peoples (the exception being the few in Alaska and Siberia).

[meh23p]

@dave19941000 Yeah, but I don't see any reason they would need to be in the same country for that. The cultural bonds can easily still be nurtured separate from each other.

And besides, it's going to take several decades before Greenland is ready for independence. They only just started having self-governance. When the Faeroes still have a long way to go, I think Greenland, with its massive infrastructural challenges, will have to wait even longer.

I Love You Greeland ......Greetings From Mexico

[harrignos]

Does anyone know what the Greenlandic surname Simigaq(Simigak?) means?

[Acampandoconfrikis]

Oh, and cool country too, is very beautiful Greenland :)

[Acampandoconfrikis]

Denmark is rich, if Greenlad declares the independence it won't be so rich like Denmark.

[MagicCanGoBoom]

Long Live Greenland, one of the world's greatest wonders!

Also, Hi from America!

[steinijg]

Lived in Greenland for 2 months in 2009. Got the feeling that they don't want total independence right now. But if they do I wish them luck if they do want it! Greenlanders are probably the nicest people I've ever met, but quite reserved. I think they can do it if they really desire it and work hard to build their country!

[steffen60]

Greenland is still technically danish

Lets not forget you have representatives in Folketinget

[kraemer878]

Gud bevare Dronningen! af Grønland!!

[Arc9er]

"Because greenland doesn't have any trees or nice sunsets to put a real flag in front of!"

[EvanC0912]

@Arc9er haha.. and so they put monaco's (or indonesian) flag over polish flag.

[TheMiimaster]

GREENLAND =/= DENMARK

[MsPani1]

:) It is still danish kingdom, hopefully I'm not the only one in here take pride in that.. if it weren't for denmark, american probably would have greenland..

Don't forget denmark still gives grants.

I understand that we are not either danish, americans, or another, but the fact still reminds we are still part of Denmark.. as long as some money come from there, it'll be still part of Denmark.

[Batman1268]

@MsPani1

Greenland was a Norwigan a colony, so it should be own by Norway, if not danmark had it.

[Quintinohthree]

@Batman1268

Norway was a Danish colony, it should be Danish.

Norway was part of Sweden, it should be Swedish.

Norway's King is from the UK, it should be British.

Norway was occupied by Germany and Finland, it should be partly Finnish, partly German.

What more can I bring to the table?

[Ascensiam]

@Quintinohthree The Kalmar Union was ruled by Denmark, Scandinavia should be Danish ;)

[Quintinohthree]

@Ascensiam

I was joking but just to remain on topic:

France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, San Marino and Vatican City all evolved from the Frankish Kingdom of Austrasia which corresponds to the Netherlands of nowadays and a large part of Germany. They should all belong to the Netherlands again.

See what you get? Would be interesting if made true but that's it.

[Ascensiam]

@Quintinohthree All these countries geographical area were originally inhabited by the neanderthals, it should belong to them.

[Quintinohthree]

@Ascensiam

They're all dead so that's pretty useless.

[Ascensiam]

@Quintinohthree yeah, just sayin'

[Sky1green]

@Quintinohthree

cool story bro.

[Batman1268]

@Quintinohthree

norway was not a colony of danmark. it was a union. the sam ting with the swidish rule. occupietion do not count. can you tel me when finnland was occupied norway? what i am saying is that when denmark was forced to "give away" norway to sweden. iceland, greenland and faroe islands should have given away with norway.

[Quintinohthree]

@Batman1268

It was pretty subordinate to Denmark. It certainly wasn't an equal union.

Finland Occupied parts of Norway in WWII.

And colonies and other territories change hands easily, especially when the country owning them is pretty much a colony, get over it.

[Batman1268]

@Quintinohthree

norway was more intergreated then a colony, you could almost say it was denmark, but it was still a union.

befor the kalmar union was norway the stronger part in a union between noreway and denmark ;)

[Quintinohthree]

@Batman1268

Let's agree to disagree. There's no argument anyway.

[tykvun]

@Quintinohthree Same story here:)

Bohemia (now Czech Rep) was a part of Great Moravia, it should be called Moravian Republic nowadays...

It was a big power in Europe, it should be at least 5 times bigger than it is

Its king was a Luxembourgian, we should be part of Luxembourg then

Its king was a Jagellonian (Lithuanian), we should be Lithuanian

It was ruled by Austria for 400 years, we should be Austrian

It was occupied by Germany, it was occupied by Russia... and yet we're still here:)

[Quintinohthree]

@tykvun

Moravia is a part of the Czech Republic, just like Bohemia, and they're all Czechs. But you know that.

By the way, your Luxembourgian King was my Duke. It stayed that way untill some protestants, erm, protested.

[tykvun]

@Quintinohthree

You're right, but in our language Bohemia (Čechy) is exactly the same as Czechia, so some Moravians may be (and are) upset that in the name Czech Republic only the Bohemian part is involved :-)

We had actually 3 Luxembourgian kings, the first one was ok, the second one was an alcoholic and the third one was a bitch:) So somebody had to protest:)

[Quintinohthree]

@tykvun

I know about all three kings, didn't know what they were like though. Duke John I was much more interesting anyway. Two beer brands are named for him so that's a good indicator.

And don't take too much care for toponyms, Flanders (of which part is in the Netherlands and part in France) is also actually just the western part of the region of Flanders, but the Brabantians don't really mind. The Limburgians may but that's because they don't like people speaking Dutch in general.

[tykvun]

@Quintinohthree

That's right, I don't take much care for toponyms:) The bad thing about all this is that people take too much care for the names and the language they speak and think that their nations are the most genuine, the bravest and the best of all...which causes problems...

[Quintinohthree]

@tykvun

Always think yours is the best, always know yours can be better. That's what I think.

[tykvun]

@Quintinohthree I agree with the second part.

[Audinos]

Greenland is a place I have always wanted to visit.

[daavi0880]

Yup. Greenland is a beautiful country, but cities are full of carbage.

[hxasmirl]

if greenland will be independent some day it will become one of the per capita richest nations on earth. think of all the hidden natural resources.

[joelflorew]

Hey, greenland could be independent if it wish, the age of colonies is dead

[PatriotDenmark]

Greenland will not be independent they cant handle it. They dont have any resources to live by expect mines and fishery. The greenlanders themself dont want it either. I find it pretty cool they are the only REAL native Americans actually still alive. Those Inuit fellows. Respect to that.

[malelion]

We area not americans, we are not danish, my country is not danish territory, its OUR territory! We want to be independent, we can handle it, talk about something you know about please. No hard feelings ;)

[PatriotDenmark]

Well you cant so thats something totally diffrent. And yes you are Denmarks soil, you pay tax to us vote for goverment. And yes you are native american tribes also called red skins fighthing against a guy called custer for exampel. Indians.

[clapyourhandsify]

hey malelion. The only thing Greenlandics can handle is to get some beers first in month when they get their money aid from Denmark.

[malelion]

@clapyourhandsify Rascist. I hate you.

[o0adio0o]

speak for your self ... greenland will be back to the stone age if we went independent

[cmpFRANCE93]

@o0adio0o are u greenlander?

[o0adio0o]

@cmpFRANCE93 yes i am and im proud XD

[SiKUMiK]

@o0adio0o hahahah agree.

[steinijg]

I agree with my Greenlandic neighbor. They can handle being independent. Greenlanders are not a part of the Danish nation even though they are part of the Danish state so I think they should become independent in time, when they are ready and willing and they should do it in friendship with Denmark, like Iceland did decades ago!

[malelion]

@ steinjig. Iceland and denmark... In friendship..?... Mmm... Hardly ;) Icelandic people has a some against in danes... But not us, we are cool.

[SnowbirdFlock]

@malelion Of course the rude comments are all from non-Greenlanders. People from hotter countries like to be rude on other countries' anthem videos. So, great respect to Greenland, our good friendly neighbour! From Canada.

[malelion]

@SnowbirdFlock Thanks, my friend. Its great feeling when people are being nice. And you´re right.

[cmpFRANCE93]

@malelion you are american geographycally ( i mean american continent) , your country is a country protected/inside denmark , its your territory, of course , because you are greenlandic and danish , about handle it i don't think so ( at first sight, altough i know that greenland is not poor :)

no hard feelings too

[malelion]

@cmpFRANCE93

We dont have anything to do with America. and Denmark doesnt protect us. Im not danish. We are not inside Denmark. We have Home Rule. Take care.

[cmpFRANCE93]

@malelion you are both greenlandic and danish even if you not want , legally , and i know that you not are inside denmark but you are a danish colony with home rule

[MsPani1]

@malelion "our own" ?? whatcha talkin' about, thanks to dk the schools and medicin are free for y'all, thanks to DK you have kroner and just a whole lot of thanks to DK for the things they helped with LOL I know what I'm talking . All in all was born/rasied in greenaland while it was danish territory, so I'm proud to say I'm greenlandic-danish :D love 2 of my countries equally.. thinks it's naive thought for wishing to be independant, and I for one can not see how greenland'll survive,.

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@malelion Yes but would you be able to protect yourselves? You would still need the US to protect you.

[CymruDK]

@WellIAmThePope1293 Still??? You can't say still! May I remind you that Greenland is Danish territory so the US have nothing to do in Greenland.

By the way, what will the US will have to protect Greenland from? Invading Icelandic forces? The wrath of the Faroese? Canada?

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@CymruDK During World War II Germany was fucking every country up in Europe and would have eventually invaded Greenland. Since Denmark was invaded it could no longer protect Greenland so the US came in and made bases and airstrips there to protect it. Since then the US is still protecting Greenland but it's still recognized as Danish sovereignty

[horuz58]

way hitler wanted greenland? does he like snow or somthing?

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@horuz58 It would be a great strategic point for the war

[Troggleboggle]

@horuz58 If Hitler won against Britain and Russia I have no doubt he'd go for Greenland. Think about it, he would have an AMAZING staging point to launch his attack on Northern Canada. (And when I say launch, I basically mean walk in. Northern Canada is deserted NOW...imagine it 65 years ago?)

Slowly he could move south, attack Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver etc. From there he simply works his way down.

[LundbyFizz]

@WellIAmThePope1293 Hahaha first of all if Greenland was attacked im pretty sure that it would be the danish army who would help

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@LundbyFizz Uh no your wrong there the US has protective custody over Greenland.

[LundbyFizz]

@WellIAmThePope1293 Are you sure?

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@LundbyFizz Im pretty sure

[LundbyFizz]

@WellIAmThePope1293 Well tbh "pretty sure" doesnt mean that its true

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@LundbyFizz Oh its true

[WellIAmThePope1293]

@LundbyFizz Look it up detedee

[KeltDevAngel]

@malelion if you come from Greenland,I TRULY wish you,ll succeed to become independent again,one day!Love from Italy!

[TheTomatoHater]

@malelion Try to understand than you and your territory will dive to anarchy if danish give to greenland a indipendence. You are too stupid to care for yourself

[danieru1979]

it's a crazy japanese flag ^^

[marcoebert]

Greenland is independent!!

--> But still not very rich now...

[Kralle18]

Greenland is not independent.

[cmpFRANCE93]

@Kralle18 its not independent, but its what it has to do, a colony of denmark with its own government, flag, anthem...... ,etc, etc

[Quintinohthree]

@cmpFRANCE93

It's not a colony either but a constituent country, like Aruba to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, only bigger, colder and less populated.

[danishpride1]

English translation

[danishpride1]

Our country, which has become so old your head is all covered with white hair.

Always held us, your children, in your bosom and gave us the riches of your coasts.

As middle children in the family we blossomed here Kalaallit,

we want to call ourselves before your proud and honourable head.

With a burning desire to develop what you have to give, renewing,

removing your obstacles of our desire to move forward, forward.

[danishpride1]

The way of matured societies is our zealous goal to attain;

the effect of speech and letters we long to behold.

Humbleness is not the course, Kalaallit wake up and be proud!

A dignified life is our goal; courageously take a stand.

[ausspan]

It is said that the white stripe as representing the glaciers and ice cap, which cover more than 80% of the island; the red stripe, the ocean; the red semicircle, the sun, with its bottom part sunk in the ocean; and the white semicircle, the icebergs and pack ice. The design is also reminiscent of the setting sun half-submerged below the horizon and reflected on the sea. The colours of the flag are the same as those of the Dannebrog, symbolising Greenland's place in the Danish Realm.

[greenpeacemyass]

Is the flag just an amination or what?

It's the same on all the clips :P

[4tlas91]

omg did you really thought the flag was real?

[greenpeacemyass]

omg are you really acting bad-ass e-gangster while listening to national anthems?
