We (Danes) are also known for “danish” (pastry), which we call wienerbrød. I bet Americans think it's an American invention they just happen to call “danish”, without knowing what danish is referring to otherwise. :lol:

The first thing which come to my mind about Denmark are nice landscapes, good air, good trains.

About Norway:

They take all our pork, cigarettes and boose. They all vote for the progress party "FrP" because they have too much oil-money. Ony eat bread to each meal. Walks around with skis on their legs and with a flag in their hand. They love to wear a "lusekofta" and talks about trolls. They all love Sweden even if they make fun of us and they always stay happy. Their roads never go straight, even their straightest way between Oslo and Gradermoen is not straight. They love to build tunnels and hates "bompenger" which is "road-fee".

About Finland:

They love to take baths even in the cold winter, they have special saunas that makes them all healthy, but drink all bear and boose to get rid ot the healthyness. They have brooms made of leaf-branches that they hit each other with in the sauna and (I always see them with big bellys). Their women loves to play violine and have long blonde hair. They all listen to hard rock and loves their Mummy-trolls. They all speak strangely in English and they have too many lakes to be able to count them. And they hate Russia for taken Karelia from them!

For both Norway and Finland ofcause they are cute when they talk Norwegian and Swedish (for the Finns).

Haha. Now what I can also bash my neighbours!

The base language is English,they have spelling differences thats all and different pronounciations for certain things,like what we call the Boot of a car they call the trunk,and they spell Color like so,we spell Colour with a U....,its what Americanisms are adaptations of the English language,to call it "American" is fabrication as no language exists as American,the same with Australia,there is no Australian form of a language they speak English

How can a language derived from Saxon decent actually be any closer to the True language than the English it is encrytped from?????
How do you think the Americans spoke such a tongue!!!!!from English natives settling there!!!!i thats how English was also derived from Saxon decent,hence why English has close proximities to German language

if was the case of an Invented language of America then they would have more cause to be Italian or spanish derived languistics due to Amerigo Vespucci first settling and discovering the Continents

It is the case with Australia,do some research and you'll discover why such language exist within foreign countries,not because the language is derived there it is more than likely from Foreign decent of such people settliing there

American's should be speaking Arabic :lol: / Native Indian mix,
since the Arabs "discovered" America before the Chinese got there & waaaay before Columbus fluked it.

How much better would the world be if the US govt was brothers with
Both Israelis & Arabs.

How much less conflict would there be in the world if America was still an Arab continent???

it is not that well documented about the Phoenicians/ Israelite settlement,perhaps thats why America sees tham as mass enemies,still i think they have more Hispanic elements than Arabic culture although Arab decent is the roots of Spanish heritage so i suppose they all intertwine along the centuries,even the Anglo saxon influence too

Columbus didnt really fluke it as he discovered the west indies so it was a far miss Amerigo Vespucci actually discovered the Continent as we know it but it was really columbus opening the way for such discoveries for without his part in it I doubt very much that Vespucci would have even thought about such voyages given that he was of the Columbus era and even supposedly helped him..
As with the chinese aspect there is even rumors that North Europeans were settled there long before Columbus anyway so whos really nows the true discovery and settlement.

AT the rate at which Hispanics and non "white" poeple are expanding in the US,
at some point one will see a majority non white populace
still governed by a minority white ... much like say Brazil, Argentina, SA during apartheid.

What happened to Rome : turned from inside out anti Christian to a Christian state
is predicted of USA.
I.e at some point it will become a Musilm country, due to this populace change .. BUT more a Real Muslim country (tolerant, just, innovative : like in Andalucia, Cordoba, Al Hambra etc etc)
and not what passses for a Muslim country in Arabia / Mid East.

But like most predictions, it probably Not happen quite like this.
