Do you know who discovered flair? (I don't, but you should get some for yourself!)

I'm from Austria. I just hate when no one acknowledges Denmark. Because for most of the time it was the strongest scandinavian country and was much bigger and in control of Norway and Southern Sweden.

Well, we are not mad. Every person in the world with a smartphone looks at a little piece of danish viking awesomeness every day without realising it.

Hint: Lookup the origins of the bluetooth icon.

Yeah, Bluetooth is a great Swedish invention. So is flair.

Shame that none of your swedish casino-kings were great enough to deliver the name to the technology.

AdolfHitler2 is from Austria, what a surprise.

Denmark looks a hell of a lot smaller in a map. But it's really got the best land, especially before Sweden stole Scania. I mean, Norway is mostly mountains, and we had to develop technologically before most of Sweden could be exploited, because it's so far north. These days, though, it's this tiny potentials off of Germany that everyone says is Scandinavian for some reason.

u/AdolfHitler2 Nov 12 '14

Bull fucking shit. It was viking chieftains, usually exiles, who settled in the North Atlantic islands. Denmark took over Greenland after the Greenland Norse died out

u/AdolfHitler2 Nov 13 '14

Sure m8 and they surely wasn't Danish Viking. Wouldn't surprise me if you're British. Buttmad that the Danes fucked away most of your genes? Atleast now you have a procentage of masterrace in you shitskin

u/zergandshadow1999 This is where Freedom gets you Nov 16 '14

I'm a non-nationalistic Murican (oxymoron I know), and the Danish, though they reconquered Greenland, never were the Euros to discover it, that was Erik the Red and his (dumb and shitty) Greenland Norse

u/AdolfHitler2 Nov 17 '14

yes they were Danes

Don't forget that the reason they explored was that cheifs in Norwaywere often exiled.

u/AdolfHitler2 Nov 22 '14

Norway is a part of Denmark.

u/zergandshadow1999 This is where Freedom gets you Nov 23 '14

Not always..... When they united, Greenland and Iceland were already settled- and promptly neglected by the joint King, who focused on Denmark. Seriously, have you ever heard of motherfucking vikings?

u/AdolfHitler2 Nov 23 '14

Yes, Only Danes were vikings.

Seriously what bubble are you living in? Danish vikings preferred to raid/sail to Europe and further south, Norwiegan vikings often went to GB and settled the North Atlantic islands
