    A good example of how spin can ruin a person’s lively hood.

    Why doesn't the UN clean up their own backyard first and do something about Spain's bull fighting?

    Maybe we should extend an invitation to Greenland to leave good ol Denmark (who obviously isn't backing Greenlander interests very strongly on the home front) and join us. 8)

    We'll hunt those dirty lil bastards together.

    got to watch Larry King some years ago with the McCartny ex-peg-leg whoever she was yammering on about it... then Larry pulls out the video conference with the Premier of Newfoundland who had the charts and stats to back up his arguments and made that daffy blowhard look like the dumb-ass clueless meddler she is. :rock:

    resorting to "oh, but the ice is running red with their blood" Premier response "it's the same thing with chickens or cows... they bleed. It just happens that they are standing on the white ice and snow and you can see it clearer than in a slaughter-house"

    stay out of it hollywood and your ilk

    I believe they are still a part of the "Kingdom of Denmark" but I could be wrong...
