Ah yes, Canada and Denmark's epic battle for Hans Island.

Hans Island is the smallest of three islands not far from Greenland's coast, and Canada and Denmark have been fighting over it for years.

War ships from both sides patrol the area, and when they encounter each other they...show their flags.
When the soldiers leave the ships they...take the other side's flag down and raise their own.
Sometimes they leave a bottle of whiskey for each other too.

Quite possibly the tamest war ever, yet USA and Sweden have tried their best to make the sides hate each other. USA's media have had stories about Denmark "invading Canadian soil" and Swedish media had a few stories about it as well and later comedians called Danish politicians and pretended to be Canadian politicians.

So far it hasn't really worked. :XD:

Yes, but it's too fast moving here. I'm in Florida. And usually tourist places aren't the best places to live.

odd how that contrast is.

That is true considering I live in a tourist place as well >.> very weather dependent.

Is it nice where you live, people-wise? Florida isn't that great if you want to make friends. People are too busy, or too rude, or too shallow, etc.

Well it really depends, there are some nice people, there are some mean people, there are polite people and rude people. Where I live is rather laid back but at the same time it can be too laid back where a lot of people hate the fact nothing really exciting happens where I live. I think generally the area is nice but it's because it's so small everyone has grown up with each other and learned to tolerate each other as they've grown up together.
