DK-Prof and his people are subjects to the Swedish King.  Why would they bow to some failed ex-frog? You guys should have held out for someone classier, like Davout or Suchet. It annoys the Swedes that they've never managed to rule Denmark, so they tell themselves fairy tales to help them sleep at night. We let them rule Norway for a few years, but that didn't help them feel any better.

You're just butthurt that most of what used to be Denmark is now part of Sweden. The only reason we left you a small plot of land is because we felt sorry for you after having buttfucked you for a few centuries. You're welcome btw.

Sour grapes are sour grapes. Everyone knows that you wish you could have taken Denmark, but you never could.
The fact that you temporarily had some military success - when you brought in a Frenchman to do what the actual Swedes could not - does not change the fact that over the past 1000 years, Sweden and Norway have at best been junior partners in Scandinavia. I think we all know who ruled whom during the Kalmar Union, when all of Scandinavia was ruled by Denmark. That's how simple it is. We ruled you, and we ruled Norway. You never did the same. Please try to get over it.  But, not to worry. The older and wiser Danish sibling doesn't mind letting the kids strut around for a while. It is good for your fragile egos, after all. 
Plus, you've RUINED the parts of Sweden that we used to run, so we no longer want them back. Serioulsy, what have you done to Malmo and Goteborg?

Honestly, all joking aside, I think a new Kalmar Union - with some kind of rotating monarch that switches from Denmark-Sweden-Norway every 10 years or something like that - would be a great idea.
Screw this EU nonsense, and bring back Kalmar. (... with the Finns and the Baltic States as junior partners, if they suck up to us enough).

So it doesn't actually have anything at all to do with the more routine contact I had with the Danish royal family, being an officer in their personal guard regiment. That was basically just a job, working (indirectly) for the royal family. But that was only because it was the "family" regiment. So I didn't join BECAUSE of the royal connection, but joined because it was where my dad had served.
It is ok DK....I understand....I wish I could have gone in the family regiment, 'the Black Watch'...but Dad moved all the way over here |

Quoted: Quoted: Willem-Alexander becomes new Dutch king AMSTERDAM (AP) — Willem-Alexander became the first Dutch king in more than a century Tuesday as his mother, Beatrix, abdicated after 33 years as queen. The generational change in the House of Orange-Nassau gave the Netherlands a moment of celebration, pageantry and brief respite as this trading nation of nearly 17 million struggles through a lengthy recession brought on by the European economic crisis. Visibly emotional, the much-loved Beatrix ended her reign in a nationally televised signing ceremony as thousands of orange-clad people cheered outside. Millions more were expected to watch on television. Link Congrats to DK-Prof and his new King!  Isn't DK-Prof Danish and not Dutch? Same thing, duh. |

We were (and still are) the big dog in Northern Europe. We conquered pretty much everything from the Atlantic to Moscow at one time or another. We've kicked the collective asses of not only you Danes, but also of the Germans, Russians, Norwegians, Poles, Turks and many more. The only time in the last half of the millennium that you guys have had any success was when you partnered up with the Russians, and even then we stomped your asses into the ground eventually. The only reason a part of Denmark remains is because we allowed it. You're welcome.
Skåne has always been a shithole so we thought that no one would notice if we dumped some of our refuse there.

Yes but the House of Orange were never kings until relatively recently. The Netherlands was a republic since the late middle ages with the Stadhouder (not a king) being from the House of Orange and usually in charge of the military affairs but by no means did this equal political power Troops of the House of Orange blowing up the grave of the real patriot Joan van der Capellen tot den Pol who supported the American cause http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_van_der_Capellen_tot_den_Pol Previously, he had fallen foul of the Stadholder prince William V of Orange and the members of the States when he proclaimed himself against expansion of the army and the fleet. When in 1776 the British King George III asked the Dutch whether he could borrow the Scotch Brigade (a unit of mercenaries in Dutch service) to be deployed in the war with the American Republic, he voted against.
He also championed the Dutch RTKBA as a natural right ! And we have the British to thank for putting the House of Orange in to power Long Live the Old Dutch Republic ! |

Grandfather Coyote is right, the Native Americans were democracy before Europe. Also there was a significant interaction between Europe and America. Prince Henry was there, the Vikings were there several hundred years before the rest of Europe and intermarried. I was talking with my cousin Robert, he is Cree and a Professor of NA Studies...he is also of Scots descent and told me about the Viking interaction, That would be Norway not Sweden

... As an aside, I actually me that guy when we were teenagers. Nice guy. Are you some kind of groupie for royalty?. Every time something like this comes up; you met them, stood guard at their estate, or were friends w/ their cousin. No, not at all. It was a coincidental meeting. We were both at an international event for our respective high schools (I was in high school in Denmark, and he was obviously in Holland). He had screwed something up, and I called him on it, and he wrote me a note apologizing. We talked briefly afterwards, and he was a friendly guy. Only when I later looked at his signature on the note did I realize he was the Dutch crown prince. So it doesn't actually have anything at all to do with the more routine contact I had with the Danish royal family, being an officer in their personal guard regiment. That was basically just a job, working (indirectly) for the royal family. But that was only because it was the "family" regiment. So I didn't join BECAUSE of the royal connection, but joined because it was where my dad had served. So when you guys conversed, what language did you speak? I've always wondered how that works between European countries... do you guys rock paper scissors for who's language you speak, or do you just pick a neutral one like English? |
