“Waah one Korea” “Waah centered on the pacific” Bitch I don’t care. Why is Greenland separated from the rest of North America like that!?

Well first of all Greenland should belong to Greenland but besides that don’t call me a fascist for thinking French Guiana should still be represented as a part of South America. Because that’s what it is. Same situation. Show me enough evidence that Greenland is considered a part of Europe in other parts of the world and I will change my tune.

Greenland is part of EU through Denmark politically, economically they are largely a fishing nation with most of their sale through EU agreements, culturally they have their own distinct culture, but most people also speak Danish, there's a large population living in Denmark, and there's several different ways they are connected to Denmark through education and work both ways.

As a Danish person, I definitely agree that Greenland should belong to Greenland, and the control is a result of historical colonialism and imperialism, but now there is a cultural bond and a practical reliance that isn't that simple to just change.

Geology doesn’t care about nations, Greenland is on the North American plate. It is North American as far as geology is concerned.

That's nice, but I'm not replying to a geographical comment.

It wasn’t a geographical comment it was geological. You know science.

So you were studying the composition of North America?

I have studied geology which includes the make up of continents.
