CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Belgium is sending a scouting officer to Greenland too!

Hey, everyone talks about a brilliant salesman being able to "sell ice to Eskimos"
So if Demark sells Greenland to the US, would it be "selling Eskimos to ICE"?

Did you not see the post I was replying to? lol
It was a person saying:
Belgium joins the countries (France, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden , Denmark, Finland) to support Greenland against the marauders that are lurking in the dark. Whatever barbarian invader tries to occupy Greenland, they will meet a strong coalition.
Team Greenland grows every day.
So it was that poster making that suggestion, not me.
I was just pointing out the absurdity of the very notion. No, those other nations aren't seriously planning on "repelling anything", they're not stupid. It's merely a symbolic gesture.

By investigating and producing detailed breakdowns of military capabilities? When a simple 'Don't be absurd' would suffice?
Well, all righty then...

As I noted in the post, I didn't investigate, I typed a 20-second question into Claude by Anthropic and had it spit out the info for me.
But just to recap the events:
When you thought it was my premise, you implied I was stupid.
When I pointed out it was someone else's premise who aligns with you ideologically, I was just replying to highlight how absurd the notion is...
Pivot to implying "well, oh yeah, you're still the stupid one because you spent too much effort replying to that"
Feels sort of like the premise isn't what you had an issue with, and perhaps you saw me replying and felt compelled to oppose me
