I'm proud of being Icelandic. I'm sure you're patriotic too of your country. And I've been reading definitions about Iceland not wanting to be Norwegian and I'm saying that I don't have any problem with the fellow Norwegians out there.
Its quite a conflict on this site.

Personally I think that Iceland should get over the fact that it used to be Norwegian territory. And my father came from Iceland and I've lived in Norway for seven years now and I've met the most nice and clean people ever.
No they wouldn't be in trouble without their Oil. Vikings didn't all come from Norway either. Some came from Sweden. All of Scandinavia. And plus you're all descended from Norwegians who probably loved you.
Did you notice? Oh wait it's probably because you just wanted to start a show for the whole Urban Dictionary. My father who was Icelandic born there and everything is too descended from other Scandinavians who I love.
So now that I've mentioned it no one needs conflict. And I think that people who like to cause conflicts are simply uneducated little cretins with no talent.
I'm still proud of being Icelandic.
Peace People

An Icelander is a person from Iceland, someone of Icelandic decent, or someone with Icelandic citzenship.
Most native Icelanders are of Norwegian and Celtic ancestory although there others of other ancestry mainly Scandinavian.
The first inhabitants of Iceland were Irish monks recorded by Norweigan settler Ari Thorgilsson in the Íslendingab(the book of Icelanders) Iceland was settled by the Norse in the 9th century A.D.
The oldest known source that mentions the name "Iceland" is an 11th century Gothic rune carving and the first written source that mentioned Icelands esistance was a book by an Irish monk Dicuil.
Results of genetic testing show the majority of male settlers of Iceland were of Viking heritage, while most of the woman are said to be of Celtic heritage.

Person 1: Man, I wish I was an Icelander.
Person 2: Yeah being from Utah sucks.
Me: Wow, I never realised it can get colder in the winter where I live then in Iceland. Maybe I should move.
Me: Icelanders have the coolest accent.

Iceland vs. Canada?? god help you. As one higly ranked officer on the u.n.army base in Keflavik said: "We, and the rest of the world should be thankful that this nation does not have an army and is peaceful, because specially trained navy-seal go partying downtown Reykjavik,and if they have an attitude towards the locals and go looking for a fight, they get beaten up by teenagers!! The vikings are alive but peaceful, but don´t give a drunk one a attitude, because they don´t know what it means to run away and don´t care about getting hurt, they just go berserk (another word for viking). It´s a matter of pride for them, imprinted in their genes. An army of Iceland would be without a dought the best fighting force of the planet, but as the acient warriors, they understand that fighting and violence is not the way to live. But when they drink all that can be easily forgotten, and they do drink alot.
Just look at the cod-wars. Icelandic coastguard-ship going head on in a game of chicken with huge british warships, and simply dare-ing them to use their guns. And of course the Icelanders never backed, never gave up, and won these "peaceful"-wars three times in a row!"
....so Canada? Don´t mess with what you know nothing of, ´cause you might hurt yourself in the progress.

Iceland : named the land of ice so people in overcrowded cities of Europe wouldn´t flock out there. Some say the best kept secret of the world.
Greenland: named so to attract people in Iceland to move there, but it didn´t work but the name stuck.
