Why don't you organised a form of compromise and share your bank account details with me? It is sharing, surely you would just do that because it is better than me taking your money at gun point?

Seriously... compromise? sharing? You are speaking in code. I know you are smarter than that, so clearly you are implying something else. I find that very, very rude.
The bank account example isn't really correct because people can and do share a joint operational account for various activities (especially business partners). The basic idea is that the disputants should share because the overlapping nature of the territorial claims due to the positioning of the islands makes sharing more constructive and productive than simply claiming 'this is mine', regardless of who's claiming and controlling what.
