I get the feeling a lot of them are American. Stereotypically stupid most of them too.
Me? Good 'ole "Engerlaaand. Is that near London?"...

--------------------------------...Ha, yeah. Like none of em is saying we're "American" or "Canadian", it's all - "we're such a wonderful melting pot of soo many nationalities and cultures!"

haha, pascii.
You know what would be intesting? If someone was like part Korean, and part Namibian. Then i'd be like woah, that's a mix. Or part sioux and part sri lankan. Or the hot girl i work with who's half Swedish and half Sudanese.

theres so many ways to look at this... depends if you are asking where people live, or...... what countries they and their family come from (languages, culture etc), or........ what their ethnic/genetic? background is... it all tends to get mixed up in these threads...
- Kuz0
Y'all look the same to me

I get tired of having to explain this... it's perfectly simple
If you are Scottish then you are British but if you are British you are not Scottish by default.
Ergo they are NOT the same thing.
If that's too difficult try this:
A carrot is a vegetable.
A vegetable is not a carrot.KEN?
- Kuz0
What??
you beins stupid?how the fuck you gonna say "i'm half carrot half vegetable"
u feel silly now? That's ok, happens to the best of us, especially with insecure Scottish people who have trouble accepting the term "British"

Kuz, I think you are focusing too much on race as being the only 'interesting' thing.
The original question seemed to be more about location (where are the NT users located?)...then everyone started talking about which country they and their family came from (also interesting), and now you are talking about whether everyone is from sufficiently interesting racial backgrounds... what does this all mean? I dont know...except that NT threads go all over the place...
- Kuz0
no i'm not
and i'm highlighting something very interesting. We're in agreement ribit. Don't fight me join me. Together we're indestructible.A deconstruction of the very idea of race, culture, nation, heritabge - and the reasons behind the choices people make when they identify themselves.
Anyways, i didnt read all the thread, and am going on (cos i've got nowt to do at work on a friday) why a thread about nationality got so mixed up. If it is a thread about nationality then it's just about what ur citizenship is. Mine is dual Pakistani/British. So i guess that's the end of that.
- ribit0
yep... actually the title says Nationality, but the question seemed to be more about 'where are you located' (not the same thing)....

Kuz,
know what happens wqhen you piss into the wind??
Right I'll try once more, seeing as I am feeling patient today.....
take one large tupperware and put a smaller one into it.... the bigger one is Britain, the smaller one is Scotland.
also I never professed to being half scottish half british.
shite the kilt.
- ribit0
But where does Wales fit in the Tupperware scenario?!
- MX_OnD0
wales is a another smaller tupperware inside the bigger one, beside the original little one....
Aaaarrrrgggg, I'll start again....
Right, take one big tupperware,
put three smaller tupperwares inside it but not inside each other!!!
Now the big one is Britain, and the smaller ones are Scotland, Wales and England.
you're welcome.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE MX!!
You're a nice guy, and always look forward to ur posts.. but fuckin hell
SHE SAID I AM HALF SCOTTISH HALF BRITISH!!!!!!!!
To use ur analogy,that's like saying i'm "half carrot, half vegetable" THAT IS THE REDUNDANT STATEMENT!!
Why the fuck are u taking me out of context, twisting me on some pedantic semantic bullshit? huh punk?? Don't u got nothing better to do ;) me neither!!
Right.. She cud say i'm half scottish, half englih, or half welsh or half scottish. or, more simply, i am ALL British. That would make sense
Saying i'm half scottish half Brisith - ya get me??? Scottish is Briish. Granted British isn't Scottish.Ok, thank you, it was nice talking to u, take care d00d!
- Kuz0
actually she didn't say i'm half scottish half british. she said part. but just illustrating a point which was meant to be humourous and irreverant, and now u just took all the fun out of it.
