grue 1 #1 August 24, 2013 I just had someone "defriend" me on facebook because I was baiting him into an argument just out of Sunday morning boredom I have to paraphrase because I can't screenshot the conversation now that he deleted me, but: He posted something about having "Scottish pride", and I replied with something along the lines of "How can you have pride about being Scottish, it's not even a real country" "How are we not a real country??" "What's the internet domain for Scotland? Australia has AU, Canada has CA, Ireland has IE, Spain has ES, etc…" "We don't have one" "QED, not a real country" "Well we're part of the UK" "Yeah, a real country DEFINITELY doesn't have someone else's head of state on their money" "Well the Queen is head of state of a lot of countries" "Yeah that's why we can't take England seriously either. They've got Canada's leader on their money, for fuck's sake!" It's all in good fun, and hopefully he'll calm down later. Surely he should know me after this many years, right? cavete terrae.

promise5 17 #8 August 25, 2013 Dang!! I do that. I don't see it ad trolling but just teasing. Though teasing about a country is tricky people do take offense. But to unfriend someone over it? eeekkk! woah wait a minute. Are you from New Zealand ? Hell, thats not a country either. Or is that the Australian flag? Dang No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
