Congrats to the Brits, you can now choose what continent you want to be in.

So you make very vague and assholeish comments and expect me to be able to follow your train of thought?

But hey at least you finally made it clear. Ahh, it looks like you missed MY entire point to begin with. I wasn’t wrong about what I said. I said people in mainland Europe refer to themselves as whatever actual country they’re from, they don’t just say “I’m European.” They’ll say “I’m German.” Or whatever. It was a side comment, and no one with half a brain would interpret it as me saying that the mainlanders don’t consider themselves legally or geographically European.,That’s why I said “To be fair.” As in, to be fair to the people who find it weird that Brits wouldn’t call themselves European. In other words, no one really does call themselves European if they actually know where they came from. It’s typically Americans or other white/whatever people who don’t actually know where their genetic heritage is from other than whatever giant landmass their general ethnicity is from. That’s one of the few instances where someone would just say “I’m European.” It’s really usually someone else who would refer to someone else as “European”, or “Hispanic” or whatever blanket term to describe their skin tone or accent.

So, that was the point of MY post that you so clearly missed.

I’m sorry you had trouble understanding.

Also, I recommend you go back to school or smoke weed or something. None of what I said about the other topic was me being a grammar Nazi, in fact it’s closer to being on the other side of that argument. And I wasn’t trying to avoid anything, you’re just terrible at clarifying what you’re talking about, hence me asking you to clarify. Your posting history seems to scream angst and resentment towards education, like you’re some kind of bitter anti-intellectual who gets angry and lashy pretty quick whenever someone posts something with above average intelligence that you don’t understand. It’s not my fault you didn’t understand. Don’t blame your academic failures on anyone else but yourself.
