Re: How cynical do you need to be to feel good in the morning?
Yeah, for the most part I agree with the whole accepted usage thing, and race has become the commonly used term for both ethnicity and nationality, but in this specific case race is a scientifcally defined term, and the general public not understanding and misusing a scientifically defined term doesn't change the science behind it. FWIW, I had to take a semester long course that was dedicated to this topic for a scholarship.
And to answer the original question, British is a nationality. GoT

You could read it? It's just a lot of people making a point of proving that they are correct, so nothing that you'd be familiar with. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: How cynical do you need to be to feel good in the morning?
like i said, i only skim it because the initial topic wasn't interesting to me. it appears to have morphed into something equally uninteresting, but i'm just surprised that i can't get a line on it by scanning the new posts. and i back it up when i need to.

Yeah, the whole thing is not very interesting. For some reason, I seem to have decided to make it the place that I can argue with the most people, the only worthwhile point being against ethnicity (ok GoT?) stereotyping.

Re: How cynical do you need to be to feel good in the morning?
I don't have the energy to find the post I wanted to respond to, but I felt like making the point again.
Somebody mentioned this board's reputation for being "mean". I post on all flavors of message boards, and this is BY FAR the most respectful and well mannered board I've seen.

If you can be arsed the important topic for me in this thread is the assertion made by some pompous primadona that if you are in anyway sarcastic you must be immature/adolescant.
