I thought you were referring a thread at some point in the past. It is
clear I mentioned it 1st in this thread and that you have called yourself
part-irish in the past. I’m not sure what your point is? Have I offended
you?
|
No, no offense. I just thought there was irony to you faulting Americans
for not being able to identify themselves simply as Americans, and then
doing the same yourself to someone who had not done so. :-)
|
Well you have identified yourself “Half-Irish”. Why is it a problem for me
to remind you of that?
|
Searching under the phrase you place in quotes yields no messages that I can
find where I said such. Wouldn’t be accurate anyway since I am not
half-Irish.
|
Search for “bruce half irish”. It is not the phrase i place in quotes, but you do say
you are half Irish!
|
Not another word safari! If you have an exact cut and paste quote, I can figure
it out. I’m 1/4 Irish. The most I can figure is that I was sloppy and said
something about the Irish “half” of the family because I only deal with the
German and Irish sides, and never the Norwegian or Dutch.
But that’s not saying I’m “Irish-American” in any case. :-)
| |
| |
and that you keep doing it and keep not seeing the irony in
it. :-)
|
“Americans don’t do irony”; that is why your sit-coms are so bad! I’m
British; we invented irony!
|
No, the Irish invented irony. The English simply stole it (and it bounces off
the Scots, who simply don’t understand it).
I don’t watch sit-coms in any case.
