Why would you separate the UK from the rest of Europe,  that doesnt make any sense.  Would have given you one more option to add.

Im from USA by the way


Because it'll be a cold day in hell before I classify myself as European... and I think I share the same views as many, many Brits on this matter.

Dude can you tone it down a little plz. i dont want anyone bieng or even hinting at bieng racist on this thread. Im a brit and i think most people think like that but can you just choose your words carefully? Thanks (please dont take this as an badly just your post sounds a little like flaming)

Racist? Far from it. There is no "European" race. If I were French, German, Italian, or whatever, I'd say the exact same thing. The "European nationality" is a product of a load of pathetic politicians in Brussels.

Not to argue with you, because I totally respect your opinion. But, if you say there is no European race or nationality (which I agree with), the only way to be European is from a geographical stanpoint, and in that respect GB is part of Europe. So why do you dislike being called European so much?

Like, you can be Asian or African and that doesn't mean you share a common nationality or something, you state what continent you come from.


You're right, from a geographic standpoint, I am "European"... but the term, in reality, has changed to mean so much more. Now, European pretty much means "citizen of Europe".

In an ideal world, yes, I'm European, in a geographic sense. But, in the world we live in today, so much baggage has been attached to that, that I'd rather just steer clear from the whole "European" thing.

That's fair enough.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

My passport says Spanish. But I feel Basque. Though I live in the UK now. However, I'm moving to Japan soon.

That's not a country. Get over it.

It IS a country. It is actually called the Basque Country, that's its name, and even Spanish people call it that. What it is not is a state. So it's a country without a state, which sucks. We have a small degree of independence, but we belong to the Spanish state.

Anyway, I was explaining what I feel, that's it. When Spain won the world cup, for example, I felt absolutely nothing. I actually booked a flight that was flying during the final and missed the match, because I couln't care less. I don't hate Spain and didn't root for Holland, but I just don't feel I'm Spanish at all.

But I don't like talking about these things so much, so I'll stop now.

It's not a country. It's a region in Spain. Let go of these separatist tendencies.


Way to be rude.

I'm not rude. I'm trying to prevent terrorism.

You know, Spain has other two historical nationalities besides the Basque Country (Catalonia and Galicia), and funnily enough, they don't have any terrorist nutjobs.



I'm too old for this gaming shit.

Hey, it could happen...

Yep, but there is a Basque terrorist group (I think it's called ETA). Just trying to keep Troll_Whisperer from being recruited.

Man, I really don't have a specific nationality, I have lived as long all over Europe as I have lived all over in the US.

 

P.S. The Basque Country is not  country, it just happens to be a regino whose name has the word "country" in it. Same as Catalunia and Galicia.

Where were you born? What nationality did your parents have?

That's not exactly what nationality is. Nationality is something you identify with and consider your own nation. Plenty of Europeans can be of American nationality, in fact some immigrants are more nationalistic than some natural born Americans.

As it stands any country I have been in has its down falls and upsides, in some one outweight the other. I only put myself as European because I find that Europeans have far, FAR, more practical culture than Americans. For example, Why the hell do I have to shower if I never left my house for 3 straight days due to finals? Americans will be shocked, even when I show them beyond any reasonable doubt what a downright retarded idea that is. Most Europeans will agree with me.
