| | Posted: | | | | Trust me, stars are not a priority to me. I actually hate the star system because it isn't representative of how helpful users are. I prefer the board style where you can say 'thanks' instead and your name shows up underneath the users post who you gave thanks to. Shows appreciation far better IMHO.  |

You being from France I realize that anarchy is in your blood...
And you being from America means that being an ignorant a hole is in your blood. We will just forget for a moment if it wasn't for the French there would have been no America.
And without England there would be no Scotland.
WE ALL NEED TO GET ALONG.
lol
Don't know where your getting that from cause actually there's a lot more in history to suggest Scotland has made a lot more of a contribution to England.
The point, Skip Jr., is that your anti-American statements is as retarded as Skip's anti-French statements. Both are pointless, racist, ignorant rhetoric.
You both need to get your heads out of your respective country's bums. ROFL. This is perhaps one of the most absurd statements ever made. Racist....hmmmm....correct me if i am wrong but France is not a RACE, they can't even be called an ethnic grouping. They are a country and, while don't know what their current demographics are, the french are historically of the Caucassian RACE...for those that re linguistically challenged that means they are historically predominantly white, though that may not be true today.

Do you know how many errors in the CLT can be traced directly back to France, which, sir, I lay at your feet. Quoting Dr Pavlov: Quote:
I did not attack France, i stated a fact If this is a fact, you can give statistics to prove your accusations, as I asked you in the first page of this thread. If you cannot document your accusation, that just proves that you attack France without any reason, just as you always did in the past and continue to do... | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | Absolutely, Sam. I cannot imagine how it possibly could be. As I said, they are not even an ethnic group, Germans are not a race, Brits are not a raceand neither are the Scots. The Japanese are not race unto themselves, they are from the nation of Japan.

| | Posted: | | | | Americans still have to learn that race has nothing to do with national identity. There are ppl here who Chinese in ethicity yet 100% Scots in nationality.
It's a testament to the strength of a nation that welcomes other ethnicity's into it's national identity. |

Yes I have. That's why you don't see me slamming them. Because I've left my home town of Mayberry. You have no point on this, I assure you.
Care to state which ones exactly.
What difference does it make? I don't slam other countries here like you or Skip. If you want to find out bad enough, work for it. I posted where I've been. 
Well your statement on bulletpoint review that Scotland is third world country leads my to believe that you haven't been any where further than Canada.
I have been to many countrys in Europe and America. I took a trip along the east coast and many of the citys that i encountered there i hope i never experience again cause frankly in comparison to places like Denmark and Norway two countrys i have had the pleasure of visiting.
Your country can't hold a candle to them. Of course as individuals i know a lot of rather nice Americas. But collectively and in comparison to where i live and the other places i have seen.
I rather not be in America. I think you should just stop. Your praise of Scotland and your hate of America have no place here. You always show up in threads and keep bashing other countries while praising Scotland. You sound like a little boy to me. Grow up. |

You sound like a little boy to me. Grow up. There's a shiitake mushroom load of things i hate about Scotland but then again i believe there's nothing wrong with Scotland that can't be fixed with what's right with Scotland. So i tend to focus on the positive. America i tend to hate as collective more than one individual. Then again i live with the small bit of hope America can become like most other developed nations. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not even reading the thread. What's the point? We've gone over this same stuff with you over and over and over and over, etc.
To answer the question, "Must rules be followed?", the answer is yes. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | Surfeur: You should have guessed exactly how such a thread would play out.  Skip and FilmAlba: Since this is an international community, it's probably best to keep any statements about any country out of the discussions regardless of what you truly feel about the matter. Both of you should of also guessed exactly what kind of replies you would get. While what you say might not be considered racism in a very strict definition of the word and you may not see it as offensive in the same sense, it is directing negativity towards a group of people. That group of people just so happens to be part of this community. So unless you really like being at the butt of a lot of criticism and harsh replies (which I often wonder if that's your goal), it's probably best to keep any such statements out of the forums. Ask yourself some simple questions: What purpose does it serve? What are you trying to get out of statements such as these? If the answers to either of those questions can be taken negatively, best to just not say it. Anyway, just my 2 cents. On the topic at hand: While I do truly wish a certain amount of leeway were allowed in contributions to submit what is "in the spirit of the rules and program's goal", I do believe rules are a necessity. If we were too open to free thought, there would be far too much variation in the data we submit which would cut into it's usefulness quite a bit. Not to say following the rules strictly doesn't do the same at times, but the ramifications for completely ditching the rules would be horrible IMHO. I do agree with your sentiments in that there are some inconsistencies in regards to how/when people choose to strictly follow and then stretch rules, but (usually) these are to make for more "useful" data getting in rather than just submitting data for data's sake with no regard for how said data will be used. I applaud those types of inconsistencies as long as they are an improvement and have the program and community in it's best interest. | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire | | | | Last edited: by Vittra |
