Yeah but proud Cornish celts or oppressive English settlers that took away our proud Parliament* and nation?






*actually, the Cornish Parliament, that at one point was co-equal to Westminster and had the right to ignore any law from London, just simply forgot to reconvene one year and has since been forgotten

I laugh at Pattycakes revision of Greek ancestry.

hey Che, that report doesnt say anything about a Jew gene. it just says that the people are related. lets take group X ok? and lets say that all have the same religion Y. and lets say that they dont intermarry and stay within the group. Does that mean the religion Y is now an ethnicity? christianity is the same, except that not only did group X adapt it, but so did group A, B, C, D, thus making it a religion and not an ethnicity.

Lawrence: it's a moot point. Ethnicity has often little to do with nationality.
