Well I certainly don't go around calling myself a Scotsman.

That's because you're No True Scotsman.  :D

:rolleyes:  He's of Syrian heritage and ethnically identifies as Syrian.  I suppose I could type out "Syrian-American" to please pedantic goofballs such as yourself, but I'll just stick with "Syrian" for short.

Ok, you use language loosely.  How people who dont know your family history should be expected to know that "my Syrian uncle" really means my American uncle is a bit puzzling but ok.  I found it strange that you had a Syrian uncle and assumed that one of your aunts married a Syrian.

Again, sorry for not understanding that by Syrian you meant American.

I'm not really interested in discussing this with you anymore.  Go pick a fight with grumbler if you're that bored.

I'm still with Tim. I don't know why we care.

Yes, but that's your answer to everything.

Well, except the "still with Tim" part.  ;)

Wow, Hillary didn't make the cut??

The list wasn't exhaustive. I also felt that one has been done to death. :)

I asked my Syrian uncle over the weekend to for his thoughts on the situation in Syria:  he still doesn't give a shit.
And you felt the need to tell us he's a bad person, why?

:huh:

Timmay doesn't have what we call the 'social skills'.
On the internet they're not required. :)

I would never make such a comment in real life.

Well, yeah, 'cause in real life you got no one to talk to.
