News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

ethnicity is very fluid. The genes and culturization are two different things.

This may have been the case with Copernik. In any case, I doubt there was such a strong sense of what country you were from back then. Nationalism is a fairly modern thing.

Those are good points you made SS, but it won't stop the "boys" from wrestling over it! :) hehe

It isn't him. Lukasz is busy gathering a crusade together to march into Germany....

Nah.....I don't think so.
He's addicted to this place even when it gets the best of him.
And he has a fascination with adopting other personas!
Freud would have a field day with him.

Okay....WHO can we fight over next?

What ?

You sound like another poster Lukasz.....who likes to make a dramatic production about leaving the forum and then pops up a few days later with a new name. :) Don't cha?

Come out of your candy wrapper Luki!

I think there are two sets of values here.

One is place of birth.

Two is family lineage.

For those who find place of birth to be the most important...he would be Polish.

For those who find lineage (ancestry) most important, he would be German.

Us poor Ammies.....that just leaves us with lineage!

PF is going through another "full moon phase".
People are behaving a little oddly, and tempers are short.

Patti has just made Southern hall monitor for sexual innuendo in PF.

Something like this could only happen during a full moon :)

Somebody get Sobottka a new straight jacket please. He keeps wriggling loose of the old one.

:)

(mini stab at an Omni) hehe

Rule 3 of being a man states "If all else fails, open the manual"

hehe...that sounds like me.

my god I hate reading manuals...."just play around a bit and see what happens", that's MY motto :)

although Shopgirl posted some links stating that Germans are one of the worst lovers in the world, followed by almost all other nations.

Huh? Nope, that was "Georgian" a male poster! And why would he know? hehe

I'm a Berliner (and that is no sausage at all) but I fear nobody would take me seriously when I would name myself after that:

Ahh! But BB you are just as sweet, if not sweeter than a Berliner! Yummy! *smiles adoringly at Bratski*

Very good, miranda.

It would frighten the life out of me, if I had to write the Omnibus Edition.

That was good!
Pan Pie, it seems you've got a new member for the editorial staff! :)

Wroclaw, it would frighten any of us to have to write the Omnibus.....it would require slogging through posts we would rather not read! ;)
