While I have no doubts that some people give half truths or maybe even blatant lies, why is it so difficult to believe that someone with leftist thinking might be born of an ethnicity or background which accents that?

It&#39;s not, I was just warning her to take whatever people say about their backgrounds with a pinch of salt because, as you said yourself;


some people give half truths or maybe even blatant lies

What is your ethnicity?
(I quite like this survey, and might fill it out later)

In my personal opinion hardly anyone on Revleft answers this question truthfully, people want to appear cooler than they are, especially the white Americans. :P

"I&#39;m half-Native American and half-Mexican, with a bit of Cuban blood in there as well, oh, and my Grandfather was a communist defector..." :lol: [/b]
You have a point.

lol my background isnt very interesting, my mother left her country because it WAS so called "communist" and thats why she is a republican. She is totally misinformed.

Seriously though, its dumb to lie about ethnicity on a leftist forum. If you dont like what you are you dont have to say it.

Also- to anyone who can answer me- would you recommend that I take out my last name in case some Nazi decides to look me up or something?

Gaelic Football has origins in Celtic history so it hardly "copied" football, they&#39;re totally seperate. Plus, Gaelic football is an amateur sport, not an indulgent £60,000-a-week sport like football. When the Tyrone county team recently won the All-Ireland and were celebrating in a hotel with the supporters a few of the players slipped out amidst the celebrations to train with their club - that&#39;s dedication. http://museum.gaa.ie/

BTW - I actually prefer football, I&#39;m just annoyed that you even tried to compare the two, anyway...I still skin you at football :P
