Not wanting to have hundreds of years of History, Culture, Traditions and Language repressed and discarded, is being extreme? Actually wanting Wales to be a true part of the UK instead of being seen as just another part of England, is extreme? Wanting Wales to be seen as a part of Europe instead of being seen as Englands lapdog, is extreme? If that is the case then yes I am extreme.Westaway said:
It is ok for all the Engliah here you are the ones in control, you are the ones who decide what History, Culture, Traditions and Languages are saved and what are discarded, you do not know what it is like to feel like a second class citizen just because you do not belong to the ruling English majority.
Once again, taking things out of context then repeating previous arguments. I clearly said that there's nothing wrong with patriotism. You are extremist in the sense that you come across as a Welsh supremist. You also blindly spew out insults to average English who are obviously not making executive decisions regarding what cultures are "repressed" and "dismissed". Why would the English even DO that? To be dicks? Who thought up the whole "Let's repress the Welsh because we're an evil imperialist country"? I think you did.Madcat75 said:
And you know what? I'M NOT EVEN ENGLISH. I'm CANADIAN. I just chose the opposite side because none of your statements makes sense or are presented well, and you're just generally being passive aggressive and misunderstanding things on purpose.
English dude here, you guys claim to be under the oppersion of the english yet you still get free uni educations and alot of other welsh only benefits which still come from the UK as a whole and thus from my taxes...
Anyways to be blunt i don't give a bollacks and neither should you ^^ just get on with things why worry about it? what would it achieve : / as someone already said were alot stronger united than seperated.
Also its free to drive out of whales but not into! this is madness. Although as a welsh comedian put it, "we put the fine entering whales so when some of us leave were to cheap to pay the toll back and get stuck in england thins the heard" or something to that effect.
But yeah long story short, just get on with your day im sure there are far more entertaining things to do than go on a crusade.
Oh also what is your political partys stand point on migrant workers and immigrants? or is it welsh jobs for welsh people?
As right now reading your hate spewing bile you seem like the biggoted BNP in England.
Also you guys get free prescriptions to boot! something else we have to pay for in the UK. You say you have no say in goverment yet you have vastly different systems to england yet we still pay for it

Faroe islands are the slaves of denmark pretty much (really just joking hereMadcat75 said:
) check those boyos out, oddly enough they are closer to scotland than denmark but they are still ruled by them.Also as injustice from one country to another goes i would advise taking a look at Tibet.
Being from Northern Ireland, I wonder if I'm included in this at all? =P
To answer you're question, Im entitled to get a British passport or an Irish one and I have the latter. I have had a British one before and in my experience, people in airports are nicer to you when they know you're Irish, and people in general get excited to find out you're from Ireland. So Id always call myself Irish rather than British.

I'm Scottish and like being called Scottish. I love the countryside and the wet weather.
And our history is fantastic, both pre and post union.
But I'm not bothered if someone were to call me British, because they are technically right.
If I go on holiday it's within the Britain anyway, so not much need for a passport.

The only time I refer to myself as English is when someone else specificaly uses the word first. Most of my German friends think of me as "English", which makes sense given that is the name of the Language, so I call myself that when talking to them, but prefer British usually. (Plus the word "English" is slightly easier to say in German)
