It's still a fictionalization. :x So there. It's obviously done in compensation for something.

Wow, lol. All my talk about what I have in me started everyone else. Though I only know about those three and black is the most dominant I could have more since I sort of believe that everyone are related by at least one person.

Because Adam and Eve had to have had kids who fucked each other then fucked each some more until they had more of a varity of people to fuck until families started to branch off into different directions and grew different in small ways each generation.

But thats just me :].

Doesn't make Napoleon any less of a badass.


Frosty, Napoleon conquered more shit than you'll ever hope to. And just because all the other examples are fictitious, doesn't mean they're not badasses.

Actually, you guys, Napoleon wasn't French. He was Corsican, a Frenchman only by the technicality of Corsica having been annexed by France shortly before his birth. His first language was Italian.

I was born in Germany and was beginning to pick up German before I moved to America, but I still consider myself an American.

That would be a valid argument to call yourself American. I haven't read any biographies in depth about Napoleon, but I understand that he was always the outsider, considered a second class citizen, when he was young, because he was not born on traditional French soil. You, I imagine, are not so rejected.

So because he was a social outcast that makes him not French?

It depends on what he considered himself. I imagine he did consider himself French later in life, but who knows how he might have felt early on when he was younger. I got the impression that he was only French because his home island was annexed, and not because he and his family actually wanted to move to France and become French citizens. You, on the other hand, actively moved to the United States. It sorta depends on your perspective, I guess.

Yeah I guess. I looked up his wiki article and it says he was actually a part of Italian nobility far down the line. So lineage Italian, nationality French. I suppose perspective is everything.

o O Neither do I, I was just showing an example of how everyone can be related. I had an argument with a lot of christians at my school about it, they couldn't explain themselves xD

A big thousand year old book can tell you anything, doesn't mean what it says is true. =P

Heh, I was just fishing for a reaction from the other members. I don't know who but I know there are christians on this forum.

not all christians believe in adam and eve you know.
actually, most christians i know take the almost whole book metaphorically, rather than literally.

Very true, but not all christians do that. I try to be a christian, but there are times when I fail. I mean I know some people who are christians and they take the entire bible literally.

I really can't imagine holding a belief set and picking and choosing what to believe and what not to believe. If I went back to Christianity I would be pretty hardcore.

Well it's pretty true. I went to a church where they didn't a part of the bible. I asked why and they wouldn't say why, so I quit going to that one.
