From: Adrian on 21 Aug 2006 05:40 Ivor Jones (ivor(a)despammed.invalid) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : >> Why should anyone not call you what you are? Do you >> object to being called a man? > Nobody is calling me what I am, that is the whole point. They are calling you what you *have already accepted you are*. A national of a European country, and - by a very simple progression - therefore a European. You just refuse to accept this immutable fact. If this is because of a political preference to not be a part of the European Union, then perhaps you'd prefer to go back to the "good old days" whereby any visit across the channel required the amounts of foreign currency taken and returned to be entered in your passport, duties to be levied on all goods and services imported and exported, and all nationals of other countries to have to register with police stations regularly?

I have actually done so, but you : refuse to accept it, in exactly the same way I refuse to accept being : called a European. What is your definition of the word "European", as a matter of interest?

Just because you don't want to be European doesn't mean you aren't one. If I said you had two legs and you claimed you had three, then you would still have two legs. You don't get to choose.
