Chit-Chat: In which we welcome back Shining Raichu from his extended vacation

[Perico]

Nicola and Andrea are both female names o_o

Nope, they both are Italian names for boys. Add to the list "Elia", Italian too. There are lots of Italian names which seem for girls but they're also for boys XD (and others which seem female names but are male only). Of course, I'm speaking of Italy. As far as I know, in UK Nicola is a female name, even Andrea is a female name here in Spain.

I'm welsh.

I love Welsh accent, so I must like your accent haha

 

[Oryx]

If a guy was named Andrea in the US he would be mocked. :x

 

[Gabri]

No one mocks Andrea Pirlo because of his name. Neither does anyone mock Andrea Bocelli. That's just how it is in Italian.

I have yet to know how does a Welsh accent sound.

 

[Username_9138]

I honestly have no idea; just descended from Welsh people. Although I would like to know~ (Somniac got it right btw)

I'd like to know too.
But hey, I think I remember you. Weren't you making a RMXP game named Opal?

 

[Sir Codin]

According to my parents and grandparents, I have mainly Dutch and Scottish in my heritage.

 

[Broken_Arrow]

talking about middle names,i don't have a middle name!!

just my name then father's name and family surname....no middle names o.O

 

[Somniac]

Welsh accents are a trickey thing. For such a small country, theres a huge amount of variation in the welsh accent. My hometown has an entire different accent from where I now live, even though theres only around 30KM distance between them.

For those who are curious; My accent is very similar to Joanna Page's accent, and we share a hometown.

 

[Oryx]

I have like 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Bohemian, and then 1/2 mutt in my ancestry. >_o

 

[Broken_Arrow]

o.O i'm a noble blood pure Egyptian lol

so you have an irish arm Bohemain other arm and Mutt legs?? :3 lolz

 

[Blade_of_darkness]

I am Scots-Irish, since we're talking about ancestry here. I've heard that Scots-Irish have some bad things in their genetic codes, but I'm not sure what they are, if they even do have them...

Woa, I don't remember hearing such an accent. Was kind of difficult to understand what she was saying at first, but then I got most of it right.
But if there's one accent I love, it's the Scottish.

About ancestries, I never really cared about knowing much about mine - but I think I have full Portuguese blood.

Nah, must have me cornfused w/someone else.

But on topic, I've got confusing heritage. I'm mainly Irish, leading with about 35%, then German, which is about 28%. And then I've got a lot of other things sprinkled in, like Dutch (which is really the third biggest) with about 12% and then maybe 5% each for Scottish, Welsh, British and French, and then about 2% Cherokee...the rest is probably German too.

(@Somniac: That's a pretty cool accent there. Here's a cookie.)

 

[Sableye~]

If I remember correctly, I'm English, Dutch, Sioux, and probably more that I don't know about.

Looks like most of us are a bunch of mutts, hmm? {;

 

[Nathan]

@ThatWhiteKid It must have been someone else then :)
On topic, I am 100% myself and I inherited my blood from my veins.

I want to make known I vehemently hate this thread, this particular debate, and both sides of it.

Have a nice day.

 

[Gabri]

So do I.
That thread and any politics/religion related threads.

 

[Sir Codin]

I'm gonna be completely honest with you guys, especially the people participating in that thread...this whole gun control issue is one of the reasons I stopped coming on for a while earlier last year, because everyone posting in it was doing an extremely good job at pissing me off.

Mr. X, I'm not going to lie. When I saw this, I instantly became tempted to buy a handgun and test to see what alternative uses I could find for one.

So far, I have a few ideas for tests:

- Decoration
- Fire Starter (using blanks, of course)
- Paperweight
- Alternative for a hammer
- Sport target shooting (it's like modern day archery)

Sadly, I don't think I'm allowed to own a gun in California due to being prescribed anti-depressants because it's f****** California. So someone else is going to need to do these tests.

I'll get back to you on tests for alternative uses on semi-automatic or automatic weapons.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

Isn't the sniper rifle gun made for hunting considered as murder too? You're murdering an animal :3

 

[Gabri]

I keep away from that guns talk because I'm an European man, living in a place where your Second Amendment doesn't exist. You guys should know what's best for you.
But just to mention - a regular citizen doesn't need an AR15 in their house.

And there's also the problem of no middle ground. There are close to no people looking at both sides of an argument. Either one is all "OMFG second amendment theyre taking our rights away blahblah" or "asadfsa just ban them all they shouldnt even exist". Same thing for other topics. Either you're a die-hard right wing servant of God or you're a crazy scum communist that should be erradicated from Earth. Either you're going to spend the afterlife in heaven for being anti-gay, believing in God, glorifying him and listening to him and not science or you're a Satanist science man that will burn in Hell for all eternity.

That's why I stay away from the discussions in OC.
My final words about these subjects.
