I want the votes to be public but I can't go back and edit the poll part of this, can an administrator help me out here?

**Fox** · 03-30-2005, 02:00 PM

You should add Australia in there...we're being overrun by aussies

**40sondacurb** · 03-30-2005, 02:01 PM

call an aussie english and you need to duck fast,even if they are new australians
it is like waving a red rag at a bull

**Fox** · 03-30-2005, 02:57 PM

I'm German, Irish, and Italian. My bro seems to have inherited mostly Italianness while I got the "other" style of Irish (the brown haired one) from my mom.

you guys came to a country that wasn't yours, set up shop, and killed or raped the natives? sounds pretty british to me.

what do you guys got to complain about? you got a whole contenent named after you, england can't say that for it's self and niether can the USA (we call our selves americans but tecnicaly the proper way to say where your from if you from the US is by state). sure you got to share it with new zland but who lives there sheep?

**40sondacurb** · 03-30-2005, 03:12 PM

thinkng back I probably should have put australia instead of Japan.

there just arent that many japanese

**Fox** · 03-30-2005, 03:15 PM

I added australian for you, I hope you dont mind.

**40sondacurb** · 03-30-2005, 03:22 PM

thanks, did you make the votes public?

**superflysmith** · 03-30-2005, 03:25 PM

English, German, Irish, Austrian, American Indian, and a few others I forgot about.

**Fox** · 03-30-2005, 04:09 PM

Make the votes public? As in everyone can see who voted for what?

I'm not sure if the poll was to start, but I didn't change anything except for adding the australian option.

**DumberDrummer** · 03-30-2005, 07:26 PM

1/8th Swedish,

Some of my ancestors came on the mayflower,

Part scottish??? (Henry Morgan was my great great great great oh so great something)

Definitely some Irish blood here, and several other European countries.

A smidge of Italian, I'm sure.

**kodi** · 03-30-2005, 07:29 PM

Thanks FOX , we are used to being forgotten down here,

**40sondacurb** · 03-30-2005, 11:09 PM

please take off the other not named catagory, I expressed interest in adding the australian poll to fox but not in a, "duuhh I don't know" catagory.

if you don't know any of your roots then shame on you, geneticaly we all trace back to africa any ways so I'd rather have a "original genetic oragin Africa" catagory than a "I have no clue of my history, the accomlpishments of my ancestors means absolutely nothing to me" catagory.

of course the above paragraoh only aplies if you belive in evolution. So it doesn't apply to bry and a couple others on the W. side of the little noe-con debate we had a little while ago

and also It realy isn't that hard to find where your family came from, a simple call to your mother or father will do the trick. I don't like cop outs and I don't wish for there to be one on a thread that I am named for starting.

but thanks for the idea tech, it was real thoughtful

**blackduck30** · 03-30-2005, 11:22 PM

Thanks for the aussie section 40sondacurb, I would have felt like a misfit in the brit section

**40sondacurb** · 03-30-2005, 11:24 PM

thanlk fox, he did the admin assist

**JeremyC** · 03-30-2005, 11:46 PM

I forgot my Nataive American part of me. eh, im a super american mutt.
