As predicted, total Staines contribution to the thread: ZERO.

I would suggest you do some research. Australian aborigenes are indeed classified as part of the
Caucasian race. Now why did that upset you? Didn't like to be bracketed there?

Well, yes, I am pigment deficient. You may describe me as white. But not totally North-European
white. My pigmentation is probably more like that of a person who called Jose who lives in Spain.
Isn't it amazing how far north the Spanish conquest went in medieval Europe. I think they left some
of their seed in my family 4 or 500 years ago.

There you go. A wonderful attempt at a put-down. It actually made me smile.

Wonderful! You got it?

Damn it, for just a second I thought you saw the point of my post. Oh well.

Cheers

I'd always thought Peter was an Asian female.

I would suggest you pick up a real book instead of reading pop magazines for your information.
You're still spouting from your bum.

Uh? Can you try to make sense at least?

Hint: no one cares about your particulars. You missed the point yet again. Look beyond your own
little world, and instead of centering everything around you, concentrate on what the issue of the
thread has been all about. Your defensive stance on everything but the issue precludes any
understanding of anything except justification of your shoulder chips.

using phrases like "anal retentive" in place of credible arguments? You can recognise that, at
least. There may be hope for you, but I'm still sceptical.

Indeed I did, but you obviously didn't.

Oh, I got it. I wasted time responding to your post, thinking you had the ability to understand
what the issue was about. Instead I saw a lot of whining, self-justification of entrenched
behaviour consistent with ignorance, poor knowledge, and childish insults showing a particular
fixation with the anus.

Now go join your idiot friends and stand on the corner.
