Am I the only one who does not give a shit about where my ancestors are from?
No, I couldn't give a damn where your ancestors are from.
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

So long as your ancestors are not my ancestors


Oh here is the only famous ancestor I know of

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Oh hell, something like a third
of European stock can trace back
to Charlemagne.  Try harder.

Much less, to the Merovignians.

I'd imagine that most white Americans are a conglomerate of just about everything European.  My ancestors have been here since colonial times, plenty of time to mix it all up.

I went to a Scottish festival a couple months ago and was impressed enough to wish I had some Scottish heritage.  I mentioned the event to relatives during my Christmas trip, and it turns out there's some Scottish on my mother's side of the family.  (Her maiden name is one of those Scottish names that's had the "Mc" taken off the beginning and its spelling slightly changed.  I didn't even notice that until it was pointed out to me.)

Maybe they can and maybe they can't, How does this disparage the point I made that my Mother's Grandfather was Sir George Foster Pearce? What has that got to do with who can trace their family origin to Charlemagne? In fact I have no idea what the fuck you are on about maybe you are best explaining it to us (that are beneath your notice) ,we may be educated....and if not, at least enjoy a bit of a laugh at your efforts to do so.

My husband's father traced their ancestry back to William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy and King of England.

Oh in that case I have absolutely no grounds to argue without being the biggest hypocrite in I2. I actually don't remember writing this comment which means I was probably on the turps myself. Don't mind me.
