Static Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Dude, a little advice. 1. People aren't patient enough to set up an organized debate. You're best off posting the topic and letting people go off about it. 2. I've never heard of Cornwall before, I don't know how many people are familiar with the topic at hand, but you might be disappointed at how many people actually want to debate it.

Frunk Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 This thread doesn't make any sense. Those from Great Britain will either distinguish themselves as English, Scottish or Welsh, depending on which of those three countries that make up Great Britain (and usually promote themselves as the United Kingdom, thus including Northern Ireland) they are from - just like any one else from any other part of the world would. British Overseas Territories, for example Gibraltar on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula (the location of Spain and Portugal), are geographically distant from the countries of Great Britain and Northern Island, of which they are subjects. Therefore, they typically have their own demonyns that they class themselves by. Cornwall, on the other hand - a county (not country) located on the South-Western tip of England (and therefore Britain), is certainly not it's own nation by any means, irrespective of its language and culture. As far as I am aware, there is no push from the Cornish to be recognised as their own nation (but rather simply for the Cornish ethnic group to receive more rights in the UK), let alone split from the UK like the Republic of Ireland. After 2000 years of conflict, the statuses of Great Britain and Ireland are fixed ideas, thus very little is to change in the future. I have no idea if there is much of a mentality in the UK to distinguish oneself by the locality they were born or raised in, or live in now, which would explain your reference to Cornwall, but irrespective, I still fail to see the point of this thread, or at least why it is in Debates.

Cyber Altair Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 In my opinion Nationality and Patriotism and anything beyond loving the land you were RAISED in is reallu dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
