Very Cool. On history, did you know that when the Romans conquered Icenia (Britain) the Legionnaires they stationed there were from Syria.
It was customary Roman practise’s to raise Legions from conquered lands and then post them the furthest point from their homeland within the empire.
For over 400 years Legionnaires from Syria were mixing their blood with the Icenians (British),
Thats why even today Brits look darker than the Scandinavians and Germans.
Also, did you know that the Jewish Wailing Wall is in fact a wall of a Roman Fort. Sure to interest Moopsy.
Icenia was Norfolk, east Anglia. England was composed of many little kingdoms.
I hadn't heard of the Syrians before, but I doubt they would have affected the British skin color. There were hordes of invaders after the romans and before the Normans.
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'
This is what excessive chardonnay socialism does. It's scary that there's so many out there.
This is a total Falacy. It is propaganda started by the same people who are now buying up the country at fire sale prices in order to remove any international sympathy and perpetuated by ignorant idiots like you.
The Greeks have been a hardworking people much so more than many nations including Australians and Germans.

But as a country they are also a nation of tax dodgers.
Yeah they were dodgy as hell. I'm not saying the right wingers banker types weren't corrupt too.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.
You're talking celtic there. Who goes out of their way to pay tax?
I sure don't. But there's a big difference between tax planning and illegal tax evasion.

Damn right they were corrupt. And the corruption of the country's elite (bankers, politicians, etc) is a big part of the reason everyone else dodges tax too. Why wouldn't you when that's what the country's leaders are doing?

The evidence from recent DNA tests is forcing alot of Scholars in the UK to re assess what constituents the ancestry of a Britain.
The notion that the English are descended from Anglo-Saxons, who invaded eastern England after the Romans left, while most of the people in the rest of the British Isles derive from indigenous Celtic ancestors with a sprinkling of Viking blood around the fringes, is now being openly challenged.
In fact, many scholars are claiming this is a myth.
38.9% of Y-chromosome lineages in the North Welsh town of Abergele were found to belong to North African-specific haplogroup 21.
There clearly was found the presence of a non-European Mediterranean element in the aboriginal populations of Britain.
And contrary to the notion that this population was largely wiped out by the Anglo-Saxons, this finding is being discovered in many other parts of Britain as the latest DNA testing is applied.
The current cultural story doesn't fit the new evidence. Much to the chagrin of many no doubt.
Yet its common knowledge for those who study Roman history that primarily Syrian Legionnaires held the fort in Britain, and no doubt the latest DNA testing supports this.
Here is a sample of some famous Brits. It is self evident that the British people are not as white as the Scandinavians or Germans.
I find Scandies to be very white, too white for my liking.
It takes very subtle features and nuances for it to look terribly good to me.
I prefer brunettes. :pop:

The racial debate here is getting as dumb as the 19th century one. And appearance can be deceiving. As for blonde hair it wasn't that uncommon in Southern Europe and even occurred in North Africa in Classical times. Grave finds indicate up to a third of Classical Greeks had blond hair. It still appears because the recessive gene remains present. For that matter blonde hair is a recessive gene found in Australoids and Melanesians.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
