Message to all Arseholes: It's not ok to dominate the comments section with your petty arguments, do it through private messages.

He should check out the page: What is British citizenship?

Then: Who already has British citizenship?

Then: Who is a British overseas territories citizen? (To correct himself on the citizenship of Gibraltarians and Falklanders).

Meh ha. He should just then apply for Irish citizenship, I'm pretty sure the Irish government extends a welcome to all Northern Irish applicants as per their agreement with the British.

[UnitedKingdomify]

You guys still at it? People from Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, are British citizens. naryanr is just a complete frcikin' idiot he doesn't even know he's a British citizen.

He should check the Home Office website for information on British citizenship. That is if they give him access to a computer before his meds are due.

@Ionlyfearphobophobia Again you ask irrelevant questions. That's NOT the point. The point is, is there mass disagreement on Ireland being British? The answer is NO.

It's name is irrelevant here.

Some people think it's not the name because it's not representative of what it is, and *almost all* the people who think the name IS OK, say so because the phrase "The British Isles" doesn't make you "British" anyway.

You can change the subject all you want but it'll not get you anywhere.

@naryanr Is there mass disagreement on the name of the British isles? Yes or no.

[naryanr]

@Ionlyfearphobophobia Yeah you made it up because you can't stand the idea of being wrong. You're the first person I've ever heard say something as stupid as Ireland is British, and most of my friends live in England.

But I see from your desperately weak, cornered offensive stance that you've truly exhausted your intellect bank on this one. Not good for much other than insults any more, and even the insults are second rate.

[Ionlyfearphobophobia]

@naryanr ....... It's not controversial! SO THERE ISN'T MASS DISAGREEMENT ON THIS? Your either one of two things, a bigot, or just a fucking idiot.

[naryanr]

@SheIsntReal94 You're not British man, our argument's essentially over and he's wrong he just won't admit it.  He's pushing for "agree to disagree".

You're not British legally, politically or geographically.

His own queen and government couldn't call you British even if you asked them to.
