    He was Carthaginian, not Phoenician, so that's like calling Pancho Villa Spanish.

    Heh, that's why I didn't say it. I guessed there'd be at least one French guy on the forum. It's a mildy amusing stereotype, as long as you don't take it to seriously, like the Scots being miserly, the English posh and Irish like me being lucky drunks. Also, for evidence that it's untrue, look at Napoleon.

    The Spartans. But in all seriousness, simmer down, lobf. You're completely overreacting...

    Tee hee. I'm not angry or anything. Celtic Punk is just annoying with his Irish fetish.

    Ireland is not special is all I'm saying.

    Oh, I'm sure that you have a fetish or two that we might find risible.

    Certainly nothing I'd talk about on a history forum.
