"Braveheart"

Let's not forget that they did the battle of Stirling Bridge without the bridge.

Iranians really need to understand that most Americans can't even find Iran on a map ... let alone Persia (clue for most Yanks -- it's not there anymore). Isn't Farsi a brand name for binoculars? Spartans are a bit vague, but most women I've known are intimately familiar with Trojans! :D

Looks like you're not telling the truth again.

Irish aren't celts theyre Gaelic
:roll:
the celts came from Europe Lee
not ireland
we don't need tar and feathers
but maybe a little knowledge might help
besides which
that wasn't a criticism of the peoples themselves but the way that they are depicted in hollywood

and need I remind you thats this the third time now youve accused me of being dishonest and the third time you've been wrong
:lol:
