> [@Freddy\_the\_Pig](#): > > Yeah, but they compete in the Olympics as “Great Britain”, which might be a significant psychological hindrance. I have to admit, it took me forever to figure out where the “Great Britain” curling teams came from. It wasn’t until I heard them referred to as a medal contender in one Olympics that the penny dropped for me. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Or the benefits of circumcising declawed cats in anti-vaxxer homes. A critical aspect of this is whether the cats in an independent Scotland would be given the right to commit suicide without the intervention of the anti-vaxxers in attempting to keep them clawed and with proper foreskins, or whether the DAMNED ENGLISH™ would intervene at the behest of the barbaric American Running Dogs(arr) to keep them alive for their own sinister reasons. I think we need at least 3 threads from Pjen on this in order to really work it out properly… Maybe 4… ---

yes you are wrong, pjen makes a great deal out of the fact of the English origin living in the Scotland and “reluctantly” becoming a rabid scottish nationalist becuase of the evil conservative party dominance in the England contra the good Left laborism of the Scottish, if I have understood correctly the real motivations. I like following the threads to see the P-ratio, which I have created as the metric to follow. It is the ratio of the number of pjen posts to all other posters in the thread. To fall below 50% is unusual. Like here: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=749623](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=749623) It is impressive, the industry required for this. of 330 posts, 48% are pjen posts. The P-ratio is virtually 1:1 for all other posters. ---
