Re: Total War


Vandermok: Hoping that 'darkiexx' do not be shocked at the fact my
eyes are not 'ice blue' but only green/grey.

Snap!! Sir, I also have green eyes and grey hair … I also have a red
beard, something which is frond upon around the Mediterranean and in
France, a Rouquin, I believe, something akin to having the evil eye…

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux_(couleur)

Dans de nombreuses cultures, les roux ont longtemps été considérés
avec méfiance voire détestés. Dès l'antiquité, chez les grecs, les
bébés roux étaient tués dès leur naissance, car leurs cheveux, qui
faisaient penser au flammes de l'enfer, étaient signe de
malédiction.

In many cultures, the red heads were considered for a long time with
mistrust even hated… And from antiquity, amongst the Greeks, red-
headed babies were killed from birth due to their hair colour. As
this made them think of the flames of hell, in other words it was
sign of a curse.

Au moyen-âge, ils étaient le signe de lien ou de commerce avec le
diable, ainsi que de sorcellerie. Croiser un roux effrayait, car
nombreux pensaient également qu'il s'agissait d'un loup-garou.

As of the Middle Ages, they (red heads) were the sign of trade with
the devil, as well as sorcery. To cross the path of a red haired
person frightened many as people thought it was an indicator of a
werewolf.

Whilst in contrast, in the present Celtic countries it is quite
accepted to have red hair, however it is deemed as being a trait of
irrationality or hot tempered.

Within group racism is a common feature of European life.
Personally, I have not a problem with brown eyes, just big noses…
