I wouldn't personally know, but I'd assume it's annoying.
I don't even claim to know my own countries history very well.

Copper: Well I "bumped into" this guy on Gaia online, who in his signature claims he is a celtic viking
so I asked him how that was even possible...
And then he was all like: Duh... when the vikings came to Ireland and raped the Irish people

I didn't even know where to start..
I mean..
1. that's several hundred years ago
2. You're a viking or you're a celt, it's not races, it's tribes >_>
And don't even get me started really >_>

Do we even know the Viking rituals and culture thoroughly enough to have anyone follow them? We know a shitton about Ancient Greeks, but we don't know enough to follow the religion or cultural aspects. Yes, we have people who are Greek, but no one who is an actual GREEK in the meaning of the ancient way of life.
People on Gaia are idiots.

Yes yes they are, and this guy is making himself look more like an idiot by the second, his reply was: Well I didn't study the Danes, I studied the Norse people..

Funny thing is, the Danes back then belonged under the Norse people >_>
Coming from Denmark, I am pretty sure it's mandatory to learn about the Vikings... I know I did almost all the way from 1st to 7th grade >_>

He's most likely doing it for attention. Gaia seems to be filled with attention-whores.
I still have my account, but I haven't really posted in a few years. Mainly due the caliber of people who post there.

Yeahh....
I mostly stick with one hangout, but no one's there so I got bored.
It's dangerous getting bored >_>
And yea it's probably for attention, he even made his avatar wear a horned helmet... which is about the first sign that you don't know anything about vikings *Giggles*

You know maybe I should send some of the Viking enthusiasts at my school after him x3

It's insanely dangerous to get bored on Gaia. I can lead to horrible things... like Towns!!!
Even I know that Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets. And I know very little about Vikings. I prefer the Ancient Greeks.

The Ancient Greeks are quite interesting
I'm just a sucker for mythology and history in general...
'cept War History... I don't find it very interesting at all... You'd have thought Europe would have run out of stupid reason to start wars over eventually... but it took the European Union (EU) or to be more specific an economic dependence to settle things down >_>

I don't enjoy most British history. I prefer the Greek Myths.
They're the only ones that seem interesting to me, but I'm sure I could find more.

yeah there's ton of interesting history and mythology all around the world really x3

Yeah. I tried reading about the real Mulan once, but I just couldn't get into how the story was told.

I actually never really read it..
I liked the cartoon version of The Monkey King though :O

The Monkey King?
o.O
I've never heard of that.

Aww
Well he has some Chinese name that I can't remember, just remember that I saw this Chinese cartoon with the story about it when I was younger, and it was really awesome

I'll have to look it up.
I remember watching some cartoon about a carpenter and a princess or something.

hm that doesn't ring a bell to me at all though D:
