... not blindly having a gay-ole-time drinkin' green beer to a "saint" we know nothing about and peeling ourselves off the floor the next day

Speak for yourself!! :drunken:

As an offspring of Hungarian gypsy jews on one side and a mutt mix of some sort of Brit/ Choctaw Indian mess on the other, I find the whole situation worthy of a good falling down drunk, as there's no other reasonable solution to the issue. In a couple of hundred more years everyone will be displaced all over again anyhow.....

...yes, but as I stated, we're not blindly doing this. Whether or not we choose to go blurry and do it anyway, all things considered, that's another story. :lol: Ah, the power of active decisions! 8)

As for my history Jeff since you don't like 'red herring'
Feel free to pm me your number and we can discuss the situation.
I assure you that my knowledge of the situation is far broader and deeper than you are interested in hearing.
I didn't ******* you, you assholed me.


Gumball. The British changed the world, like every other dynasty before them.
The United States IS an extension of that Empire, it would be easy to say a continuation of that empire much the way Byzantium Empire was an extension of the Roman Empire. I'm not anti-British by any means. I just think in this particular instance they are wrong. Had they assimilated the populace, or even granted pseudo citizenship the whole thing would be different. But they didn't.

I think it odd that Americans think of the Founding Fathers who were British Colonist as freedom fighters an yet think of Native Gaels as Terrorist.

There's got to be a member of this forum from Ireland, somebody please help this guy. I really don't want to talk on the phone with you. I already know what it will be like based on your inability to avoid resorting to swearing and name calling. At this point I don't care about your history, just as I am reasonably sure you don't care about mine; and I have a suspicion that it would involve a lot of "my great, great something or other experienced such and such". So, have fun tonight eating your corned beef(which you can thank the jews for, not the irish), re-reading Ulysses, drinking Shamrock Shakes, or however you want to observe the 17th.

Me? My plans? Well, since you asked. Every year for St. Patrick's day I like to build a scaled down version of Nelsons Column and then I blow it up. I'm done. I think I'll go smoke my pipe now.

 

[puros_bran]

And you show your ignorance once again as I have stated on many occasions I am not Irish, I am American. But considering you only come around once every few months to voice your opinion or attempt to steal forum members I wouldn't expect you to know what has or has not occurred here.

So go enjoy your smoke and your models.

 

[puros_bran]

And I resort to name calling? No I just call a spade a spade and you are defiantly a spade.

Has it been your experience that people think that way? It's quite the opposite here...I suspect thats a function of the high Irish population. When I used to work in town I used to see IRA graffiti everywhere.

 

[puros_bran]

It's a matter of location and 'religion'.
Plus most hill folk try to pretend to be Scotish. Lol
Well Scotish and Indian.

Nice trio. The guy singing the main line sounds very much like me. It's weird. And no, I'm not kidding or being a weird.

everyone throughout history has been boned one way or another,,,injustice [ perceived or real ] is a mainstay of regional unity.

everyone gets to be outraged about their own particular historical debacle and cry in their beer. those are the rules.

Yesterday I was nowhere near the forums, or for that matter, a fake Irish pub and glad of it. The Irish 3/8ths in me often gets drawn into arguments such as these, and I get damn tired of explaining to the ignorant masses why I'm wearing orange instead of green. Now I just wear this shirt and a "pog mo thoin" look on my face and wait for the day to be over...

 

[Kyle Weiss]

That shirt has a naughty word. :affraid:

[puros_bran]

you don't have to explain your Orange George....
I don't have to agree with you to understand your position.

So does the post, but you'd need to know a bit of Gaelic to spot it.

The "V" is for "Victory!" :cheers:

There's no "V" in the Gaelic alphabet. "Pog mo thoin," pronounced and sometimes spelled "Pouge Mahone", is not exactly an Irish blessing.

I meant the one in the picture. 8) I don't know squat about Gaelic.

 

[George Kaplan]

You do now. :twisted:
