Irish Slavery

[Red XXX]

British Leylands was not the empire's finest moment. The new ones are better quality cars. But I test drove an XF last year and all I could think was, "what a nice Volvo."

Don't bring Volvo into this! Years ago I was told how David Bache the designer of the SD1 Rover, designed the car to be the most advanced family car on the roads but it was designed so monkeys could actually build it. It won European car of the year etc, etc and the Germans went mad for it, what they didn't like was that the dashboard fell to pieces, the paint would wash of in the rain, rain could enter the car the heater wouldn't work and then Leyland delivered right-hand drive cars to them etc, etc - for the American market it was improved but only 500 odd Americans wanted a new car that leaked!

Back on topic...there is a long historical aversion to the Irish.
Here is a classic historical treatise on accepting the Mick presence...

You do realise that without the Irish - Western Civilisation or at least the Catholic church would not exist! It's all Saint Columbas fault

Do we have to take sides? People all around the world can be good or bad, just becauses they are stuck on a small island that's next to another small island next to Europe is no reason to not like them ... it's a lovely country both north and south :drawheart:

Yeah I know you're British. To be honest I didn't read the thread. I thought it was about the Irish being slaves to the British. So when I'm Irish I can be your slave since you're British. :o

You automatically become a slave when you register on freeones, it's in the Terms of Agreement.
Always read the fine print.

All very true. The British (English) did plunder the world and did a lot of bad - as imperialists did.

Alas, history can't be rewritten. We should never forget. But we can't let it ruin our today or the future.

Peace & Love

I'm going to use Doug Stanhope's words here: it's "all dead people's baggage. Quit carrying it. Move forward."

Isn't that what I'm saying?

^ I know that was redundant. I was really tired when I posted that.

Tell that to an Irishman, and he'll buy you a shot of Jamison's.....then kick the shit out of you.

Those who forget the past, are doomed to repeat it...and you sure as hell wouldn't say that about the atrocities committed by the Nazi's, against the Jew's in WWII, would you? I mean, it is in the past.

Do you know the difference between forgetting about the past and letting go of the past? You don't forget about it because you learn from it and never repeat it. But you have to let go of something that you weren't even involved in. Otherwise, do something about U2 (one of them is from England after all, and Bono's parents were an Irish mother and an English father), see what happens.
