    Default Irish-American realtions

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPPujLdtvu0

    This video has restored my faith in humanity
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Oh I knew that about the ancestry stuff it's like they prefer to concentrate on the one Irish great great granny instead of the several germans, poles etc etc

    But what does that have to do with minty flavoured milkshakes which several youtube video's assure me is the bomb apparently

    There is no one as Irish as Barrack O'Bama

    Lol in some places, I know down here in Texas German/Czech/Polak/Mexican sentiminet is very strong (Esp. German and Mexican)

    I've been to 10 different oktoberfest and never even set foot in Europe.

    Makes me laugh and then cry. And then realize its going to be ok because by this time Im very drunk

    I still don't think you can beat the Itals when it comes to "people who really wish they were back in Europe". Those guys try hard

    you don't get it?

    It's just one of the Irish traditions we kept going in the new country, like putting green food coloring in our bud lite on St. Patrick's day.

    Actually, most yanks are mutts. Pretty much the antithesis of eugenics.

    Actually, almost everyone with European history is descended from Charlemagne.

    Except the English!

    No, seriously though, you're probably right. I know we have some Norman blood in the family; they were second cousins. When she died Great Great Great Grandfather had a window dedicated to her in the local Church.

    Iv also heard that about the Khan. That man puts Qaqmire to shame.

    I identify with being of german ancestry, simply because of my blond hair and blue eyes (And my strange attraction to the big german ladies at the winter olympics, it has to be in my genes theres just no other logical explanation!)

    I have a thing for European women, I am not sure why. I generally just prefer them over the British locals.

    For example, out of everyone in one of my lectures, it is the Belgian girl I am most interested in. Then there are two other girls, one swedish, the other from latvia, they both have the sexiest voices and accents, I could fall asleep happy listening to them, even if they were moaning about me doing the lack of housework. Then there are the dutch women, who are very playful and silly...

    In short - Everywhere seems better than British women, except for European counterpart females who act just the same as British females, they are just as bad, cute accents or not.
