Merkel Is Getting Me All Hot And Bothered

This is happening across Europe though, it isn't unique to former client states.

Each case is different but obviously I am of talking about former or current colonies/client states. And you couldnt compare say people in England in the 1910s to a person in Ireland in even the 1960's. Yes people had it tough in England but people in ireland grew up with no hope thats a big difference.

Learned helplessness was a significant factor in the Irish mindset and it is only really really changing now.

I presume your father was born in free Ireland. Does he have any fear of the Empire?

Yes but he was raised in a culture of resistance and of the fear of freedom being snatched away, however any children born to say myself will have no need of either resistance or continually having to stand on there hind legs watching out for eagles like a prarie dog. Also the last of the Resistance Generation has passed away now and since they formed our state there institutions shaped there children.

But now there grandchildren run the state and they have differing atitudes and institutions.
