Give it a rest, you are becoming very tedious.

So, the English invented the famine to exterminate the Irish people? many thousands of Protestants died in the famine.

That so called holocaust as you call it... why did the British Government set up soup kitchens to help and feed the Irish people? once again your ant-English bias is here for all to see.

But hey, I'm not ethnic Irish

Grow up Manolon, you are becoming pathetic with your anti English bull****.

One word for you.

Armada

Even the Native Irish joined in and killed your fellow countrymen

You probably don't realize what a racial slur that is in English-speaking society. It's not funny.

After having read the entire thread, I find that I must quote my two favorite tee shirts:

Department of Homeland Security
Fighting Terrorism since 1492

Wow...nobody will be able to make a comeback to that one. (And so original, too!)

It is ironic that the fellows depicted on the most common iteration of that 'Homeland Security' T-shirt are Geronimo and his men-at-arms who were just a few generations removed from their ancestors who swept into the region of the American Southwest from Canada. I doubt they arrived in the Southwest and humbly asked the Puebloans and Plains peoples they encountered if it might be alright if they settled around the area.

Well unlike Indian patriots like Tecumseh, Black Hawk and Cochise ole Geronimo and his men were more along the lines of a brigand and his gang. Kind of an Indian version of Captain Mason and the Harpes. Or John Dillinger.
