But you never will be in my position, Donal.

Correct.


You're Irish, I recall?

Your recollection is correct.

And you're living in England, a refugee from your homeland surrounded
by the very people who opressed your country for hundreds of years.

I admire your courage! If I had your ignorance I'd be afraid to display it
in public.

Don't be so modest! You've proven many times that ignorance has not
deterred you from posting here.

If you knew anything at all about history, then you would know that the
people who surround me were as oppressed as the Irish were.

I do seem to be missing that bit of history. Can you point me to
reference material showing that the native Irish invaded, conquered and
confiscated most/all of the land comprising England any time in the
last thousand years or so? That they created landholdings, nobility,
built castles and treated the natural resources as their own?

No, I didn't think you could. Therefore my point stands and you're
trying to slide off - again.

Coffin boats
sailed from England and Wales, as well as Ireland.

Also, if you knew anything at all about the Internet, then you'd be able to
figure out that I don't occupy a subservient position here.

Ah, sorry, didn't realise you were the Queen of England posting via a
sockpuppet. My apologies, your Highness. How are your corgies?

That's sad. How do you cope with living and working with your
opressors, those who stole the land from your ancestors?

If you knew anything at all about history, then you would realise that most
of the English were as oppressed as the Irish. It wasn't about
nationality - it was about social standing.

Irrelevant. We also seem to have strayed from the original point, but
that's standard with you it seems. To recap, you seem to think that I
am the possessor of stolen wealth in the form of land in Australia. At
the same time, you are benefiting from the country that oppressed and
exploited your fellow countrymen, but seem to feel no shame. Shrug.

Or were you
one of the Irish who sold their birthright to their English masters and
became their running dogs? I suppose that might explain why you, as an
Irishman, doesn't live in Ireland.

.... And you don't live in England because your ancestor was a
criminal??????

Alas, I can't claim that distinction. Keep guessing. The answer is
amusing.

Can I take your lack of denial to the above as a tacit admission that
perhaps I've hit a little too close to the mark? Pity if so - hypocrisy
is always so interesting to dissect.




I should have realised that I was ethnically inferior to you.

Are you? How do you work that out?

You sound superior. You seem to be very intelligent, and I'm Irish.

Keep working on that inferiority complex, lad. Your seemingly innate
racism/ethnic issues could do with some exorcising as well.



BTW how do you cope with intelligent ******s?

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. Same way I cope with the small fraction of the
population of any race smarter than me, of course. I pick their brains
for good ideas.

Brilliant answer! You really believe that only a "small fraction" of the
native Australian population could be smarter than you!!!

No need to limit it to the Australian population, Donal.


How do you cope with women who are more intelligent than you?


I employ them.

What do you do with them?

The first one I met, I married. That was 29 years ago now. The second
one is the godmother of my 2 daughters. The others - 2 of them I go
sailing with quite regularly. You see, I don't need to establish a
dominant power position (for example, employer-employee) to feel
comfortable in the company of women smarter than myself. I'm sad for
you that you can't say the same.
