Thanks for switching from the general northern european to the
specific Norse.

Does he get a toaster for that?

Note the "from those who agreed with such a penalty" part.

You are correct. Any reprisal against this child molester cannot be
done. Well, it can , but the potential rath of the authorities will
probably prevent anything happening to this person.

Mostly because the chances of someone who agreed with such a penalty
have a very low cahnce of making onto the jury. If I ended up on
such a jury I'd do my best to play the nice little boy to get on that
jury.

Because you are a natchel bawn LIAR!

I am aware of the Norse influence on Ireland. We disagree on the
amount of Norse contribution to Ireland.

I've spent time actually on the ground looking at Norse remains. I
lived for 12 months in exactly the area that Norsemen lived in 1000
years ago. I've been to Tolka Wood where Brian Boru camped the night
before the Battle of Clontarf 1014, I've been to Clontarf itself.

I was lined up to be the assistant manager at the "Dublin Viking
Adventure" until the Dublin Corporation, in its infinite wisdom (not!)
closed it down. I've given lectures in Dublin on Viking Dublin.

I feel that the Norse were a minor affect.

There are still Norse words in modern Irish Gaelic, for example,
"Bord" for table, "Gard" for policeman, "Ruin" for secret...and
more...

Ooow the invader is so proud.

Nik,
I am aware of the Norse influence on Ireland. We disagree on the
amount of Norse contribution to Ireland. I feel that the Norse were a
minor affect. The issue seems to be what is the definition of "minor
affect" or "major affect". The definitions would depend on the
individual person.

I would have thought that would be settled by a genetic analysis.

Cultural impact is not the same thing as genetic impact.

so important to you nazis, isn;t it?
