is that they also seemed to think it was kind of glamorous.


They are a bit simple, aren't they?

They are probably not much more intelligent than the average Iraqi!

Well well well, I do not knows about more intelligent, but seems they
were better armed than the average Iraqi.. those IRA guys ya know. They
seemed a mighty ****sed but that was a while ago.

Did ya have a hoot on St Patties Day there Donal? They dyed the bayou
here green here.. and marched around in kilts blowin the bag pipes.

I'd love to drink a pint at every pub in Dublin on St Patricks Day.

Human beings are human beings and all have the same capacity to learn, as a

Cultural differences do not indicate intelligence.

Correct! But how do you explain the fact that Polish decendants are unable
to detect sarcasm? If it isn't cultural, then it must be genetic.
