Re: God Hates Ireland ? Land of the Sodomite Damned

A staggering amount of antisemitism in Ireland: https://global100.adl.org/country/ireland/2014

Especially among those over 50.
The ADL would find antisemitism in your linen closet, Paul.
I'd completely forgotten, but I once had a Jewish wife.

If Russia wasn't involved then there'll be some people accidentally falling out of tall buildings who should have thought of it.

Re: norway

Border with Russia. NATO member. Doesn’t spend 2% of GDP on defence.

No wonder Jens Stoltenberg, Norwegian, is getting a bit twitchy.

The love of history is the root of all evil.
Now yo've all seen Putin's risible performance, maybe you will understand.

Re: Stupid question of the day

Good catch. For three weeks when I was 17 I ran the Middle East marketing department of Unilever. I suppose I must have had a boss. I say "ran" since I never saw anybody else in the large office. Certainly no one telling me what to do. But, hey, that was the UK in the 1970s!

Re: Are you ready for POST BREXIT?

Ah, tulips...a symbol of love and joy. Also, unrealistic expectations and overconfidence, followed by a deep and painful crash back to earth. Oh, to be a teenager again.

Re: You are rich, privately educated and intelligent. So why do you vote Socialist?

BTW no need for commas because you can see it in the verb eunt (present indicative) or ite (imperative).
Clever cookies, those Romans.
So you are saying that the imperative plus vocative is better than a comma? Seems very inefficient to me.

Re: You are rich, privately educated and intelligent. So why do you vote Socialist?

Is that "Asylum seekers go home" as a statement or "Asylum seekers, go home" as an order. These things matter.
