One in 10 baby boys born in Ireland in 1980 was called 'John Paul' after the Pontiff's historic visit 35 years ago.And the Polish elections of June 4th, 1989! Until recently, I considered that period as the happiest time of my life.
Many in mid-40s.
The rest is history..

In fact, these two scoundrels had kids as well.
The two warm-up acts for Pope John Paul, the last pontiff to visit Ireland in 1979, were later revealed as frauds and liars.

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.

Which version of the Bible they used?When they come to your land, and tell you that you're barbarians, your culture deserves to be wiped out, your lands resettled and your children turned into servants or slaughtered, what do you do?
WHAT DO YOU DO?
You do this:
Happy anniversary of the battle of Grunwald, where Poland and Lithuania kicked the arses of Western settler-colonialists!

Re: History is Bunk
— John Fire Lame Deer[1]For people who are as poor as us, who have lost everything, who had to endure so much death and sadness, laughter is a precious gift. When we were dying like flies from white man's disease, when we were driven into reservations, when the government rations did not arrive and we were starving, watching the pranks and capers of Heyókȟa were a blessing.
