Yep and they were actually trained by the Soviets. The IRA was nothing but a commie front group. Perhaps a lot of sympathizers didn't realize it, but it's the truth.

I have fun. Should us Irish Americans be upset about cultural appropriation? Naw. you can join in on the fun too. Just don't be a kunt. Maybe we should ask for an entire month and other random days throughout the year.

Funny, when the pub asked me what percentage Irish I was in 06, and I said, "none," they actually started calling people about the American that didn't claim any Irish blood. They wanted to meet the American that didn't claim it.

Officially perhaps but on the ground in an Italian dialect it may have been called something else. Time

I guess the next thing you’re going to tell me is Easter isn’t about a giant rabbit hopping around bringing eggs/candy to little kids or that Christmas isn’t about a fat man in a sled pulled by flying reindeer bringing toys to all of the good boys and girls around the world?
