Great post!

You did get my Irish up, though, by calling Ireland a shithole. Granted, you did give credit to the English for that, which is true.

Yet I must then go on to say that Ireland experienced a purposeful starvation thanks to those English. This stemmed from their being reduced to subsisting on potatoes as a result of Ireland being turned into an English plantation. No "potato famine." Just another example of the civilized English spreading their civilized ways, such as theft, murder, colonization, and when all else fails, starvation, of course.

What I meant is that most of us have ancestors who came from places not much better than Haiti b/c they were ruled by people like the British aristocracy who turned those places into sh*tholes - the same problem Haiti has! Remember, if things were great for our ancestors, they would have stayed where ever they came from and not have left for the USA, Canada, Australia etc!

I know! :) I was just being fresh. :) I have a soft spot for Ireland. As a woman of Irish descent and knowing just some of the history, I tend to rush to her defense (despite what the Irish now appear to be doing to themselves), especially when I see a reference to the "potato famine."

Smoking also killed George Floyd. If he didn't smoke, he wouldn't have used funny money to buy a carton of Newports, the store would not have called the cops, and the whole incident never would have happened. He never would have eaten his stash, which he did when he knew he was about to be arrested.
