    My favorite terrorists of the 20th Century were Irish Nationalists.

    The only reason God gave man alcohol was so that the Irish wouldn’t rule the world

    English don't drink much differently than Irish.

    Perhaps, but they don’t have as much fun doing it as the Irish, in fact, no one does

    Not the point I was making.
    The point is that you'd have to read a myriad of languages to be able to truly judge poetry. Even then it's still kind of subjective.

    BTW, in my personal opinion Orwell is the best English writer.

    Not the opinion of most though.

    Because of a sizeable amount of Polish refugees fleeing totalitarian regimes like Soviets & Nazis.

    I don't believe it's that much.

    I think I read before that 46% of Irish have red head genes.
