    Seem to be Scottish, lol, so what if they are? You seem refuse to admit Irish have bag pipes too. You really think at a huge St. Paddy's day parade all those Irish guys are only playing Scottish pipes? And let's say they are, that destroys the authors point about bag pipes.

    You seem incompetent.

    How can you trust anything in that article when the author didn't even realise that the Irish have their own version of the bagpipes? Just to help you, Uilleann pipes are played with air from bellows unlike Scottish bagpipes which are played with air from the player's lungs. The chanter has a range of two full octaves, including sharps and flats.

    I am not refusing to admit it. Tom's claim checks out. Now do you have a point that was relevant to the article?

    NM, you are an idiot that focuses on trivial gotchas.
    Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    I am bothered by him using tax dollars for his campaign materials though.
    Two things:

    The clovers in Lucky Charms are marshmallow, not oat! Those damn Irish!


    Did you see the Freudian slip during the presser with Merkel? He referred to the U.S as a 'great business', instead of a 'great country'.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Yet you don't consider Obama saying "57 States", claiming Savannah, GA Charleston, SC and Jacksonville, FL were on the Gulf coast, and stating "Here in Asia" while making a speech in Hawaii a problem. Why do you hold the white President to a higher standard than the black one?

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    “It’s fitting that we gather here each year to celebrate St. Patrick and his legacy,” Kenny said. “He, too, was an immigrant. And even though he is, of course, the patron saint of Ireland, for many people around the globe, he is also the symbol of — indeed, the patron of — immigrants.”

    Kenny went on to explain that in past centuries, the Irish were “the retched refuse on the teeming shore,” who nonetheless “believed in the shelter of America, in the compassion of America, in the opportunity of America.
