I'll give ya that but he's still an elitist prick if you ask me (which nobody did).

Wow... this got derailed quickly... [Coffee]
Admittedly, I really didn't help.

I think the problem is this: A Christian sees a person feeding the hungry and clothing the needy, and say that's a good Christian. A Muslim sees someone blow up a Jewish daycare and they say that's a good Muslim.

I love my family, but I have been in fistfights with all of them. Do we use salty and racist language, yes because if you want to get under someone's skin that is the fastest way. By the same token you can find Irish hanging out with every other race and culture too, as long as they are stand-up guys. There is no patience for whining or someone that des not hold their own in a fight.

I'm an Irish guy from New York and you two hit it on the head.

All of this Irish talk reminds me of the barber shop scenes in "Gran Torino".

Can we stop w the Subaru bigotry? Nothing wrong w not wanting to die in crappy driving conditions.

Priuses on the other hand, HIPPY DOUCHES!!!

I'm so sick of this Boston shit every time I turn around its the only thing people are talking about. More people died in the avalanche in Colorado last week and what about the Texas explosion what 15 people died there and you barely hear a word about it

Derailed? Nah... "enhanced". :-) Some of the best conversations (IMHO) on here have been where the thread meandered a few miles off of the original topic. :-)

That's because Boston is New York Jr. They both think the world revolves around them.

It's not just about the death count but think of how many were maimed and/or amputated. Beyond that, an avalanche is a naturally occurring phenomena, and an accidental fire-explosion is not nearly the same as a terrorist attack. It's the majority of what's being talked about in the same line of thinking that 9/11 was widely discussed afterward, but no one seemed to notice that 5 people were killed that same week in a roll over accident in some other part of the country.
