@kentishsteve No, England were the ones forever ago in cromwells rule to take ireland and seize it. Cromwell took away the monarchy untill charles the II came and restored the english monarchy, its today known as britain or the united kingdom.

@royalcello Being a king is the most despicable crime there is.

@Grizzly0679 What, you think the Irish have a reputation for fighting because they played in the sandbox with dolls till their were 20? what??

@daco420 None of this removes the fierceness of the Scots or the Vigilance of Jews. What, you think the Irish have a reputation for fighting because they played in the sandbox with dolls till their were 20? All cultures in the world have endured, and continue to endure much suffering at the hands of those in power, and there many heroic stories to be heard, not just our own.

@daco420 He noted how Jewish prisoners became aggressor towards other Jewish prisoners; taking their shoes, clothes, what little food they had, etc... No different then modern day prisons. Everyone in their has a sad story to tell, and is in some way of a victim too. The Scots raped and pillaged their own people too when they were occupied.
