re :You’re kidding, right? Beginning in 1845 and lasting for six years, the potato famine alone – brought about by British occupation and confiscation of lands from native Irish -- killed over a million men, women and children in Ireland and caused another million to flee the country.

If you are going to revert to history we could talk about Americas treatment of the Indians, and that you were a slave holding nation right up to the 1800s.

slave holding nation right up to the 1800s.

And you were a slave holding empire up until the 1800's. What's the difference...
