***That should make everyone feel better!***

Did the apology bring the slain back to life? Did it restore the stolen goods and burned manuscripts?

If not then what good is it other than to make the Irish feel better. It is way too late to rectify what has happened in the past, so....

YOU BETTER LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT! Talk is cheap.

I’d like to say I’m sorry to Eaker for thinking, before I met him, that his name was pronounced “EE-ker” instead of “Ay-ker.”

“As I am at least one quarter Irish I demand triple damages...talk is cheap.”

Then you probably have some Viking in you going back 1000 years.

I’d just like to say that if any of my ancestors ever beat up any of your ancestors............................THEY HAD IT COMING I’m no sissy boy

Each time my brother would beat the hell out of me he would say, "It would not have happened if you did not deserve it!" Forty years later he was very ill and terminal. I said to him, "Richard this is the first time in my life that I could physically beat you up and now I do not want to any more." With a sly grin and laugh he said, "It would not have happened if you did not deserve it."

I miss him.

The Danes who attacked have been Irish for centuries now.

Sheesh...the ones who apologized didn't even invade...they're still across the water.

The Scottish also built the lookout towers. Cannot imagine what life would be like in those times. Everything going fine, then one day a ship appears on the horizon, and then all hell breaks loose. The Italian coastal towns also had to deal with ‘Pirates’. Those were Muslim Berbers I think.

“Before you know it, the Macedonians will be apologizing to the Persians.”

Before you know it, the Lord will be apologizing to Adam for creating woman, and screwing it up twice.

I’m Sicilian.

I’m owed reparations by the Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Lombards, Normans, the Knights of Malta, Italians, French and Germans!

You think Ireland had it bad?

Sicilian?

I think your reparations were funneled into a court ordered account to help organized crime victims! The Northern League has slapped a lien on it too. They say they’re “tired of carrying the load” or some such thing.

Yeah, uh...everybody? Just stand way over there while I start my car, okay?
