seriously, Britain doesn’t belong in N. Ireland.


If you follow that logic, there are lots of places the US doesn't belong in — like California.

Really? So California was taken from an indigenous population oppressed by Americans for centuries as part of a settlement to divide areas with a relatively scant majority American population from other areas of California more populated by Californians?

That’s strange. I always thought California was conquered and settled by the Spanish who then lost it to a mixed Euro-indigenous population of Mexicans who then lost it to a group of free republic revolutionaries led by William Ide who then gave it over to American troops fighting the Mexicans. And last I looked, California was pretty much open to those in it and didn’t oppress the native population. Also, Mexico throughout this time had a governemnet and sovereignty recogized around the world, while Ireland had been so oppressed that it ceased to be a nation at all and was little more than a colony. It’s people’s language was banned, as was their faith and culture. Did that happen in California?
