All because your ancestors came from Germany, or Ireland, doesn't mean a thing.!

Who are you to be ashamed of a family that might had to escape that country for their very sole existence?

Were you there during the wars between the skirts and the red coats?

Were you there when Russia started buying up land from Germany?Hungary?Poland? So that farmers who didn't have the money to keep theirs had to leave or die fighting for it?

Your ancestors aren't here now to defend that slander you just allowed to roll out of your mouth, show them some respect!

Oh My! You've brought out the "shaming stick", have you?

Seems Ireland, and Germany (as with most of Europe) have grabbed their ankles for good ole Socialism. My Ancestors were long gone before Marx got the wild hair, so it really doesn't reflect on them.

To hell with the Irish, if this is truly what they believe, they don't have a corner on the misery market.

Not that I'm ashamed or anything, but my German ancestors came to America to avoid conscription.

I suppose that it the true meaning of "sole existence".
