Boston Marathon hit by explosions

[klr]

The third fatality was a Chinese postgraduate student.

I'll certainly look at splitting off the most recent posts, just as soon as I can find time this morning.

The Irish stuff might be a bit more difficult to disentangle, and might be best left where it is.

The Irish stuff should stay, I think. People may not agree that it's appropriate or accurate, but it's not entirely irrelevant in the broader context of human social politics. Personally, I've far less problem with a contentious point in a serious conversation than with a load of fluff designed to asphyxiate that point while at the same time gormlessly cavorting all over the gravity of the topic. The irony.

My only problem with the Irish stuff is that (without checking) I guess it makes up about 75% of the thread, drowning all other aspects.

[Rum]

I'd leave it. It was a derail and pretty much everyone thinks it was inappropriate.

[Coito ergo sum]

Oh that one. Well, MM has Irish relations, but I don't think he's Irish.

Anyway, I'll give CES a pass on this one, and remind him at some future point how Irish people helped to (literally) build the US of A ...

Give em a shovel and a potato and they will dig all day

I did not insult the Irish people. I insulted mistermack and people that think like him. I have no doubt that most Irish don't think like him.

Frankly, if he's not Irish, but rather English (what is he?) then he really should put a fucking bullet in his own head as atonement for the sins of the British against the Irish. If any "people" have blood on their hands it's far more the English than the Bostonians.

I crowd source my stance and facts.

... which is why you're so often full of shit.

I think Scrumple is funny. Unless he really is serious.

In humour, timing is everything. That includes knowing when to stop.
So yes, I think he is serious.
Pity.

[Coito ergo sum]

The "fact?" Your ASSERTION remains. What do you base that on? Your own navel-gazing?

Fuck you, and every Irishman that thinks like you. No wonder your country doesn't amount to much, with folks like you dragging it down.

This was the post I was referring to.

I don't know how I fucked up and commented on a different post from CES.

The insult was intended to to be against mistermack and people that think like him. Again, I assumed he was Irish, which was wrong to assume. I still don't know what the fuck he is - and like I said, if he is an Englishman, I find it hilarious that he would revel in the deaths of Bostonians as being justified because of the Bostonians' treatment of the Irish. The part about ireland not amounting to much was not well-phrased, and I apologize to the Irish in general for that.

He's still got a bee in his bonnet about the Boston Tea Party...

[cronus]

I'm not serious I just don't have good timing. It is a shame but some must have a word ill-timed always and one such is me. Do I feel sorry for suffering? Yes. Do I put my foot in it? Yes. Born outside the golden moment that blesses some.

Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American
There is a double standard: White terrorists are dealt with as lone wolves, Islamists are existential threats
