    Probably for the same reasons we changed tyre, aluminium, armour and humour just to name a few. We needed to brand that **** as ours from jump. That and I think Noah Webster had an early American quality-laziness.

    He was the proto-American - intellectually incurious, arrogant, prescriptive, and all that.

    A US tourist found a WWII grenade on a walk in Austria (she possibly thought it was a koala), washed it in her hotel room, then asked customs if it was ok to take it on a flight.

    Look I think it's great she even left the US to begin with, but come on...

    Undersecretary of State for Education, most likely.

    Why do you have a terrorist organisation for an avatar? Besides the fact that Daesh don't match your colours...

    Sinn Fein isn't a terrorist organization, it's a legitimate political party founded in 1905. It is separate from the particular incarnation of the IRA you are probably thinking about.

    Far from inextricably, considering Sinn Fein existed both on Irish and British soil at the time, and the British branch saw considerable turmoil and split over it. The Republican Sinn Fein born out of the split in 1986 is the one with the most intricate links, and even those weren't inextricable.

    I was just reading about that. Given the others he's interviewed, the show should be great.

    @Darth Punk
    The first brilliant ten minutes. There are so many great lines, I don't know which to quote. Also, it's a terrifying demonstration of why nothing will be done about guns in Murica. :)

    No one rags on Murica like Sasha.



    Shout out to one of your congressmen, @anakinfansince1983 !

    I would say there are probably two broad reaction types to this piece, from the majority of readers.

    One will empathise with the trials and tribulations that the author experiences.

    The other will just be triggered into rage at the blindly ignorant, foot first approach that comments like this typify:

    "I am continually shocked by the knowledge the Spaniards have of my country’s politicians and policies when a mere three months ago I could did not know the name of Spain’s current president."

    Like, ohmygod.

    Which are you?

    @JoinTheSchwarz - she "ventured" to Seville. Have you ever done that?
