I only mentioned the Irish because there was a couple of UK people on an
earlier thread.  I have not heard of a group of Englishmen bombing an
Irish department store and killing children.  I have heard of vice
versa.   

Actually, as I said earlier, I'm of Scotch-Irish descent and am not
violent.  But Southern Scoth-Irish, especially from the mountain regions
have always had a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for violence.  I think
it's a trait of the Gaelic people who were great warriors, and very
independent.
