At this stage I can't tell you're a troll so to sum it off quickly..

Partition was a factor in the Civil war but absolutely not the main cause of it. The main cause of the political seperation that led to the civil war was the oath to the King. And what would the alternative have been to a non-partitioned country? Are you assuming that Ulster Protestants would have been to shrug their…

What are you talking about? I said nothing about blaming the IRA for not conquering the British because its the IRA, particularly the Rural forms of it, who held these ideals. I don't think it was Britains responsibility to look after the laws of our country when we got our own constitution, that was our job. And we…

I have a much darker opinion of the rising and resulting war then most Irish people. Connolly, Collins and Casement were genuinely heroes fighting for justice and a belief in a better world. Most of the others really just wanted to replace the King with the Pope and in my opinion we were better off under the former at…

The great Potato famine had much more to do with ineptitude, fanaticism to free market ideals and a total lack of knowledge for how to deal with the crisis then any sincere form of trying to exterminate the population.

I'd like to see what Reagan…

"The new version builds upon a space created by 12 Years A Slave and Birth Of A Nation to create a Roots narrative free from the desire to comfort or entertain white audiences."

I…didnt actually know that.

Correct! But the point still stands

I thought Frederick Tatum was a real person for 8 years of my life. A man so imposing even his parodies came to life

I reread the article about 5 times looking for the snark attempts and condescension before realising they edited it. I can still see "Move-over Beyonce-nick-cave-doing-lemonade-creepy" in my url bar though.

Season 2 was the ass cancer that killed it off

Giving that I work in an open plan office, the thought of been called into HR for looking at porn during a pricing window would probably make me a master of the stealth wank.

Well if nothing else this article has excited every HR department in the US and is responsible for more awkward emails then the aftermath of the work christmas party

Its truly unfortunate that due to the MRA bullshit surrounding this, it's difficult to rightfully point out that that trailer was a cinematic genocide and replacing each vagina with a penis, even Bill Murrays, wouldn't have done much to save it.
