That's what the other half of the family says.
Then what the heck is it a matter of? Other than old ladies who don't like Catholics and have nothing better to do than argue about their genealogy?
70 points for a pass though. And I don't plan on putting a huge amount of effort in.
Religion's a part of it, hey.

It started to snow again...

Regarding college my current list is like this:
- Norse-Celtic studies at university in Oslo. Will learn to read and interpret Norse texts. I can master from there in Norse philology, Celtic (Irish) or Norse and Medieval studies. Pity it's in Oslo. Also only 10 places, but all who applied last year got in.
- Lektor (teacher for high school) with History in Trondheim. I get the ability to teach+ a masters degree in history along with one extra subject of my choice. I probably will not get in though..
- Same as above, but in Bodř. Lower requirements. I'd get in.
- Archćologist in Trondheim.
- Artifact conservation in university in Trondheim.
- Not sure what to put here. I hope to get in in one of the earlier ones...

The Troubles (Irish: Na Trioblóidí) is the common name for the ethno-nationalist[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] conflict in Northern Ireland that spilled over at various times into the Republic of Ireland, England and mainland Europe. The Troubles began in the late 1960s and is considered by many to have ended with the Belfast Good Friday Agreement of 1998.[14][15][16][17][18] However, sporadic violence has continued since then.[15][19][20]
The conflict was primarily a political one, but it also had an ethnic or sectarian dimension,[21] although it was not a religious conflict.[22] The key issues at stake were the constitutional status of Northern Ireland and the relationship between its two main communities, which are, on one side,Unionists and loyalists – who mostly come from the Protestant community and generally want Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom, and, on the other side, Irish nationalists and republicans – who mostly come from the Roman Catholic community and generally want to leave the United Kingdom and join a united Ireland. The former generally see themselves as British and the latter generally see themselves as Irish. The main participants in the Troubles were republican paramilitaries (such as the Provisional IRA), loyalist paramilitaries (such as the UVF andUDA), the British state security forces (the British Army and the RUC, Northern Ireland's police force), and political activists and politicians. The Republic of Ireland's security forces played a smaller role. More than 3,500 people were killed in the conflict.
Its a fairly sore topic.
You wernt hated for being Protestant or Catholic but for where that insinuated your allegiance lay.

Heh, you give the people involved too much credit. There was a huge amount of sectarianism against Catholics by the government in Stormont for decades. Catholics were equally hateful against the Protestants. Catholics wouldn't be given a job from Proddie business owners, for example. Catholic votes weren't counted by the town councils led by the Protestants.
Not that I'm a nationalist or anything, but you can't dismiss what was done (on both sides).
Basically, Proddie = Loyalist, Cathol = Nationalist, as far as the government and the Ra were concerned.

Im far from oblivious to the oppression of catholic communities or to the atrocities by both sides but your last line sums it up nicely

What are we on about this for?

Cause border counties are passionate about this stuff
One of my friends was introducing me to this fella she knew from back home and she was like "He's from Cavan so its like kinda the North". Me and the lad gave her dogs abuse about it and it ended in her having to buy me a drink

I have failed the Patties.
Both my parents are Catholic. But I fear that the new continent is being overrun by Jehovah's Witness, Mormons and other new forms of Christianity.
They're all full of shite anyway.

Lol at your expression, disappointed are you Andy, hmm?
True that, but at least the Catholic Church is attempting to preserve science and has succeeded at preserving interesting culture and art. I can see eye to eye more with a pope than with some dumb ass pastor who's preaching god knows what.
Shame there aren't more popes then.
This recent one ain't so bad though. Plus, I have a friend called Francis, makes for some good jokes.
EDIT: where you from anyway Oda?

I will find you and literally bury you and everything you love under a mountain of patty meat if you call us "pattys" again.
But like ye I have no qualms with Francie in the Vatican at the mo. He seems pretty chill. Y'all know he's dropping a 20 bag in that incense burner every mass.
Meanwhile every nutjob with a God complex and a power trip is becoming a pastor and getting a following while he lives like a mexican cartel don.
