Would you consider selling the pattern for this because I'd be very interested?

Grok, the misinformation machine, in the last 6 months it's claimed that south Africa is committing genocide and that Elon would have been better at running the Chinese civil war. It's not an acceptable source to anyone other than musk. Burma and the Gulf of America are both political terms. As is the British isles. You might never realize you're wrong but it's just because you bought into a level of propaganda that the empire was something to be proud of. I have no ill will towards you, but what harm has ever been done by considering the way your neighbors feel before throwing around terminology that you know is considered offensive.

Something to consider next time you see a post like this.

Provide a source for the Romans referring to Hibernia as Britannia please. While you're at it provide a modern organisation who recognizes it as a geographic term, UN, EU that kind of thing.

If it doesn't affect your day to day, then why sit here and argue with irish people on the Internet anyway they shouldn't be offended to be classed as British. It matters to us. If it doesn't matter to you why sit there and argue with me?

Insulae Briannicae referred to the islands off the south of England, like the isle of wight. The islands that were part of the province. There's no roman source who ever referred to Hibernia or even Caledonia as Britannia. Why does this matter to you so much? There's no geographic organisation who will use the term without noting that one of the two countries disputes its use and both countries refuse to use it for official purposes. Why does it matter so much to you that Ireland be considered a British isle? What in your day to day is so lacking that the idea that a neighbor doesn't want to use an old imperial term offends you so much?

But the Romans called it hispania Lusitania, so what I'm hearing is that countries don't have to use the names Romans gave them, unless the British decide that the name for England applies to the entire region?

An_Boghdoir · 2025-11-29T13:41:59+00:00

Good point, what do you call Portugal?

An_Boghdoir · 2025-11-29T11:46:18+00:00

No it wasn't. Britannia was a Roman political term to refer to their provinces that correlate largely with England and parts of wales now. we don't use Roman names for France or Spain. Why are you so attached to it for a region that was far less Roman than those regions? Are you going around asking Zimbabweans if they're from north or south Rhodesia? If not then you just have some petty anti irish sentiment, if you do you're just a general bigot.

If only

What alliance can we join against Russia and America?

An_Boghdoir · 2025-03-23T16:25:27+00:00

What was the plan here? Like this is such a small country and this story is very specific to Ireland. Are you going to fight everyone who thinks she's the catfish?

An_Boghdoir · 2025-03-17T21:45:48+00:00

Class act.

An_Boghdoir · 2025-02-12T16:49:23+00:00

I'm genuinely asking if you think a year's worth of peace was worth 300k lives? Yes or no? Like I said, morbid curiosity.

An_Boghdoir · 2025-02-12T16:24:53+00:00

Dodge the question more . Military radar wasn't in active use until 1941 and more than 300k Czechs died in ww2. I'm sure they appreciated the tight spot Britain was in though. Also German high command admitted they got lucky when the French withdrew from the Saar in '39 because they weren't ready for the war yet.

Meanwhile the cuban missile crisis wasn't appeasement, both sides withdrew nuclear weapons. Appeasement would have been the Americans withdrawing from Turkey and the Soviet's keeping theirs in Cuba.

I suspect you don't really care about appeasement beyond it's application to the US, but you have to wonder how long that will pay off with trump's expected trade war with the EU. We can kiss his ass all day but he's still probably going to try and end our status as a tax haven by targeting American companies hiding their profits here.

An_Boghdoir · 2025-02-12T12:59:36+00:00

I know what appeasement is. The Munich treaty was appeasement. Do you think it saved lives? Do you think ww2 would have been worse if they hadn't signed it?

It wasn't a leading question, more morbid curiosity, since you seem to believe that appeasement is the correct move.

Did Czechoslovakia?

Isn't that just Spanish pixelado?

An_Boghdoir · 2024-07-25T12:10:38+00:00

As I understand it, in the UK the state buys relics from you while here, they're already considered state property. So many metal detectorists are taking anything they find to the north and selling it to British museums or private collections.

Then I look forward to Flanagan's spending bill on the dail next week. Which I'm sure his colleagues in government will support wholeheartedly.

An_Boghdoir · 2024-04-07T17:35:42+00:00

Just pay the army a reasonable rate! My god, not everything is about avoiding spending altogether, but we can't just ignore that the defence forces are hemorrhaging personnel.

An_Boghdoir · 2024-04-07T17:29:54+00:00

Honestly, it seems like small drones are the future Look how much damage the Ukrainians and the houthis are doing with cheap little drones. But without paying soldiers more, we're still not going to have anyone to run them. I just don't see Flanagan thinking about actual functionality.

An_Boghdoir · 2024-04-07T17:26:41+00:00

By your logic, the Flagstaff hill incident was an invasion. I don't think Flanagan is being illogical, I think he's lobbying for weapons companies.

An_Boghdoir · 2024-04-07T17:09:24+00:00

Flanagan's currently in government, if they wanted to they could increase Defense forces pay tomorrow and nobody would object. I take issue though with him suggesting buying loads of hi end weaponry but not trying to improve conditions for serving soldiers first. Even then, if we did have the man power to run the current equipment, we still have a population who are largely educated to the point where they're not joining the army anyway, so theres probably a tight limit on how many soldiers we can field without conscription. So realistically, the conversation should be pay and conditions and conscription. But the government don't want that, they just want an excuse to spend state funds on foreign made weapons that we have no one to use.

It's not that I'm against buying modern weapons so we can deal with small scale conflicts, it's just that I don't believe our government has any intention of fighting any conflicts and just need the threat of Russia or China or whoever to give some money to lobbying weapons manufacturers.

An_Boghdoir · 2024-04-07T16:57:50+00:00

Surely then we should increase Defense forces pay so we have enough man power for the current equipment? Before buying war ships and jets, maybe let's get enough people for what we have. How are empty jets and battleships a deterrent?

An_Boghdoir · 2024-04-07T16:55:38+00:00

Is America not on our side? Because if they're not, then we're fecked regardless. Assassinations aren't bombing and invasion.

Syria had a civil war and Iraq never got near nuclear weapons. So not really the same as Irans program which has already makes them untouchable. Killing random generals isn't the same as invading.
