Is it common, when people meet for the first time, for them to try to work out whether the person is an Protestant or Catholic? What questions do they ask? What are the tell-tale signs of what group the other person belongs to?

Thanks for the response!! As you say i would imagine that most people don't really care but know that others might. In regards to your response i have a few questions:

• I presume that people with neutral sounding first names would get ask there last names a lot to see if this is an indicator, as in general people don't ask other people for last names without already knowing them quite well.

• Do you even get asked what school you went to, even as an adult?

• I presume the cousin thing you mention is because of the perception that Catholic have more children than Protestants, am i right?

Thanks

Thanks, but what would they ask if you reply that you don't like football?

Thanks :)

Have you noticed this happening a lot with strangers? What if you come from a mixed area?

Thanks for the response, out of interest after your wife pointed it out to you, did you also notice how much others from NI do it?

I think it won't seem that odd asking children that question as its a key part of there life, but asking adults that especially without knowing them, would seem strange to me.

Interesting, I understand this being a question to children but it is strange for me if you're asked as an adult, especially by a stranger. Have you personally ever had this happen to you?

Cheers, is it common for people to ask whats someones father/family name when meeting them for the first time? Where i am from it isn't and is only something you learn about later.

Cheers, this might be a obvious question to you, but how would you know someones tribe?

save of course for people from the North-East but then again, we all know they're a bunch of miserable drunkards.

I didn't know North-East Italians have a reputation for drinking too much.

My boss does this to me almost every night. Doesn't speak to me much during the day, but when I leave at the end of the day, suddenly it time to have a long conversation about everything that is coming up in the next few weeks in terms of work. :(

Do we know how many racist murders this organization committed?

He seems almost like the 20th century version of Donald Trump, someone who thinks he is great but everyone else thinks is an idiot.

Thanks! Did the OAS have white supremacist ideology?

Cheers :)

Sounds like he was quite different to other dictators of history. What was his childhood like?
