    Dropkick Murphys is going to be in Ireland in April.

    I need to begin planning.
    I'm going.
    I’d have thought their lack of posturing would make them uninteresting to you.

    Isn't their whole schtick about pretending to be Irish?

    I mean, I like their music a lot, but that seems like posturing to me.

    They do not in any way pretend to be Irish. They are very distinctly Irish-American. As in, distinct from actually Irish. Their lyrics constantly reference life in the city of Boston, for example.

    I guess you're right. To be honest, I'm glad to see you saying Irish-Americans are so distinct from actual Irish people. I always feel Irish-Americans think they're the same as the Irish, and it bugs me.

    Nah, I could see him talking on the cellphone to someone. If I DO see a stranded vehicle crashed in a ditch, if I can't tell the driver and passengers are okay, I'll stop and check on them.

    Actually it is perfectly legal in many states in the US to continue about your business and ignore the poor person.

    It is a little hard sometimes because I grew up in a community filled with second- and third-generation Irish like myself, and then honest-to-goodness Irishman like my dad.

    This is not at all unusual for Irish-American communities.

    Like, dragging someone out of a wreck and exacerbating a spinal injury? Whatever, you were acting in good faith.

    Good Samaritan laws are so haphazardly applied and vary so much from place to place, the chance you'll be sued for helping is just too high for most people to get involved. Pulling someone out of a wrecked car that's on fire and you exacerbate their spinal injury might be covered, pulling someone out of a wrecked car that isn't on fire and you exacerbate their spinal injury might not. In several states, Good Samaritan laws only apply to trained medical personnel, and even then only when they're acting as volunteers and not on duty.

    A lot of it is just that people like to feel like they're a part of something exciting and expressing their support for a mythical ethno-religious revolution across the ocean is just the way to do that without actually having to do anything.

    Another (much smaller) part of it is that there are a lot of people here whose parents and/or grandparents came here to get away from that shit and inherited their bitterness.

    so, in our apartment, we share our bedroom wall with our next-door neighbors' bedroom

    they're a young couple, just like us

    the apartment's pretty good for soundproofing, but usually we can hear them pretty clearly when they're fucking (which means they can probably hear us, too, but whatever)

    anyway, this morning i am trying to sleep in a bit and i am woken up by my neighbors catchin' a little morning delight.

    i try to ignore it and keep sleeping and then suddenly i hear a series of loud bangs and crashes that are pretty unmistakably a body or two hitting a hardwood floor

    and the panting and moaning stops and i hear them going "FUCK, ow, god damn it" "shit, are you okay?" "yeah, are you okay?"

    pretty sure one or both of them fell out of bed or something

    i had to get up and walk into the kitchen so they wouldn't hear me busting a gut laughing
