American Indians and firewater

[aussiefriend]

Indians have a lot of problems with alcohol but the Irish and then Germans aren't so far behind.

That is ridiculous! How can you compare the Irish with the Indian Indigenous Population in the United States.

The Irish are a successful part of Europe with a rich history. As anglo-saxons we have generations of tolerance to alcohol as opposed to a culture that is clearly living in poverty and with all sorts of social inadequacies. I feel very sorry for those people and the children born with alcoholic fetal syndrome. Their life expectancy is probably way lower than any Irish population in Europe or in any other part of the world.

It's all very well to espouse these little bits of insight and wisdom but you need to back it up with a little thing called 'facts'.

The Irish are fine thank you very much.
