It all comes down to assimilation and social mobility.
The Irish Americans became a pillar of America society the same way everyone else did it: Purchasing power and the vote.
That basically just means enough become successful, which many Irish certainly have.
Of course, many have not, but for some reason an entire group is defined by its most successful members.

They weren't illegal because, iirc, immigration legislation simply didn't exist back then, and was actually brought in, in places like NY and Mass because of the Irish (not to mention the Germans and Italians).
I have to admit, I know nothing about this gang, but that sounds awful.
See above.
Right, but that took years. They went from being hated, being treated as a lower class (if not species), to what they are today. That took a long time.
I don't actually believe in blanket immigration laws. I believe in fair, reasonable laws, sure, but I can see why people draw the parallels between the Irish and the people of today.
So it's only a human when the woman wants to keep the baby? So babies are like Wave-Particle Duality. Only if the woman carrying the baby acknowledges the baby's existence (observation), does the baby get human rights (particle). If she does not recognize the baby, it is just a collection of cells that are part of the woman's body (wave).
It's quite clear how they think. Momma can kill it, but nobody else can.
So when do we release from prison all those women who drowned their kids in bathtubs? I think a nice Wednesday release would be cool.

Hillary Clinton is endorsing Andrew Cuomo for mayor.
Obviously since she is a white female..she's just voting the way her hubby demands. So really this is Bill Clinton endorsing him.
Good job doing what you're told Hillary. Now go get dinner started.

Well, since parents can now allow their kids to identify as the gender they choose, I guess this takes it one step further. The parent can now allow the fetus to identify as alive or a cluster of cells (depends on personal preference of parent).
But in Canada, if a child identifies as the opposite gender, and you the parent don't indulge in that child's delusion, then the government can legally take your child away. So in other words, if a boy identifies as a girl and you won't go along with that, you have committed child abuse in the eyes of the government (in Canada).

Though IMO 40 years is too harsh a sentence. We all have that spark of divinity inside us and we need to let it shine through.
I want everyone to come together now and pray for Animal. Pray for him. Pray for his soul. Pray for the children who are fans of the Muppet character with the same name. Pray for the children.
