Yeah, I'm certain areas with more Irish heritage are going to have a better grasp of things.

I grew up in an area primarily composed of English, Scottish, and French immigrant descendants.

Legitimately, if they're American, the people in HR probably wouldn't even believe you if you told them about what actually happened during the Irish famine, or how England treated them for decades directly leading to "the troubles"

They would assume you're making it up.

I'm not joking

I was more or less taught in school "oh well it was an oopsie-woopsie, all the crops died but England tried to help them! Oh well, such a terrible natural disaster."

I didn't learn about the darker side of things until I read into it outside school.

The US education system is a joke.

I'd much rather have my shirt going all floppy flappy in between the vortices and keeping my back cool than shaving 2 seconds off my relaxation cruises.

I know some people who would jump on this 100% and I should probably send them the article...

The real question is whether they're going to bother actually doing the math to make it believable, or if they're going to give Trump 105% of the state's population worth of votes.

Everyone knows you can't store people in a pattern buffer.

And surely the Christian Bible would never be revised!

shuffles 400 versions under the rug

I know fully grown adults who think the constitution has never been altered, the ammendments were always there and "just what the founding fathers worked on after signing it and sending it to king George", and that any talk about congress changing things after the fact is just 'liberal propaganda" and at least one person, when asked why they think that, responded with "well I've never seen an Ammendment happen in my lifetime so obviously it doesn't happen."

Several of these adults are related, so I can see why multiple people in the same family might hold that belief, but the fact that I know MORE THAN ONE is insane to me.

I went to school in a non-religious school that was very much a religious area. Sex Ed was basically the scene in Mean Girls "If you have Sex you WILL GET PREGNANT and DIE"
