Did it ever occur to you that the Irish DID live in a repressed society??

No occurring required, GfS. I know they do. But that is not what you said. Your exact phrase, to save you looking it up, was -

The mentality of the British Isles: suppress anything that isn't acceptable, and it will go away and life will be wonderful."

Yes, you can tell that by 'Step Dancing'...true story...the feet are going a mile a minute(or kilometer, if you prefer) but the head and shoulders remain rigid. This is indicative of a repressive society

The British Isles, for the record, is mainland Britain, the whole of Ireland and a host of other bits. Not to be confused with Great Britain, which does not include the south of Ireland. I know from past discussions that it is a difficult concept for some in the US but if you are going to start tarring peoples with the same brush you need to be clear who your targets are. Hope this helps. Besides, psycho-analysis based on dance styles is still a stupid concept. What would you make of these guys who are dancing out today not 20 miles from us? :-)


Ed - Yes, they are being super sensitive.
