Thread Name: Which Irish Troubles Songs are Offensive
Subject: RE: Which Irish Troubles Songs are Offensive
We must, MUST learn to be more tolerant of each other! We must learn not to inflame or incite the ire of others through our own thoughtlessness. There are a few thousand marvelous jigs, reels, hornpipes, airs & polkas, etc. we can play which will not cause others to misunderstand our intent. And if all else fails, when in doubt, I side with Homer & Jethro. Instead of the "Battle of New Orleans", sing the following: We're the boys from camp Kookamunga Our mothers sent us here fer ta learn of nature's ways We learn to make fire by rubbin' sticks together And if we catch some girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
