People are saying that is "very Trumpish". https://dublin.ca.gov/293/St-Patricks-Day-Celebration Quote Places in California have cancelled St. Patrick's day. Wanna bet they don't cancel Cinco De Mayo? If you can prove to me that March 17th is always, or even mostly referred to as St. Patrick's day world wide, you MAY have some credit toward the hyper technical argument that I left out the word celebration. I guess it was just a Monumental logical leap, since anyone with any intelligence at all, would understand that I didn't mean they were going to remove an entire date from the calendar. Because that makes MUCH more sense than something like the article I posted states. But - HEY -At least you are getting all that attention that Bill was talking about.

There was nothing stupid, except your intentional misunderstanding. Wait, were you truly incapable of understanding? If so, I apologize, and will try to accommodate your issues in the future.

Even I know that the turtle's meaning was that gatherings celebrating those events would be cancelled, not the events themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knew that, and, frankly, if it had been someone else it would have gone unremarked. Massachusetts, with its very significant Irish population, has cancelled all St. Patrick's celebrations and events. OTOH, Turtle, you enjoy stirring the pot enough that you shouldn't be surprised when sometimes you get caught in it. Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
