Give it to him. The idiot deserves it.
My wife is Irish-American and love Irish American women. Not Irish-American myself but nobody is perfect.
I can't believe the unsympathetic responses to this article.
Is FreeRepublic made up of Romans??
Personally I like the Romans and admire their military and engineering skills. But when they behave like jerks, as they did with Boudicca, they got what they deserved - for a while, anyway.
What no one will give the woman credit for is the simple fact that, like few ever managed to, she -unified-, however briefly, a disparate bunch of self-contained clans into something resembling a fighting force.
Every Celtic man is his own 'king' and if you have 20,000 Celts charging on a battlefield, you have, in effect, 20,000 'kings' all out to do their own thing and fight their own little private war.
That is the great thing about Celts and unfortunately, was also their eventual downfall.
Each clan is utterly autonomous to the point that they rarely agreed to unite and cooperate even if it was for their own ultimate good.
It continues to this day.
I go to a lot of Highland games and the ones held east of the mountains, are mild and entertaining cultural celebrations.
The games held -west- of the mountains have brawls break out.
I *think* it's because the more "civilized" city folk who attend the eastern ones have somewhat lost the 'blood lust' of their forbearers and the western ones are comprised of the "hillbilly" descendants of the less 'polite company' sort.....;D
"Give it to him. The idiot deserves it."
Apprently he's got enough "punishment" on his hands already.
[bwahahahahaaaaaaaaa!]
How some men handle 'uppity women' is fascinating, really.
My ex literally tried to beat the "spirit" out of me.
My Sicilian husband encourages it and adores me all the more for it.
Go figger.
