    There's a lot of beef in Northern Ireland, and it's between its own citizens; catholics and protestants. The island of Ireland is divided into 32 counties, 6 of which are in the UK. This is Northern Ireland, a separate country from the Republic of Ireland, which contains the other 26 counties. To simplify things (maybe over-simplify things): catholics are nationalist, they want the island of Ireland to be united as one country, and protestants are unionists, they want NI to stay part of the UK. Catholics used to be pretty badly discriminated against in NI, especially by police (sounds familiar), but sadly the response from a small few was guerrilla style paramilitary action that killed many civilians. There was wrongdoing on both sides. Thousands died in the fighting of what was basically a civil war. An agreement was signed in 1998, but occasionally bad things still happen and people get hurt, on both sides. It's very sad to see.

     

    Sorry to get super serious on the ol' HH forum, but I like my country and don't like when we fight.

    But the world then got introduced to Michael Fassbender in Hunger, so all worth it?


  2. Chanson's dissertation made me think of how weird we all are, and I'm curious to what kind of weird movies/musics/tvs you guys enjoy? Eric Andre Show is hilarious, probs my favorite show on tv right now. Wet Hot American Summer be my all time movie of the lifetime. Anddddd the new Panda Bear album leaked and it is glorious, album of the next year for sure..

    I watch Wet Hot American Summer at least a couple of times a year, one of my favourite comedies. The mess hall scene between Janeane Garofalo and Paul Rudd is the best thing of all time.

     

    Also, the newest comedy that I instantly loved was Andy Daly's Review. The pancakes episode was to die for.
