    You’re making the above poster’s point for them. Well done. It’s pretty fair to assume that Mo Salah’s ancestors were of that same land regardless of what religious or cultural identity they came from.

    Oh cool. Hotep? So, what percentage of Nubian blood must Mo Salah have before he is allowed to claim a connection to Ancient Egypt? Upper or Lower? Pseudohistory aside, one’s own cultural history is not subject to some racial blood purity tests. That’s some borderline Nazi shit. Anyway, fuck the Brits.



  • Nah, your friend is worrying over nothing, been watching too many movies maybe. Sure, how would anybody know if he’s catholic, as long as he’s not wearing his “I love the Pope” t-shirt? Look, you’ll see a lot of weirdo loyalists and an overabundance of union jacks in some places, but they’ve no interest in you. Likewise, catholic areas will have lots of interesting murals celebrating various anti-colonial struggles, you won’t find much overt sectarianism in those neighborhoods. Leave the Pope t-shirt at home (I guess there’s no presbyterian equivalent?) and avoid the dodgy parts of town, you’ll have a great time. The Antrim coast and Mourne mountains are very beautiful, if you like a bit of nature!






  • I can't say I've ever lived in a white, American neighborhood, but pedestrians around me have a very risky attitude when interacting with traffic crossings etc. There are of course really good reasons why people here may need to cross the street ASAP. I have no idea how that compares to the burbs etc., but would hazard to guess that overall quality of life, stress levels etc. has a lot to do with it.
