This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

From the article: "Rings of Power: The new hobbits are filthy, hungry simpletons with stage-Irish accents. That’s $1bn well spent"

Erm... Does anyone else smell the irony here?? LOL

I think I might have some Irish ancestry. Distantly. In which case I also take offence in show of solidarity to my distant Irish brethren.

Ta' buddy.  ;D

I just find it so deliciously ironic that these poncey showrunners tried to be so politically correct and yet they fall flat on their faces while trying so hard (and they also were called out for other accents too).

And it's even funnier because it was picked up by the Irish Times which is a well-respected newspaper and one of the biggest we have here. LOL

Being Irish is like Being Mexican, we're all Irish at heart.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

St Patricks Day and Cinco DeMayo did massive public relations work that Italians could never match with Columbus Day being a non-drinking holiday.

For me, Columbus Day wins hand down.

I don’t require a special occasion to drink and Columbus Day is always a paid day off.

Viva Italia, baby.

In México BOTH May 5th and Columbus Day are paid days off. Check Mate Americans!  ;D
