This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Oh it's still in living memory, Ireland and Irish culture still hasn't recovered from it.

The population has barely recovered, in fact. If i recall correctly, it was within the past five years that the Irish population exceeded pregenocide levels.

Just googled it

Pre-genocide it was8.2-8.5 million, today it's 5.1

They're still 60-67% of what their population was before
