Agreed on their style choices . I got dark brown , but may order the red or ostrich from eBay . Considering all the Therions look exactly the same , I ' m not too worried about having the latest the DNA 200 is a fantastic chip , regardless . I ' m looking forward to some sweet , sweet swappable 18650 battery life after using an Hcigar VT 200 for the last year and having constant battery anxiety . <| sep |> Well it could be that they want him singly active to draw your eye to him . <| sep |> See , this is the kind of thinking that got Merica into its current predicament . <| sep |> The analogy of France , Germany and Finland is not a true analogy . French , German and Finnish are the main languages withing them countries . In Ireland it ' s English . Nationalist and closet anglophobic attitudes aside , that ' s just the fact . I really do get your argument about preserving your cultural identity and that there is more to life then an income and a job . I ' m more practically minded maybe its the engineer in me ? but I just want to prepare my children for an increasingly more global world by providing them with relevant skills to survive and prosper . Sad to say it but Irish just isn ' t one of them skills . It ' s not an anti Irish thing or me trying to disrespect other peoples culture . I ' d feel equally the same if Latin was a compulsory subject . Oh , and I ' ve never suggested that the Irish are so daft that they can ' t handle two languages , far from it . The Irish Educational system has it ' s faults but it ' s a dam site better system then some of our closes neighbors .
