Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  ☘️ Watch out, sometimes treasure comes in the most unassuming of packages! And sometimes those packages are sealed in tortoise-proof shrink wrap!?

Reduction in soybean production costs attracts Bungoma youths

In Kenya, young people account for nearly 75 per cent of the population, with unemployment being a massive problem.

They did a multi-year study once on the nutrition of potatoes. They found that people can survive on just potatoes and milk if needed. Contains all needed amino acids, proteins, etc. It was a really big study involving thousands of people. It's called Ireland.

Okay, I want to talk about Ireland

Specifically I want to talk about the famine

About the fact that there never really was one

There was no famine

See Irish people were only allowed to eat potatoes

All of the other food

Meat, fish, vegetables

Were shipped out of the country under armed guard

To England while the Irish people starved

And then, in the middle of all this

They gave us money not to teach our children Irish

And so we lost our history

And this is what I think is still hurting me

You see we're like a child that's been battered

Has to drive itself out of it's head because it's frightened

Still feels all the painful feelings

But they lose contact with the memory

And this leads to massive self-destruction

Alcoholism, drug addiction

All desperate attempts at running

And in it's worst form

Becomes actual killing

And if there ever is gonna be healing

There has to be remembering

And then grieving

So that there then can be forgiving

There has to be knowledge and understanding

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

An American army regulation

Says you mustn't kill more than ten percent of a nation

'Cause to do so causes permanent psychological damage

It's not permanent but they didn't know that

Anyway, during the supposed famine

We lost a lot more than ten percent of our nation

Through deaths on land or on ships of emigration

But what finally broke us was not starvation

No, it's use in the controlling of our education

Schools go on about "Black 47"

On and on about, "The terrible famine"

But what they don't say is in truth

There really never was one

All the lonely people

(I'm sorry, excuse me)

Where do they all come from?

(In fact, I can tell you in one word)

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

So let's take a look, shall we?

The highest statistics of child abuse in the EEC

And we say we're a Christian country

But we've lost contact with our history

See, we used to worship God as a mother

We're sufferin' from post traumatic stress disorder

Look at all our old men in the pubs

Look at all our young people on drugs

We used to worship God as a mother

Now look at what we're doing to each other

We've even made killers of ourselves

The most child-like trusting people in the Universe

And this is what's wrong with us

Our history books the parent figure, lied to us

I see the Irish

As a race like a child

That got itself bashed in the face

And if there ever is gonna be healing

There has to be remembering

And then grieving

So that there then can be forgiving

There has to be knowledge and understanding

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

And how do we keep our balance

How do we keep our balance

How do we keep our balance

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

I get why potatoes are popularly associated with Ireland and to a lesser extent other parts of Europe, but it's a bit messed up that most people will think potatoes were originally cultivated in Ireland and not ancient Peru and Bolivia like they actually are

[thegroundhogdidit]

me: *reading book about the irish potato famine for class*

book: the type of starvation suffered by the irish in 1845 would be UNTHINKABLE today

me, looking over at palestine: yeah........ unthinkable
