Comedy Central blocked outside US (Sift Talk Post)
If it's blocking everything outside the UK or Europe, I suppose you could try one of these:

How about non-US sites that block US like BBC/Channel4?

Yeeeeeah, it's about time we start being okay with hitting girls. Equality and all that.
It's ok. You can be happy on the inside.

Where's a Romanian cop when you need one?
I think any one of those guys would have been well within their rights to push her over or something. I despise women (not that this thing could testify to being a woman) who think they can hit men and have no comeback, it's the worst kind of sexist bullshit!
Thanks for the link Probie, I'd never seen that one before
CGP Grey - What Is The United Kingdom Explained

It's description is definitely the Republic of Ireland, or Poblacht na hÉireann in Irish: "Article 2", Republic of Ireland Act, 1948. "It is hereby declared that the description of the State shall be the Republic of Ireland."
That said, the name of the country is Ireland or Éire.
>> ^Deano:
Just watching this again I'm pretty sure it's NOT The Republic of Ireland, just Ireland. IIRC.
My life for Éire.

Deano is correct, the name is Ireland if you are speaking english, the name is Eire if you are ag caint as gaelige (speaking in Irish).
Apparently the author was unaware of the significance of orange for northern Ireland in the youtube comments, slightly controversial lol

The entire island that contains Northern Ireland is Ireland. The country that makes up the part of the island that's not Northern Ireland is The Republic of Ireland.
I did some more research and it does seem that you and @Deano are correct after all. "Republic of Ireland is a description in use since 1948.
For anyone who is curious, here's a link to the Republic of Ireland Act, 1948, which establishes "Republic of Ireland" as the state's description.
I do have to say being able to call the Irish state "The Republic of Ireland" sure would be handy for differentiating from the island. I suppose there's nothing stopping you, though. It's technically correct to refer to it as "the republic of Ireland" even if that's not its name. It's no different than saying "the state of New York".

Wait... but you never told us whether or not English people make fun of us for using them incorrectly.
That was the whole reason I watched.
I can't speak for the English... But I'm Welsh and it really gets my back up being called English...

If he's going to be pedantic, he should know those aren't Venn diagrams (those by definition have to show ALL possible combinations of sets) but a Euler diagram.
Er, that's you being pedantic, not him.

If someone says to me "are you British?" I always correct them. For me it doesn't make much sense. I'm English. The only time we're British is at the Olympics, for some reason. I think we win more medals that way.
Haha! Oh I'm so glad it's not just me who feels like that, I was starting to feel like a pedant

What places? You can't just say it's not accurate in places and then not say where. Show your workings.
