In technical terms, the Church of England has been in existence for well over a thousand years. If you're talking about the Church becoming Protestant, it was already beginning to happen in Henry VIII's time, and it was his son, Edward VI, who formally made it a Protestant church. Mary I tried to temporarily reverse it, but Elizabeth I fixed the CofE as a Protestant institution, with a Catholic-lite variant for those that dug that long-winded mass.
And even that era produced its own terrorists; Guy Fawkes and his gang of Catholic rebels who nearly succeeded in blowing Parliament up, and with that act the Catholics in England became the Muslims of the 17th century; distrusted, viewed as would-be traitors of dubious loyalty, with their loyalty towards Rome, practices of an alien faith, and it wasn't until the 19th century that Catholics were politically normalized again (and even then there were some rancor in some quarters about Catholic Emancipation).
They're both absurd anti-science denier groups. Both absurd, both unwilling or emotionally incapable of looking at the evidence, and both fundamentally pathetic.
Including trying to force them to abandon, you guessed, Catholicism. Catholicism wasn't the only cause of the Troubles, but saying it wasn't a part of the issue is like claiming the US Civil War wasn't about slavery. The fact was that the Irish viewed their culture as fundamentally Catholic, and viewed the Protestants in Ulster as unwanted criminal interlopers. Every war has its team colors, and in Ireland, the team colors are Catholic and Protestant
And of course you'll insist that the Gunpowder Plotters were also just coincidentally Catholic.
I love watching the extent to which people trying to make Islam into some sort of special case will partake of special pleading to try to let Christians of similar deeds off the hook.
Al Capone announces a new dividend program for people willing to stick bottles of gin in the trunk of the car and drive them across from Canada. Totally legit and totally risk-free!
Since when did anyone say the sun didn't have anything to do with warming. For fuck's sake, you fucking retard, it's the fact that CO2 absorbs solar radiation that IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM.
The one that has the vaguest idea what they're talking about. You're just a brainless AC of no particular skill, knowledge or ability, and thus your proclamations are utterly useless. In effect, you basically hastened the end of the universe by creating more entropy by wasting energy on the pure ignorance of your claim.
Hard work with low skills is doubtless just great. What a pity there are a lot less opportunities for that nowadays.
And I'm not resentful for me. I've got a good job. It's my kids who are being fucked over, and being told by assholes on the Internet "You millennials are all lazy whiners, now fuck off and give me my cheap health care!"
Ah yes, but the IRA were good clean Christian terrorists, so it was totally okay to allow them to enter the US to evade arrest and raise money for the "struggle" (which amounted as often as not to blowing up informants and random people for effect).
The problem is that Babyboomers are quick to blame millennials for being coddled, when Babyboomers were the recipients of probably the single largest wealth transfer in human history. So spare me the whole "I knew a guy who fought in Vietnam and sometimes I felt a little spooked about Brezhnev" line. The fact was that an unskilled Babyboomer could literally walk into a high paying unskilled job, with benefits and a big fat pension at the end of it, as well as relatively cheap education and housing to boot. That doesn't exist anymore, and the only thing Babyboomers can say is to pretend they're like their fathers and grandfathers, who did have to work their fucking asses off for relatively low pay.
Babyboomers are the luckiest human beings to have ever lived, and trying to retcon difficulty into their coddled lives beggars belief.
Because the Babyboomers weren't out shouting and protesting in their day. Of course they were, but in their day, college and university was a helluva lot cheaper.
I'm not saying there aren't low-skilled categories of employment that still pay well. Certainly there are, but in some cases (as with firefighters, for instance), there are other pretty challenges prerequisites that are likely going to eliminate a lot potential applicants. And while there will always be jobs, at least in the next several decades, where automation won't intrude, that pool of jobs will shrink, and each of those career paths has its own barriers are requirements, if nothing more than availability of jobs, that will not make them the sort of universal low skilled career paths that manufacturing once represented.
About the only way you're going to make it through a masters degree these days without a wealthy parent or accruing vast debts is to sell a wiener alright, but not one in a bun, and sadly there are a number of students out there that have turned to the sex trade as a means of keeping themselves out of debt.
And yet the argument we hear as automation is set to take over even more jobs is that people need to seek better educations. So which is it? Should people just avoid advanced education and hope the robots don't take over their low-skilled job next, or should they seek advanced education so they can maintain full employment even when the robots come?
It strikes me that a lot of people, like you, just sort of automatically regurgitate certain popular talking points, talking points that very likely have absolutely no relationship with reality. I call it "talkradioitis", this notion that some windbag on the AM dial or on Fox or CNN actually has, or even actually cares, whether the memes they're trying to get out there represent any kind of objective reality.
The fact is that the number of high-paid low skilled jobs have been shrinking for a few decades now, and they're not coming back, so if you think you're going to enter or remain in the middle class without some sort of higher education, then you are very a much fucking idiot, and if you're telling your kids or anyone else that they can just coast along and the likes of Donald Trump will take care of them, then you're something far worse than a fucking idiot.
The same group that voted for Trump in the US and Brexit in Britain. In both cases you have a bunch of self-entitled arseholes who literally had the world handed to them on a golden platter and either are ignorant of the woes of the younger generations, or actively despise the younger generations.
Purely anecdotally, but most of the people I see using PCs tend to do exactly that, have one window maximized, and any multitasking is via a task bar. Honestly, I doubt if a lot of regular users would care all that much that the device they're using only showed one window at a time. But I'm sure we'll either be seeing ChromeOS become a lot more common, or multiwindow controls being baked into Android.
There are different userland toolkits out there. Busybox and lightweight Bourne-like shells is pretty damned common in the embedded world. Are you saying a WRT54G isn't a Linux-based system because it doesn't have GNU tools? Who the hell cares what the userland looks like?

Aw, poor little delicate snowflake. "I don't wanna hear bad news, 'cause it makes me sad!"

Good. Some businesses shouldn't survive at all.

Yeah, it's totally a coincidence that the IRA were all Catholics. Nothing to do with religion whatsoever...
Because all the millennials are doing that! YEssirree, every last one of them.
And my view on US health care is that the only way to deliver what everyone obviously wants is single payer.
Hard work with low skills is doubtless just great. What a pity there are a lot less opportunities for that nowadays.

US: That's okay, we can ship you back or hold you in a cell at our pleasure. Tell your wife to take all the time she needs to find that fob.

I don't know about you, but "I'll write a CLI interface using ncurses to track the killer's IP address" doesn't have quite the same zing!
Well I don't know about you, but I think I need to write a GUI interface using VisualBasic to track the killers IP address!

The Babyboomers never dealt with world wars or Depressions. Their parents did.
