        That doesn’t really seem very equivalent. The closest equivalence I can think of is either the terrorism of the founding fathers, which is too far back to really strike the same chord, or maybe like, american drone strikes or something. Or, maybe if I was feeling particularly cheeky, I might compare it to the violence enacted by the civil rights movement, since that was also a domestic american liberation movement maybe comparable to the IRA, but, I dunno. not really any american style equivalence there.

          Super Sweet

          Tell me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is without telling me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is.

            …Irish car bombs have Bailey’s Irish Cream and possibly coffee liqueur in them. Many people would say that’s a pretty sweet drink.

            You sure you’re not thinking of an Irish Boilermaker? That’s just a beer with Irish whiskey.

              I think this is a regional thing, as you just made me doubt myself.

              I’ve ordered car bombs here in the Midwest and it’s always been whiskey and a stout. I don’t know if I’d call anything with just coffee liqueur in it a “car bomb” that’s not a very strong drink.

              A quick Wikipedia check says it can be either Irish cream or whiskey, and that the names are somewhat interchangeable.

              Wow, you’re pleasant.

              See, where I’m from, a carbomb is a cocktail made from beer and hard liquor. We’ve got Chicago carbombs/handshakes which is Malort and Old Style. I’ve even had a Mexican carbomb with tequila and Modelo.

              Coffee liqueur and beer isn’t really a thing where I’m from, in the heart of corn country. So you’re the one drinking milk shakes at the bar as far as I’m concerned.

              Maybe instead of being a dick to people because of where they happen to live, you could try to learn about cultural and regional differences.
