It's not Germans or Austrains who only should feel guilty. Everyone being a human being has to be ashamed

what is morris dancing??? who was moriss though?

Wikipedia:
A Morris dance is a form of folk dance.
Cotswold Morris with handkerchiefsThere are records mentioning the Morris Dance dating back to 1477, and it is mentioned in Renaissance documents in France, Italy, and Spain. The origins of the term are uncertain, but one of the most widely accepted theories is that the term was "moorish dance" and "Moresco", which was gradually corrupted to "Morris Dance". Another is that it derives from the Romanian "morisca", which means "little mill". Another, perhaps simpler, explanation is that "Morris" comes from the Latin "Mores", meaning "a custom". This is consistent with the word (with various archaic spellings) sometimes being used to describe some other folk customs such as folk plays...

Well said. Much better this time. Though I think that no matter if you think its right or wrong, certainly we all have the right to feel the way we want, even if it is what some preceive to be a misplaced guilt. Now lets all just move along and leave this ugliness behind.

Every Christmas round here they have a morris dance in an old theatre - they do bits of it mixed in with other midieval english celebrations. a little bit goes along way but it is relaxing and pretty solemn.

I've been saying "get off my lawn you damn kids" for years.
