A little bit of disrespect for the true meaning of the places which could have been researched and commented upon by the author. A lot of these names (in fact all) are English bastardizations of Irish words that rendered them meaningless. Kill is the Irish word for Church and has absolutely no connotations of violence for Gaelic speakers. I realize that the article was meant to be tongue-in-cheek but with no contextual framework it becomes a little offensive.
