WOULD YOU DIE FOR IRELAND?.

Paddy Samurai

Just curious
I notice in other threads people talking about what makes them proud to be irish ,patriotism etc.Giving the current situation and the shower in government.
If we were invaded tomorrow .Would you ?

(A)Put your life on the line to fight the invader as other irishmen have in our past.
OR
(B)Welcome them with open arms and say bugger ireland

Many other countries still pride themselves on been willing to fight and die for their country.Apart from the obvious ,family,friends,self ,etc. What in Ireland would you fight and die for.

Mena

Depends on who the invaders are and whether or not they can run the country better than the current shower...

keane2097

No fúck that imo - I don't even like the place.

We'd be lucky if someone took it off our hands.

hullaballoo

What, and miss out on the opportunity to have a proper government?

Kylie ireland, possibly. :pac:

Christ no...could you imagine the shame of it?

Poccington

I'd die for Ireland.

It will always have a place in my heart, regardless of how bad or good things are going. It helped make me who I am today and will have a hand in what I become as I get older. So if it came to it, I'd die while serving under it's flag.

The Pirates of the Caribbean could run this country better.... O wait, they weren't real.....

Jack Sheehan

Personally, I'm dying over you already.

deadhead13

Their welcome to it.

Not a chance.

I've never understood how people say they are proud to be Irish. It's not like you have a choice in the matter, you're simply born here.

Holsten

No, not a chance in hell.

Not a chance.

Aldebaran

Hell to the no!

Diabhal Beag

I would but only if I would be able to see the credit I get for it when I die. Otherwise I consider the OP to be a death-threat

artanevilla

In a heartbeat.

thelordofcheese

I always thought the point of war was not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his?

Patton didn't know what he was talking about :pac:

Professey Chin

Only from natural causes since thats how im goin anyway.
That way i never have to do anything but still get remembered as a hero :pac:

why are the only options die for your country or welcome the invaders with open arms?

What would I do? I'd find a nice comfy fence, and sit on it til other people sorted out the mess!

I'd crawl through a mile of her sh1t just to see where it came from.



I would fight for Ireland, in fact I would set up a proper resistance Movement, then fight the new lads, and then take over the country and install true intellectuals as our Leaders.

No more elections though, the Irish people have shown time and time again they can't be trusted to pick their own government.

Redpunto

I would die for my family, ireland.....dont think so

Not always simple, my ma went through 96 hours of labour.:P

and yet you have word RUSH in your user name. Oh the irony

There's thousands of Brits over in the Middle East risking their lives to pretty much save the world from terrorism. Each of them could be back living their life in the UK. If there was a risk of my nationality, the nationality of my future kids, etc. being taken away I'd certainly be risking my life to fight for it.

Kold

No.

MagicMarker

I wouldn't die for Ireland.

However, if I had the chance to go back to being a 16 year old, I would have seriously thought about joining the defence forces, be it Irish or British. Not to defend any country in particular, but to make a ''difference'', not that it would work out that way.

****, you'd better tell that tool Padraig Pearse.

jester77

Are we talking 32 counties here... because dying for 26 of them has already been done!!

I wouldn't dye my hair for Ireland.

The Saint

Would I die for Ireland? No, but I'd happily sacrifice you and your family for it.

Bullsh1t, its more than a case of "your simply born here", the people around you molded your character, your way of thinking, basically who you are . You were raised as an Irish person, and you'd probably be a much different person if you were raised in Japan or America or wherever.

Id defend my country and be willing to die for it, just because our government is a mess doesnt mean its worth abandoning our people as a culture or nation.
Im shocked with the amount of people saying not a chance.
The funny thing is Im not even a nationalist and was never into the RA etc, I even voted yes for the lisbon treaty.

In fairness, he was never under the illusion that he had a chance against the Brits.

sunnyjim

I would die for Ireland. Complain as we all may, our families live great lives compared to how they could be living under some foreign invaders rule.

As it stands now, I'm more likely to die for Queen and Country sooner

KieranKennedy

Well if the request was written in capital letters I would consider it

galwayrush

Just asked the wife, she said NO.;)

I saw that freak pouring the blood of patriots on his azalias.

KnifeWRENCH

Yeah, I probably would. Although I'd never ever go anywhere near a war otherwise - Ireland being invaded is the only thing that would ever make me want to join the army.

Not that I'd be any use anyway.

But I said I'd die as well

Can I stop being a girls blouse now?

IHATELIBERTAS

yes

sneakerfreak

OPs question is meaningless really,we have been invaded and a foreign nation occupies roughly a third of our island and it is obvious that very little Irish are willing to die for their country.

Apparently the Provos werent willing to die or kill much either once they had some sterling handed over to them and got to drive some expensive cars.

IHATELIBERTAS

good point. reading up on the british occupation of this country and they really really really did oppress us.
