    Overly proud of being irish or genuine.
    For the americans they cling to any tenuous connection to ireland. For thr nordies they hate to be reminded they live in a different country.

    Are you trying to make a point or are you just dealing in idiotic generalizations

    Some Nordies!

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
