    And What does it mean to be Irish?

    That does not mean we cannot discuss this matter.

    No that's exclusive to you, Posh Spice and Queen Elizzybeth's dead corgi. Strangely enough, they're all brits.

    Pfft what irishness is is a matter of perspective. Nationalistic people will have some patriotic meaning for it while people like me will think that it does'nt really matter!

    We had a culture...once.
    At one point Irish Law and Culture was the envy of the known world. From the ancient Greeks to the Romans- they all envied our ass.

    Now? Now we're shallow transparent d4-accented Bertieland, acting like we're rich as though to proove to the world we're not impoverished. Sucking american cock because we need their money. How long before we have a team in the world series?

    As for being Irish? I guess being Irish means not thinking in terms of your country so much as your county
