Why do I find an anti-English thread on after hours on a weekly basis?

No problem, I don't want there to be any more confusion.

I'm not sure what depresses me more: having to read the misinformed bull**** spouted in this thread or the fact that some people seem to believe it.

I hear you, to read some idiots spew rubbish about '700+ years of oppression' is cringe-inducing...it's amazing, no matter where you are in the world, those who use the history book to justify ignorance or racism are usually those who don't particularly understand history and believe what they learned in 1st or 2nd level education is all that is needed for a lifetime of flag-waving.

I didn't expect any less from some of the posters on here. Justification on racism, making personal comments about me (kstanl, I suppose I should just post a couple of these so your intellect can grasp what I'm saying holds gravitas :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: did you know that adding sarcastic smileys adds meaning and support to the filth that you're spewing out?).

Your remarks of saying it's Ironic saying that I won't get over being called English this, have no real basis. I've been called these names since 2001, English rule ended in the 20's, I think the incidents that happened to me are a little more.. recent?. :rolleyes: (stressing my point kstanl style). Whitewashman mate, do me a favour and lock the thread as I'm sick of having to reply to people who've turned this thread into a personal dissection of my character (i.e. being told I have psychological problems :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: , I suppose I imagined the abuse in the high school here, the abuse on the nights out, the ignorance by a shopkeeper in Athy who pretended not to hear me when I started speaking and proceeding to serve everyone else, the ignorance of the people in the gaeltacht in mayo who practically accused me of the famine.

I hold no allegiance to either England or Ireland, I think the mentality of the average person on the street in both countries is identical, uninformed. I never said the English gave me any easier time of it. Ah **** this, whatever I say will be endlessly quoted and misinterpreted/misconstrued and analysed with stupid comments followed by a few :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I've addressed everything you've asked me to address. My point on this issue, if you had even bothered to read my posts before going off on a rant, was that anti-English sentiment (beyond a bit of jovial rhetoric) is very hard to come by these days. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I am saying that you're persecution complex is pitiful and sad.

That's your experience. I see it everywhere.

Ok this thread is a stain on this fine messageboard, locked.
