WOULD YOU DIE FOR IRELAND?.

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.

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

keane2097 · 04-02-2009 08:34PM

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

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

hullaballoo · 04-02-2009 08:35PM

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

With our current government no, but it depends who the invaders are.

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

Poccington · 04-02-2009 08:38PM

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 · 04-02-2009 08:39PM

Personally, I'm dying over you already.

deadhead13 · 04-02-2009 08:41PM

Their welcome to it.

04-02-2009 08:41PM

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 · 04-02-2009 08:43PM

No, not a chance in hell.

Aldebaran · 04-02-2009 08:49PM

Hell to the no!

Diabhal Beag · 04-02-2009 08:52PM

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 · 04-02-2009 08:52PM

In a heartbeat.

thelordofcheese · 04-02-2009 08:57PM

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

Professey Chin · 04-02-2009 09:02PM

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:

04-02-2009 09:04PM

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 · 04-02-2009 09:08PM

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

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.
