[Happy Irish National day everyone!]

We may as well admit it, we'd be better off still living under the crown. Sure we read British bloody newspapers, avidly watch British television, buy anything and everything in British shops and avidly support British football clubs. Not to mention the fact that under British rule that shower of traitors in Fianna Fail wouldn't have had the chance to plunge us into civil war, and let's not mention the rest...

Apologies but I find the whole 'be proud to be Irish' bull that always comes around this time of year to be complete and utter bollox.

Why should I be proud to be part of a tinpot island off the west coast of Europe who's main claim to fame is to be a nation of 'craic' loving alcoholics.

No I'm not proud, in fact I'm bloody ashamed.

Given all of the American crap you buy, shouldn't you be the 51st state? An island nation with weird corporate tax policies and a stagnant economy: you would be like another Puerto Rico (well, except for the whole tropical paradise thing). Viva los irlandeses! :rolleyes:

Sisko · 17-03-2011 05:28AM

Terrible thread, where the feck do you self hating ******'s come from?

Read a history book, the amount of Irish that died and suffered under British rule is unreal.

As ****ed as we are we're still one of the top nations on this planet to live in and we've been far better off as a country free from the UK. Just cause things are "hard" now.

Also with your logic sure we may as well all join the american empire, UK included since we watch so many american movies. :rolleyes:

Ashamed? Ashamed we didn't militarily rape half the planet? The hell is wrong with people like you...

Perhaps we should, hell knows we surely are incapable of looking after ourselves.

Ah I'm just sick of the hipocracy that most Irish people seem to live there lives by. Perhaps the fact that I'm just home from a pub full of plastic ra men may have coloured my somewhat cynical and bitter view of this island most of us live on.

J. Marston · 17-03-2011 05:30AM

If you feel that strongly and are so ashamed, leave. Go. Exit. Depart.

Piss off.

sandmanporto · 17-03-2011 05:35AM

I am proud to be Irish.
If you all argue against Ireland today, that's very Irish of you!

Its just facts man.

Again the whole "I so badly don't wanna be seen as a RA head I'm gonna go so far as to HATE everything Irish" attitude comes out.

You can like Ireland and not be a RA head you know..... :rolleyes:

Well in that case I assume you have a fully functioning keyboard in front of you, so please do us all a favour, and use it

Jimmy Garlic · 17-03-2011 05:38AM

Ireland, the so called "republic", is and always was
a joke. It is and always was a proxy state since its so called independence.

proud 2 be a southsider? ye defo

we rule this country anyway

P_1 · 17-03-2011 05:40AM

To the sad deluded irish still clinging to Dev the traitor's idea of comely maidens at the crossroads, I pity you.

There's a reason why all the successful irish are successful. WE GOT THE **** OUT!

I write this as I pack my bags for a more successful life.

We're far from friendly,
we're very expensive,
we have have really bad weather,
boring unimpressive scenery,
backwards laws on alcohol, drugs, blasphemy, assault and driving etc.
and the nightlife is crap because 3/4's of the country won't talk to anyone outside their group.

We let scumbags on full welfare with 50 convictions walk out of the courtroom, there's no jobs and the educated are leaving. We have no way of getting out of this situation because all our competitive advantages are gone, we have a weak government, alot of negative equity and our population is growing older.

I could go and on and on and on about Ireland but I'm still proud of the country because of it's past.. People love the Irish but a snapshot of the country at the moment leaves much to be desired. If it weren't for history and we were rated as a country right now, who in there right mind would love us and celebrate paddy's day all around the world.

Ah the old, "Saying what the english did to us in the past is wrong means your not allowed to like modern england, english people, its entertainment or sports and should always boycott everything english or your a hypocrite" logic the self haters come out with.

Sigh...

Happy paddys day man.
