    When soccer fans call themselves Mancs and Scousers despite being from Ireland.

    Or calling each other Manc scum or Scouse scum. Scum how? You're both plumbers from Leixlip or something. You went to school together.

    Absolutely. The rest of the world, including tens of thousands of Irish men, were off fighting the Germans but the 'glorious' leaders of the revolution were buying arms from and doing deals with the Germans. Yey, what a glorious thing to celebrate. It's a shameful episode in our history, not something to celebrate.

    The inevitable inferiority laden "so what do you think of Ireland *please tell us we're great* ?" asked of every visiting actor, sports person, etc on every RTE chat show ever.

    Nobody's glossing over anything. You're right, we lost the 1916 rising. But we got most of our independance as a result. Its YOU who's doing the Paddywhackery.

    Really, not glossing over anything? Hahahaha, I don't recall ever hearing any mention of the Germans when the Easter rising is discussed. But hey, keep believing in the success of it, maybe one day you'll meet the faerie folk and some leprechauns too.:D I needed a good laugh and your post provided it. :)

    Mick Wallace
    US Presidents coming to Ireland being treated like a 2nd coming of Jesus Christ
    John Waters

    In fairness to Dustin, that wasn't cringeworthy -- it was parody. There's a bit of a difference. Nobody expected him to win. Everyone voted for him to go to highlight the mockery that that competition has become.

    Things in the media where people feel ashamed because Ireland fighting for it's independence or any other aspect of Ireland history.It happened no point discussing it and whinging about it anymore as you can't change the past.

    Can't think of any other country in the world where people are embarassed by attempts to gain independence for their country.

    People think we should have fought the Brit's on their own terms rather than being sneaky . If I was fighting someone much bigger than me on the street I'd go straight for the balls as would anybody with any sense.

    Most notable example: 'Our national anthem is too violent and anti-British!'

    Ignoring the fact it's not particularly violent in tone (Look at the lyrics of the French one) and it's not nearly as anti-British as the US national anthem. But of course, in these people's minds, Irish nationalism is vile and offensive in a way that that of other nations isn't.

    Every visitor of note being forced to pose awkwardly with a pint of Guinness.

    Every time the likes of Wallace, Daly, Collins, Murphy or any random Shinner get to speak in our national parliament.

    You never hear any uk presenter asking if a foreign celeb likes Britain or if they tried British beer yet or if they have any British ancestors.
