ED ANGER SAYS: I HATE THE IRISH!

I’m madder than a leprechaun with a crooked shillelagh about St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day is the stupidest holiday of the year, because the Irish are the craziest people on earth, next to the Paleostynians and those nutcase A-rabs. The Irish are basically just Mexicans who speak English.
Why are we having a big parade for a bunch of weirdos who pray to the Pope, believe in fairies and blow each other up?

I know my history, and this great country of ours was founded by Pilgrims and Puritans and other Protestants, not weirdo Catholics like the Irish. If it had been, the Statue of Liberty would be the Virgin Mary!

All the Irish do is get drunk and sing sad songs about dropping dead. Once a year, we let them march down the street, all boozed up on their disgusting warm brown beer. Then they stuff themselves with potatoes and cabbage and stink up the place!

Potato-eating, beer-puking Pope-lovers, that’s what they are!

What have the Irish ever done for America? They stuck us with those damn Kennedys, that’s what. Between their Old Man the crooked bootlegger, down to fat Teddy boy, that family is an embarrassment, not to mention a danger to public safety! Ralph Nader fellow should’ve left General Motors alone and gone after the Kennedys. Their cars should have warning labels instead of bumper stickers.
When St. Patrick’s Day rolls around, don’t get tricked by all the booze and the songs, my fellow Americans. It’s all part of an evil Jesuit plot to help the Vatican take over America! So stay away from all those crazy parades or you’ll end up praying to the wrong Jesus!

  1. I have two possible responses to this. If you are targeting Irish Americans (you know, the people who failed in Ireland and their pathtic descendents) then I love you and everything you do. If, however, you are targeting the real Irish, (god's chosen) I lose my sense of humour and now despise you.

  3. You can thank the Irish for all of these posts. Irish monks preserved literacy and are the only reason we can read and right. So pick up a copy of "How The Irish Saved Civilization"

  6. Absolutely brilliant piece! I can't stand the way the Irish and all their descendants are so bloody pleased with themselves. We're celebrating a race of pathetic, self-loathing drunkards with criminal tendencies. No wonder the planets in the state it's in. All Irish emigres I've ever met are up to no good. Get back there if you like it that much!

    • It's not the Irish it's the Irish Americans … they were the ones to murder African Americans while simultaneously forgetting about their own troubles here in the US as both Anglo and Scotch Irish . Irish Americans delude themselves to anything – they believe that they are the better Irish and at the same time somehow they are able to drink on St. Patrick's Day . They lived with a righteous indignation to be criminalistic , never outwardly Irish , yet they mingle amongst themselves exclusively outwardly displaying this spirit . They're criminalistic and mongrel , but the latter describes them better – they're rabid-deluded stray mongrels assailing and humping everywhere all the while being upmostly proud of and showing off their illgotten German physical aspects in parties and all the while outwardly hinting " Irish " when devising .
      Remember it isn't the " white " people who murdered the Africans – it was the Irish … ALL IRISH …. no Germans .

  7. you're all a bunch of retards. stop wasting so much time on here and find each other, kill each other and let the rest of us move on. i'm irish and i loathe all of you.

  8. I agree with the original poster. I wouldn't hate the Irish at all if they wouldn't act like they are something special. The Irish have done nothing at all throughout history except get drunk, come up with horrible sounding folk music, and think they are important for some reason. That is what gets me: Irish have pride over NOTHING. You have done nothing, you are nothing. They were always militarily weak and played no major role in any World War (all they did was get conquered by England). The Irish are known throughout history as being rather unskilled (I've even had Irish Americans admit this to me). Ireland's history is just plain lame.

    • Pretty sad,the Irish are worthless and have done nothing throughout history?So the Irish have never contributed to massive bloodshed in modern history ,they have never invaded a single country,they have been oppressed and persecuted for almost a thousand years,came close to being wiped out,and now they are thriving,have a successful democracy and government,and have completely dedicated their armed forces to peacekeeping.Trying to clean the mess the colonial powers caused.They speak the most ancient language, Gaelic.The legends and culture have been inspirations to the arts,the monks of Ireland in ancient times spread Christianity throughout the world and preserved literature and the arts in the Dark Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire,and have a love for the land and nature only Green Peace could rival.Are the amongst the greatest poets,storytellers and musicians.They have the richest history in the world and have fought for their freedom for centuries and won it from Great Britain at the HEIGHT of its military and imperial power after they forced them out militarily?So they are worthless and pathetic.What you fools have said only reflects upon yourselves.And the Irish are not pushing St.Patricks Day upon you,the majority of Americans want to embrace it,it is a time for them to forget about their troubles,the recession and the pains of everyday living.So put that in your pipe and smoke you stupid peasants

  9. And what is with Irish Americans trying to push their pathetic holiday of St. Patrick's Day (which is nothing more than an excuse to get wasted in the US) on others? They are trying to make it a national holiday in America, and that should never happen. I don't see too many German-Americans, Italian-Americans, French-Americans, or anyone else trying to push their national holidays on Americans, so why do the worthless Irish feel they have to? Their mentality is "Well, we're here, and we've done nothing throughout history………let's celebrate over it! In case you can't figure it out, I HATE IRISH PEOPLE!

  14. I don't know where to begin,I literally don't . The number of ignorant , stupid and inaccurate comments beggars belief
    First , the lack of historical knowledge is breathtaking. The Irish preserved both christianity and literacy after the fall of Rome,and established centres of learning as far south as Bobbio in Italy and as far east as Kiev in modern day Ukraine. Without the missionary and scholastic vigour of the Irish , Europe would have remained a desolate and illiterate civilisation.Several cities in France,Germany and Switzerland can trace their origins back to Irish missionary foundations
    America has been immeasurably enriched by the tremendous number of sons and daughters of Ireland , that built America and gave her her character. From the revolutionary war, to the present , America has relied upon and has been led by Irish soldiers, generals, and presidents.
    Do any of those who criticise the Irish even know of John Barry,the father of the American navy,who defeated the British navy in the American war of independence? I doubt such mental pygmies knowledge would stretch that far.

  15. The Irish have been very active in the field of science to name a few , Robert Boyle, father of modern chemistery -Boyles law,George Johnstone ,discoverer of the electron. Earnest Walton ,nobel prize in physics for the transmutation of the atomic nuceli (splitting the atom)
    In technology, Nicholas Callen, the induction coil, John Holland first true submarine for the U.S. navy.Louis Brennan ,guided missile. Hypodermic syringe, Francis Rynd.James Drumm,the nickle-zinc battery.James Martin,aircraft ejector seat. Harry Ferguson, the modern tractor.Radiation therapy,John Joly There are literally thousands of patents registered by Irish people every year. Ireland is second only to the U.S.as a producer of software.Much of the technology, software and electronic that is used by the U.S . military is developed by Irish companies. Almost 100,000 Americans are employed in America by Irish companies .The Irish have,on average , a higher education level than Americans ,more than 60% have college education. Ireland is among the leading 10 countries that invest in America, this is remarkable for a very small country of 4 million.

  16. The only people in the world who believe in Lephrechauns are Americans.This is not surprising since Americans know little green men exist,sure ain't they all hiding in area 51.Well apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell is convinced , but wait Mitchell that's Irish isn't it , maybe thats why he's telling stories about little green men.Better watch out for anyone called Mitchell, wicked tricksters who will lure you in with their lucky charms, I fear .

  18. Hello. I'm 14 years old. I was born here in the United States, in Connecticut. My Dad's parents came over from Ireland on a boat. My Mom is also half Irish. My name is Kaitlin Marie Glynn. I see that there actually to my suprise, racists – mad about MY "mick" descent. I find this so freaking funny! So, my Dad doesn't have an accent but he's full blown Irish. If Irish people are so useless than how come my Dad is making over half a million in salary, selling life insurance, as normal as any other American. (He was born in the US – connectitcut.) LOL yea to amuse everyone even more, guess what my birthday is! St. Patty's day! yup, March 17, 1995. Now, I don't look much into my history. I know that my last name had "Mc" infront of it, which is pretty cool. Haha, so someone said we don't have pride over anything – like hell we do.

  19. The Irish are a nation that should be admired. They originated from a tiny persecuted island, travalled around the world and worked. They built America ! Australia and even built a large portion of modern day England!
    The only people that hate the Irish are trailer trash right wing idiots. They feel threatened by success, which is why they usally also hate the Jewish people.

  20. "Irish people are useless" lol lol lol Funny who they played a major part in the US war of independence and went on to build and rule the greatest country in the World. The USA!
    The British are the ones that are usless… they made a mess of everything they touched. Even in WW2 it was us the americans (many Irish americans) that saved their ass. Ireland is for the Irish get the Brits out!
    The Irish are the true master race!

    • the irish who fought for u s independance were presbyterians from the north,mostly christian men,there is no mention of the pope or mary in the declaration.the irish you are talking about came over here 150 years later starving,not much pioneering spirit among them,it seems they were just out for themselves and what they could milk.good laborers but thank God they had no part in the founding of this country.

  21. Right…
    I'm going to stick a big barbed fence halfway down America. Invade your country, Start a War.take your land, slaughter hundreds of thousands, kill your language,

      41st President 1989–93: County Wexford historians have found that his now apparent ancestor, Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke (known as Strongbow for his arrow skills) – is remembered as a desperate, land-grabbing warlord whose calamitous foreign adventure led to the suffering of generations. Shunned by Henry II, he offered his services as a mercenary in the 12th-century invasion of Wexford in exchange for power and land. He would die from a festering ulcer in his foot, which his enemies said was the revenge of Irish saints whose shrines he had violated.

  23. Sorry to rant on but English people are sick and tired of Irish (and Scottish) racisim/nationalism against us. Where Ireland is concerned, this comes predominantly, almost exclusively infact, from DUBLIN. It seems we open our arms to these countries, because after all they are our nearest neighbours, alot of us have Irish ancestry etc, we are generally very fond of the country…. but strangely we don't get the reciprocated sentiment back (World/European Cup anybody???)…. Either get on with it and live here like/with the rest of us or piss off!!!!!
    And ffs don't bring up the 'history'….OMG if we all carried on like that, none of us would be speaking to Germans or practically anyone else in the world for that matter. 3 words: GET. OVER. IT. You want to live in a black person's shoes for just a week and then see how you feel about prejudice. And no I'm not black and tbh I don't want to patronise black people by even making a comparison. I'm actually a quarter Irish myself. But if there really is a book entitled How The Irish Saved Civilization, I think it's time to start beng very afraid indeed.

I'm 14.I was born in london in 1995 and my mother is irish and my father is english.Well he was born there but his father is from trinidad and tobago and his mother is from south africa.He's black and my mother has blond hair and quite pale.Yes i look very intresting,where do u se a red head with tanned skin and jet black eyes…people say i'm really preety every day…it actually gets quite annoying.Anyway i dont know why everyone is allways so stereotypical of the irish.From like one movie where the irish person(who wasnt even irish and had a TERRIIBLE irish accent)and all they did in it was swear,drink and fight.When the people who probally made that movie and believed in that rubbish are some what irish.The irish having being persecuted for many years and dont forget the famine which nearly wiped out the entire population,eaither dying or emmigrating.Before the famine the population was 8.5 million and now its only 4 million,we still havn't recovered from it in the 1800's.I moved to Ireland to the south in kerry (its georgeous!) in 2002 from london so my accent is kinda strange…a mixture between the two.So what the irish drink,doesn't every race drink??and no i have never seen any irish fight in bars or on the streets and our cities look a lot like your cities all with the same chain stores.In ireland St.Patricks day is a national holiday and we get a day off school woohoo for it.The parade consists mainly of children in their footbal,dance,art classes and people really dont get drunk and fight during the parade..i mean seriously…what century are u living in?Also no offence to any americans,i want to move to LA when i'm older.The standard of education is a lot lower.From americans that i know that moved to ireland,The school work that americans do in their senior year of high school,we do at the age of eleven and twelve.Like simultaneous equations,i learnt how to do them and algebra when i was 11 in school.Also there is no easy "multiple choice" questions in our exams.They ask u a wuestion and u better know what the answer is plus you have to learn loads of essays off.So nobody can say that irish people can't read or write because the have been since hey were four years old.I'm sure that not all americans arn't like this of course.This freak on the computer just doesnt have a life and gets his opinion of the irish from stupid stereo type movies that got some one scottish to do the irish accent.And i think more than half the world can claim to have irish decent…even you…and that's quite scary.

  25. I've never gotten the whole "Luck of the Irish" thing. What's so lucky about them? They got conquered by England like 6 times in 2000. Seriously, They are almost as sad as the French who haven't won a war in over 2000 years.

What about the great artists, writers, musicians and poets like Joyce, Yeats, Kavanagh and Montague that have come out of Ireland? What about the Book of Kelts, Newgrange… Not all Irish people drink. Not all Irish people are religious. And from my experiences of America, we sure as hell are not as ignorant.

  32. these protestants that formed the state came from Ireland. well the North of Ireland, many from the six counties which today remain in the UK. But Irish nonetheless, many expressed an identity seperate to Britain which can be seen in the American WoI and the 1798 rebellion here.
    Irish Americans came in two waves, first was the Irish Scots/Protestant Irish which were central to the founding of the States, and the second being the Irish Catholic wave after the famine, who which have played an integral part in the American society since.

  34. Irish ppl are useless, Ha Ha, What you gotta realise is that the majority of people on the Island consider themselves Irish not "Northern Irish" or "republic of Irish" and no matter how much you try to say otherwise that isnt going to change. Best bet is to get on with life and try and live together. By the way does someone who was Irish before partition all of a sudden become northern irish afterwards because the British government says so?? I think not. If you want to start playing the old childish games of the past, why dont the people who are british head off back to britain and join the rest of your brethren. The Irish were there first…. LOL

    The Irish played no part in the murder of african americans, i seem to remember africans where sent to the Caribeen by various other Europeans none of which were Irish.

To say that they have contributed nothing to the world is very ignorant. I never understand why people have such strong opinions about things they clearly know nothing about. Your article shows that you are ignorant, aggressive, and hate filled. I would like to point out that most Americans are more educated that this author, and do not actually believe cliches. Some of the American posters here have done nothing for the stereotype of Americans as ignorant about other countries, loud mouths, and rude.

  57. if the Irish ruled America then wouldn't it be a Catholic country but in fact it is protestant! 51% of americans that claim to have Irish ancestry in fact don't as their ancestors were indeed ulster-scots. Fact- the Irish supported the Nazi's in the second world war hence the POPE being in the Nazi youth so why would anyone desire to be Irish or associated with the country. I mean the IRA, tatties,guinness,famine ridden is all the Irish are good for. They sing songs about the famine and feel sorry for themselves but no wonder the POPE loving,-child abusing priests are the way they are. Those people in Northern Ireland that say they are "IRISH" should scurry off back down South and leave the protestant community alone-what are they still doing there, its not as if the Ulster people are going to surrender they haven't since 1690 to be precise and they ain't about to give up now. All the irish have ever done is emigrate. Scotland is ridden with people of Irish ancestry. St patrick's day is a way of the Irish to say "WE ARE POPE LOVING MURDERERS-UNITED IRELAND" LOL a complete waste of time.

The Irish supported the Nazi's? xD its called being neutral i.e. not taking sides. and for the most part the Nazis were actually incredible, they were the first to begin designing the nuclear bomb, they designed the hydrogen car, they proved that smoking caused cancer well before anyone else. Most of the so- called American discoveries were merely stolen from the Germans and hidden away when they lost the war, the hydrogen car would have destroyed the American car companies and the cancer bit the tobacco industry.
    How would the Irish supporting the Nazis have any effect on the pope in the Nazi Youth?
    The current pop would have been quite young and of little importance to anyone at the time and thus would have no connection to Ireland whatsoever.

  70. "Majority of your presidents have Irish connections" – This remark is a lot of nonsense – the only president of Irish descent was Kennedy. The Irish take so much credit for accomplishment of the people from Northern Ireland. who are in fact British nationals. Approximately 16 of US presidents where protestants from Northern Ireland also called Ulster Scots. They were descendants of Presbyterian Scottish brought to Northern Ireland starting 1610. This plantation is controversial to this day but the facts are these people are distinct people from Irish Catholics. And the Ulster [protestant people to this day resist aggression from Irish catholic nationalist who are trying to destroy them. And what a joke that is because the IRA have failed to do it in modern times.

Most Americans I have met are smart people with a great sense of humour. Although some Irish had a bad time in America back in the day, the truth is that there was a lot more racism against the Italians, Germans, Spanish and Asians, not to mention the blacks than there was against the Irish. I think the Irish just talk about it too much and love to be viewed as the "victim". The Irish regements in the British army were quite nasty to the native New Zealanders and native Australians too. Irish regiments were also involved in wiping out native Americans as well. I say forget the past and hate the real enemy ie.. pesky dandruff.

However, If you want to tar everyone with the same brush, there are rivers of Irish blood on British hands…… it is far from a pulpit that you should be preaching.

    • Ireland doent even have an Army they have a defence Forse. the are peace keepers. WE are peacekeepers. I can't believe that someone would make an attack on a ethnic group in this day and age have we learned nothing. I don't care what you think i really don't because i know the facts, And i know how Irish people have been slaughtered for hundreds of years. How The Irish in Nothern Ireland did not have equal status, were murdered and generally unprotected by the law. I completly disagree with violence but at least know it was not one sided.. Get a clue.

    • hello there. about 500 british civilians were killed in the troubles. and over times over 25 million irish were killed. think of that

  83. why would someone write such an uneducated article? i just want to say, on behalf of ireland that irish americans are not irish anymore. they are americans. just as the protestant irish (in the republic anyway) are not british anymore. they are irish, and proud. i'm irish and, going by my surname i would be descendent from britain. but i'm irish. you see, the reason i am proud is because we've taken a lot of s***! and have come through smiling. not because of our importance through history (though it does annoy me when you all say we were insignificant throughout history when the facts are blatent). why i don't like americans? they post ignorant and uneducated articles such as this one. they have no sense of belonging. perhaps i too am being ignorant in claiming that all americans are as ignorant as this person. why would you lash out at a country becuase they were forced to emigrate and populate your country due to oppression and famine. St. Patricks Day stands for peace and offers the oppertunity to embrace life. why would you object to having it as a national holiday? and all counties have had their golden age. britain had hers as did ireland beforehand. americas is coming to an end.

  85. how exactly are the irish useless? there a quite a number of people here talking about irish history and the irish people as if they have studied it in depth when clearly ye haven't. we dont want a united ireland were happy out the way things are. you really should read more! wasn't Henry ford's father from ireland…!! everywhere the irish emigrated to we did nothing but work really really hard. if we were such a horrible race of people, why do sooooo many people try at any opportunity to proclaim their irishness(be it true or untrue), Especially americans.

  86. Its because america doesnt really have any deep culture. ireland is an amicable place. we are proud of our history and how far we've come, unlike many western countries who try to shy away from their history because of it's ominous rath of oppression..eg usa, england. so people want to idetify with something deep and harmless like irish culture. so stop being such a prude and dryballs just cause you suffer from your deep inability the have the craic!! if people want to party let them! its not like were starting a war by celebrating our natinal holidy. A bit of advice, go out more then maybe you will learn some social skills and realise enjoying yourself once in a while isn't actually an evil thing to do!!

  95. How could anybody be proud to call themselves an American? They are shallow, self centred people. They lack social skills, can't grasp humour and if the word "like" didn't exist then they would be unable to put a sentence together. It has been shown that Americans don't even know where they are on the globe. Thats how self obsessed they are. Bush represented the true Americans really, really well because that is unfortunately how you are all preceived world wide. It is quite obvious from most of these posts written by Americans, that they have never visited Ireland. If that is how they see the Irish then it is all text book stuff. I have been to America many times through work. I am never in a hurry to return because although they have been welcoming there was always a falseness an insincerity about them. When they smile, Their eyes never smile. A cold detachment of emotions. That is how they live their lives, detached.

In defense of Irish people, I always enjoy coming home because there is no race in the world with as good a sense of humour, generosity, filial duty and intelligence- even amongst those who were not lucky or privileged enough to recieve a university education.

  103. Your obvious contradiction is shocking to me. I think the spirit of the declaration is lost on you. The Irish that came here during the 1800s fled their country starving because of the oppression forced upon them by the British. They came looking for a better life willing to work hard and try to make something of themselves which many of them did, I don't see how this differs from the hopes of our founding fathers
    Also I have Irish friends and this misconception that all Irish people are pope mad catholics is simply not true.

    I am an Irish woman who doesn’t drink or sing sad songs. I am also the type of person who shows respect and would never judge a person based on ethnicity.
    Many Irish came to America during a famine and worked hard to make a life for themselves in America, they played a huge part in building the infrastructure in America. They are a proud old race and as I live in Ireland i should know we don’t all sing, we defiantly don’t all drink, we most certainly do not believe in fairies and we don’t all eat potatoes, but the majority of us are friendly to people of all race, sexual orientation & ethnicity . As as for killing each other how little you know. We have a large amount of Protestant living in Ireland they are our neighbours and our friends. And if you really knew anything you would know that the Catholic Church is not as significant in Ireland as you may think….
    The Irish like many other ethic groups make America the diverse country it is today.. Enjoy it..

  106. From what ive observed the irish do have a lot of pride to the point they will either look down on you or want to pick a fight with you if you arent irish. Some talk a lot to look smart but if you actually listen to what they are saying you'll just realize it's stupid sh*t. Most are punks, drunks, or flunks. So far all I've heard is talk about how they fought in wars. No talk of scientific accomplishments. Unfortunently the US is littered with a bunch of irish thugs. Hey if they would just act respectful like everyone else and stop thinking they arethe sh*t I'd see no problem. But from what I've experienced they are racist trouble makers just acting like they want peace.

  107. I am Irish Myself. I do not drink alcohol. I do not take drugs. I live in this country. It would seem that the article written by ed anger at first glance is relative to a trolling article. It is intended for reaction from the internet community. So as to provoke reaction. As with all forums the above posts are nothing more than a creation of cognitive dissonance. Each and every poster is trying to create consonance. But in saying that as an Irish person the article speaks the truth. It is correct in every point. I MYSELF hate this country for it is full of Drunken Binge drinkers and alcoholics. It is full of ignorance, bitterness, and hate. Unemployment is at an all time high approaching 500,000. I was born a Catholic. I had no choice. I was just a child. I had no voice. But now I am totally an atheist. The majority of the Irish are a deluded bunch of God believing drunkards. St .Patricks Day MAKES me want to vomit. The leaders of this country cannot do their Job properly. The iRISH are one of the most ignorant people I have Known. I have been in many countries . I hated coming home to this despicable Nation. But I have no choice. For it is My home. The Irish are a very deluded bunch. With extreme self righteous tendencies . To any American Reading this I would be glad to be an american rather than Irish. Their are some descent people in this country like myself. But unfortunately we are the minority. Ireland is a drastic nation with pity full fools. Idiotic nonsensical and brainlesss idiots. The Catholic church is an institution for the mentally ill. It is either that or alcohol. When You walk the streets at night. It is unsafe. Crime is rampant. Criminal gangs are taking over the streets Of cities Dublin and Limerick. Limerick City is so dangerous that it is now referred to as Stab city. Over 3000 people have been killed from the troubles in Northern Ireland. Countless More maimed for life. Their was a time when a person from the republic and northern ireland were used as human shields. People were forced to drive cars into a designated areas that was targeted for bombings. This is a pathetic country. One could go on but I think I have made My point.

We have accents (just not everybody and some have it really strong) just like you americans and your " oh my gawd, like look at that leprachaun". Yeah thats right!……. One st patricks day my friend (who just happens to have bright red hair!) was sat on the grass at a hotel because our families had dinner there and some americans came over when my friend left to go to the bathroom and started asking me things like "whats it like to know a leprechaun?", and some other rather strange things.

    The majority of Irish Americans are of Presbyterian extraction.
    Both the Protestant and Catholic Church in Ireland celebrate Saint Patrick's Day.
    Personally, I would presume that being the second biggest ethnicity in the States, Irish people have contributed a lot!
    One noticable contribution is that Americans pronounce their R's which comes from Irish immigrants. Only for Irish immigrants, you would have adopted the inability to pronounce an R just like the British!

  138. I think that they irish are ok to a certain extent , just depends on what terms and with regards to what . i think its a bit harsh to genralise the whole country as it just doesnt make sense. However, i have to admit that id never trust a person who is irish..and mainly for two reason :ALCOHOL & ATTITUDE. and their very selfish tendancies.
    I'm 32 yo and i have never met an irish person who cant leave alcohol alone, i mean ffs, why they have to plan to get hammered every weekend just bemuses me, i think that between 60%-80% are just simple pissheads.FACT
    another thing with the irish ..in my experience, is that you just cant trust them, ( i just cant put my finger on it ..all i do know is that id never employ one again. in 10 years of our business we have caught about 9 people stealing ,5 of them were irish , 3 were scousers and 1scottish. about a year ago i vowed id never take on a celt again…im my experience they never cased me nothing but trouble..not to add the distress they caused other team members because of their constant unprofessionalism and lying.
    actually , thinking again i think i do dislike them if im being honest…i mean why would i like them…they have proven to me that they are dishonest , scheming, and overall a nasty kind.maybe its the way they are brought up …and the general attitude of the irish…who knows, just as long as they dont come near my life or my families.

  143. I am unfortunately half Irish. That side of my family are a bunch of drunks who cause trouble for everyone who knows them. Usually drop dead from drinking or fall down the stairs drunk. Drinking, fighting and screwing until Mr. Willie stops working from too much alcohol. Few make it to old age. I avoid them like the plague.

  145. I love the Irish. Such a fine bunch of erudite scholars this world has never seen. The descendants of Colmcille, of centuries of learning, of craftsmanship, of manuscripts, of art, of bards, poets, harpists, of kings, táinistí and druids, The people who century after century have resisted the most powerful empire in the history of the world. There's is much to admire in the Irish, in particular in those people in Ireland who continue to speak the Irish language, play native Irish games as organised by the massive organisation known as the GAA and play traditional Irish music. For such a noble, strong and admirable tradition to continue despite the colossal British military, economic and political might is worthy of immense respect by any standard. Long may Irish culture and distinctiveness continue in its best, positive sense no matter what the British do to suppress the flame of Irish freedom.

  146. I have to agree. The Irish, for the most part, are shower of idiots and I'm Irish. Cant have a real conversation with an Irish person. Cant make deep freindships with Irish folk. The women are for the most part chastised. They have a frame of reference as wide as a keyhole. Intellectually speaking they are lost. Idiots I have to say.

    • No Irish person I know hates the English and I know quite a lot seeing as I live in IRELAND. England (and Britain) are our closet allies.

    • Such sentiment is somewhat lost, between the subtle lines of arrogance, and the oppressive wave of injustice bestowed upon the emerald Isle at the behest of your blood – lusting, nefarious,
      vultures you refer to as ancestors, more like vicious, incompetent vessels of hate if the truth be known.

    • well youl find that your ancestors basically tore our country apart stole our food and money and completely forbid us from speaking our own language i dont have a problem with english people as my mum is half english but if you look at the history you will learn why some people hold a grudge

    • They have hundreds of years of reasons to. Except for the few most Irish of today, do not hate them. We all have family members that fought in two world wars for the British, and also fought in Yemen and other places for that. We all have cousins living there because a lot the Irish who fought stayed in the army and brought their families over, and others that didn’t stay in the army, stayed in the country too. So you are most likely to be the reason the few have no time of your ancestors. And all these years later, it’s a non issue.

  155. In this article you have made some idiotic remarks. Firstly, the pope is the head of the Catholic Church, no one prays to him. No one in Ireland believes in fairies. It is folklore and legends. And with the whole 'blow each other up' bit you only hear about the bad stuff that happens between Ireland and the North. So much progress has been made between the two that any time I have gone up there is no hard feelings whatsoever. The statue of liberty was given by the FRENCH to America as a gift. The reason? It was about the french revolution so no it would never have been of Ourlady. And finally 'pray to the wrong Jesus' ehh Catholics are Christians so how it could it be a different jesus?

Not only are your prejudicial, and incessantly ignorant remarks, a reflection of your obviously deprived educational merit, but you lack the ability to ferment complex thoughts with lucid articulation. Perhaps in future, you may consider impregnating your brain with actual facts, before you allow your thoughts to meander and gestate, such fractured fallacies. I am quite proud of my beautiful Island, which was not built on impoverished ineptitude, or preconceived illusions of superiority, but structured upon the minds of some of the greatest literary scholars, to grace the pages of time. If you ever have the privilege of visiting my home city of Cork, I will be more than happy to acquaint you with the facts, so that when you leave, you will be well versed on what it means to be Irish believe me!! It's quite sad that America is still in puberty, and has many years of maturing yet to do. Sláinte, George.

    It is evident from your extract that you do not understand Ireland, its culture and the wonderful holiday that is St. Patrick's Day.
    I agree with you in the fact that many people use the day as an excuse to consume an excessive amount of alcohol, but that does not vouch for you to start calling the entire group of people ignorant idiots.
    I understand that we have our fair share of imbeciles, and I am not proud of those people, but so, too, does the Land of the Stars and Stripes – probably in a higher concentration!
    So, until you show me your History Degree (IRISH History Degree) or your academic achievements, your words are meaningless.

I have some Irish heritage and Ireland and Irish people mean nothing to me.

  180. I'me an Enlish Londoner with nothing but English heritage on both sides of my family all the way back,but unfortunately all of my ancestors have been very poor and opressed by the higharcy. Why is it the Irish have this distinct hate and jealousy of the English for things that happened 200-300 years ago.Surely the English and every other nationality can go back in history and find an opressor.
    Why is it then the Irish still feel they have this never ending right to see the English as there sworn enemy.Particulary seeing as that the Irish and decendant population in Enland exceeds that of the population of Ireland, and England gave them emploment and a home for the past 60 years.
    The bigest joke is that the Irish -Americans have adopted this same hatred but don't really know why!
    America was colonised by the English in the 16th century the majority of Irish never arrived until
    300years after that. Thats why Americans speak English.

    This denial by Americens to recognise the extent of thier English bloodlines goes back to the stigma of being English after the American war or independence.
    All of the founding fathers were direct English or Scotish decendants,The Irish never arrived in any substantial number until many years after that. Thats why Americans speak English and thats why English was the first language spoken on the moon.

    And as expected from the Irish was met with a volley of miss informed ignorance.
    They never fail.
    Why not do a follow up.
    Through these posts and replies you can see the Paddy's have already built the gallows.
    Keep it going and we can watch them hang themselves.
    Will keep looking for responses.
    All the best from your earliest cousins and closest allies
    Crippsy the Brit

  205. Every part of your verse above is badly factualy flawed to the point of being fictional.
    Have you ever studied the plight of the English working class and how they suffered for centuries under landlords and royals by much the same oppresion.Obviously not. Thats because the Irish sufferance will allways be depicted as the bigest travesty in the history of the world ,This being told that way to perpetuate thier hatred for all the English both gentry and working class.Thus substituting thier own failures as a people and a nation for international pity.You must have spent many hours in that same basement on a computer studying how to distort Irish history to the detrement of the British.Do you really need us as a scapegoat for your own shortcomings that badly? Obviously you do proof of that being The Irish free state then later the republic has been independant from Britain for 90 years and has had to sponge off of the rest of the international comunity to survive,even still now.Philpot has a valid point.None of our other former dominions have a problem with us like the Irish do, for the best part they've all moved forward,but Ireland never will. The reason for this being they are an inherantly ignorant race with no inititive just wallowing in self pity.!

    • Of course ifs right and in the U.S. its the only place in the world where the Irih get any credibility.
      In the rest of the world they are a laughing stock. And rightfully so.

  207. ahem, Lordphilpot? is it? haha oh my god you made me throw up! Your gracious royals?? Are you serious? They should bomb buckingham palace, surprised it hasn't been done already! Civilisation?? Your country is far from civilised. Full of arrogant, nasty, pompous idiots such as yourself! Your "civilised" people raped and murdered and stole from our country and you are proud of that? not to mention all the other only country you invaded and graced them with you "civility."

  208. To the Ed who wrote this blog there isn't much point in making a comment on what you wrote as really you just seem like someone that has too much time on their hands to write such uneducated bigoted rubbish. However I would like to make a comment towards the few remarks by people who say they hate the Irish due to the their English ancestors being hated. Whilst I do not hate the present day English, unfortunately their ancestors have a lot to answer for because of their invasion and persecution of many countries not just Ireland. When the residences of a country try to force the English out of THEIR country, they are then known as terrorists and English media, propaganda and history books portray a one sided version of events. No country has the right to invade another and force their regimes on them, yet the English think this is correct. Name a war down through history and I can guarantee you the English were stuck in it somewhere, so really can you blame any people for disliking your ancestors? Right is right and wrong is wrong and you should be ashamed to say that you hate the Irish especially when it's the Irish that should hate you.

    • England gave up most of its empire freely,even India the jewel in the crown.This was because the second world war bankrupt England to fight it.
      Remembeer the second world war? It was England who stood alone for 3 years against what you actually could call tyranical invaders. England as you choose to call it is actually Great Britain.If Britain hadn't have stood up against Germany and Japan alone for 3 yrs the whole world including the U.S. would have fallen.
      Whilst the dear Irish colaborated with the Germans providing them with agents and harbouring thier submarines. So obviously sanctioning the holocaust!
      The Britsh educated the world by means of peace and commerce and all of the underdeveloped countries including Ireland sank into chaos on their departure.
      The Irish misdeeds against the British{IRA} are a lot clearer in peoples minds than the reverse which were so long ago they are based merely upon folklore.
      The Irish have allways been jealous of British civility leadership and intelegence. whilst the Irish intelegence has been a laughing stock the world over.Get over yourselves.

    • India should never have been part of Englands empire in the first place. You say it so freely and give the impression that it it was Englands right to force themselves on yet another country that did NOT belong to them. I am not denying that the English did good work during the war and who knows where we would be today without their involvement, however the English have on a more tactful basis down through history invaded and persecuted countries and the fact that they helped put an end to WW2 does not justify this wrong doing. I distinguish England from the rest of Great Britain, because the Scots and Welsh were just as persecuted by the English down through history, so I do not hold them responsible . That is in fact a lie that the Irish colaborated with the Germans during WW2, the Germans harboured their submarines of the Irish coast because Ireland remained neutral during the war and the Germans saw this as a safe base. In fact even though it remained neutral Dublin was bombed during WW2. It is a bit of a joke to say that the English educated the world by means of peace when in fact they done the complete opposite by causing unrest and innocent bloodshed. As regards the IRA, I do not in any way condone the killing of innocent people but unfortunately it is innocent people who suffer in these situations. The IRA was actually set up after British soldiers opened fire on unarmed civil rights protestors in Derry on the 30th January 1972. In fact your prime minister David Cameron has now issued an apology for this innocent bloodshed, so don't tell me these things are merely folklore when there are people alive today who still bare the effects of this wrong doing. I could go on and on about the persecution of the Irish by the English but all I will say is that things have happened in too recent a history to be forgotten too easily.

    • I think your slightly missing the point about the English ,do you actually think the English working class people were exempt from oppresion,so who was it who was forced to run infront of enemy cannons for five hundred years to maintain the empire and other campaign,has the English working man ever enjoyed any of the spoils of our nations empire? The answer to that is no.
      Yet the Irish never stop to think of that. The Welsh the Scots and the Northern Irish protestants which I know are proud to be British and don't worry they were involved in bloody Sunday too so your theory on that is absurd. And for your information British soldiers were sent to Northern Ireland originally to protect the catholics, but the IRA
      seized the oportunity to make them as targets.
      The English working mans opression goes back to the Romans,Normans ,Vikings and its own royalty and governments.
      But unlike the Irish the English don't wallow in self pity and use someone as a scapegoat hundreds of years on.
      I'de like to know when a British Prime minister is going to apologise for the 1000 years of wrongdoing to its own people let alone one incident in a terrorst conflict.

    • I would just like to make it clear that I in no way hate the average English person and most Irish people I know do not hold grudges against the average English person. However you can rattle on as much as you want but a fact is a fact, the English should have stayed out of countries that did NOT belong to them. I find it interesting that you noted that the British Prime minister should apologise for the 1000 years of wrongdoing to its own people, it really shows up the type of people that were in positions of authority down through English history. If they could do that to their own people what were they capable of doing to others? Who exactly were the 'terroists'' on 30th January 1972? Was it the unarmed civil rights protestors? It's not just one incident in a ''terroist'' conflict, it represents the innocent bloodshed that occurred on both sides after this event and in your own country too. I don't know why you say the Irish are blinkered by ancient history, I would consider this relatively recent history wouldn't you? I refer to facts not just drunken Paddy talk as you call it. Did your Prime minister consider it drunken Paddy talk when he apologised? What's done is done now and there is no taking it back but facts are facts. You in fact are the prejudiced one as you have made it clear in the majority of your posts that you are anti Irish.

    • The prime minister never apologised on behalf of me.
      The British soldiers were fired upon first.
      But then again you would know because the Irish/IRA then were experts on murder.
      And it is you who is obviously anti- English
      Tried to touch on some common working class ground with you in an attempt to validify some of your biased sentiments and what came back was terrorist venom. Your jealousy of the British Empire overwhelms any fair judgement you could make about the English.
      I'me not anti-Irish I just pity thier ignorance

    • To be quite honest anyone reading you're last post in particular can see you have no grounds for argument. The fact that you said the British soldiers were fired upon first is completely unfounded as the Saville report states quite clearly that those shot and killed were unarmed and the killings were unjustified and unjustifiable. Where are you basing your information on?? I already explained that I am not anti the every day English working class person but FACTS are facts and you can't change that. So I made a few points that you appear not to be able to handle and it's terroist venom??What English empire are you talking about?? The hoard of countries the English have forced themselves on at one point is it? Maybe it's you that's ignorant as you appear to recognise only selective facts.

    • Britain not England never forced themselves upon anyone.We were welcomed as teachers and providers and history has proved we are now missed.
      David Cameron was 5 years old in 1972 so his apology is unqualified.
      Unjustified killings are all the cowardly bombings of innocent people carried out in your name.And many more unjustified acts of murder carried out over a 20year period those are the overwhelming FACTS which you choose to ignore.
      You've had independence for 90 years and your still blaming the British for your own inability to be a credible nation. So whay happens when the EU throws you out finally realising they are actually suporting you, will the EU then be oppresors or will you just find it easier to carry blaming Britain.
      Ireland is nothing and its ungratefull uneducated drunken people have no credibility in the world.

    • Crisppy it's quite clear you have apparent tunnel vision when it comes to your one sided facts. I already said that it wasn't right that innocent people suffered (both Irish and English) during the northern Ireland troubles but innocent people are always the victims in these situations unfortunately. You can dress it up any way you want but the fact is these troubles occurred because of Britain's occupation of Northern Ireland. Remember there would have been no IRA if the English had stayed out and therefore no killing of innocent people on both sides. Remember the UVF did their share of killings also. The Saville report was released in June 2010 not 1972. I'm afraid you'll have to come up with a better one than David Cameron was 5 years old in 1972. That is just a stupid remark. David Cameron didn't write the Saville report on his own, he just made the apology on behalf of your government. To be fair the English have to be recognised for doing the right thing in that instance for once. Was England welcomed in Australia as teachers and providers? Was that before or after they forced the aboriginal race out to the point of near non existance?? It's only common sense that if one country invades another that unrest is going to occur. It would be the same in your own country if America for example tried to occupy it. The only providing the English intended to do was provide themselves with more colonies. As for the EU Britain is hardly in a position to talk, they are one of the weakest nations in the EU at present and the EU could possibly collapse because of the strain on stronger nations like Germany and France. There is no point throwing insults about Ireland's position in the EU when your own country isn't in the healthiest position. Was it not a couple of weeks ago that there was a big protest over pensions in Britain? I think I could go on and on talking but it's clear you have a bigoted one sided view of Ireland and nothing I or anyone else can say could change that so maybe you should be left to your one side ''educated'' tunnel vision!

    • Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain and the reason it stayed that way is because 75% of the population there are protestants who are prond to be British.And this was confirmed 3 hundred years ago after the battle of the Boyne.When you talk of invasions isn't that excactly what IRA/Irish tried to do by means of terror in Northern Ireland a country what isn't thiers.Try to explain your point to a Nothern Ireland protestant.
      On the issue of Northern Ireland the average Englishman could'nt care less,the protestant loyalists are your problem not the English.
      But unfortunately for someone like yourself who suports a terrorist movement those facts are ignored.
      Great Britain is one of the worlds strongest economies,propelled by a nation of 60million people,we don't need the EU but Ireland is just a bitter twisted dot on the map which will allways need help from someone.Your attitude is so anti British you are blinded by hate and obviously indoctrinated by evil. Your part of a people who are incapable of progessing because they hang on to their misfortunes of 3 hundred years ago like no other nation.Just get in the real world and move on. You are a joke and a bigot.

    • Crisppy this is my last post because you are just getting nasty now by trying to say that I support the killing of innocent people. My mother is from Derry, Northern Ireland, as well as obviously many of my relations so in no way do I support the bloodshed of innocent people. I have made it very clear in all my posts that I do not support the killing of innocent people but that is what happens in these situations. It is the innocent that suffers. Why do you put up ill informed facts such as 75% of Northern Ireland is predominately Protestant? That is lies, the fact is that it is roughly 50/50 Catholic with the other 50% being a combination of protestants (mainly) and no religion etc. In fact Protestantism in Northern Ireland is slowly dropping over the years. You contradict yourself by saying that the the protestants in Britain are proud to be British, and then stating the protestant loyalists were Ireland's problem. Were they not killing in your name? no? Try taking a relatively neutral opinion, instead of a extremely pro English and extremely anti Irish. Your points will only be proven when you write correct facts for a start and when you recognise that Britain is not 100% right and Ireland is 100 % wrong. You give too one sided of an opinion. I at least will recognise the English if they do something which is undeniably right therefore that does not make me a bigot. In fact I made it clear in my posts that I do not hate the average English person nor do most Irish people I know. You however seem to hate everything about the Irish. Also another stupid remark is saying Britain doesn't need the EU. What are they in if for then? I think they aren't really in much of a position to say that at the moment. Unfortunately Crisppy you decided to attack me personally by implying that I support a ''terrorist'' movement and therefore the killing of innocent people, so I won't be replying to any more of your comments. I'll just leave the people reading them decided themselves.

    • Elaine,this is my last post too.
      But I must say your'e facts on most of the issues must be based on folklore.If you check out the majority of your points on wicepedia you'l find you've been very inacurate.
      Your first post was a response to 'Ed's article about St Patricks day in America.
      Ed never once mentioned the English.Read it again and you'l see. You then launched a volley of of inaccurate venom about the English as a reply to him.
      I think your obsesive hatred for Britain and its people has become an illness for you and I think you should get some therapy.Its pointless trying to debate or find any common ground with someone of your disposition.
      These posts have been scored + or – by the readers look at it and you'l see thier opinions.
      No more to be said.

    • Ok I'm going to say it one last time I DO NOT hate the everyday working class English person, in fact quite the opposite. Haven't you read my posts properly???? I think they are much the same as everyday Irish people. I responded to a couple of people that said in their posts that they hate the Irish because of their English ancestors being hated and that the Irish were ignorant to their gracious royals. I didn't notice that you were one of these people until you replied to my post.
      I think that you should check your facts, I can list a few here of your inaccurate ones (by way never refer to Wikipedia, it is a great site but can be edited)
      1. British soldiers were fired upon first on 30/01/1972 – Wrong, Saville report states that this was not the case quite clearly. Maybe you are referring to the pre-dated Widgery tribunal?
      2. David Cameron was 5 years old in 1972 so his apology was unqualified – this one is just a completely stupid remark, like I said David Cameron didn't write the report!!
      3.The Irish colaberated with the Germans in WW2 by providing agents and harbouring their submarines. The Irish remained neutral and the Germans took advantage of the this on the submarine issue.
      4. 75% of Northern Ireland is protestant – another stupid remark, anyone can check this fact so I won't elaborate.
      I would like to know what information you are basing these statements on?????? I think it's you that should get therapy as I only came across this site by accident and I just wrote a few remarks to defend my country. What is your excuse?? racism? because that is what this blog clearly is. It's pointless trying to debate with me is it? What common ground would you like to find on the debate? The common ground where I agree that the English were correct to do what they done. Again let me make it clear I do not hate the average English person in any way that is the truth. As regards the + or – , well off course mine are minus cos the majority of people commenting on here are Irish haters or else you are + your own comments some way. No doubt you'll have the last word anyhow Crisppy so I'll leave it to you.

    • But your very first sentence was in reply to ED who didh't mention the English. The I don't hate the average Englishman dosn't work.Your comments are so anti British and incorrect, its insulting. And I too stick up for my country too.I'me not goind to atempt to prove the points you listed are correct I'me not that sad.
      I too found this site by accident which is an American site who you would percieve are your pals.
      The readers score says it all.
      YOU ARE WRONG
      The End

    • Someone calling themselves Sir Robert would certanly be an expert on idiosy.
      Oh and I'me not your pal either.
      W*****

    • It looks like your so prejudice against the English it has blinded you to the TRUE facts of history.
      To hold a grudge for 2-300 years is using the English as a scapegoat for your own shortcomings which have caused your misfortune.
      Your blinkered by jealousy and hatred which has made you see ancient history which you have never been affected by as an excuse to hate the English.
      Its a good job the English don't hold grudges against all the wrongdoings that they can't remember themselves,its just as well otherwise we'd be looking for a scapegoat too.
      Look to the history books not drunken paddy pub talk.

    • Cripsy, the brits knew about Austwitz in 1942 and didnt bomb a train line into it. England gave up nowhere freely, and lost more wars than any other country in the 20th century.
      dont make me laugh the USA would have fallen if it wasnt for the English!!!!!, I am American and not of Irish descent, but your claim of we are you oldest allies is ridicolous, we were in a 50 year war with you on and off, 1780-1830, if we really liked you woudlnt we have a big St Georges Day parade!!!!! you guys are easy cannonfodder for us

    • You mean the war where the Americans who actually by the majoity were English decent fought the British army who were mainly German mercanaries.
      If the allies new about Austwitz why didn't the Americans bomb it. Anyway theres nothing to substantiate that,so don't make me laugh.
      If Britain hadn't won that air battle and had fallen the US would have had the Germans on one coast and the Japs on the other you'd have stood no chance.
      The only war you ever went to without us is the only war you ever lost. That was Vietnam.
      If you don't feel we're your allies thats too bad ,I know a hell of a lot of Americans and none of them would agree with you.

  209. Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain.It was left that way because the inhabitants there are 75% profestant and are proud to be British.__And thier position there as inhabitants was confimed three hundred years ago after the battle of the Boyne.__When you talk of invasions isn't that what the IRA tried to do by means of terror to take over the North,a place which clearly was a diferent country. Try to explain your point of view to the protestants in the North.

  210.

    Why dont you go to ireland for a show down? Your ass would be handed to you as a souvenir.

      Ireland was developed years ago by the British and now relies on handouts from the EU.
      Until they get kicked out of it that is. Then they will blame they Eu for thier own shortcomings instead of the British. Can't wait.
      Your obviously an American wanabe Paddy can tell that by your ignorance.
      Allready had the showdown with them SAS finished it.
      You know nothing about England thats obvious.

  211. I'm a scottish jew so I have no leaning one way or another on religion. I went to uni with a load of irish and most were fine, however NI catholics on nights out were known for there hatred of the english and the British. I got into a discussion one night about scots history and they showed their true ignorance. They mentioned the english were to blame for highland clearances, in fact landowners were and they were nearly all scots. I mentioned the scottish enlighten was based on the break from the catholic church and not anti catholic and I was racially abused at that point!! I now live in oz where the same people lie all the time telling ozzies with scottish names that they are irish and should hate the english it makes me sick! Their country is about to slide into another decade of terrible struggle and frankly I'd rather help the southern irish than keep NI catholics in the uk. Americans stop listening to there lies its the only thing there people can do.

    • I think this is ridiculous…I am a NI Catholic and actually find this offensive! The only NI Catholics that are "known for there hatred of the English and the British" are the ones that have or have had to deal with it every day growing up. Its what they have been brought up with and just live in an older generation. No one can blame them for what they have been taught. I, however have grown up with Catholics and Protestants, along from the majority of the 6 counties. You have obviously ran into a couple of the "die hards" and have tarred us all with the same brush. You can never really understand what it is like growing up in NI unless you experience it. So, no harm….. but stick to what you know and can be sure of!!!!!

    • Deal with what everyday? A peacekeeping force which were trying to protect you.
      You're tryng to make excuses for terrorism.
      Own up you hate the English because your jealous.

    • Really like…it is this "peace keeping force" that causes the arguments whether you want to admit it or not. Its in areas like Belfast where the Catholics and Protestants in certain areas get a kick out of causing hurt to the other. This is not how all areas act. In other areas Catholics and Portestants can get along fine and im saying this from experience. Im not making any excuses for terrorism, like any sane person I wish it didnt exist but its something that we all have to deal with. Im proud of where I come from so I dont know where your getting this jealousy thing out off..I was brought up to show respect to every person, no matter what nationality they were. And in result of that Ive done very well for myself. Not all NI Catholics are bad!!!!!

  212. Irish/Northern Irish people are the most annoying around! They go on about how much they drink (um just the same amount as any other place mate) and the are the most unfriendly, unwelcoming people ever! I'm an aussie, i spent a couple of months there on a year visa and left after 2 months coz i couldn't stand the people. Moved up to Scotland where I still am and love it here, love the people, the country. Can't stand the irish twats.

  213. To ni girl, I have met more ni catholics than I can count, give them some drink and the lies and hate comes out, the stories about granddads tongue being cut out is the best, I heard the same story 3 times in one night. They tell me because I'm jewish and want me to hate the english! Sorry but being brought up in scotland I heard all this sectarian crap more than you can imagine. Personally I can't stand orange or green but I know fine well were I've heard most of the anti english/British sentiment. Sorry I prefer the irish to those from the north, I've also never been racially abused by southern irish for being either british or jewish! I suspect you should learn about stones and glass houses. If you have issues with fat little men who predominantly support rangers and play flutes take it up with them. What makes you think the UK actually wants the hassle that is NI? Unfortunately we have democracy which means we adhere to the wishes of the majority regardless whether WE like them or not!

    • Go back and read my post..never once did I say that I had any problem with any English/British settlement. I said that Ive been brought up among Catholics and Protestants along with the majority of the 6 counties in NI..and that the ones that would have the problem is the die hards that have been brought up in Catholic areas, where thay have been taught to hate the Protestants. Scotland is a different story altogether because of the Celtic/Rangers feud. Maybe itl take a couple of good mannered Catholics for you to step out of your box. As I said before… dont tar us all with the same brush!

    • completely agree I'm from the south and went to uni in NI, everyone both catholic and Protestant got on great, I can safely say that I've made friends for life with a few NI prod's! you only find problems or issues such as the ones mentioned in the disadvantaged area's and that goes for both side's (i.e. ares where Catholics dislike protestants, and in turn areas where protestants dislike catholics) and its a shame that the youth in these area's are raised knowing no better!! and in my experience I found that it was my fellow southern class mates who were the ones who drunkenly began to sign rebel songs one night and I can tell you right now that this was stopped instantly by a very angry NI catholic who was appaled and insulted by their behavior (he's best mates with them) and he began to explain that given they didnt kno what it was like for young people growing up previously that had know right to start shit like that and that everyone with a brain in NI have moved on from that and is happy to live in peace so yeah @Scot from my experience of living in NI you've either defo unfortunately stumbled upon a minority or your just full of SH*t

  214. im irish and lets get this straight we are not igornat we are the nicest people on the planet and yeah there is a few of us irish that act in a stupid matter but you should not judge us by those people and the way they behave we and so what we belive in faires and leprachens but we also belive in freedom you americans slaved black people and i you now have one runnin you country, you americans arent great either so theres no need for you to stick your noses up at us yeahh we drink but doesnt every country your ancesters are more and likely irish and oh yeah didnt you realise yur president you have had for two years now is part irish so you and i the irish haters and your country slan go foil goodbye in irish

    • whats so good about splittin an atom, hasnt that caused all the shit were all in at the moment? its just "so english" to divide and conquer, but the rest of us will have the last laugh, pity the germans didnt wipe you out, but since they failed im sure you will do it to yourselves, cause you live in the biggest dump on the face of europe, ha ha 99% agree, die english scum die, now its your turn

    • Uneducated thick paddy.
      Divide and conquer ……… bet you didn;t think of that yourself, It's an age old term.
      Didn't really have to do that you divided yourselves.
      This site is getting dumber by the day.
      Educating the ignorant has proved imposible.
      Time to bail out of this site it's futile.
      Its been a laugh.

    • Does this make John Lennon and Paul McCartney Irishmen?
      Indeed,does it make Gerry Adams an Englishman?
      I would propose that you look into the amount of native Irish that converted to Protestantism before you assume that all Anglo-Irish are actually racially pure English or Scotsmen.

    • No one said anything about being racially pure..
      The names in the British isles over the past 300 years have been intermingled Cromwells' people took English names to Ireland and decendant populations in Ireland and Scotland moved to England to work.
      Thats a stupid asumption of someone trying to make a point that dosn't exsist.

    • You're not telling me anything i don't know.
      I was correcting the claim that Irish Protestants came exclusively from Britain.They didn't.
      A large proportion were 'natives' who converted.Many were also French Huegenot refugees and there was a substantial number of Palantines from Germany too.

    • What's to be jealous of? Narcissism is nothing to be proud of, (I get this from your posts, not generalizing the English) . Also who cares what country you're from, in the end everyone is the same. Seriously, you have to generalize a whole country, and use racial slurs ( Paddy) I am Irish myself, national identity doesn't mean much to me. But, in trying to answer your question, until the English move out of the north I doubt the prejudice you speak of will stop. You're right in some ways, but don't tarnish your insights with silly stereotypes. Ed Anger is effectively a troll, thus the name. He's trying to wind people up. After reading some of the other posts, I can see that you people are giving the Irish a bad name.

  219. That about says it all!! Not catholic so should be in hell!! One hell of a bunch of ignorant racist scumbags and sneaky to go with it. You should have finished all us non catholics of in the dark ages! you are nothing but white jihadists! Why cant you all move back to Ireland?

  221. Some of you right wing Brits make me laugh, especailly when you come over here and spout your "oldest cosuins and best allies crap" you have no idea how anit Biritish our origins are, the simple fact of the matter is we have mbraced Irish culture like no other here in America, whethar it be St Patricks day or Halloween or just simpley haveing a good night in the our local Irish bars.
    You may know Americans who agree withh you but where? in right wing chat rooms, but of course they would you guys are our cannonfodder, you guys clear landmines which save american lives.
    YOU SEEMED TO BE OBBSESSED IN YOUR HATRED OF THE IRISH, you need to get over this and learn the history abit more,

    • All of the founding fathers were decendents of English parents.__I love America and I used to live there, thats how I know you're wrong.__The only Americans who I have a problem with are the wanabe paddys.__As you have a name like Schmidt you probably know who planted those landmines.__Particlulary as your pals the Irish aided Germany in WW11.__Learn your history pal and dont listen to those hatefull drunken paddys using Britain as a scapegoat for thier own shortcomings in those Paddy bars.__I think the special relationship excudes A********* like you.

    • They may have been descendants from the English but they soon renounced their Englishness, you used to live here? how did you get in? you dont seem educated or skilled at anything to warrant a visa. Where is your evidence that the Irish supported the Nazis?, they seemed to be neutral? as did most small countries, as for Britain knowing about Auschwitz Anthony Eden said in parliament about it in December 1942, you guys invented the concentration camp remember. Where in the states did you live it most have pissed you off, talking about special realtionships only for yanks to recount stories of what was done to their Irish ancestors, its not your fault its the way hisotry is thought in your schools. I just love the way you personally insult me, kind of shows you up for waht you are

    • You started the personal insults.
      The Irish supplied the Germans with agents and re fuelling for German subs read up on it.
      Believe it or not education in Britain is unbiased confirmed by facts whilst Americans are only have Holywood to indoctrinate them.
      If it was anoonced in parliament about auschwitzt and the information was reliable then why didnt the Americans take up the job they were in the war eventually in 1942,it would have made another great movie for you guys.
      Not educated enough to let me in, don,t make me laugh you let the Irish in didnt you.

    • why do u say you like Americans and then insult us?, it was announced in your parliament december 1942, please look it up, but back to you personally what level of education or skills do you have? where does your hatred of the Irish come from? someone like yourself surely has graduated into hating Pakistanis, or Eastern Euopeans by now.
      or are you just bitter that you are no better off than your ancestors 200 years ago? my ancestry is German, English and Scandanavian for your information.
      P.S 110 million Americans wear Green on ST Patricks day, yet only 20 million watched the royal wedding, once again SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP?

    • Listen Mickey Mc Schmidty its getting boring trying to make you see any sense.
      Looks like you've been poisoned by your Paddy pals thats why your so anti- British. Which is wierd for any free thinking American.
      Not going to keep repeating myself to an indoctrinated fool like you.
      Its plain that you've only distain instead of admiration for what Britain gave to the civilization of the world.
      My education skills are obviously much more than yours otherwise you'd be able to absorb facts and debate sensibly instead of repeating disproved issues.
      Besides Ive been to the school of life. On Paddy's you know f*** all.
      110 million wearing green… {is that the jealousy green]
      The decendant population of Irish in the USA is only 30 million look it up!
      To reitterate I love America but its only misinformed a***HOLES like you which I dislike
      Or are you multiplying the fact that Micks are 3 times as stupid.
      Don't bother responding to this because I'me not bothering with reading this site anymore it's pointless.

    • well you answered my question with regards skills and education,
      you have none and probable left school at 16, as for leaving in the States I dont believe you, you probabley went for the odd weekend in New York and Las Vegas and were shocked into how powerful and influential the Irish lobby is here and how much they resent what was done to them.
      Just remember they didnt ask for being treated like slaves in their own country and if you knew the history like they do you would feel the same way, the issue is you are ignorant of the hisotry and have been brainwashed by the right wing reactionary press.
      As for the 30 million of Irish ancestry that is self reported the figure is probabley higher as people who are fourth or fifth generation tend to report their ancestry as American.
      I have lived in your country and I am very pround of my English heritage, but why would the Irish be jealous of the English, the Irish are far more educated, far more hard working, far more likely to come from a stable family background and far more liked than the English in this world.
      P.S of the top 4,000 earners in London only 10 per cent were born In England, what an awful indictment on the English education sector

    • Ok Mc Schmidty… One very last time.
      I don't believe you lived in England you know far too little and you're certainly not proud of your English heritage
      I have just returned from the States where I have been visiting my family in New Jersey where I lived for 5 years.
      Unfortunaiely its not posible to let you know my profession
      Which needed very much education.
      Go to wycepedia you,l see that all of your embittered anti English facts are wrong. You should be ashamed of your views which have eminated from from your misinformed Irish pals. It seems you've conducted an Anti British/English research project using Paddys twisted views for your information culminating any damning facts you can get.
      Your not proud of your English roots don'tmake me laugh.
      I know what the average American thinks of the Irish read Ed's post its all there. I'me 63 years old and I know I'me right.

    • The Irish did not aid Germany in WW2.This is an outright lie.
      It amazes me how often i read that line from your ilk.You are a truly brainwashed nation of chavs who would believe any old rubbish as long as it is tailored to your long list of prejudices.
      And then you tell Mike to learn his history?!!! You truly are a spectacular ars""ole,the absolute embodiment of why the English are disliked in Ireland and way beyond.
      The Empire is over,nobody owes you anything.Stop using it as license to talk out of your collective arses…

  222. Have to say I like the Irish but admit ive had the exact same issues with people from the north. sorry Mark I think you may be the one full of it.

    It's an interesting description of us Irish though and it defines the the difference between us when it comes to grievances.You see,anti British sentiment in Ireland has always been driven by political and social discontent whereas with anti Irish sentiment amongst your mob it's always been far more racial.
    This has been going on since the Victorian era and despite your claims of English high-mindedness,discoveries in modern genetics still have not been unable to cure you of your ignorance.It's always a race to the bottom with the English.

      UVF,UDA,UFF = British terrorists.
      No point in trying to take the moral high ground here,these organisations were just as brutal as the IRA although far more sectarian in their choice of targets.
      To say that Eire collaborated with the Nazis is simply contrary to truth.It amazes me how often it's regurgitated but stupid people are like that,who cares about the facts eh? They would rather give into their prejudices even at the risk of embarrassing themselves.

      – The Irish are all terrorists because of the IRA? Well then surely the same rules must apply to the British when one condiders the atrocities carried out by the UDA & UVF.
      These aren't my rules besides,they have been defined by you and all the other irrational racists on here.
      What facts of mine are wrong? That the UVF were terrorists? That the Irish state did NOT aid the Nazis?

Any significant insight he makes, he soon tarnishes with his disgusting vulgarity. I am now expecting a reply calling me a paddy, or a yank. Whatever he can come up with. But remember Churchill don't believe everything you read on the internet. Crippsy isn't a very good representation for you chaps. Best get a new speaker, maybe one who can act civil.

  235. Having read through this site all I can see as a response to Eds post [which was kind of tongue in cheek] .Is a venomous attack upon the British from obvious Irish posts which is strange considering Ed never mentioned the British.
    Full marks to Crippsy who defended his country with proven facts.
    But I'me not sure if any British people realised there was so much hatred from the Irish towards them.
    Now the troubles in Ireland appear to be in the past I'me sure that the average British man in the street hasn't got any particular opinion on the Irish one way or the other.

    As for the problems between the Briish/English and the Irish I would say the Brits have the stronger case. They're Americas staunchest allie and have never let us down.

      And as far our presidents are concerned they've all been American.
      The Brits formed the original colonies very few Irish were there then.
      Our constitution was based on the British form of government.
      The Irish never came in any numbers until a long time after independence.
      Also more U.S. presidents have been of English decent including George Washington.

    • They should concentrate on being "better Americans"?
      What exactly is the ideal American in a society as polarised as yours?
      The fact that Britain is your staunchest ally doesn't give them a "stronger case" in the former problems between Ireland/UK.They are a foreign nation who tried to impose rule over us,it was immoral behaviour,end of story.

    • all i can say to you mate is read some proper history books.because im telling you the irish werei in america from the begining. ithink youve been reading to much propaganda like the irish didn`t arrive until the famin of 1845. and by the way inever said anything about the american constitution being anything else but british , why would i in those days, ireland like scotland and wales was part of the union. goodbye first generation yank ps im english

  237. You sir, are an idiot of the highest order, i say this not as an Irishman,Englishman,Protestant or Catholic. "England gave up most of its empire freely", choosing this oxymoron as the opening line of any argument is reason enough to pity your ignorance. I doubt you personally "remember the second world war", because if you did you would know that Irish authorites interned german pilots and soldiers captured on "neutral" Irish soil while returning the magority of allied servicemen(mostly british) to their respective homelands. On top of this the number of Irishmen who served on the allied side dwarfes that of whom served with the axis,a fact those of us who's familes fought with Britain against facism are eternally proud. The very fact you brought up the second world war, A WAR AGAINST FACISM, in support of your facist, racist, idiotic little diatribe shows the epic extent of your ignorance….that and the fact you spell intelligence wrong.

      You keep bleating about "the truth" mysteriously like some obscure character out of Twin Peaks.Please specify this "truth" you are talking about because i am unable to associate that concept with your posts and irrational hatred.
      I don't hate the English.I have the patience to make a distinction between normal English people and scumbags like you or Andrew the Jihadist.

      You're an inferior,feral,racist scumbag who is incapable of conctructing a rational thought.

      This the problem with perpetually angry,they believe that everybody else thinks like them.Sorry to knock the cock out of your mouth,but i'm simply not as bloodthirsty as you are.

    • I completely agree with you. Especially on the point about bringing racial slurs into an argument. A true intellect shouldn't have to use such degrading terms. Also to brand a culture or nation is complete ignorance, and delineates the fact the speaker is not too knowledgable of what he is talking about. National identity isn't very important in the grand scheme of things. In the end we're all the same. But again, some people fall into the propaganda and ignorance that is created by segregation. Crippsy, you seem to keep bringing up the fact of Nazi sympathizing Irish citizens. But it's your ideology, that reflects the roots of the Nazi Party. You said Irish people are a burden to the planet. You don't sound very different to the anti-semitism ideals of Adolf Hitler. And also, I've read some of your arguments about how Irish people are using pure ignorance and hatred towards the British in this thread. You've adopted the very thing you seem to point out as ignorance. The result portrays how ignorant you've become over the weeks of you're rant that fuels acts like genocide, and civil injustice. You can't seem to see, you've become what you denounce. This comment was written without a single derogatory term towards your heritage. If you reply, don't be as predictable and lower yourself to such an appalling level. But I won't judge your country based on your bigotry, I'm not as close-minded as you seem to be at the moment. But again, I hope you will develop your insights into human nature. Instead of pointing out constant stereotypes, or bringing the two parallels of christianity (protestant church and catholicism.) If you follow your church correctly, you would have learned to love your neighbors, or treat others as you'd have yourself treated. I am atheist, but it doesn't stop me taking lessons from the book of christ every now and then.

    • "I for one think we ( Great Britain ) should have wiped this infection out hundreds of years ago" Ye tried, many many times. but ye could not keep us down. you burned us, you beat us, you starved us, you forbade us to speak our own Gaelic language, ye claimed we were terrorist in our own country, so you could treat IRA solders, like there were criminals and jail them indefinitely without proper trial. while men on the side of the uk were allowed to walk free for committing the same crimes, and you have divided Ireland and its people simply to fill the pockets of the royle family. The British are the scum and to cowardly to own up to what they have done to not only the Irish but the entire world (Tiocfaidh ár lá)

    It was the English on here taking Ed's comments at face value that the Irish responded to.There is nothing more venemous than wishing for the genocide of an entire nation and that kind of fanaticism has come from your end.
    Crippsy has claimed that Eire helped the Nazis in WW2.He is has proven himself ineligible for being taken seriously with that claim.
    If you think all of the bile is moving in one direction then you are out of your mind.

  241. its obvious your profession, something to do with defence, and thats why you hate the Irish so much is that you probabley served in Northern Ireland, I thought you would have gotten over that by now or at leat have researched and read the truth.
    Known of my facts are embittered anti English just criticisms but I can be critical about my own country as well, doesnt make me anti-american. I dont really have many Irish pals so my information has come from books, I read alot you should try it something!!. dont just get your opinion from the Sun or the Daily Mail.
    While I am proud of my English heritage I am proud of the culture and language, probabaley something you dont know very much about, but unlike you I am not proud of the Empire and the uninvolved Innocent civilians that were killed with it.
    As for American opinion of the Irish, if you lived here for 5 years you would know how much they are liked and admired and its not always at your expense, broaden your mind old man, let the hatred go,
    READ EDUCATE and INFORM yourself

    • Ok mike I think we're finally finding a little common ground.
      Lets beg to differ on our opinions on the Irish.
      My opinions ar'nt in anyway formed by British newspapers but true experience.
      And of couse the British empire wasn't perfect but you're ignoring every positive it gave to the world
      if you were proud of the English heritage you'd certainly recognise those positives.
      As for the Anglo- American thing I can tell you in my time I've worked for both governments and in those circles believe me the special relationship is still alive. I won't listen to anyone badmouthing my country as you wouldn't with yours,but like you yes i will listen to sensible critism.
      Yes I'me old but I've seen a lot which has formed my views.
      But not fully retired just yet still do some consultancy work.
      Got all the education I need thanks.After all as I said after the British the Americans are truly my favourite people.

    • the worst thing about you Crippsy is you defend the indefensible, you are like a former nazi still going round bad mouthing Jews, your country behaved appalingly towards the Irish, why cant you admit that?, instead of hating the Irish, hate the people who brainwashed you to fight them.
      The reason you hate Irish americans so much is cos they know the history and the facts and they are not anti british just anti slavery anti injustice and anti genocide of the Irish, did u kill a kid in northern ireland and are you trying to justify it ever since?

    • Mike I've followed this differnce between you and Crippsy. And as a patiotic American I can see where he's coming from.
      The guys a patiot you can't change his opinions. It's like someone badmouthing America and excpecting us to agree.
      I've got nothing particulary against the Irish Americans but I feel a lot more comfortable having the Brits as our closest allie than anyone else.
      I've met a lot of Brits and I can say they feel more akin to America than anyone.This pleases me.
      By the way my decsendancy is German/English.

    • me and my boys? what the hell are you talking about, are you having a go at the germans now.i did six years in the british army stationed in germany. me and most of the lads got on well with the germans.except those with idiotic nik nams like crippsy

    • We have alot to thank the Irish for in America, they contributed so much, he shouldt behave the way he does towards them, England is a great country but their treatment of the Irish has been shameful

    • Like what?
      Historicly the English gave us much more.
      Just read your last post to him YOUR OUT OF LINE MAN!
      Are you sure know you what saying.

    • he has an irrational racial hatred of the Irish, the Irish here are just pointing out the history he is wallowing in insulting them, i have no doubt h served in Northern Ireland and no doubt that he did terrible things, The Irish and English have contributed massively to our country, but they also gave the Irish 800 years of what the Jews had 6 of, this is an inescalpable fact. i know what side I am on and thats the side of our brave fire fighters and policemen

    • You're making a hell of a lot of assumptions about this guy.
      Ok sure the Irish may have had a tough time under the Brits so did many others including our own ancesters.
      But don't trivualise the holocaust in an attept to make a point.
      And people on here are saying Crippsy's full of hate.
      Give me a break!

  242. i cannot believe i am reading these comments about "how bad the english are" seriously is this the english that fought a war single handed for 3 yrs to protect every country?? is this the england that has lost over 300 men in more 10 years to fight in a "war" that has really nothing to do with us that AMERICA started over oil!!!! but us been good neighbors you can say helped when you asked!! how many countries have america upset over oil or there arrogance you call us rapists and whatever else but isnt it the americans afgan iraq kuwait that hate the americans and not english???? as for the irish comments i am irish and proud dont use what happens in NI against the whole of ireland!!!!!

    • for once i agree with you yank, because you cant judge protestants in other countries by the way they turned out in northern ireland, anyway all religeons in the war of independence would have been united by a comman cause

    • Don't talk stupid.
      I'me protestant the NI protestants were in danger of being overun thats why they were so vigilant.
      As for the war of independence in the U.S it had to happen because of the taxation law. But the people fighting for freedom from that oppression were inherantly English.
      Don't look to me for justification of your British/English hate its a no go.

    • plasic limey, read your hitory books again.did you not read the bit were george washington thanked the irish for there help in winning. the war.even one high ranking british officer proclaimed, the irish have lost us this war, ok thicko now get back to your history books and try again yank

    • Actually he is playing a character called William Ulsterman in that picture.It's a parody of Ian Paisley.

  244. as one posh english officer was heard to comment, when the irish turned up on the front in the first worled war in there kilts and playing the irish war pipes [bag pipes] the irish are here now we can realy get cracking. and this while there familys were being harrased by the black tans [english terrorist[. at home.

    • Predictable as always. You're quite foolish to brand a whole nation or culture with derogatory terms. Maybe referring to me by my username would be nice. As you see, I did not lower myself to your level by branding you by any stereotypical slur with relation to your heritage. A real intellectual does not need to use these to delineate his points. It just lowers yourself, and makes you out as a neanderthal. But go ahead and keep making yourself out as a racist. I will not judge a whole class of people based on your ignorance. If I did, I would be no better than you at this moment. Regardless, I wish you all the best. I hope maybe someday you will be enlightened, and see the worlds people as more than racial divisions and segregations.

    • Why wait till tomorrow?
      Let me guess,you have to edit the wiki page first? I can imagine you sinking that low.

    • You can imagine me sinking that low…..Just because my views arn't the same as yours dosn't mean my integrety is less than yours.
      Obviously everyone has to just go along with your opinion.
      Did it not cross your mind that the only recruits you've had are fellow Irish.

    • Of course my "recruits" are Irish,we are the ones under attack here.
      What upsets you is that you have been unable to drag myself,Facepalm or maccartaigh down to the depths of vulgarity that you are obviously used to.We've stood back and watched you attempt to denigrate us Irish while making an outrageous spectacle of yourself and single handedly disproving any claims of your superiority.Well done.
      Interestingly,the only people you have been to conscript into your level vulgarity are your fellow English while myself,Facepalm and maccartaigh have maintained a stoic and reasoned response in the ugly face of bloodthirsty calls for genocide,outrageous racism and outright lies and propaganda against our country.
      I felt i was being generous towards the English when i speculated that the fanatical posts on here were merely the work of a loan gunman."Yank" has already admitted to not being an American.
      I'm still waiting on that proof regarding Eire Nazi collaboration…

  246. the angles and saxons etc didn`t arrive until the 4th century you prat, the welsh are mainly celts as is there bryonic language. as for the irish not being irish well i wont even attempt to fathom that one out. may be yank can explain it it`l definatly be in is history books all the other crap seems to be

    • I think it's quite obvious that Yank and Crippsy are the same person.
      He obviously feels compelled to post under multiple accounts in the hope of projecting a consensus that is in line with his stupidity.

    • Sir you are unbelievable
      Just because I agreed with some of Crippsy's points that dosn't mean I am him .. Are you crazy.
      I could my self yank because I know thats what the Irish and the Brits call us.
      So we all have to assume every thing he says is wrong and every thing you say is right how sef opinionated can you be.
      You've got a problem

    • Well yank how does it feel to be me?
      You know what it wouldn't surprise me if those two arseholes were the same person.
      Thanks for your support.

    • if you were a american why didn`t correct my last post when i said that german americans were about to start parades like st patricks day.when every real american would know that german americans have been parading for steuben and oktober fest since 1957. did my little ploy work

    • You are something else.
      Of course I new the Germans had parades I never even commented .
      Anything else you'd like to know about the States.
      Sounds like you're jealous because your not American yourself

    • He is offering us sweeping generalisations on an entire nation,i am offering opinions on him based on his outrageously nasty posts.
      He has also tried to pass off WW2 myth as truth.
      We don't assume i'm right about everything,I AM right about everything.

    • You don't get it do you?
      Crippsy has been running on a campaign of virulent racism and i have been trying to drag his fat head in front of a mirror to see the error of his ways.
      You tell me,how do his comments have any parity with mine?

    • I have said this before the guys a patiot your not going change his mind.
      And the way you keep attacking him so vigorously your obviously a patriot yourself.
      Some of what he says makes sense but I agree a lot of what he says is unproven maybe we ought to look some of that up.
      But I think you guys should just agree to differ that one is going nowhere.
      Don't forget that word racism is a very wide term.
      And certainly in America the word is too often used. Particulary when someone is pushed in a corner

    • I'm guessing you forgot to sign into your "Yank" account for that one.I think that's bad form trying to masquerade as an individual from another country.If your point of view had any merit you wouldn't have needed to do this.
      It was only a matter of time before you stepped in your own dung.

    • They were army deserters but yes they will be officially exonerated over the next few months.Had they deserted the British army they would have been executed on return.
      There was one politician who suggested the Jews be removed.I don't see the big deal,King Edward 8th – long after the end of the war – thought that Hitler "wasn't such a bad chap".Had he not abdicated before the war who knows how history might have panned out?

    • Yeah but Devalera wasn't pro Nazi despite what some British people desperately want to believe.
      You don't think that Britains war effort would have been seriously compromised with a pro Nazi King on the throne?

    • Read my other post yesterday about DeValera's sympathy and Irish coaboration with the Nazi's.All the facts are there for you.
      But don't feel to bad about your misguidence in defense of your kind there are as many other missinformed facts on here by other nationalities which I will be exposing.

  255. He's not Irish.He's British and he is masquerading as an Irish person in an attempt to drive a wedge between the Irish and Irish Americans.Ignore him.

    • Compared to the six other study states, Texas residents are relatively young and poor. As Table 1 indicates, Texas has the highest percentage of its population (39 percent) under the age of 24, and ranks at the bottom of case study states in terms of per capita income. In addition, when measured by Aid to Families with Dependent Children, poverty in Texas is higher than in any of the 50 states. While Texas is second among states in this study in the percentage of the population with a baccalaureate degree and about average in percentage of the population with a graduate degree, it also has the highest dropout rate (with Florida) of the study states and one of the nation's highest illiteracy rates (33 percent). Texas is first among states in this study in percentage of the population who do not speak English in the home.

The brits are still on Irish soil right now this every minute just like they still occupy the Falklands , When we get the north of Ireland back we will then go after Scotland,, What an ignorant prick you are, , Next time you watch British Tv you might take the time to notice every face you see is Asian,, Your country is already lost.

    • Gosh Elizabeth you must love all this attention your getting when describing US Irish.I bet you've never traveled outside your own country? I used to live in Cisco (San Francisco) and my room mate had exactly the same attitude as you. Guess what. He never had the balls to go see for himself what the world is like outside his own state. By the way I was born in Lubbock Tx. So say what you want about Irish people because they'll always come out on top. They are the best loved nation of people in the world no matter were we go. And thats a fact. Look it up. My guess is you had a relationship with some one from Ireland and they broke your hart. Well thats too bad. It happens to everyone. Its either that or your just to damn IGNORANT.

    • No your damn ignorant.
      The Irish in America are Americans. And saying someone should look outside their own country is rich coming fom an American,a nation where only 20% of the population have passports.
      The Irish will never come out on top, they're a third world country who survives by scrounging off of the international comunity.
      Come to Europe and see how much the inbred Irish are loved. More like loathed.
      Not a very good post from someone who comes from the home of Buddy Holly

    • well iv`e got to hand it to you churchill your bloody consistant, having a go at the americans now are we, just because they see through your blind irish bigotry. do you think they dont wach the news. all the world know the tories dont want to be part of europe, its the english that are disliked in europe not the irish. also what would a toffee nosed prat like you know about buddy holly, i didn`t think you`d like anything connected to country music, you know that music wich was originaly taken to america by the irish and scotch irish. i suppose you`ll argue to the contrary as usual

    • The biggest musical phenomena to ever hit the USA was the Beatles.
      They are English.
      By the sound of your childlike mind you'd be too young to remember them let alone Buddy Holly.

    • I LOVE IRELAND BECAUSE…..”
      “Your country has ALWAYS called to me..your sweeping landscapes of rich green speckled with whites from happy sheep…music that makes my insides swell with joy! No other place can quite pacify my soul the way Ireland can. Lost in Ireland? Lucky me.”
      “Ireland feels like a dear old friend…an old friend who greets me with warmth and cheer no matter what the weather is, who serves up the best food and tea ever to cross my lips. An old friend who makes me feel at home so far away from home.”
      “When I visited I wanted to be as close to the everyday folks as possible. Tourist sites are great for photos but for lasting memories it was the Irish people who seemed so familiar…that’s because they reminded me so much of my family.”
      “It’s a place where beauty and serenity, laughter and music come together, wrapped up in myths and legends, and sprinkled with fairy dust and little people.”
      “The friendliness of the people is absolutely unparalleled and the genuine warmth of a cead mile failte drinking a Guinness by a turf fire and listening to trad music is the best experience in the world.”
      “It feels like home. The moment I set foot on Irish soil an overwhelming sense of calm and peace overcomes me. In this age of rushing we often forget to stop and enjoy the beauty of this world. Ireland offers this and so much more.”
      “It's like going home. I have clean air and towns; simplicity at it's finest; warm pubs to talk with new lifelong friends; true quietness when I want it; the bustle of a city when I need it; history, music, art, architecture,and something to do every day.”
      “On a cold day after overlooking the green hills and amazing views there is always within reach a warm pub, a smiling face, a pint, and a story waiting for you.”
      “Everything is so green and lush! Here in America something 100 years old is considered "old". In Ireland, you see things that are older than ANYTHING in America!! It is AWESOME!”

      Never seen any evidence of that.
      It would have to be someone seriously anti American to make that one up.

      It's not a reflection on the American people but sadly it seems that there is a different standard being applied to the Irish people.That's my point.

    • How reliable are your intermediaries. Of course this would be a reflection on American integrity.
      So why wouldnt any help given to th nazi's by the Irish be any of a diferent reflection.

      Your the guy who knows he is beat but will argue anyway.

    • You have no integrity. You opose anything British or American blindly. Talking complete gobledegook to hide your Irish extremism.Only an extremist has no middle ground. Debate with you is pointless you carry on even when disproved.

I'm someone who has a masters degree in a language which your countrymen opposed on my nation hundreds of years ago and I'm sure you cannot claim to have the same. I have no hate for decent English people but the ones like you on the other hand I cannot stand as you have no idea how to address a so called problem you have with my fellow countryman. Nobody forces St Patricks day on you or indeed on Ed so if you don't like the holiday then don't celebrate it, simple as.

Afterall, he grew up in New York and I was born in what is considered the American Riviera (santa barbara, ca). I grew up with imigrant parents that worked hard. We are considered poor by economical guidelines but my parents stand by their family through thick (believe me thick) and thin. The beauty is that they extend their hand to help anyone in need with the same genuine concern. Educated by current standards (degrees, titles, honors stamped with the name of the time) they are not. A genuine respect for humans especially for what most consider lost souls they never flinch to look in their eyes and give what they can and all of us can… a look in the eye and a smile is minimum. If your brave enough clasp a wounded hand wether it be black, black irish, mexican, indian, a racist ass, queen ha ha ha, labels, labels. Don't fear being kind, I have yet to be dissapointed when I am. Loving what you know is easy. Not hating what you don't know or fear is living life. My mom always said you will be given in your life what you fear the most.

  332. Crippsy and Churchill as fellow Briton I would like portray my disgust and anger at the way you are both representing our great nation. How dare you speak on behalf of this nation and insult the Irish people. The Irish have every right to angry and appalled by what they read on this site. You and your kind disgust me to the core. Our nation is one of multi cultural and I personally feel that this has only served to enrich the lives of our children and encourage tolerance towards people from different ethnic backgrounds. It would suit both better to actually experience the Irish culture first hand as I do regularly and have never come accross any of the bitterness that you claim they hold to us. Grow the hell up!!!!!

      Englishmen dont suport the IRA, thats like an Irishman supporting the BNP.
      The evil of Irish Republican indoctrination is too deep rooted in you to justify you having any claim nor allegance with 'decent English'. Thats why you would have no comprehension nor conception of what 'decent English' was.
      This has been caused by the perverted anti-British inflicted upon you from a young age I surpose you could call that kind of upbringing a kind of child abuse.
      My prostrate is fine I could still outlast you in any way you could name. Your a nobody.

  353. You keep harping on about how the Irish are being racist to English people on this site when infact you are the worst racist on here. You say the Irish were terrorist! So were the English!! What the hell is your problem? Every country in this world has a disliking to another country. Ive spend holidays in london and never had problems with the english people quite the opposite actually. And from being in london for both St.Patricks day and St.George's day there is no need to tell you which one is celebrated more!! Obviously from older posts you have spent time in Northern Ireland during the troubles but have you ever set foot down the south of Ireland?? I think some comments on here from people are disgusting and brutal. Alot of people on this site are living in a different century. You Crippsy are in your 60's and should really have a bit more cope on than coming onto a site like this slagging a nation off. You are living in the past when relations between the countries where strained and people have moved on but obviously you cant. And that goes for the Irish on here too less of the horrible comments it's childish.

  359. The Jewish conspiracy is known the world over. The holocaust denier Mark Weber, who is director of the American Institute for Historical Review said a few years ago that "Since the 1960s, Jews have come to wield considerable influence in American economic, cultural, intellectual and political life … close to half its billionaires are Jews.
    They claim that the Jews control the media and to make sure that is manifested in the Americas policy towards Israel where Israel seem to get a freer hand in dealing with rivals then any other countries. But is all this is just to hide the true conspiracy in the world the Irish Conspiracy.?
    Now many foreign readers of this are saying ah but the Irish are great they are great craic everyone loves the Irish. But this may all be a myth to hide the fact that the Irish are closing in on world domination created by the Irish controlled media and grip on the most powerfull office in the world.
    One of the most powerful media figures on the right is Bill O’Reilly an Irish American one of the most powerful on the left is Michael Moore an Irish American. But it doesn’t stop in front of the camera.
    One of the most powerful media moguls is Rupert Murdock. He controls Fox news one of the most powerful news agency in America The Times in London Britain’s newspaper of record, the Sun the largest selling paper. Sky News one of Britain’s top news channels. He also has numerous Australian titles. So is he Jewish? No but his mother is of Irish decent. Tony O’Reilly owns the Independent in Britain. The owner and CEO of the Tribune company which owns many of the big American papers is Dennis Fitzsimmons which is an Irish name this suggests that he is Irish, the president of the broadcast division is Patrick Mullen. If you look across other papers you will also see many Irish names appearing as Editors.
    But possibly the most damming statistic is this.
    George W Bush’s great great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Butler so he and his father have Irish Ancestry
    Bill Clinton had Irish Ancestry
    Ronald Regan had Irish Ancestry
    Jimmy Carter Wife’s mother was of Irish Decent
    Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch King, Jr so is in fact of Irish Ancestry
    Richard Nixon was of Irish decent
    John F Kennedy was of Irish decent
    So in the last 46 years only Lyndon Johnson has no Irish connection that I can find.(and we all saw JFK didn't we maybe he is part of another organisation trying to stop the Irish) The Irish are infiltrating the world order. Look at leaders of other countries where the Irish have gone you will see that they have infiltrated the higher echelons of power.
    Now much of the facts may be indeed a bit murky all such world domination plans are conducted in secret behind closed doors. However the evidence is a lot stronger then Jewish Conspiracy theory. But if you still don’t believe that Irish wheald more power then any other people. I will leave you with this question What national holiday is celebrated in more countries and to such a large extent that rivers are coloured then the Irish St Patrick’s Day?
    Edit 07/02/06 the new President of the International Court of Justice is Rosalyn Higgins . Will anyone believe me until it is to late.
    Update: Tony Blair's mother is from Donegal. So he is also Irish.

    • Well WG thats a good point which obviously couldnt have been written by maccarthaigh.
      But I think youv've played far to reliantly on the name game.
      Names in the British Isles have been much intermingled over the past 400years due to integrations of peoples for various reasons. eg Gerry Adams {English name} staunch Irish Republican, Lord Arthur Wellesly {Irish name] Great British statesman. So this being I think you'r concerns are a bit off the mark.
      But it stil leaves everybody confused as to what your afiliations actually are.

    • Well that is spot on gladstone But you didn`t mention that most of the presidents after Washington had irish blood also

    • Thats not true.
      As said the history of the British Isles for a thousand years has mixed names and blood, virtually no one has a bloodine here to solely one of the four nations.
      This then became even further diluted with intgration of all nations within America.
      I think you'd do better to judge by achievment than bloodline.
      Man went to the moon and the first langusge spoken from there was English.

    DEATH TO CRIPPSY

  377. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the aftermath of the massacre by British troops of civil rights protesters in Derry, Ireland during 1972
    In my opinion, John Lennon should be recognised as the greatest Irish singer ever: his California-based biographer Jon Wiener after all said that Lennon "thought of himself as Irish." The Irish roots of the two main members of the Beatles, Lennon and Paul McCartney, has not yet been fully acknowledged, despite the fact that Lennon, like McCartney, also had two Irish Grandparents. Incredible then, considering how well known the Irish roots of the world's most popular duo of songwriters – they are for some strange reason, not listed for example in The Guinness Book of Irish Facts and Feats by Ciarán Deane (Guinness Publishing, Enfield, Middlesex, 1984).
    The Beatles came from Merseyside – an area around the city of Liverpool which has the largest Irish population in England, mainly as a result of the exodus of people from Ireland during the Great Famine in the 1840's. Early in their career, the Beatles had played in Ireland three times: in Dublin and Belfast in 1963, and once again in Belfast in 1964. It was after the split of the Beatles in 1970, that both Lennon & McCartney began releasing songs about the Irish question – all of which were all banned by the BCC: McCartney wrote Give Ireland Back to Irish which became a hit single in 1972, and Lennon wrote Sunday Bloody Sunday, and The Luck of The Irish, both of which were on the album Some Time In New York City that was also released in 1972.On one hand The Guinness Book of Irish Facts and Feats informs you, for example, that the Socialist anthem, The Red Flag was written by Jim Connell from Co. Meath in Ireland (d. 1929), and under the heading "Top-selling contemporary Irish and Irish-related popular music artists" it lists only U2, Van Morrison and Bob Geldof. Under the heading "The London Irish", it lists John Lydon from the Sex Pistols (whose father is a Gaelic speaker from Co. Galway), Boy George, Elvis Costello and The Pogues – but nowhere is either Lennon & McCartney, or the Beatles mentioned – but then again neither is another world famous Irish singer – Mary O'Brien – commonly known as Dusty Springfield.
    Lennon – like another famous son of Ireland, Che Guevara Lynch – was more Irish than for example than either President Kennedy or Ronald Reagan, but l suspect that the main reason why the Irish state has not given these two proper recognition is because they were both regarded probably as dangerous revolutionaries and atheists – in Lennon's case, for example, he once sang about his opposition to the Catholic Church in Ireland, and expressed outright sympathy with the Irish Republican movement in his song Sunday Bloody Sunday:
    Repatriate to Britain
    All of you who call it home
    Leave Ireland to the Irish
    Not for London or for Rome!

    • I have just discovered these famous people are all of Irish decent.
      Gengis Kahn,Peter Sutcliffe,Idi Amin,Benito Musilni,Charles Manson,Gadaffi,Fred West,Moira Hindley,Adolph Hitler,Al Capone,Ian Brady,Sadaam Husain.Ho Che Min, Oh and Lenny Murphy.[Good Ol Len}
      Apart from the other two long inacurate boring fairy stories that I posted that everyone laughed at there is one mistake in this one for which I apologise.
      None of the above names have decended as low as the Irish

    • The truth always hurts the most my little pufta wufta,Read and absorb if thats possible with your miniscule brain

    • Talking to yourself agaiin Crippsy, there`s a Psychiatric description for that ailment BOYO

    • Sorry I've been away but obviously u've still been busy researhing looking for any articles in a vain attempt to justify your forlorne cause.
      John Lennon and at some times Paul McCartney when fashionable were subversives,both brilliant musicians but commonly anti establishment.Be it either against British or American policies.Both were born in England and niether of thier parents were Irish.
      And the real truth is none of the above mentioned artists could have futhered their carreers without the British music industry.
      As for bloody Sunday the British army will still claim they were fired upon first.
      Being that the Irish government oposed the IRA dose that mean Lennon was oposed to them too? This would make this article with all of its inaccuracies complete folley.
      Why dont you produce your own blogs instead of posting this extremist rubbish.

    • Sorry to burst your arrogant bubble Crippsy,But the real reason for there american success was the Ed Sullivan show, Coast to coast television

    • They were famous in Britain first.
      Anyway I was refering to all of the artists in that silly blog.

      Its easy to sound arrogant amonst most of the ill informed paddy idiots on here.

  384. First of all APOLOGY accepted. I suppose the public apology your PM gave to us last year was for nothing then. Your PM indeed admitted that your army were not shot at first. As for Lennon and Mc Cartney i never claimed they were Irish only that they were of Irish decent and of course they needed the british music indutry if they wanted to be big on the world stage. And there you go again using propoganda words like extremist which has no place with regards to any of my comments.

    Reply
    • Firstly DC never apologised on behalf of me nor the British army.
      In the interests of diplomacy these PC politiians will sell their countrymen down the river regardless of the truth.
      And I understand your comments about L& McC which only proves that was a blog not written by you. Sorry if you dont like the term extremist but how else could you describe ridiculous statements in those articles like the Irish are taking the world over and those wildly remote decendency connections of famous people to Ireland.These are the desired ideals someone desperately trying to promote credibility of a cause which was perpitrated by terrorism.
      There is one thing you paddys will never understand about the average English working man that is none of us could remotely care less about who owned the north of Ireland,it dosnt affect our lives in the slightest. What we do care about is terrorist killings of innocent people which is the route your people chose to prolect thier cause,
      The British are not your problem but the protestants in the north would be,a force you could never defeat.
      As I've said all along your real dislike for the British is based on shear Jealousy.
      I can see now its only cowardise stoping you revealing your real name.

  391. This is the same pro Irish bull shyte that has appeared time and time again on this site.
    The facts are inacurate and based on a theory that the Irish are actualy achievers.
    The names mentioned as Irish achievers wouldnt form 5% of the amount of British achievers. And none of the British names would have to be looked up they are household.
    I am also breath taken and it beggars belief the extent you will go to in research in an attempt to substantiate Irish credibility.
    Fintan,these two posts are almost as forlorn as previus one read on here atempting to link famous people by name decendency to Ireland.
    Fintan these statements are merely based on your blinkered opinions and not reality.

      Ireland and the Irish are a laughing stock the world over only infamous for stupidity.
      You ought to thank the English/British ortherwise you'd have no one to blame for your inability to be taken seriously internationaly.

    • Its not a matter weather i would like the English to be hated,The fact of the matter is that they are; All of the world love the irish and look up to them,and thats a fact.By the way i like the way you have suddenly changed from English to English/British are you looking for support, Idont think you`ll get it off the Scotch and the Welsh, they seem to be following in the footsteps of the Irish to indepenance, Jack you really are the stereo type English thick gobbin, do you wear a funny straw hat and chew on a straw, Who would be jealous of a Backward country like yours

    • You are dreaming ,im English and have been all over the world they all think the Irish are just scroungers a second class peolple.
      British people have respect everywhere.
      The North of Ireland will always be British and the rest of Britain remains firmly in tact.
      Theres a masive diference between the way it is and the way you'd like it to be.
      Bet your a drunk with frecles among the wrinkles with dodgy brown teeth and breath to match,thats a stereotype paddy.

    • No there you go again!
      Only despised by the Irish out of sheer jealous frustration.
      Then the Irish wonder why the English despise them back.
      The answer is people like you.
      And Im definately not cripsy.

    Whats more funny is they are actualy begining to believe thier own fairytale publicity.

    • Seems to me like in the early days there was just as many slave owners with Irish names as English names.
      So from where im sittin yous both as bad as each other

    • Obviously when you say the rest of the world that would mean you have never been to Europe.
      The Irish are the gypsies of Europe with no respect at all they are vagabonds.
      Try going outside america and you will see.

    • been to ireland twice. canada and mexico on charity trips. the irish were trained to travel. brush up on the history of ireland. the irish are all over the world for a reason. oliver cromwell. i know alot for a dumb american. we learn about the history of every nation in a class called contemp world studies. learned about all sort of slavery but the irish. u must be dumb. like a pitbull, u can raise it to bite or u can raise it to be a companion. im pretty sure (100% sure) they where trained to bite. so dont be suprised. learn about how the irish where treated in america as well as the rest of the world. but wait, u cant stay at ur home or u will die of starvation. fckin dumb ass world we live in. michael collins got a free state in 1921, not even 100 years ago. open ur eyes. all irish have a natural fire, no matter where u reside. ever seen a barbadian / irish person. funky lookin people. wait! why are the irish in barbados? why hate the irish, i think they have suffered enough.

    • You sound brainwashed and full of hate [contempt world studies] what next. Have you heard yerself.
      Youd have no place in modern Ireland we dont harbour hate here we dont have enemies. why dont you just move on and do something for yourself in the world. You sound like the worst enemy you got is yerself.
      Ireland is a peaceful country so just stop it.

    • im just defending agains what people say about the irish. brainwashed….. u must be insane or never been through school. what did i say to STIR THINGS UP? u just dont want to hear me defending the irish? but then the irish say they hate me lol

    • The Gypsies of europe are the romaniansIn britain we have English and Irish Tinkers who were originaly itinerate ScottishTin Cutters a couple of hundred years ago, We also have the Romanian ones

    • Your post shows just how little you know about America we have every type of Gypsie you can imagine; English Gypsies Irish Gypsies Romanian Gypsies New age travelers Hippies. You name them we`ve got em, and seeing as your names Duval we`ve probably got French Gypsies aswell, Are you sure your`e not one you f ucking Jerkoff

    • alright captain obvious. my family didnt come to america till the 1800s. i dont care about before then. the irish helped fight the brits in the revolution……did we go back and help the irish? irish have taken what? we built the fckin railroads lol and were the majority of miners. did the jobs the pretty boys didnt want to. u hear what im saying lester?

    • When you say pretty boys did you mean intellegent people.
      So what your saying is the Irish were just a workforce. so were native Americans.Italians.Polish and believe it or not some poor English and German immigrants!
      So why should the Irish claim all of the working class hero status.
      The English had already laid down rules of government ,education,trade and commerce and a civilised way of life.Admitedly we replaced thier government with our own but the fact is thier contribution to our early infastructure and code of life in america was a little more than an imported workforce. Its ok saying you dont care about what hapened before the 1800s but the fact is the basis of our way of life was formed then and not by the f ucking Irish.

    • ur right. but i didnt say it was the irish 100%. just saying there not lazy. and the jobs the irish and asians did were key to american development (railways). again it wasnt all the irish. my op was kinda harsh. ima nice guy but have a little fire inside of me. just like everyone whos ancestors went through hardships. i feel lucky to be alive. the irish pop. is still only 1 third of its old population. did u know the irish are the most firtile race on the planet. weird coming from a small island. i respect ur arguments tho

    • Im an American and your embarassing.
      Listening to your posts Im so pleased that Im not of Irish decent.

      Or maybe hes English too.
      F uckin Jerkoff.

    • Sorry to hear about your own personal tragedies but thats a million miles from the point.
      Everyone knows the story of how so many Irish ended up in America.
      There was 20 years of trouble recently in the north of Ireland with only a handfull of people in the south suportring what went on up there,but the so called Irish americans perpitrated that conflict from 3 thousand miles away not knowing what it was all about. We were all sick of it.
      The Irish have been opressed by the gentry for hundreds of years but so have the english poorer classes thats why they just the same as the irish are spread all around the world.Americans seem to think its a continual battle between the english and irish people,its nothing like that millions of irish decendents live in england we all get along fine now.All i am saying is the english had a bigger influence on the formation of America than what your saying.Almost every other town in those eastern states is named after an english one.Thats a lot more than a handfull were there before the irish famine.They were probably subdued after the independence war.We dont need your suport cos there is no enemy.

    • well tim i got on the internet and stumbled upon this post. judging on what i read, there still is tension…. just in 2009 (not that long ago) they found a 400pound bomb in belfast that failed to detonate. what if it did detonate (would they have ignored it). there is obviously still conflict. i know this from miles and miles away. my last name is mckee. and my ancestors came from county armagh. i live in a land of mutts tim. im proud of my irish blood. doesnt matter where i live. we are alike. i have an open mind so i believe what u are telling me. Northern ireland is a whole diff place from cork tho. well that what my grandmother has told me. and i know alllllll about "the troubles" (what americans call that period of time) im not stupid. my family is 100% irish catholic….. dont get started on catholic history please. just cause im in the USA doesnt mean i cant get involved with my motherland.

    • Tim is enjoying the peace and the friendship with the English.
      It sounds like you would have prefered that pointless conflict in NI to have continued.
      Which is realy brave considertng you live 3000 miles away from it.
      By the way Im an American and Im not a mutt.

    • Would you like a list its endless.
      Im Irish and I would love to give my own people any aclaim I can.
      I have no problem at all with English people and you have to give crdit where its due.

    • id like to hear sumthin that has knowledge to it please. my eyes are open. all i want is to learn why the irish are hated…….. southern ireland is a little different my friend. and im in america and i know this (visited both ni and the republic) will be back this summer. trust me ur people like americans well they seemed interested in what i had to say. i traveled with a folk band and they were the coolest people. u seem different then the irish people i met. oh and dont hate on my grammer but yet again i spent most of my time in NI and the western coast (where i couldnt understand a word)

    • You mean every town changed its name from a Dutch name to an English name.

      The truth is the English comunities were already established here and it was only thier army who were mainly mercenaries who left on independance.
      I think most Americans have been in denial over thier early British influence because of the anti anglo feeling by the Irish.

    • whatsup lester lol
      the colonist were english……but were treated diff then homeland english (also developed a diff accent)……so they fought….won……seperated themselves from the english (as they were english themselves.) The irish helped the colonist fight cause they were in the same situation. of course there is british influence lol. the colonist wanted seperation like ireland. the fact is the english did this everywhere and have yet to pay. the war of 1812 was AMERICANS(not colonist) fighting the english because of cut off trade. the english still tried to be cockheads. The english are so bad themselves wanted seperation lol
      BOTTOM LINE we dont hate the british cause the irish. english people (in england) are so dumb…they dont even care about their grills lol

    • Contradiction in every line.
      Your overwhelming hate for the english/british disqualifies you forming a realistic opinion.
      Your obsessed with promotinng the virtues of being Irish and are inventing your own history.
      Great Britain stands shoulder to shoulder with America in any conflict this pleases me I'd trust them in front of any of our other so called allies. Thier loyalty to the U.S. is unconditional. And I believe this is largely because of bloodlines going way back. The British invented capitalism and thank god we inherited that from them.By the way stay off the booze it sticks out a mile.

    • you are brainless. read a book im talking about the past not the present. the present i see is this rasict "i hate the irish" post. brainless…..

    • yes ur brainless. u cant come up with a logical arguement. tell me why im wrong? were r ur facts?

    • Here we go again anti Anglo feeling by the Irish. The truth is that the Dutch the Germans the Irish the Scots and the Welsh etc were also established communities,It was these groups collectively with the aid of the French that expelled the English

    • You guys crease me up.
      Cos hes saying something anti anglo he automaticaly knows what hes talkin about.
      The wide majority of people who expelled the British were English.
      You people are too biased to take in the truth.

      Think your vastly over rating the strength ot the IRA and seriously under rating Britain who are a former world power.
      And its a fact the IRA were only suported by Irish Americans whos knowledge of the conflict was very limited,people in the South of Ireland by the wide majority never suported the IRA, it was just a small handful of extremists who were not suported any way by the Irish government.

  446. Where were the Irish in world war two? According to Anthony Cave Brown, who wrote Body Guard of Lies, 165, ooo men from the republic of Ireland enlisted in the British Forces in World War 2. Also, thirty five thousand men from Ulster served in the British Forces in WW 2. Most of these men were Catholics. Why. Because due to discrimination they could not get jobs in Ulster. They Orange men did not flock to the British Forces. Think Paddy Finacane or Paddy Mayne or myself. I too served in the British Army. God Bless America and God Bless Americans. On, in WW 2, men from the south of Ireland won seven VCs. And we were neutral.

      The whole world had Britain and America to thank in world war 2. Britain for standing firm and America for coming to the rescue'
      As an Irishman I would have been proud to help.
      God bless the freedom Britain and America gave us all.

      Cripsy is right England is a difrerent class.What hes saying is relevant to Eds blog.
      His opinions on Irish Americans are the same as Eds.The Irish over promote themselves, constitutionaly and historicly the British have had a far bigger influence on our way of life.
      The Irish are like an empty tin can.

  450. I'm living in Ireland trying desperately to get out…I lived there until Irish Republicans stole all the startup capital for my small business through a fraudulent investment firm that was set up to liquidate property holdings by the IRA, investments that were made to hide the Northern Bank robbery proceeds. After that, the Irish dissident fundraisers back in the US whom I knew (only on a social level, but I knew what they were doing) decided that my business needed to be shut down, and sent me a threat to my daughter's life. Right now I'm under the protection of the Loyalist community until the High Court finally grants me custody and I get the hell out of here.
    My story here is a dramatic one of radically changing sides, from being a devoted trad player to learning the hard way why I was lucky to have been raised a Protestant (and in the US). This happened because dysfunctional, rotten people in Ireland rampage unchecked and uncontrolled, and if they target you, you get the blame for it.
    Let me tell you something straight up. I came to Ireland thinking that speaking Irish and playing traditional music would get me far here. What I got was an insular nation of frighteningly closed-minded people, scared like sheep, bullied by a Republican underbelly, many of whom suffered from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome as children and many more of whom are…let's just say, genetically questionable. The top eschelons of the Irish mafia are men bred like stallions who are 6-foot Celtic warriors and muscled like the Hulk. The drunk mutants are their lackeys.
    The Irish in America took their hard survival skills and stubbornness and put it to good use, they were also not inbred due to mass emigration and ended up crossbreeding in the US to stay genetically healthy. Here, it's a different situation. Clannishness, exclusion, racism, all of this is the real story under the lie that is Republicanism. Many Irish are experts at gang psychology and lying to cover up pure evil so well, that they look like complete angels. There is even a term for them: "Cute wh0res".
    Most of the Irish in Ireland are middle-class and hard working and decent. But there's a frightening double-digit percentage of broken people in Catholic Ireland due to pedophile priests, alcoholism, clannish interbreeding, mafia culture, and plain outright ignorance, and the middle-class people let this underbelly of morons dominate, bully, and hurt them. Not because they want it, but because they know that if they stand up to them, they and their families will be singled out and bullied, killed, or burnt down.
    And don't EVEN get me started on knackers or "Irish Travellers". Suffice it to say I lost my shirt on this country because I thought that doing my best to fit in would work (as it does in the US!). I was marked as gullible as a result. And this, unfortunately, is why the entire Protestant community of Ulster feels my pain and understands where I'm coming from.
    The amount of Irish Republican mafia propaganda in the United States is so pervasive, that Americans think Ulster is an occupied territory patrolled by jackbooted English SS soldiers. Nothing could be further than the truth. Ulster is inhabited by an Ulster-Scots Protestant majority of normal everyday people, who know what hatred and ethnic cleansing they have had to face for 400+ years. Because Ulster has a half decent economy compared to the Republic, emigration is scarce so there are few who can come to the States and set the record straight. But US money is still flowing to illegal terrorists because of this stupid propaganda and it's only the mafia kingpins and their inbred, alcohol-driven lackeys that are laughing.
    Sinn Féin has less than 14% of the Dáil in the Republic; at least they're trying not to let the mafia win. The Irish are not the human cartoons in Ed Anger's column, but they certainly let themselves be bullied by them, and the bullies win. I can't live in that, or work in that; and I certainly won't let them win. So that's me in an orange sash and bowler hat, I suppose.

    • And if you believe that load of shi t you`ll believe anything, Sounds like Protestant propaganda to me,say no more.

    • Mrs Survivor.
      I have been unbiasedly reading posts on this site for the past six months.
      YOUR POST IS THE MOST COMPELLING REALISTIC ACCOUNT ON HERE.
      I admire your honesty and sympathise with your plight.
      Please escape get back to the U.S. and spread the truth. Most Americans particulary those paporting to be Irish are totaly miss informed about the sincerity of the IRA. They villailise the English to perpetuate there crime ridden greedy motives. The only cause they are fighting for is there own greed.
      And thru my own experience I can verify everything said in your post.
      Thank god for the Orangemen. And good luck my friend.

    • Thank you. Ed Anger's column on WWN isn't exactly the ideal platform on which to proclaim fact and truth, but then if I had chosen somewhere neutral, there wouldn't be anyone reading about what happened (is happening) to me. What's happened to me is bizarre enough to be on the WWN site, the only difference is, it is factual and the govt-approved details can be corroborated by the UK/IRL major media.
      The front company CEO of the ra's property liquidation front who stole my capital, is on the lam. The UK govt isn't digging any deeper, at least on the surface, due to a blatantly veiled threat via their solicitors of major breakdown in the peace agreement if they did. The beast I poked is huge; and only in retrospect did I realize how huge. I could corroborate this with a link via the CEO's solicitors but of course this would indicate my identity, which I won't.
      While living where I'm living I've had to put my foot down with infiltration by Shinners on several occasions, attempting to interfere with my court case. Accusations of child abuse, accusations of racism, you name the vice, according to SF's grapevine I've done it. Destroying reputation is SF's first major tactic. As far as SF is concerned, to them I'm the evil madam of 1000 cathouses and nothing will tell them different, although I am Ms Normal, a practicing Christian and morally bound by my own conscience.
      I really don't know what can change Ireland for the better; I doubt that there's anything other than waiting for the damaged generations to die out. If Gerry Adams' brother is any indication, we'll need to wait for everyone currently over 40 in the Republic to become pensioners, and have a full second generation of people used to peace and mas s media, before anyone even thinks about bringing down the border partition set up in the Ulster Covenant.
      But that's just wishful thinking. If generational dysfunction, memory and hatred is anything to go by, partition will be here for a very, very long time. Partition isn't there to limit the civil rights of Catholics in the North, which is SF propaganda's blatant lie, considering the UK govt bends over backward to accommodate them culturally (as they do the Welsh and Scots.)
      Partition isn't there to oppress Catholics, it's there to protect Protestants from what I lived through. The majority of decent, honest people living in the Republic have to live through it every day, and keep their mouths shut for fear of their lives. There is more in common between middle-clas s families in the Protestant North and the southern Gaeltachts, than there ever was between Republican mafia and middle-clas s Catholics. If there ever were a way to unite them on the front of coming down as hard on criminals, scumbags, and rogue Shinners, as the PSNI do, and a commitment to honesty in the Republic's government, you'd see a United Ireland.
      But I think that ship has sailed, for a few generations at least.

    • I dont think waiting for the current generation of worped terrorists to die off will ever make a difference.
      They still blame the English for the potato famine which was 160yrs ago, so that theory s not gona work.
      Anyhow as an American at college I studied the history the British Isles. The reason the North is still British is because the protestant population who have been there for over 300yrs want it that way.
      It would be a very irresponsible for any British government to hand NI over to Eire, the civil war which would then ensue would also carry on for generations with the likely prospect of the Orangemen winning.
      You know thats a probability you are there and you know how thier seige mentality works and how strong that feeling is.
      The evil masquerading as republicanism is fuded by miss informed Irish Americans, and until the U.S. is re educated with the truth of this 'cause' this criminal evil will continue.
      Britain is Americas closest friend but I feel sorry for the way they have been treated due to the Irish school of hate in the U.S.

  452. I am Irish and all of what you have to say is very true. I am not saying this out of bitterness but out of reflection and pity for them as they just don't know any better. The trouble is with the vast majority of the the Irish working class have been denied access to religion and education for centuries on end. Slaves all but in name. Hence the warped sense of right and wrong. And if you are straight they think that your just stupid ,I now live in The neighbourhood in the stockbroker belt outside London (Chorleywood) and they just cant believe how that fool managed to get there. But there will come a generation that like the generations before that changed and for the better . A generation that will not believe in the casting of curses ,a generation that can read and write effectively .Then reason will prevail but this will take at least a century . That a generation with no malice in its disposition will prevail there will be live and let live. Also don't go joining the Orange Order as a united Ireland will prevail in 50 years time .( vastly more educated) You leave nothing to your grand children as internationally the Loylaists are only seen as Nazis. I have seen the same in S. Africa after the fall of apartheid in S. Africa. As I lived there. I wish you all the best ….

    • hi,just been reading about your plight here in Ireland,i am born and bred irish and live down south,firstly can i just say that not all of us irish are how we are portrayed here and in defence of the most of us we would like to think that we are a kind sort of people not that many would think so,yes you are correct that there is the part of the society here that are still lving in the dark ages and stil have grudges but for me i couldnt care less what happened years ago is not in my timeline and raising my own family is important and putting food on the table and holding down a job,as fo inbreeding i think thats best left to the travelling community,apparently we areone of the most highly educated country in europe if not the world which is why we have a lot of IT companies here,i think you may have met the wrong side of Ireland and irish people and for anyone who thinks along the same lines then come and see for yourself everybdy has their own opinions

    • I must reply to you yet again if you have been robbed of every thing starting off with your basic self respect as I was then forget Ireland .We only pass this way but once and our lives are only to short .

  457. Well, that was intellectually stimulating. Now how about a statistical counterpoint to my personally experienced claims? Oh wait, that's right. Shinners don't argue intelligently. They react, shout, accuse, socially assassinate, strike first, and ask questions later. Probably due to being punched in the head as children and used as booty fodder for the local vatican pervert. As opposed to the rest of Ireland, who are their cowering victims…except, of course, for Ulster's Protestants. So, eh, NO SURRENDER.

    • The Irish are not capable of running thier own country so why should they claim any form of independant identity.
      Firstly Britain controled and and kept Ireland because it was thier soveriegn territory.
      Then allowed them home rule and employed the majority of thier workforce in England thus proping up tier economy.
      Then Ireland joined the EU who since then have proped up thier economy and now to thier own detremant.
      Ireland has to have someone to lean on.
      They should be very grateful to Britain instead of being jealous.

    • All this from somebody that hales from a country that owes more money than the Greeks, and probably Spain aswell, I think its the English that need other countries to lean on. Also i cant see any other countries being jealous of england.

  481. Sorry but this will be lost in the maze of that Im sure. The dark ages for Ireland was between 1600 and 1800 ok.
    It was not untill 1829 that they gave the vast majority of the population back freedom of religion and education fact .
    Collecting taxes for them became a nightmare as they reduced the population to the point of base savagery fact they knew this themselves.
    Take religion and education from any society (on pain of death )and it will go to the wall so to speak .
    In 1922 less than 100 years after rescinding the Penal Laws the republic came into being. The four generations prior to that the British Government did everything to prevent the population getting an education they never built a school worth talking about.
    The second campaign of genocide was 60 per cent I will never understand Cromwell on more than the Jews understand Hitler.

I mean, I once watched the New York parade and it was just boring. That's it. Full of marching and brass bands. Secondly, the Irish don't see the English as their "sworn enemies" anymore-we've been living and letting live for decades. I admit that there are still problems up the north: I was there recently and there really were places you'd get nervous walking through (I'm from the far south, on the coast. There's no mistaking which part of Ireland my accent is from!). I think Ireland is a nice enough place, nicer than some, and you can't judge an entire nation on the actions of a few people.

The Irish as European history goes are the lowest on the European totem pole. They have yet to prove the English Crown had them all wrong. I do see the Irish as hate mongers and try to avoid them. They are VERY clannish people.

    • Oliver those sentiments are the same as mine.
      I am from a small town in Virginia but my mother is English and my father has an English blood decendency.
      Before the American money machine ruled the world Britain did and I'm proud of that, the influence Britain had on the world helped civilise the darkest corners of the world, and as inventors scholars explorers and pioneers thier influence was a benefit to mankind. Many unruley uneducated nations were given a code of conduct and leading in later years as an ability to govern.
      Yes I agree the Irish are bottom of the pile and can only look on with jealousy towards the English.
      Reading thru this site you will see evidence of that jealousy eminating in hatred.
      The craziest part is their total disbelief that the whole world is NOT in love with the Irish.

    • Your so right. They think everyone in America and the the rest of the world love them
      Lets get it straight the irish have nothing goin for them and never have.

    • Where do you get off with this s hit man.
      Cromwell ruled Ireland and you never got any of it back for 300yrs,and that was only a negotiation that suited Briitain.You've never defeated the Brits you dont have the balls or brains,the proof of the fact is NI is still British Its only dumb misguided irish -americans who believe that s hit and thier influence has made Holywood portray the irish as heroes when infact they are just worthless a ssholes.

  487. if your from british decent you are the enemy in america you are the racist scum from the south
    the hilly billys that every one laughs at including americans your a joke to the world the people that every one looks down at you probably have a mullet hair the irish live in the citys in america they built america help build american politis tammy hall was set up by irish immigrants they fought in all your wars they fought the racist south in the civil war and quess what kicked your asses to they fought the british in the war of indendence actually george washington said in a famous quote "Ireland, thou friend of my country in my country's most friendless days, much injured, much enduring land, accept this poor tribute from one who esteems thy worth, and mourns thy desolation." the irish help kick you scum out of america it was said that nearly a third of the rebels where irish in the war of independence there millons of irish in america so your the minorty in america down south that nobody takes serious you probaly were a bush supporter because you to are brain dead and give america a bad name but then again your probaly not even american your probably just some english moron or one of them even bigger shit bags up the north pretending to be american your very uneducated you have not got a clue

  497. Ireland has single handedly saved Western Civilization….how you ask? Easy….the dark ages. When Rome fell and your protestant anglo-saxon germanic barbarian ancestors were overrunning the carcass of the Roman Empire and pillaging and worst of all burning Roman libraries…the Irish were going through a cultural Renaissance. Ireland had writing pre-christianity but it was called Ogham. They learned Latin and the Latin alphabet when Christianity came to the country around 500 AD. While Angle-land aka England and mainland Europe were in a cultural stagnation, burning their precious books written by Roman & Greek philosphers because they were an affront to christianity, Irish monks were reading everything they could get their hands on and writing it all down and making copies of them. The Irish manuscripts and monks of the European "dark ages" preserved all of the knowledge of the Ancient Greeks & Romans. Without them, most of that knowledge would have been lost. This is historical fact. Without my ancestors saving their newfound knowledge and writings, your germanic ancestors would have succeeded in burning down everything from books, manuscripts, historical records, religious writings (greco-roman pagan writings not jesus writings). By the time the mainland Europeans got their act together….mainly by the germanic barbarians becoming "romanized" and christianized, they were able to recieve and trade knowledge, books & copy the manuscripts from the Irish monks. I also give a shout out to the monks of Alba…aka Scotland aka Caledonia….check out one of the books that goes into detail regarding this little known bit of history <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Irish-Saved-Civilization-Hinges-History/dp/0385418493/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344608564&sr=8-1&keywords=how+the+irish+saved+civilization&quot; rel="nofollow"&gt <a href="http://;http://www.amazon.com/Irish-Saved-Civilization-Hi…” target=”_blank”>;http://www.amazon.com/Irish-Saved-Civilization-Hi

Ed is obviously a sad, ignorant, bigotted little man with little idea or knowledge of history, no moral compass and probably single and unloved. After all what self respecting person would want to have a relationship with such a pathetic specimen as he? As for me, I was born in Scotand, have Irish blood on both side of my family, brought up Catholic, ( now collapsed), live with an English Protestant, also collapsed, live in England, served in the armed forces of the U.K. and was proud to do so. I know my history, am not too fond of the English oppression of most of the world over the centuries, I kind of remember they had a bit of a spat with a little fledgling nation called America at one point. I once met a American who; whilst being lovely guy; was a tad bombastic, a national trait I have noted. He loudly announced that he lectured in American history. To my shame; but the amusement of the gathered company; I asked him " A short course, is it?" Not his fault that Ireland, Scotland,Wales and England have centuries of history over the Americas. So Dearest Ed, Please keep your vile and racist opinions to yourself, and perhaps you may; one day; become a fully functioning member of the human race.

    as for your military, yous rely TO MUCH on technology and if any country was to hit you, thats the first thing they would go for, which would cripple you severely and dont be to keen on the americans and british never going to war, it could happen, nobody knows what the future holds
    as for my country, we have given and earned the respect to/of other nations, us being neutral earned us that respect also but we lost being neutral when we allowed american war planes to land in our airports which many nations disagreed with.
    we have always supported other nations by given humantarian aid when needed, medical aid and supported many countrys when conflict occurs by sending in peacekeepers, we even supported yous by letting your soldiers use our airports inbound to iraq and help strengthen your ties to the EU, these are all proven facts
    I lived and studied in the USA and never once got a racial remark or stare from anyone, i actually gained a lot of respect from americans and most of them werent irish americans
    clearly you only met irish americans and have never being to ireland, so i suggest you come over here first before judging and discriminating against us, i hate discriminating against the USA but i will continue to do so to defend the irish people and my country, the same thing you are doing.

    • 'I trained with the Royal Marines' 'Us and the English respect each other' and many more a ss licking comments about the Brits from you. The Brits dont give a s hit about you an your medievil religous rows.
      Thats why you are up thier a ss ,just in case they come and take that republic back from you.
      But then why would they they were pleased to see the back of it.

    • and you call that arse licking?? lol you really are thick, "i am from british stock" or "i am english descendant", thats arse licking, especially when you mention it in the majority of your clueless comments
      i mentioned my military service and my training once lad, i dont keep saying it over and over like you do, and fyi there are irish, welsh and scottish regiments in the royal marines besides british ones, i could have trained with either one of those ya stupid dunst lol
      get with the times lad and learn a thing or two ya stupid eejit, you still think we are back in the troubles

    • Youv just magnified your stupidity,the welsh, northern irish and scots are British you dumb f uck.
      Implying the only British are English.
      Theres a life outside that trailor of yours.

    • there not british you stupid twat, just because they are apart of great britain doesnt make them actually british by blood, they have the same rights as the british considering the british are in charge, thats about it, you stupid american cunt LOL
      and your the one to speak about trailors ya thick redneck cunt, go back to school and learn something ya dunst
      and you have a nerve to lecture me about stupidity considering every one of your comments gave your thickness, LOL

    • I think your beyond help
      British is someone from Great Britain you dumb fuc k any one of the four nations.
      Stop embarrassing your countrymen you imbisile.
      Think all those irish jokes the Brits come up with must apply to you.LOL

    • Ive met plenty of irish, scots and welsh who all consider themselves as British,and none of them would appreciate a jerkoff like you speaking on thier behalf so stop making yourself sound more ridiculous than you actually are.
      And as for picking up one spelling mistake of mine just proves how an illiterate a sshole like you is scraping the barrel for credibility. Your posts have no punctuation and are barely ledgible…..lad…….lol.
      I bet uve never met an American or even been outside that hopeless bogland you are trying to defend.
      And stop trying to make out you and the Brits share the same jokes .The Brits look down upon you thats why they see you as a joke.Get an education and stop living in that anti American fairyland.

    • Its obvious that in Ireland they never taught the use of capital letters……lad
      But an insult match with you is futile……you just dont get it!
      I just read your response to Bill's post on Britains resolve in WW2.
      It was beyond your capability to recognise the magnitude of what Britain did.
      Which just says to me that youv inherited by indoctrination of that hate for Britain by your countrymen,leaving you too biased against them to give credit where its due.
      So what chance would America stand of getting its just apraisal from you for its efforts to keep the world free.

  530. So why didnt your government declare war on him……ours did.
    You cowered under a white flag.
    There was no conscription in the North those volunteers probably came from there.
    Pearl harbor was the Japs.
    Without the U.S all of you people over there would have been under the jackboot.
    So give thanks to the United States.

    Reply
  531. your government declared war on him AFTER pearl harbour, and no those men came from the republic of ireland, and you really mean if it wasnt for the brits and brave resistant fighters, we would all be under the jackboot…and dont be calling us cowards considering yous coward under the white flag for the first 5 years of the war

    Reply
  532. spot on, i too spent some time studying in the states and the irish americans are nothing like the irish, i wouldnt say i love england but i will say is that i do like it, despite the conflict, i have many relatives that are british which i get on with, so tbh i really couldnt hate…the only problem i have are the yanks coming on this telling us our history which they have no clue about, tbh it amuses the hell out of me

    Reply
  533. is that so alex, and where is your evidence that every nation hates ireland?? yeah stfu lol, i think your comment about the irish is mainly referring to yourself ya cunt

  535. 'Ugly ungreat Britain'?
    Its a genetical fact the irish are the ugliest race on the planet due to centuries of insestual breading.
    As for ungreat Britain. What have the irish given to the world apart from thieving travellers?
    Your an idiot mate.

    Reply
  536. bill the only reason yous got involved in WW2 was for personal reasons nothing else e.g, pearl harbour
    when england needed yous the most, yous turned them down, refusing to get involved, thats cowardly especially for a strong and powerfull nation
    yes i agree, ireland should have got involved in the war, but we have a reason why we didnt, yous dont. ireland back then had a defence of roughly 100,000 to 200,000 men, our army wasnt as powerful as yours or the british,
    yes i agree our governments were acting like cowards but i cant class them as cowards considering the majority of them fought in the "irish war of independence", we were neutral, which means we were not taking ANY side of the war, which is why hitler wasnt condemned by the government, but the people did condemn him… at least the 165,000 irish men from the republic went over along with a further 35,000 men from ulster went off to fight hitler alongside the british, i wouldnt class them as cowards
    i really dont know why you have so much against the irish bill, i really dont but to be judging us the way you are, considering there are way worse nations out there than us, come on
    and as for inbred i have heard of stuff like that in traveller communities but thats about it, just the same as in your redneck communities

    Reply
    • Thats the most sensible comment you have said and the only one as an American I agree upon.
      The U.S let England down in thier hour of need while they were fighting alone against the largest most evil military machine in history,and for that stance the whole of the free world should be thankfull to them.
      And as an American of Irish decent it hurts me to say that the reason for our delay in joining in with England was the strong anti english feeling by Irish Americans.
      And thats a good reason for me to be more proud of being American than irish-american.
      Could you imagine what a world we would have lived in if the British had given in to the nazis.
      America has no prouder allie.

  537. well putting aside the hatred and insults, the irish are different to the irish americans and if you ever came over, you will notice the difference..many of the irish americans and beaver think the troubles and feud between the irish and british is still on, and been outstraight its not, its all history, its over the irish and british know this
    this site is disgraceful and people like ed and beaver just sicken me, but i know not all americans are like them because i spent 3 years in idaho state university and met a lot of nice ones
    165,000 irish men from the republic enlisted in WW2, and i am proud of that considering they werent forced too, which showed great courage and bravery from the irish as well as the british
    as for the IRA, i do not condone what they did, it hurts me that women and children were among the murdered, but i do not condone what the loyalists did either

  539. Irish isn't a race. It's a pastiche of pict, gael, roman, Norman, Viking, English, Spanish and various randy sailors.
    Of course the proud history of IRA collusion with the Third Reich would have you saying anything glowing about a bunch of pasty racists and slimy pedos living in damp rock houses, who got their farmland they sold to a ghost estate developer for 500 times its value, off murdered Protestants ethnically cleansed out of there in the 1920s to fix the status of the Republic's voting constituencies to "Republican".
    Except now after you snorted your farmland profit in the form of coke and Spanish holiday homes now worth zip, you're all in hock to the EU and every child born in Ireland owes €100,000 at birth for the bailout. How's that freedom working out for you? Fancy a round of Ms Merkel's national anthem?
    I am going to be buying a very large cake for the Ulster Covenant centenary. Partition: wow, was that ever a good idea. Even Catholics up here would agree, you'd be surprised how many of them vote DUP.

  541. well mrs survivor, i had a child born there a couple of weeks back and it wasnt 100,000 euro, get outta that now and it doesnt matter, if you offend the majority of irish people, its classed as racial discrimination and speaking of IRA, i never once condoned what the IRA did, they are as much condemned down here than they are up in NI, yes they are rascists but so are the majority of people on this but thats no excuse to point the finger at catholics or the irish down south, yous arent the innocent victims and neither are we so. honestly i couldnt care less what happens in NI, my only problem is the arrogant americans who come on this who think they know what they are talking about and speak of how the irish are evil and that we are all criminals for supporting them which we dont, and whats even funnier is that they are the ones who supported the IRA with weapons, the same weapons that have not only british blood on them but irish blood aswell, and when its mentioned to them they blame the irish americans and irish to cover their arses but tbh thats all they do is cover their arses, as far as i read on this, irish americans and of course all americans have said they consider themselves to be JUST AMERICAN. As for spanish holiday homes?? lol you must be joking and speaking of murdered protestants, what about the murdered catholics i guess they dont mean anything to you mrs survivor considering your most likely a protestant which i have nothing against in fairness, as for supporting the DUP what yous vote for up there up in NI is completely your business, i will not judge otherwise no matter what religion yous are.
    as for you beaver, you cant like anything you have no clue about even though you happen to only agree with people that are not irish

  543. This is the most disgusting thing I have ever read. Everything that Ed has said is typical stereotype and not to mention racist! If you don't like the Irish or St. Patrick's Day then don't celebrate it. Don't ruin the fun for other people! Also people saying how Ireland only hates England is absolutely rubbish! The English hate Ireland just as much! It is hate that only Irish and England understand, so you American's stop trying to understand it because you won't be able to. I find it fascinating that this is a form of racism yet Ed Anger has not been arrested or even questioned? Racism at it's finest here!!

  548. In the second quarter, Ireland's surplus of €10.3 billion was exceeded only by Germany's surplus of €45 billion and the Netherlands' €11.8 billion surplus.
    Ireland's exports grew by 1% when compared with the first three months of 2011 and the level of imports were unchanged.
    The UK had the largest deficit, €37.1 billion, followed by France at €21.6 billion and Spain's €10.7billion.
    Britain's trade deficit widened sharply in April according to the Office for National Statistics.
    http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0615/irelan … in-eu.html
    Ireland was placed 11th globally out of 82 countries in the 2008-2012 Business Environment Ranking of the Economist Intelligence Unit.
    An annual EU report, released in October 2011, which looks at industrial competitiveness across the region and policy measures adopted by member states to improve competitiveness, named Ireland as one of the best performers in the region. Ireland scored highly in labour productivity, rates considerably above the EU average, along with the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden and Germany. The economy was also rated above the EU average in many aspects of the business environment and work force. The proportion of firms in Ireland classed as "innovating" – those who had introduced new or significantly improved goods, services, processes, in addition to marketing or organisational innovation over a three-year period – was more than 50 per cent. The UK fell into the group where more than 30 per cent of all companies were innovating firms.
    US companies have invested more than $165bn in Ireland, more than in Brazil, Russia, India, and China put together. During the decade to 2010, US investment in Ireland was three times that of China, a population of over a billion.
    Google have their European headquarters in Ireland, as do Paypal, and other major internet firms such as LinkedIn. Major pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Merck also have their European bases in Ireland. Just in the last few weeks, Pfizer, Sky, and PayPal all announced major expansions, involving the creation of thousands of jobs. Others such as HP and Abbot Pharmaceuticals have also announced major expansions.
    The agri-food industry also continues to defy the recession, contributing 24 billion euro to the Irish economy. Despite its small size, Ireland is the 24th biggest milk producer and 17th biggest beef producer in the world.
    The notion that the economy of Northern Ireland, which is effectively an enormous public sector funded by English taxes is superior to that of the Republic´s is dubious to say the least (or perhaps the person believes that the omnipotent IRA threatened the personnel at the EIU and the EU as well).
    Businesses are not threatened by the IRA. The IRA simply don´t feature much in the consciousness of people living in the Republic. And when the subject of them does come up, all the mainstream newspapers are severely critical of them, without any of their journalists being killed (unlike Catholic journalists who have been killed by Loyalist savages).
    Normally I would have to doubt the sanity of someone who proposes such preposterous ideas, but judging from the venom and default resulting to sloganeering and ethnic stereotyping when criticised in spite of the person´s Christian conscience (apparently fairly elsastic) I´m guessing that the person is either an Ulster Protestant sock puppet, or else is an individual who has done an 180 degree turn after being subjected to intensive brainwashing, in particular with regard to the subject of the Republic, after a bad personal experience.

    Reply
    • "Loyalist savages" and "Protestant sock puppet" also denigrates Protestants with the propaganda of the 14% Party, indicating that you are Sinn Féin in a high government position looking to cover your butt, using your typical well-worn US propaganda techniques to turn what I have to say around in order to question my sanity. And denigrating my experience of the Republic as far from ideal, as an individual experience certainly not shared by the ***tens of thousands fleeing your island as immigrants***.
      Uh huh, tell me another good one, Mhaifeo Shineoir O'Fuichtáird. Meanwhile, extortion of small business owners isn't paying off as well as it once did, eh? That €7,000 illegal request for council rates was offered a deferment if I paid half of it directly to the office of Pearse Doherty. How interesting that extortion can be paid off with extortion. The problem is, nobody but equally crooked business owners can afford that.
      NEXT.
      Oh and by the way US readers, if you're not aware, Sinn Féin **IS** the IRA. He's just cleverly rerouting your attention, as per their modus operandi.

    • What a load of bolix where do you get that sh yte from.
      Just another embittered countryman if mine trying to sound as clever as an Englishman.
      Go scrape your barrell elsewhere.
      England can offer a better standard of living than Ireland can.More Irish and decendents are living in England than the entire population of the republic.
      Without the EU Ireland would have to rely on Britains economy like it did before.
      Im proud of being Irish but I live in the real world.
      Your just another English hater.

Even if you watched the recent BBC documentary, the British, it is clearly stated how influential he was. As an Irish person, the one thing I reluctantly admit, is that to affect Britain in such a way is to effect the world as we know it today. As the Brits are by far the greatest race that ever lived. I am Irish, of catholic origins, so please, no stereotypical responses, from either side,

    • Yep your ol lady definately got some U.S d ick.Thats why your so bent out of shape about us yanks lol.
      As an ex marine i'l give you one thing on which you are partialy right,man for man the brits have the best fighting army in the world,and as a patriot it kills me to say that,but I have seen it myself.They have the best discipline and training which comes from a thousand years of war fighting experience,but in a modern war they couldnt compete cos they dont have the equiptment.
      But I cant believe an a ss hole like you got in with them and how does that work? your irish
      You are full of s hit.

    • Well Tommy and John you are both right on some points.
      But as a British para who served in the Falklands I can honestly say the British army in a battlefield situation are second to none.
      I actually do like Americans but I,m sorry you couldnt live with our boys.
      No offence to anyone but I've seen too much

  568. I have very deep Irish blood running through my veins. It really hurts to see the world so bias to others who are different. I'm not certain where the people who make the comments are from but you have a super ego personality and have a small minded mentality. Most of these comments are unethical and have no respect or regard to human value ! This world needs to realize no one is better than the other. It's true face it! Most people who have no compassion and respect or value of other ethnicities suffer from a personality disorder. This world can never get better unless we value others that are different. Last time I checked we all bleed the same color when we die. I love others for who they are it makes life not boring that's the beauty of life! I will never judge others for their belief or ethnicity bc we are al humans. I know my own heart it has only good intentions, I never stole one dime in my life and had people who are not Irish steal and even almost kill me. I know some people who are not Irish that are great people also. Just bc I had a bad experience w/ others who are different I know it's not bc they are another nationally why they hurt me it's bc there is good and bad people in every nationality . Also we as in Irish girls are not all ugly trust me u have no clue what I see in my mirror and it's far from ugly so.God Bless You

  569. Forget but to include this in my earlier post . My religion is Roman Catholic and the catholic church is founded and created by Jesus Christ himself!!! So I figured you are baptist or church of god and that's fine but you should know that you are church was formed by a sick minded man who was put into a mental institute for being skitzophrenic named Martin Luther who formed other denominations also 80%of people who are not catholic suffer from narcissistic personality disorder. Catholic church is close in some ways to Judaism bc Jesus Christ formed the catholic church and beliefs from Judaism into catholic religion . So I'm sure you are not aware of that. True love is of others and value is knowledge and real love to humanity . Maybe Jesus should judge you like you do others who are different. Thanks Ed for your narcisstic article ! God bless you !!!

    • The IRA did that mate. Not the Irish. I'm Irish and I don't hate the English. I don't hate the English because I have the intelligence to realise that mistakes made by your forefathers have nothing to do with your generation. Their are still ignorant stubborn Irish who have this animosity towards the English but there are many Irish people who don't feel that way. I for one feel quite close to the English as we share same values, humour etc. Hate is a waste of energy and time. When has any good come from hate? People who hate just haven't learned to love I think. It's sad. The guy who wrote this article doesn't seem serious to me. It's all a bit of a joke really. I dunno deep seeded hate like that means you've got some real problems. The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring. 😛

  579. So let me get this straight monty, because I am irish I hate the english right and pretend to like them to their faces?
    Even though I lived over in london for years and have many british friends, I am supposely an IRA supporter, although I served in the british armed forces…Tell me does that make any sense?

  580. You can go on and on about all the green beret missions all you want, you see whats pissing you off is that you can't accept that their are other armies/special ops out their that are better than you, you want to think the US military is the best in the world when in fact yous are not, yous have the most technological military in the world but without that technology, you are not as good as you think and it was proved at the combat team conference which is held every 4 years

There a idiots in each country, fact. Ireland has them, America has them, England has them, Scotland has them and so on. Swings and round abouts Guys.____

  581. The IRA are a terrorist organisation in no way supported by the public of Ireland. You're choosing a minority of people from a race and using it to generalize the entire country. It's people like you that are just as bad as these minorities, as you only know how to hate for the sake of hating. I'm hardly surprised though, considering how your post was written. They say hatred and stupidity go hand in hand.

    Your an idiot lad

    Reply
  584. You are really uneducated and thick.Not to mention very ill informed.
    Lets look at the basic diferences in terms of allegance to Britain
    WW2 for Britain started 3rd sept 1939,America joined us on Dec 8th 1941[thats 2yrs 2mths not 5yrs] within that time they suppliedwithout restriction or payment food,military hardware,intelegance and all basic needs required to enable Britain to survive,also at the cost of losing many of thier merchant ships in doing so. The on joining the war stood side by side with Britain militarliy as they have done every time over the past 100yrs.
    Now lets look at the irish contribution.
    Cowered under a white flag whilst thier government refused to condemn Hitler. Offered a refuelling base for German subs,gave agents to the Nazis to help give them British military information,their PM DeValera congratulated Hitler on the capture of Paris………These are your pals.
    The Queen did not apologise to the irish for anything,David Cameron did over one incident which is still up for debate.

    • Wrong wrong and wrong again the irish government never condemned the nazis. Why? because they were NEUTRAL, do you know what neutral means retard? it means you are on neither side you sad pathetic muppet and the irish NEVER offered to to refuel german U boats. i suppose you can back up that so called theory you stupid egg. And the irish government never gave agents to the nazi you fool. With what you wankor Why don't you stop hating our closiest friendly neighbours and leave the past behind where it belongs you arsehole find it very hard to believe your a brit because a normal decent brit forgets what happend nearly 90 years ago and moved on you illiterate dyslexic prick

    • Butt out! no one cares what you think.
      Read your other posts and every yank on here has crucified you.

    • I am an american I am just curious to why you hate the irish so much.
      You can't pin what the IRA did on all the of them so whats your excuse? WW2 which happened 60 years ago. Every country makes mistakes incuding great britain
      Accept it and move on, There are countries out their that made even bigger mistakes than ireland

    • Agreed
      But everysingle Irish misfortune and shortcoming has allways been blamed on Britain by them.
      Weve helped them no end and they are still doing it ,we'd love to move on but its them who wont.

    • Monty I agree with you 100%, their are irish out their that won't move on mainly irish americans, but to be honest their are many irish that have moved on
      Every countrie makes mistakes including Ireland and England, I lived in london for years and have many british friends and relatives so I don't hate the british and many people that I know that are Irish don't either
      I know the mistakes ireland has made but i am also aware the mistakes other countries have made also so to be quite frankly nobody is perfect, If you are aware of the mistake ireland has made then you should be aware of our accomplishments
      Every yank I have debated with has done nothing but put pure hatred in every one of their posts so obviously I am going to do the same to even it out
      No yank crucified me, they crucified themselved because the lack knowledge of the troubles or of anglo irish relations and their arrogance
      Yes a small minority of the Irish supported the nazis, a small bunch but that was well before any of the nazi attrocities were uncovered and the reason they did was because they were led to believe that if the nazi conquered europe that we would get NI back.
      I served with the british armed forces and the irish rangers and served in afghanistan and to be quite honest, the americans are only your friends when they want something, thats in my opinion an many brits I served with felt the same

    • No i think its 120% in fact I think all the blacks ,Hispanics,Germans ,Italians, English ,Scotts,poles,asians and even native Americans are Irish too.
      Isnt it fun being silly,wish Ide heard from you before.

    • So why is there more English surnames than any other and why is there more towns and places named after British towns than any other and what language do we speak in America.
      And yes Ive checked out the stats and your way off the mark Mr dumbo dogbreath.

    • A former Royal Navy submariner has admitted collecting secret coding programmes that could be useful to an enemy of the UK.
      Petty officer Edward Devenney, from Northern Ireland, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to gathering details of encryption programmes in breach of the Official Secrets Act.
      The 30-year-old also admitted a charge of misconduct in a public office in relation to a meeting with two people he thought were from the Russian secret service.WTF guys real feel let Down, Southern Irish bad enough without this prat. THE DISGUSTING PIECE OF IRISH SH*T.

  586. i have nothing against the people of england most of them dont even know the history of ireland and like the irish im talking 90% of english people i know cause i lived in london manchester liverpool and newcastle the other 10% or a vial moronic ignorant breed of people that support the bnp which there head party member was caught doing nazi salutes and wearing a nazi arm band but could the people of britain show the world the respect of acknowledging that the british empire is responsible for atrocities around the world including rape murder causing famines starting slavery to america wiping out hole african tribes for there resources 30 million deaths in india selling opium to the chinese people and then when they where barred from the country for turning the people into drug addicts they invaded hong kong and three ports so to continue there drug dealing they droped bombs on dresden and killed 70000 women children and men and this is just the tip of the ice berg and i as a peaceful irish man are against this we dont only complain about what you have done you complain about the ira that didnt kill 1% the people that the british killed in ireland all you have to is read our history the people vwho died in ireland we will always remember them and there shall never be full peace between our countries because you still occupy the northen part of our country

    The Navy Seals are not the best and neither are the SAS but check out the Iranian Embassy or the Gibraltar fiasco.
    I don't hate Americans and I don't hate the Irish.
    America did not win WW2 alone and the facts show that Russia made the biggest contribution.
    If almost 40% of American's have Irish lines then why are 8 out of 10 top American surnames originate from Britain? (Just a thought) ?
    Yes the British Empire did a lot of damage to the world just like every other empire have and will do, something Ireland won't have to ever worry about! Lol
    WW2 the Irish helped and supported the Nazis, don't believe me? Check it out! Ireland spied for Nazis on Britain so don't come all proper with me.
    You will find that plenty of Irish and English family have more links than many would believe.
    Stop the hating lol

    • Ok shaxx i agree with you on all said except for the irish supporting the nazis, Ireland was neutral during WW2 which means we were on neither side.. A small minority of the irish republicans supported the nazis and THEY did spieing for the nazis.. Just saying before you start saying that the irish supported the nazis, be sure to mention that only a small proportion of irish supported them.. Don't forget many irish moved over to england and joined the british army to fight against hitler

    • Agree with you on everything except for the SAS comments.
      How can you call Iranian Embassy and Gibralter a fiasco,on both occasions it was mission overwhemingly accomplished.
      The world looked on with envy.
      And I am an Australian

    • And you have no contribution.
      If your only point is spelling mistakes that indicates to me have you nothing more to say.
      YOUS hahahahaha……………Lad
      Have you ever heard of capitol letters you ignoramous

    • Oh I have a lot to say its just funny taking the piss out of you haha.
      "Capitol" letters?.. I believe that it is spelled "Capital" letters.
      And you say I am an ignoramous? Hahaha yeah good one…..

    • Did that to fool you dumboy
      Thats how its spelt in the U.S.
      Thats how much you know about the states.
      Youve probably never been outside ireland.
      Caught you good!

    • I am afraid not son you caught yourself out, firstly with your multiple accounts and secondly with your lack of intelligence and eduction, also to mention your stupidity.
      You see beaver/Thad, "Capital" is the proper way of spelling it, look it up in any dictionary. The spelling "Capitol" is only used for the building housing legislature or other governmental authority, as with the US Capitol building in Washington, DC. And guess what, I learned all of that in the US and of course Ireland.
      You just made an absolute fool of yourself bud, and you have just proven to me how thick you are and your lack of knowledge and education, and being outstraight I actually feel sorry for you, your family and your hatred towards us. especially when you use different accounts to spread your hatred and anti Irish sediments and you apposed anybody who did not agree with your american propaganda.
      Do you actually think that nobody would cop on that Thad replys to your message 18 mins exactly on the same date within the same hour as you, That is some coincidence I will tell you and says the exact same sediments as you? I think its very typical of you beaver that you TRY and catch me out. It just proves to me how desperate you are and that everything I said about good ole USA is true and I presented evidence to back that up and it is enraging you beaver like their is no tomorrow.
      Now I will admit Ireland has made mistakes but America has made far bigger mistakes than Ireland has or will ever make and everytime you are questioned on it you come out with excuses upon excuses.. Everytime
      There is nothing in question about me son.. I studied in Idaho State University studying paramedic science, Currently working for Dublin fire brigade.. I served in the British armed forces but left because of personal reasons. Two years later I enlisted into the Irish army and stayed their for 6 years. Why would I make that all up? I have no reason to lie.
      I have no reason to be jealous of the brits or of americans either because guess what, The brits are 3 times better people than you yanks will ever be, and you know this because you kiss up to them everytime in your posts.. The Irish and Brits together are a much better people than the americans will ever be and it sickens you because you unlike me are ashamed of where your from.. I do have british citizenship and could move their anytime I wanted to and you know what, my grandmother is actually british also which means I have british blood in me aswell. Let me tell you something son, I would rather put my life in the hands of a brit anyday than in the hands of a yank because to be honest you yanks can barely look after yourselves let alone someone else. I actually thank god that for my time in the US, I never met a vile sick human being yank like yourself so to tell you, everything I have said about yanks is pointed at you and your kind only.. Go get help son seriously, you do need it!!

    • Well then Thad you clearly just proved how much you know about foreign militarys and of foreign countries because many people in europe share the same opinion as me.
      Firstly prior to the invasion of iraq, George Bush could not present one shred of evidence about Saddam Hussein manufacturing Nucleur weapons which to be honest was the main reason for the U.S to invade Iraq as they claim of course. And it is funny because Iraq at the time was and still is a very wealthy country full of oil. And then when Iran was threathening to stop shipping oil to western countries, you threathened to invade them aswell.. Everything with you americans is invade, invade, invade, especially when you don't get your own way and you sit their behind a computer whose mouth is bigger than your balls and talk about the IRA which actually makes you incapable to even discuss and the fact you have not being to neither countries also makes your opinion on the matter very ill informed
      how dare you!!! and how dare you also question me on my life and then attempt to catch me out on a stupid ridiculous word which you epically failed in you dumb fruitcake.
      Then their was the cases of mistreatment and sexual abuse on so called suspected terrorists in abu ghraib prison, several cases where you used the prisoners family as leverage to get information which some did not have.
      And then their was vietnam, and the infamous "My lai massacre" which several innocent civilians mainly women and children were, in my opinion "BUTCHERED" by US Soldiers, several of them mutiliated, and for what? absolutely nothing!!! but at the end you did get arse kicked by the vietcong
      Oh I say you are very proud of the so called accomplishments america has made in the past and present, but do not however come on this and villianise the irish because you think that you are more superior than any other country in the world where I could name a dozen who hold higher respect than america ever will know, countrys that were around on this world well before america was even discovered..
      Let me tell you in my opinion, lets say america was to suddenly dissappear, I bet the world would be a much better place, I would say their would be more peace without you.
      How dare you insult my native language also, i bet you think the same about any language that is not english and it just proves how much of a racist you are and you say i am bad? haha I have an awful long way to go before i reach your level son.
      You know china are technically still communist so maybe you should invade them too.. No i think not because before you even get in the country they would kick your arses to kingdom come.
      And as for the brits, the only reason you have them as your allies is because if america is caught doing anything illegal under the geneva convention, the brits will go down with you also because of their involvement. It was your fault the 9/11 attacks happened and it is your fault of the attacks in london also to mention putting all your allies around the globe at high risk from terror attacks but you didn't care did you?? you were more concerned about greed, you let it get the better of you, some great nation you have their buoy..
      Ireland was a very powerfull allie in your war on terror alongside the UK by allowing U.S war planes land in shannon, Providing bomb experts to train soldiers in the middle east, cracking down on terror cells living in ireland, strenghtning your ties to the EU and at the request of the U.S government sheltering known terrorists who were released from your facilities worldwide putting Ireland, UK and many other nations at risk from attacks and in my opinion that was an awful lot of aid and support we gave you especially for a country of our size.
      Let me tell you something, if anything ever happened to great ole USA, it will be countries like ireland and britain that you would be relieing on to provide aid and support to the U.S and i severely doubt you will be insulting us then.
      You as an american should be proud to have countries like ireland and britain as friends because at the end you will not have any better friends than us especially considering you have nations out their that are enemies.
      You should be asking yourself this question, why do countries like ireland and england befriend you lad, not the other way around.. We have the EU so to be quite positive we actually don't need you, it is you that needs us and don't you forget that!!!
      And another thing beaver stop making up multiple accounts on this, you may have others fooled lad but certainly not me!!!

    • How would you feel if a little fairy kicked your ass.
      Allready proved you wrong on every issue,now your doin it again blindly siding with missinformed irish

      I cant help it if other Americans are taking offence to your same old same old lengthy boring posts damning us.
      Jerkoffs like you and your tiny countrymen are insignificant to us.Say all you want about the U.S but all you guys over there need us and our wealth.
      How long do you sit writing and thinking up these derogotive posts about America why dont you go and put a few fires out.
      America dont need any help from any other military we could go it alone any time.
      And as for Vietnam do you think the Brits would have really faired any diferently in that situation.
      If the U.S. military couldnt do it no one could.

They live on a shitty litte rock in the ocean and somehow think it's the center of the universe. It;s not. Check out their newspapers to see how the fawn over their so called celebrities. Celebrities nobody outside of Ireland has ever heard of. Say what you wil about the English (I'm not Englsh) but they accomplished great things with their empire, including teaching the Irish how to read and write.

    Reply
    • You clearly know nothing about IRELAND, if you did you would know that the Irish copied ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts in monasteries centuries before the British ever arrived in Ireland. After the fall of the roman empire was it not Ireland that in fact Ireland that preserved the knowledge of Europe and basically taught the British how to read and write. What do you think Europe would be like if Ireland hadn't preserved the ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts. That knowledge would be lost to us today if it wasn't for us Irish. So your welcome

    • Johnny You little shit, we were the island of saints and scholars beofore the Englsh could read, ignorant stupid drunk people are universal, I know, I was a bartender on Bourbon St in my Youth, its alldown to class and faction, the 'Brits' for example or a certaibn class of Brit are detested in Southern Europe for binge drinking and shitting in the streets – Our 'shitty litttle Rock' is no worse worse better than Gibraltar or Hawaii or another million little rocks, Our celebrities include Pierce Brosnan, Terry Wogan, GrahamNortan, U2 and Gabriel Byrne but I'm sure You would not have heard of any of these people as You probably are not that well educated as the averag bigot is not ans projects huis defenies onto others or as John le Carre so brilliantly puts itm the deficienr individulal must find a cause no matter how obscure and questionable

    • Thanks Frank, it's so great to hear an English person saying that. I think English people are great. If we allow ourselves to forget how our ancestors were manipulated into hating each other for elite causes we can see how similar the common British and Irish people are. I think many Irish people confuse how the English establishment harmed Ireland and not the populace. And, other than the odd person who believes all the anti-Irish upper-class British propaganda, I find English people are some of the most polite and open-minded there are on this planet. And we owe a huge debt to Britain for WWII (although nowadays it looks like Germany has won in the end :)))

  632. The web provides such an interesting insight into people's thoughts, just a pity the people on this site aren't particularly interesting.

There are good and bad people in every country, and don't try and tell me NOBODY in your country has never been drunk.

And Ok, we celebrate St.Patricks day, but can we not have ONE day to ourselves? It's all just a bit of crack. If you don't want to wear green and pretend to be Irish then thats fine, but seriously?

We have less restrictions regarding coming into Ireland but yet, its nearly always america who are encountering bombings! So I don't know what you're on about with your high obesity rates and people turning against their own 'beloved' country-america! Honestly, I don't see the point in anyone continuing this conversion as most of america are pig-headed and the russians above are only in favour of america because they've found a job there! And also, most americans claim to be Irish, half-Irish or even claiming to have the slightest bit of Irish blood running through them! So quit your biased bullsh*t and get some knowledge on other countries apart from your own.

If Americans didn't like getting drunk then why would they celebrate St. Patricks day and most people in the parades are american service men and women. America's most popular religion is Christianity and the most popular form of Christianity in america in the catholic church. Most Irish people are the most friendliest people in the world (we say thanks to bus drivers). Even though we can be sick of it most of the time and complain about the weather I know I speak for most Irish people when I say I couldn't be more prouder of were I come from.

    • First off, the Welsh don't want independence, support for independence is less than 8%, and in Scotland it's about 25%. In Northern Ireland nearly 100% of the protestants want to remain in the UK, and more than half of Catholics also want to remain in the UK. The fact is the UK union is stronger than it has ever been. And, just to clear up your line of – "scotland and wales want independence form british in 2014" – well, Scots and Welsh can never be anything but British, as British is being from the island of Great Britain, any independence vote is to leave the UK, not to not be British. Scots and Welsh will always be British just as a French person will always be European.

    • NI can't go back to Ireland as the ROI never had NI in the first place. Ireland only ever became united as one nation when under British rule, the British are the ones who actually united the Irish. The Irish don't hate the Brits, only some Irish-Americans do. The UK and Ireland are the most inter-married nations on earth, and that's because there's no hatred. And when you say about England taking over Ireland for no reason, well actually it was the Irish who were the first colonialists, as Irish kingdoms invaded Britain long before any Britons raided Ireland. The Irish used to raid Britain to get slaves, as even St.Patrick was an Englishman forced to go to Ireland as a kidnapped slave, so when you say Britain wasn't atagonised by Ireland and England attacked for no reason; this simply isn't true. When it comes to the troubles in NI today, that is because of the Scots, not the English. Scotland planted Protestants in the north of Ireland, and that's why there's trouble. Those Irish who wish to remain British, do so because they have a kinship with the Scots, not the English, but the Scots. For those not in the know, England gets the blame.

    • In regards to your subcontinent: The British were not the only European imperialists, so had it not been for the British then your subcontinent would have fallen into French hands, and you'd have found a period when Napoleon would have ruled you. If you were going to be a European colony, then best to be a British one rather than a French or Spanish one. The most successful nations in the world today were former British colonies, not French or Spanish. You might also like to learn that the Scots created the UK, not England. A Scottish king created the social union which paved the way for an Act of Union, and when Scottish imperialism in the Americas failed, their parliament voted for an act of union to create the UK. Without the Scots, the British Empire could never have existed. They even built the navy that built the empire.First off, the Welsh don't want independence, support for independence is less than 8%, and in Scotland it's about 25%. In Northern Ireland nearly 100% of the protestants want to remain in the UK.

He did a lot for us and taught us about Jeasus and God so you're dis-respecting god you ashole. How about we say something about you're country I hate americans I hate the british it's not fair. Just becasue you think of leprachauns when you think of Ireland you should be bloody ashamed of yourself.
    I bet you don't live in Ireland so you don't know what it's like so f–k off and say something about you'r own country

  653. truth hits everybody · You're wrong. The Irish are not all drunks, that like me saying Americans are all fat.
    Also, the Irish have made massive contributions to science and technology, namely, pioneering the first transatlantic telephone connection, colour photography, the cure for leprosy and the modern submarine. For a small nation we make a large impact. Also, guess what, the Hoover Dam was based on the design already built in Ireland. A lot of international experience must mean you read a badly written travel guide, because you're describing a totally different country there.

    But if Eddie is serious, then as a bigoted nutcase
    He needs to be kicked base over apex

    Justified, as well.

    But then, only if he is serious!

  658. I hate the Americans. They are the so-called white trash of the American continent. All they ever do is try to invade you or eat you. Bunch of undisciplined oil thieves, who at the same time, are religious fanatics. The women are bunch of overweight rhinos, and the men are retarded Bible bashers.
    I have a lot of international experience, and unfortunately I have to say that the Americans have given me the most disappointed feelings. When you can somewhat trust a middle cl*** Canadian, you sure cannot trust any Yanks. As a nation the Americans don't really do so bad things, but the way of life is just so ****ing degenerated. You just cannot trust these ****ing gimps. They'll steal your hamburgers and try to eat them the very same day. And I'm not talking about the beaners (Mexicans, (what a bunch of ****ing idiots)).
    There must be something about living on an large continental landmass. Degeneration, I am talking about. Your father ****s your sister, who ****s your grandpa, who ****s your step sister (these low cl*** hillbilly marriages are so unsustainable). The whole Land of Manifest Destiny is totally degenerated, and that goes for Mexico as well. The working cl*** are bunch of ugly-*** fat ****s who can consentrate only on moonshine and American handegg ("football"). And the women are ugly. All the good looking women in America are immigrants. And the upper cl***. Well they have mid-Atlantic accents and some retardation in form of hobble or something.
    I like the Canadians though. BTW George Washington was British. Anybody seen the show Keeping up with the Kardashians? ****ing retards too.

  660. Dear Ed Anger,
    Aren’t you pig-biting mad that people like Sean Hannity, (yeah, an Irishman), Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and many others have been copying you? They probably grew up reading the Weekly World News. In fact, they probably read it while their parents were shopping, then put it back without paying for it.
    I think you should file a big lawsuit against these copycats. And once they’re out on their asses, Fox News will have no choice but to hire you! You can then broadcast your message from your own secure island compound, just like Hannity does. I see a Presidential Medal of Freedom in your future!
