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!
I live in maryland in the united states. and let me tell u. there is far more irish flags waving then the jackshit. americans and the rest of the world respect the irish more then the english. dumb ass egg heads
I live in the north jersey which is largely italian decent,its recognised where Im from that the irish have just made a lot of noise promoting themselves.But anyone who knows anything about the actual roots of our nation has to recognise that our original way of life we inherited from the english.They formed the original colonies and we inherited thier form of government and language. You have only got to look at the majority of names they are english based they were setlers here long before the irish.All of the founding fathers parents were from england
And from the 20th century onwards have proved to be our closest allies. the english gave to America the irish have just taken from us.No sorry your the dumb fuck.
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.
Sounds to me like your not past the 10th grade yet. You dont warant any further responses so please dont do any further posts,this site is world wide and your making fools out of us.
ur arguments are irrelevent to the subject im the only one throwing out facts because of ed angers rasist arcticle. ur calling me dumb? read a book or two
YOUR NOT AMERICAN YOUR AN ENGLISH WANKER
Hey f uckface, so anyone who has anything to say that isnt a ss licking the Irish suddenly is not American.
I have news for you pal. Not every American thinks the Irish are so wonderful,just read Eds blog.
Or maybe hes English too.
F uckin Jerkoff.
Lester Crippsy
Wow what a response.
Is that the best you can come up with.
Will you shut the f uck up about the foundling fathers
Why is that? Dont you have one?
There it goes again. Another shytestiring yank.
Im from Cork and nobody in Ireland gives a fuck for Irish americans.we call ye plastic paddys. who should keep there nose out of the delicate subject of Irish/english relations. we are all geting along fine over here thanks. Forget waving the Irish flag just look at how many of your towns and cities are named after english ones. america is heavily invested with bloodlines from england as well as ireland so dont be coming up with that crap.
Why dont you just try to be americans.Spelling Bryan with a Y cuts no ice here.
We dont need your sympathies cos there is no more conflict over here.
im no plastic paddy i watch my grandmother from ireland die in the hospital (had to write my last "i love u" on paper cause she was deaf. iv herd stories of ireland. iv been there twice. the irish in america are the ones who suffered before salvation. i didnt ask to be in america, the famine put my family in america. i grew up in a black/irish neighborhood in philly. my ancestors where no slave owners. quite the opposite. you should show simpathy to ur bruised and beaten ancestors. wait ur ancestors had money tim? im in america for a reason. respond please, i would like to see what u have to say. i know my roots. u know ur roots. ur still in ireland u lucky fuck
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.
Yea Yea New Amsterdam to New York etc etc
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)
All chaged from Dutch to english
You mean every town changed its name from a Dutch name to an English name.
Dont be talkin like a c unt.
Ye are makin ur own history.
With you bein a dodger,was it school you dodged.
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
Tim,
I am Irish and you are a disgrace to my country for all your talk about Irish Americans, We would be nowhere without them, I lived in America for years and it was mostly irish born construction workers who funded NORAID not Irish americans, most of the donations to NORAID came from people actually born in Northern Ireland. we would have no peace process without Irish America
Well sean its irish like you who wanted that fiasco to go on….your the disgrace , irish construction workers me bolix.
How the fk would you know who put into Noraid or not.__Only a tiny small amount of hotheads in the republic wanted that trouble, if that wasnt the case why didnt the Irish government back the IRA?__I will tell ye why ,cos it was wrong and not ever winable.__Why cant you people just try to live with each other in peace…..its over
No peace pocess without America?
More like no conflict without America.
Tony blair negotiated that without his efforts that was going nowhere.
Think youl find those irish born construction workers were paid fund raisers by the IRA.
I met a few at the time,but sorry I couldnt donate to bloodshed.
Sean, Im a proud American why does any irish always naturaly asume Americans will suport thier evil cause?.
Wow! your a much traveled man of the world.
Give me a break!
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
Being as your called 'Camp' you would definately know about jerlkng off people.
Anyway I am Dutch you fag.
Bet you dont even have a passport you make believe Irish S hit.
A french Dutchman by gad whatever next
Yes its almost as stupid as being an Irish American.
im american. i live in maryland. waaaaaaayyyyyy more triclours then jack shits in the air. irish built america.
Silly boy. You'r not American we dont spell TRYCOLORS like you did.
Or maybe it was cripsy or someone huh!
tricolour*** is how us AMERICANS spell it. the argument isnt about grammer. its about the irish being bullied for over 800 years even when they came to america. and when i mean came to america, im talking about the great migration during the famine. not the few before that. the english have trashed the world and nobady cares now of days.
You would know youare crippsy you stupid c.unt,ive got your f.ucking ticket Boyo
what r u saying? speak proper english lmao
Another one got it wrong
Think your the stupid one.Not related to Bryan are ya?
You are another Crippsy clone, I`m keeping my eye on you
Hey faceache! Stil barkin up the wrong tree I see.
Looks like the cripsy man had you rattled.
Obviously your tiny mind couldnt compute someone who didnt kiss a ss the irish.
Or are you just sore cos your people couldnt get the boat fare over.LoL
I'm a cross beween Irish and welsh as my name might suggest.
This means I get drunk very easy but cant stop singing,I love digging coal mines or roads no problem,half of me wants to break away from the UK but wont cos its seen whats hapeneed to the other half and cant be bothered to work abroad,my favourite soup is leek and potato,but most important of all when I'm blaming the English for everything my name describes the verbal conent.
Nice one Dai
like it!
After the American war of independance, If englishmen had been caught entering America ,they would have been swiftly delt with, Probaably lynched or scalped
I think thats what you would like to think.
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…..
Im brainless? After that post of yours.
yes ur brainless. u cant come up with a logical arguement. tell me why im wrong? were r ur facts?
Give me a break you f ucking brown noser, What bloodlines are you talking about ,English Bloodlines are 70% Celtic DNA and thats a proven fact
That would be correct but you know full well what I am saying.
I am talkin about bloodlines to colonial America.
Brown noser to who ? The Truth?
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
At last somebody who knows what he`s talking about
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.
It was the Irish who tipped the scales of victory and won the day for the Americans, Anybody with half a brain knows that. Fuck ing numb nuts like you just wont admit it
The Irish who were in America then wernt in enough numbers to tip any balance.
Why would I admit to somthin that was c rap.
I surpose it was the Irish who defeated the Japs and Germans as well huh.
History is what it is not what you want it to be.
Im quite sure that if Mars attacked the USA you would say that it was the Irish who would repell
them.
Get over yourselves.
It was George Washington that said it and also some English Officer
No evidence of that .Let alone any statistics.
Dont forget if there were any Irish present technicaly they were stil British.
Its not widely written in any of the history books that they were there in any kind of numbers against the British.
Sorry youl have to research other avenues for any Irish aclaim.
How the f uk did that work there wasnt enough of them here then.
I think you should read up on Irish Bond Slaves
Why ?
The point is as said from the outset British influence in the early days contributed much more to the formation of our way of life'
Sorry but the Irish apart from a labour force have had nothing to offer America.
Ed is right.
eh lester yeah, eh tbh your getting very pig headed now, the british hate going to war with the americans, because its always the americans who start the wars..and the british are only there to make sure the americans dont fuck up, which they always do. “shoulder to shoulder” me bollox lol
im in the forces right now and i can tell u what your saying is correct ,
the u.s. army relies on the british every time especialy british special forces.
but on the political side i would say shoulder to shoulder is pretty much right theres a long history of it.
The English were never fully trusted in America, They still tried to take America back through the back entry one might say ,during the American ciivil war, And then there was the matter of the Atom Bomb secret winding up in russia, I dont think they got it off the Irish
The British not just the english tried to take America back in 1812 technicaly the Irish at that time were still British
and obviously the British include Scots and Welsh.
Cant imagine at all why the British would want to pass A bomb secrets to the Russians that would endanger them as much as anyone else,never heard of that one.
Never heard of Philby Burgess and Mclean, Time to start googleing Dimwit
Yes I googled dimwit and it came up as you.
Think youl find the were arrested and imprisoned by Britain.
Mclean,,,Didnt he do American pie?
The Irish where never british. Yes england occupied Ireland but the country was still called Ireland the name was never changed so therefore the people were still Irish. Like every other country the english took over the country name was never changed to england.
You are wrong. Ireland was part ot the British mainland as part of it still is.
Being part of the British isles was one nation called Great Britain.
Not a far off dominion,but British soveriegn teritory.
Same as the northern Irish, Welsh,and Scotts are still the Irish were British.
How proud they must have been.
Yes part of the the british Isles but the country was still Ireland and the people Irish. How many Northern Irish call themselves british? Yes part of britain but call themselves Northern IRISH!!
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.
bull sh it
Your a real genius with words. lol.
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.
American ciivil war, this is your history and this is all you have you kill your own ppl you live with you go to other countrys to steal and pillage so yea what else are you known for nothing but death follow usa look at all your prisons today you have the most rasist country in the world you spend bils to kill ppl you start shit when ppl have what you want what do you do yes you go blow them up then when thay fight bk you blame them and cover it all up you sick mofo

YOU ARE AN AWFUL C UNT OF A MAN!
Since when did the Irish come from Africa
thi isnt a rap
? this isnt supposed to be a rap scot
After reading this I think in America now we should immediately hand power of government BACK TO THE BRITISH and apologise to them for ruining the land they colonised.
Sorry Lord Cornwallis please come back.Look what we have done to an Irishman in Maryland.

Heres the facts for you without lowering myself to the level of your mindset by going into specifics.
You are not capable of forming one literal sentance-FACT
Your comprehension of a credible Irish American is non exsistant.-FACT
Your comprehension of the status of Anglo-Americans is non exsistant-FACT
Your politics are similar to that of a caveman-FACT
You have chosen vague parts of hearsay history to encompas your own ignorance-FACT
Those are the facts that is why nobody is prepared to debate with you.
Basicaly in your terms its because your an idiot.
vague? i dont thinks so. i type so much i dont care about grammer hense i spell you with just the letter u. iv already explained myself amillion times. u cant get it through your thick skulls what im saying or my point in my argument. u still havent told me anything about history or irish racism. ur not on the same page as me. i have no ignorance since i listen to what people say unlike u thad. i wish i had a round with u to knock some scence into ur head. im a idiot because im telling u true facts….ok thad u win lol smh. oops u want my letters capitalised and my words in complete sentences my bad, i dont fell like it

Yo
The ruling classes in England opressed thier own people years ago as bad as anyone.
Who was it who gave thier lives to go and conquer all of those empire countries in the name of the rich with no reward for themselves.
Or just read Dickens that tells you all
I am an Irishman and I know that.
So just be carefull WHICH English it is that you hate.
Thank god! Someone talkin some sense.
Spot on. D ickens tells it all about 19th century england.
They all were in the rich mans army just to eat. They probably would have love to have fled to America.
People are people its only rulers that make wars.
Well said Mick.

Hes just a poor misguided American kid who knows nothing about the crack this side of the Atlantic.
Someone with an evil mind has filled this kids head with shyte.
He also thinks hes black.
u havent said one thing relevant to the subject… u can lick my butt and suck on my bawls bro. im done with u close minded europeans. "learn" means "brainwash" to u fucks. yall seem brainwashed to hate americans. usa is the most hated nation thats the most charitable. again….READ a book bro. i prolly know more about europe as a whole then u lol seriously u havent taught me a thing, just ur a hateful ahole along with everyone else on this forum. and where the fck do u get the "balck" part from lol

So what! The kids entitiled to his opinion.
Seen all the hate in your posts mother f uka.
Yo Ma was english. That makes you english you dumb fk.
South Boston we spit on english ….come over we gona p iss on u too.
Irish 4ever.
I cant believe on here how the English are being vilainised.
Sure they had to go, but here are some things ot remember.
Thomas Jeferson. John Adams, Benjiman Franklin,Madison,Washington,Jackson all of these had parents who were from England.
If Great Britain hadnt of stood alone for two years against the Germans by defeating the Luftwaffe they, the Irish and eventualy Americans would have all fallen under the jackboot.
Korea ,Iraq,Afganistan and special forces in Vietnam,all these times Britain stood with the U.S.
They are our closest friends,please my fellow Americans dont forget this
Im Irish and I dont dislike the english people.
Its just thier governments have made the Irish suffer in days gone by.
But I agree you have got to admire the way they stood up to Hitler alone when all others had fallen.
what about the millions in gold taken by the english government from millions of murdered jews from the nazi war machine they and the american government only steped in to the fight when they came under treat them selves it was a matter of do or die nothing else
How about the billions the USA took from England bankrupting them after they fought alone under the same banner we call freedom.
Then after doing that to our closest bloodline friends. We let our enemy USSR go free of the debt owed to us by them.
Fk the jews gold, Britain paid enough in our name in WW2
What an a sshole you are for even considering that!
What is it about some English people who post on this site, Just because they`e a minority in the USA they think they have the right to slander the Germans and the Iriish and other races who make up the masses of our populace, Ithink they have an Inferiority Complex about the situation, they seem to have a misguided view that everthing American came from England, One post even read that Capitalism was born in England, When according to most scholers modern day Capitalism was formed in 16 century Netherlands
Are they in a minority in America?
Theres just as many english names in America as anyone,and I think the english decendants here have had a much bigger hand in big business and government.
Capitalism is free trade Britain were the first to sread that all around the world.
I dont think either theres anything misguided about thier influence particulary in the early days.
And before you say it no Im not english my decendants in America were Sweedish ,Welsh,Dutch and Scottish.
I am Russian and I believe Irish are big waste of space.
English is more superior and better people.
Where the fk was irish in world war 2.
Dont be talkin such fuken shyte.
Thousands and tousands or irish men joined up to help Britain.
Irish and English are all just the same now we both won our own workin clas strugles against the rich.
Superior me bolix.
And ye was arsehole lucky against the Germans the weather won it for ye.
Otherwise ye would have been sweatin on the yanks same as we was.
your 100% correct. I'm English but i hate what we did to your people and many others but im proud that we explored the world and how brave we were.still are like you. i grew up in Ireland and was bulled for being british. i hope 1 day well get along better
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
))
Bolix to ya!
It was Germans and English what give USA brains.
Irish is useless.
I work in U.S. then Ireland then England.
This I know thes is correct.
If Irish are useless then how come there are the 7th highest educated country in the world ahead of USA and england. England in fact is something like 30th in the world.. Irish thick… I think not.
If irish not thick how come you have never been able to keep yourelf.
First Britain then USA then EU they have to keepyou.
Oxford ,Cambridge,Harvard,Berkeley, irish just inbred ditch diggers.
Iknow this, I have worked all over the world,everybody just think irisk drunken idiots.
When you talk to them all they do is hate english,blame english for everything.
They should blame themselves , english is good peoples.
Irish is worthless.
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 want to apologise to you if you were insulted by one of my countrymen as I have been insulted a thousand time myself by them.
If you want to know who the real (Gaels) Irish were just Google Brehon Law it will blow your mind
Like the english and every other peasant population had it so easy in those days.
Why o why do we have to keep on and on hearing about the irish plight.
300 hundred years on and your still pickin out bits of history to demonise the english
Im American and im sick of hearing it,god knows how the brits must feel.
Why not do some research into how the english populations were persecuted by ther romans,saxons and normans.
Just move on and give us all a break theres nothing special about your cause.
You are a small minded uneducated little man, get over what ever the Irish have done to you.
And get on with your life.
Irish is worthless. Learn to speak correctly you clown
You go girl

I hate the Irish with all my heart and soul, they are the most rubbish 2 faced people I have ever seen in my life.
They are nothing but a big bunch of ignorant bloody useless hatefull farmers.
The only thing they like to do is drinking and speak bad behind peoples backs because they don't have the guts to say it in your face.
They are all inbred that is why they all have the same faces and so many genetical defects and are every single one of them the same in their evil minds.
They will destroy your life when you tell them the truth about whatever they do wrong in any company and make your life a living hell.
I have been living in that country for so many years and they destroyed my life and of my wife completely.
The American ones are worse. Believe me
ur garbage, racist, and uneducated . both of u
Sounds to me like Rogier is pretty educated on the Irish.
Your the one who writes in trash talk so your the garbage boy.
Racist huh? you mean just like you with the english.
Rogier.
I feel your pain man.
Lester. can i ask you something. Were you touched as a child. i am sure you were, there is help out there and there are people who will listen. You don't have to live as a victim, seriously.
Seein as you know all about that you must be an expert so your thoughts must aply to yourself.
Its an illness to not be able to take in critism of the Irish …….you need help for that.
for f ucks sake shut your trap cripsy, we in this computer club have been watching you and your aliases for months , We know exactly who you are by the tone and style of your post, So please will you give poor ireland a break' And stick your head in the Oven; weirdo
Here we go again.
Looks like Im Cripsy again cos I wont kiss irish a ss.
If thats the case cripsy must have some good points.
So how many aliases does he have,maybe yor one too.
I think its the rest of us the rest of us that need a break
If they destroyed you and tour wifeslife so much for years why did ye stay in the country?
You dont know the guys circumstances,and I think thats a realiy insensitive question to ask them.
If the irish in America are anything to go by Im surprised they stayed there ten minutes.
Ha ha ha ha ha im glad. Ireland- 1…Roger Franken and wife- 0..
What an extremely eloquent and well thought out piece of commentary on the Irish people as a whole! Are you sure that you are not the one that spends all your free time drinking Rogier dear?
awwwwww let me take the violin out, your just pissed that your wife prefered irish cock more than your worthless cocktail sausage
and we have more guts than you let me tell ya pathethic keyboard warrior
Your jokin John all there is on here is irish keyboard warriors.
Any other type of war they always butted out.
eh sam, a bunch of knackors come on this discriminating against the irish because there afraid to look at there own pathetic country and people, yeah keyboard warriors is what i would call it especially when they wont say it to our faces..and fyi the irish army are deployed in various countrys such as africa and lebanon on operations, one thing i can tell you is that at least when we are on operations, we dont scam countrys out of their oil and murder innocent civilians in the process
BULL SH IT!
bullshit?? yeah to you, because you know its the truth you arrogant prick
Rogier is 100% correct ! When I read his post I was surprised to see someone expressed the same learned-opinion I also have developed.
u guys are mad cause a terrorist organization fcked the british soldiers up. look at the death tolls of the 90s alone. british general or whater u call ur highest ranking officer said "we cannot beat them" it was on the front page news here in america back then. also i found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJGfe0k7rI suck it
Think youl find the IRA terrorists were unable to continue due to heavy losses inflicted upon them by covert British special forces and Blair making deals with Clinton then Bush to cut off all American irish funding._Nortern Ireland is still part of Great Britain that was the outcome.
Just as well cos if the Brits had pulled out the IRA could never have defeated the UVF.
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.
your wrong Lester they had to disarm after 9 11 out of fear that the war on terror would land on there door step
Oh yeh cos Bush promised Blair that to get Britains help.
But he's right Britain had the IRA beat.
You are proud of British soldier death tolls?
Im American and I dont remember that headline,what was it in some shamrock journal.
The reality is the ira lost badly.
The North of Ireland is still British.
They all live in peace and get along fine now.
Give up will you thats a forlorne cause.
What a crock o shi t!
IRA got f ucked up big time my friend.
Well we can spell………………….., "Here's to the English who shoved their language down our throats, until we regurgitatded in GLORIOUS colour. Plus we never kept slaves and although the British did for a while at least they never lynched or burned them. Ah sure every country and religion has problems, May the road rise before ye, may the wind be always at your back, and may you be in heaven half an hour before the divil knows yer gone! :O)
Yea right.
I'm Irish, living in Ireland and one thing I can say is that, at least we can spell you dumb fuck! By the way, I think you will find that warm brown beer is called ale and it is a British drink, in Ireland our drink is Guinness and it is cold and it is black. Your ignorance is laughable!
So what are you saying the problem is Americans gettin it wrong or Guinness bein thought of as British?
You mixed up two nationalities and their drinks, if you are going to bitch about a nation make sure you get your insults right. I just think your rant is based on misinformation and saying a whole nation is all the same, is an opinion of an ignoramus. In that case, all Americans are morbidly obese with the IQ of grill cheese sandwich!
Which 'rant' are you refering to.
Im not Ed and whatsmore Eds blog mainly was about Irish Americans.
But I agree we must be dumb to have let as many Irish in and let them spout thier hateful crap in America.
Technicaly Guiness is British.
When the Guiness company was founded in Dublin Ireland was still part of Great Britain.
Neither ca you spell,First and second name should have agapbetween…..Dumb Fu ck!
im with you im irish and proud FUCK YOU PEOPLE WHO THINK WERE A WASTE OF SPACE REALLY GET A LIFE
Yes please waste your own space on that tiny inbred island you are from.
Please stop wasting our space in the USA
Weve got lives here…dont sound like u do.
That is rich coming from you. Inbred is an American thing and you dont have lives. Most of you are losers who sit on tje computer all day and most of you are angry at the world for no reason so shut up.
You wasp fuck head. Americans are practically incapable of the speaking correctly. They are incapable of holding a decent conversation without using the words 'Wow", "Awesome" and "AwrIeeeeght". They can't make decent beer, cars or homes. They think a Harley Davidson is a great bike and in fact it's a piece of shit. They have no idea of how to cook healthy food, they are always eating fatty foods from fast (heart attack) food joints. American Footbal sucks too. Little mommy's boys wearing pads in case little Johnny scraps his knee. Will you fuck off man. Play a real contact sport like Rugby.
American women are FAT, LAZY, CALCULATING, WHINGING, SELFISH, UGLY, FAT LAZY CALCULATING, ( I repeated that for effect), US women are BOSSY, BITCHY, MANIPULATIVE, PIG IGNORANT, RUDE, PLASTIC, CONCEITED, SELF CENTERED, TERRITORIAL SOUR CUNTS. and what's really funny is American men just let them boss you around and make idiots of you.
European women, including Irish are very sexy, classy, educated and know how to treat a man.
Now go and fuck!
technically your a stupid gobshite, guinness is irish founded by an irish man nothing to do with the british watsoever
Its fairly obvious to me why Cromwell foced the Irish to speak English
Cos……..He couldnt understand what the fu ck they were on about.
Very funny.
Another stupit fkg yank.
Probably because it was a completely different language with a completely different alphabet. Well done, Donald. Glad to see the American educational system isn't as bad as they make out on TV.
ur lucky the brits taught you how to farm and speak and ur lucky we havent taken over ur land
TO OBSERVER
Please Observer come back and read all of the nice comments people have said about you and your kind.
Even some of your countrymen.
Is it now time now to repent and do the decent thing by saying sorry to everybody then commiting suicide.
Good Ridance
Your Fans
Fkg priceless!
well i am an American living in Ireland and married to an Irishman, whom i love with all my heart, and his family is great! even though the conservative nature of the people sometimes get on my nerves, i love the people, and the country.
How lucky he is!
Come back home to a civilsed country.
Trust me that bad judgement on ur part will turn to sh it soon trust me,
"civilsed"- I'm guessing you're an absolute dim-witted prick
Oh n bye the way dont bring an a sshole like that back with you.
luke will your kind never learn tut tut ?
Nothing to be learned from you dumb fk
Is nobody on this site literate?
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.
Well said Brendan.
That Rusian is an idiot,Hes also trying make a rift between us and the England.
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.
Fuck England And F uck America!
Who the frack cares about WW2? The Irish sure as hell don't! That's why we were neutral!
I think youl find Paddy Mayne was a prody!
hi im irish and live in a great land called holland you see most people who say things like this im sure never traveled and sits at a computer all day never knowing the world and the great people from everywere that live in it a yes the ones that live in ther own head never get loved or never get FUCKED
this blog is bull I've lived in Ireland ye its a dump but the people are great friendly well mannered and a lot smarter than they let on to be. As regards to all the rest of the dribble being posted here by cripsy etc all the points you've raised have nothing to do with ed's blog
I've lived in England and Ireland and the Irish are mainly jerkoffs.
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.
Not another one obsessed by cripsy!
He must have got u all ratled even tho hes not been on this site for ages.
Dont know how u could say hes not like Ed.
He must have somethin right he has the highest score.
Why is it that Irish americans who have blatant english names still see themselves as Irish.
Theyr all a fkg joke.
What the fuc k is a blatant english name ,You stupid Toerag your the f ucking joke
If u dont know what a blatant english name is then you shouldnt even have the right to comment.
So instead of Patel what do we call u O'Patel.
Your ignorance is blinding.
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.
Cant stand the truth can you Jack.
And I'm not a protestant.
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.
Another Fairy Tale for the gullible,What sado thought this one up, who would want to waste there time penning such outrageous garbage, Get a life you silly cow
Fairy tale?
Cant stand the truth can you?
All you terrorist IRA mongers are in denial.
YOU ARE EVIL believe it you mislead p ric.
I'll be waiting for an insult that requires more than one alcohol sodden brain cell, spud sucker. Ooh, ahh, fk the ra… ooh ah, fk the ra.
Mrs Survivor
I did along sympathetic response to you earlier but obviously the admin influence on this would not show it.
England is being used as a scapegoat .. you know that but Americans cant take that in.
Think this site is now being monitored by pro IRA.
They probably wont print this… but long live freedom of speech x
England would be safe for you
Why dont you go to your bed and take Rat Poison, you evil B astard
I have to say, you are one stupid person. I bet daddy has payed your way through life and the hatred you feel towards yourself for being a worthless small minded idiot, gets directed to nations you know nothing about, while you snivell behind your computer screen alone. Idiot. Get an education.
Something anti paddy is it?
You cant deal with that can u Mr no life.
Rename Mr drinately no sence man…..fkg jerkoff.
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.
mV <—*two fingers up*
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 ….
John: this is exactly what I want to see, an intelligent and excellent reply. The majority of Irish persons are capable of this kind of objectivity and realism as long as they're away from any kind of defensive or mob mentality. You deserve the rewards of your career and honest way of life.
There's an Irish mafia? Jeez, I've lived here my whole life and this is the first I'm hearing of it!
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 . I can only say this to you read up on Brehon Law before we were destroyed ,they could never believe it the narrow minded small minded that they are now . All that you can do is feel sorry for them .John
has to be a joke i bet this fella never moved out of america some cheek to be talking about mafia in ireland and
corrupt government when he comes from america its also shocking the stupidity of the people on here i think
if the english behaved them selfs in proper manner we would probably accept them but i cant see that happen
as for americans i like most of them accept the hill billys and republicans who as we all know are inbreed and another fun fact is that these people desended from the protestants that came from england and northen ireland even good americans from the citys know that you are white trash scum and racists you hate every one who is not a white protestant most people around the world like and respect the irish and hate english people and americans and you know this to true
well, well..mrs survivor acting as if her country are the victims FUCK!!! if it wasnt for yous, there would be no IRA ya dirty slapper, the english villainised the irish for hundreds of years through murder and torture of irish citizens and automatically yous are victims because the IRA fought back for what they believed in. also yous are responsible for the potato famine which killed thousands of irish people, PROVEN FACT now why dont you piss of back back to prostitution, thats as far as you will ever get to making money
F uck off you ill informed biased idiot. Mrs survivor gives the best account of the real situation in NI.
for wankers like you blaming the english is an easy way out.
Your people are brainwashed ill informed terrorists backed by even more ill informed ignorant americans.
And wht more ridiculous is this self proclaimation that everyone around the world loves the irish, thats total s hit im not english ive been all around the world and I can tell you the english hold a lot more respect than the irish.
of course your not british, your american id say, your stupidity gave that away, pointless talking to you lad, its like talking to a dog only the dog would be smarter and be worth talking to lol
Im a Canadian actually.
You are racist against Americans thats obvious.
On my part the only Americans I dont like are the self opinionated Irish ones.
Take that which ever way you like.
Good report
and its obvious your a rascist against the irish, aint that right?
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.
Like it……well written
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
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.

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.
165 billion in ***US money*** invested in a tiny rathole with 4.5 million people? I doubt this. You have not mentioned those who came and went out of business, or came and closed down in the recession, just your Tiger-era financial sloganeering that's been busted down to size by a banking crisis that saw every Irish investor in "investment property" and bank bonds lose their shirts.
Why feel the necessity to defend your nation with overblown fiction? Are you afraid of me, just one person, doing major damage to the economy of your invincible Republic? You did not mention the 86 billion Euro Anglo-Irish bank bailout and the first quarter of 2012 losing 56,000 people to emigration; the Republic is losing an entire county Cork on a 6-month turnaround.
But please…do go on. I suppose with that many people going off the dole via emigration and only established farmers remaining, milk exports to the EU and UK would naturally skyrocket and surpluses would happen (not counting the multibillion losses in ghost estates and the peoples' financial portfolios and the banking bailout I guess.)
CITE THE SOURCE OF YOUR STATISTICS SIR. I want government statistics, on my desk, right here, sourced and cited. You will not sit there blabbing propaganda at me without a sourced footnote for every claim you make backed up by both Dublin Castle AND Brussels.
You're an Irish politician, not an economics professor, not a statistical analyst, and you are a bu115hit master.
Bu115hit, bu115hit, bu115hit, bu115hit and bu115hit. Now shuffle back off to Dáil Éireann and join your tee-shirted compadres and the dope smoking TDs in a round of reefer, because apparently things are going at a far more leisurely and casual pace by what I've seen on TV. Except in the IFSC where a lack of regulatory control in the Irish financial market has made it more appealing to rogue financial traders than Hong Kong and made it the hottest place for shady brokers to make a quick million.
All Ireland is a hole full of skangers with the exception of Dublin South, which you obviously live in if your Trinity spelling skills are any indication. This also indicates that you are in an extreme minority, and believe me, your lack of exposure to Republican terrorizing is due entirely to your posh surrounds.
Ms. Survivor.
"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.
More please Ms Survivor more!
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.
A lot of words to just say your anti-British
I get it Reason.
You just wont appreciate the British
Well go then….I'm sorry you had a bad time but you'd want to maybe do a bit more travelling around Ireland before putting on your orange sash and bowler had…but if thats what you want to do by all means paint yourself orange…I live in the Republic and certainly don't condone IRA activity… I have lovely friends who are English….I don't know what it's like to live up North but quite honestly nobody in the Republic or in England really cares…and that's the whole truth…People are dressing up and marching and fighting and being bitter and the rest of Ireland and England are getting on with their lives…hell we've even welcomed Queen Elizabeth with open arms…Truth is no-one cares anymore…It's not important…people are too busy trying to look after their families and get on with their lives
Encouraging
