As convoluted as that question is, first I personally vote best answer to Leogirl0804. And as a side note, while wishing all english off Ireland, the incepet hatred and vile of "arifin ceper", dims in comparison.

Are you Irish, by any chance? ;-)\nI'm only asking because the exact same pattern is universal here.\nPeople are too cowardly to stand up for their rights, and then they blame the person with enough guts for any repercussions, real or imagined, that might ensue from a complaint.\nI do think that a large part of it is the embarassment that they were not able to do it themselves.\n\nGermans and French complain all the time, no such problems there.

I agree with you- it's sad that most people only associate the Irish with one of 4 things: drunkenness, brogues, the color green and possibly the Blarney Stone. \nIf we were to celebrate it as a national holiday here in the U.S., perhaps more people would be aware of the long suffering plight of the Irish people. It's indeed a sad thing that a lot of folks who dress up in green once a year, don some green beaded necklaces and drink 'til they puke- all without really understanding who and what the Irish culture and people have gone through and continue to experience daily.

The Irish are wonderful people and many of the immigrated to the USA many years ago........You know you all celebrate St. Patricks day.....You know Luck of the Irish.....The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...this is all Irish folklore.....Since we are in the immigration forum I will side with my fellow questioner in saying and agreeing that all governments like to keep their public blind by spreading propaganda...happens everywhere.  The history of my family is that when we came from Ireland and mind you we immigrated in accordance with the laws of that time AND we were received and percieved just as America today accepts the Illegal Immigrant... With Racism and Hatred.

Irish people are a funny lot.  We tease the people we love the most (until they cry and are scarred for life) and are nice to the people we hate.  We get sunburned easily.  There are 2 types of Irish men:  the silent, brooding, poetic type who thinks he isn't good enough to live and the loud, brash limerick type who thinks he isn't good enough to live.  I like both types.

It's the day that we Irish Americans celebrate our heritage. Sadly, our ancestors decided to lose their identity and come to America. Unfortunately, here we are in the politically correct cesspool, that is over-sympathetic and over-sensitive towards every cause on the face of the earth, but there's nothing that I can do about it right now at least. The land of the free-ride and the home of what used to be a great, united nation. The America that my father grew up in and the one that I grew up in seemingly disappeared. It's getting to where I don't even recognize my own hometown anymore.\n\nAlso, about the actual holiday: They do celebrate it in Ireland. I have a friend who went there this year and he celebrated it there. He said that he had the time of his life.    \n\nSo.....with all of that being said, HAPPY BELATED ST. PATRICK'S DAY! ERIN GO BRAGH! Don't forget, make the world a better place and buy a Patty a Guinness, lol. Slan!

I'm Irish and lived in NL for six years, and it was a great experience - people thought that Irish had some odd customs, like having a party when someone dies, it's called a 'wake' ... likewise I thought the Dutch had some funny ways, but most of the time I enjoyed our differences.\n\nHow odd that your friends find you being proud of your native culture to be 'uncomfortable'. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with THEM?

irish people are from gb, uk??? interesting that... anyway... if you're happy supporting them why not? We follow their league teams with no problem at all, so it seems reasonable enough to support the country closest to you geographically. Other people I know however, would definitely say otherwise!!! LOL :)

so i guess we should tell the irish and italians and all those other people that immigrated in the past maybe they should go to. sorry you are so fixated.  hopefully some day you will make a friend with an alien and hear their story.  good luck

The Irish are Latin Rite Catholics just like most others of the Western world. There is no actual difference. People who say that are telling you about their religious AND ethnic affiliation.
