I’ve never met anyone from Ireland who wasn’t an asshole. I’ll never understand why they think they’re so special

As someone of Irish descent...I have to laugh. I don’t quite agree with you but I kinda know what you’re saying!

But I have to say the men interviewed in this article look particularly wonderful. True heroes who bucked the Nazis and the IRA. Now that’s guts.

Two years ago my wife and I spent three weeks in Ireland crisscrossing the country. We didn’t meet one a...hole. We did meet a lot of very friendly Irish men and women though. In fact, in Galway as we were traveling in an open top tourist bus around the town, we passed by an elementary school with the kids getting out for the day. A bunch of them hollered at the bus: WELCOME TO IRELAND!!! I guess they were just a bunch of little, unfriendly a..holes, huh?

I like the Irish, north and south, Catholic and Protestant.
I have Catholic relatives by marriage in the south, and Protestant relatives by blood in the north.

The victim mentality of the Republicans/Nationalists gets on my tits, but they are a minority.

Both Irelands are beautiful countries with very friendly people.

Perhaps you have met the Irish-Americans, who are psuedo-irish who couldnt find the old countree on a map with GPS.
