As an Irish guy sitting at a computer in the southeast of Ireland right now i can confirm that most Irish people are loving morons.

Guess we have nice trees and poo poo but the people in general are borderline retarded because we live in a ridiculous welfare state that makes a huge chunk of our citizens unthinking buffoons because consequences are something that happen to other people.

our sturdy children have grown soft suckling on the teat of government handouts, they can no longer romp freely without the state tackling them and stuffing money in their pockets. When will you, oh Irishman, awaken and seize your destiny? Live frugally and devote your life to things of the spirit, not to the ways of moloch.

now excuse me, I'm off to see my local TD cause a black fellow moved in down the way and I'm pretty sure that's against the law.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
I like how brits are legit racis against irish but they try to disguise it as humor. "loving DIRTY GINGER! LOL! JUS KIDDIN! :haw:"

I didn't even hear "ginger" till I was like 20 and was pretty impressed that all brits could be hateful simply because of someone's hair color but given their history it makes sense i suppose~

"Whoever fixes my footpath will get my vote for the rest of my life" - A honest-to-god Irish voter who was quoted in the newspaper of record.

Imagine what a F-35's worth of money would get you in votes if your voters were like ours.

Whenever someone anyway famous comes along the media and the rest of the country tries to find "The Irish Connection" to the point where we're kneeling and feebly grasping at the figurative/literal robe the celebrity is wearing.

For Obama we literally built a motorway service area in a village which had barely had 300 people living in it to commemorate his having a lovely pint in its local pub.

You can explain Ireland if you consider it to be a post-colonial country that has been forced to appear respectable because of its proximity to other Western Nations.

That's another thing that bugs me about Anglo-Saxons, why do they automatically assume that if your religion has a central figurehead you must be worshiping him instead of the actual deity he speaks for? They did the same thing when they referred to muslims as Mohammedans
aren't they though? they worship mohammed and that's allah there is to it

if you're proud of a heritage where you weren't really disadvantaged, you're kind of a dick. and if you're proud of a heritage where your people WERE disadvantaged, it all just devolves into "these people deal with poverty and famine like this, those people deal with poverty and famine like thiiiiiis"

fun fact #1: When charity boxes first appeared in Ireland,they were called "money for the black babies"

fun fact #2: One night when my mother was young,the parish priest came to her house and told my grandfather that if anyone asked,he was in the pub with him all night.I sometimes wonder what the priest did that night.
