ALL the good Irish people left years ago?
Well, thank you. Thank you very much. And as Dick Cheney may have said in the Senate 'Go F*ck yerself'

Although the Irish government was neutral, Irish men were not. They were free to volunteer in UK forces and did so in vast numbers.

BTW, the Irish you are referring to as having come over in great numbers were, as it turns out, less than HALF the Irish contingent making up the Irish part of the American people.
Over half the Irish ancestors were already here at the time of the American Revolution! They had no trouble at all assimilating, and absent their presence this place'd be speaking German FOR SHUR.

"God gave Ireland whiskey so that it would not rule the world. He gave Ireland Cromwell and the Potato Famine so that America would."Interesting point.

Thousands of left-wing activists marched through the Irish capital Friday to protest the arrival of President Bush
Ah sure, and he should wear it as a badge of honor, they did the same for Reagan.

I think the Dublin area has about a million, maybe two and they got 10,000.(unless you got Million Mom Math).
And considering Europe's pechant for demonstrations, that doesn't mean all that much.

Nice you think that a handful of protestors represent a populice. Now you know how I feel. I have to deal with jokers saying Michigan is a lost cause because of some jerks in Detroit and Ann Arbor.
BTW - Montague's an Irish name???

The best of the Irish went to America ay? The brain dead more like. You seem like the types who would vote Hitler or Stalin for president and then take offence if he's asked a few questions. I think ye get drunk after two pints we would still outwit ye.Heh... you're getting ahead of yourself, methinks. Go read the thread again and you'll see that I was defending Happygal's irritation at the people insulting/stereotyping her fellow countrymen.
And I've no doubt that most people could outwit me after a few drinks, as I'm not used to more than one or two over a fairly long stretch of time.
remember, Bush lied to YOU. and that is OFFICIAL!
Not commenting on this except to say that that might not be the wisest thing to post on your first day.
