Fuck St. Patricks day! (Rant)
 

I'm gonna take heat for this...but then again...I really don't give a fuck.

I Hate St. Patrick's day!(And I refuse to say St. Paddy's day, It's stupid)

First off I hate these goddamn days where everyone is so fucking proud of the country they came from. If you love it so much, go the fuck back! you know why you are here? Because you ancestors fled or escaped some really sucky place to come to America, that's why! If you live in the USA, It's because it fucking sucked wherever you came from.

Second, everyone is so proud to be Irish. If I were Irish, I'd be so embarrassed I'd dye my ugly fucking red hair and pretend to be something else. Ireland can't fight to save it's life, is "occupied" by England to this very day, Is rampant with terrorism, And if that's not enough, the national holiday revolves around Saint Patrick, a pagan slave which spent most of his life locked up, "found god" like most criminals, and the rest of it spreading the brainwashing disease of Christianity. Gee Thanks!

Not to mention that the Irish are know for being drunks...now maybe I'm getting old, but Is substance abuse something to be proud of? That's a reason to put on a stupid fucking green hat and run around with a shamrock like some drunk fucking retard?

And I'll tell you another thing. Anytime I see the asshole (and there's always one of them) that thinks it's cute to put the "Kiss me I'm Irish" button on his crotch area, I kick him straight in the nuts.

As you can tell I'm not really the "social" type, so don't take offense if you are Irish. believe me, A ton of people want to say what I just said, but don't have the balls. And as a final note "It's Saint Patrick's day" is not an excuse to get drunk and drive a car...take a cab.

That's all I have to say for now. Feel free to comment.

just have a drink

You're an idiot...

what you need to do.... is get drunk or get laid. you've got too much
hostility in you young one...

Name an Irish girl that stays out all night.

Patti O' Furniture

So basically you have no friends, and that explains your worthless post.

Makes sense...

Kind of reminds me of italians putting on a gangster theme and how everybody acts connected. :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
I Like you!

You are an angry, angry man! I like it. I can't wait for cinco de mayo.

Perfect example...what fine representatives for your culture... :1orglaugh

"now maybe I'm getting old, but Is substance abuse something to be proudof"

You tell me Mr Blue Pill.....

ding ding ding.. we have a winner....

ahh you know so little, and it shows.

I'm 100% Irish and actually have dual citizenship , and I agree with some of what you said. Yet I think of it as just an excuse, for everyone to have a good time. Which come on all the miserable Sheeple need some fun in their lives Irish or not. As far as having ties to their old land. Now that cracks me up Ray who runs "MOB Bucks" for gods sake.(Enough said). Besides how much fun are the Italians during St.Genaros. Their too fat to get out of the chairs and move around to much pasta. So you guys eat your Carbs and we Drink them.

Well I don't wear a stupid fucking hat and run around whoooping it up about it!

Nice!

And don't worry, Ray hates everyuone including himself. He'll go off on Italians soon and then he'll move to Latinos... there is no one he won't piss off given enough time. That's why I'm here... to balance the universe cuz I love everyone.

Yiou need to get out more

screw it

i think a great drink would have your mood change into a festive one

Kiss me I'm Irish :pimp

Don't worry, I'll rant about St. Genaros and the Italians just as much. I don't take part in all that ethnic bullshit because I realize that my relatives came here because it fucking sucked where they were. Have "get drunk to support Capitalism day" and i'm in. And in 20 or 30 years when we have to flee this country because of the oppression that is starting now, you can be damn well sure I won't be celebrating "America Day" that's for damn Sure.

And fuck you too... :1orglaugh

No friends by choice (when you are charming like myself, it's hard to keep em away), worthless post? I don't think so.

P.S. I'd have more friends if most people were not completely ignorant, inconsiderate, self centered, simple minded, assholes.

I'm with you on that. Reminds me of a saying "You can't organize a Truth, because then it becomes about the Orginization ,and not the Truth" actually I just made that up but it sounds good LOL

Thats why E.L.K (Everybody Loves Knuckles)

the difference between an irish wedding and an irish wake: one less drunk

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I like Ireland, I like Irish people, and I like St Patricks Day.

just another reason to go have a beer.

i think you have put way to much thought into this

Now thats BRISK baby (Lipton commercial)

You had a rant similar to this before, didn't you?

Thats fucking classic right there! If you like it so much go the fuck back! :1orglaugh

Is the Easter rant next? :glugglug

I Hate St. Patrick's day!(And I refuse to say St. Paddy's day, It's stupid)
So stay the fuck home and save the empty barstool for one of my fellow micks at the local Irish pub. We'd probably boot you out anyways for impersonating.

First off I hate these goddamn days where everyone is so fucking proud of the country they came from. If you love it so much, go the fuck back! you know why you are here? Because you ancestors fled or escaped some really sucky place to come to America, that's why! If you live in the USA, It's because it fucking sucked wherever you came from.
I just went back to my home country. In all honesty, I loved it a hell of a lot more than the US, and I plan on living there 6 months a year. Back then, times were rougher back there, especially with the famine. Why aren't you living in the shitty country in which your ancestors came from?

Second, everyone is so proud to be Irish. If I were Irish, I'd be so embarrassed I'd dye my ugly fucking red hair and pretend to be something else. Ireland can't fight to save it's life, is "occupied" by England to this very day, Is rampant with terrorism, And if that's not enough, the national holiday revolves around Saint Patrick, a pagan slave which spent most of his life locked up, "found god" like most criminals, and the rest of it spreading the brainwashing disease of Christianity. Gee Thanks!
Northern Ireland is ran by England, and shunned by the rest of the country. I'm not from a county in Norther Ireland, so my part of the country is in fact run by the Irish, for the Irish. Ireland is in fact a neutral country. Why not be proud of a country that doesn't need to fight the rest of the world? St Patrick spread Christianity to the aristocracy. The struggle that he went through to reach the high ranks as a peasant is what is really celebrated.

Not to mention that the Irish are know for being drunks...now maybe I'm getting old, but Is substance abuse something to be proud of? That's a reason to put on a stupid fucking green hat and run around with a shamrock like some drunk fucking retard?
And I guess acting like a mobster is any better? I'd rather be a drunk than a criminal. As far as the Irish being drunks, that's pretty far off. The Irish have a tradition to visit the local pub after a long days work. This meant having a drink or 2, but not drinking yourself stupid. DOn't the Italians do that with their wines? Also, the alcohol content in Ireland is less than it is here in the US.

And I'll tell you another thing. Anytime I see the asshole (and there's always one of them) that thinks it's cute to put the "Kiss me I'm Irish" button on his crotch area, I kick him straight in the nuts.
I agree with you on this. Those assholes do deserve a swift kick to the nuts.

I actually do take offense, just as much as any other person who is proud of their heritage would. A person who said this in person to me without a smile on their face would have a bit of a problem. You forgot 1 thing: Not only are we "drunks", but we have hot tempers. As far as the driving, no worries. I'm cabbing it. :thumbsup

You don't know shit about Ireland. You are obviously not familiar with the war of independence, and are obviously not familiar with the current political landscape. Only 6 of the 32 counties of Ireland remain under British control. You do know that the Irish actually won the Anglo-Irish war, right? A peace treaty was struck with the English by Michael Collins whereby England got to keep six of the 9 counties of Ulster which became Northern Ireland. Collins basically betrayed the republican cause and sold out to the British. de Valera was none too happy about this and wanted to keep fighting and free all of Ireland. This led to the Irish civil war, but de Valera's forces had no chance as Collins' forces were supplied with British weapons and were vastly outnumbered. So yes, part of Ireland is still under British rule, but their grip is loosening with every passing year.

Northern Ireland will have a devolved government within 2 years, and support for nationalist parties is growing steadily and has been for years. Ireland will be united and free within the next 20 or 30 years. Rampant with terrorism? Terrorism is not an issue any more. The big issue now is criminality. The various paramilitaries (Whether they be republican; IRA, INLA, or unionist; UDA, UVF, RHC, etc) are now basically criminal organisations involved in the drug trade and racketeering. Killings are usually "internal" matters or issues between paramilitaries. Innocents are killed from time to time, but it does not amount to terrorism. You're about 10 years behind in your thinking.

Here's an interesting read about international alcohol consumpion. It's interesting to note that the statistics that suggest Ireland has high alcohol consumption are the studies where Ireland was lumped in with the Scotland, England and Wales.

Do you even know the reason for the massive influx of Irish to america in the mid 1800's? I am guessing not. Ever hear of the potato famine? Most people don't realise the potato problem was not something that was limited to Ireland. It was happening all over the world and actually started in North Carolina. Crops all over the world were failing. Ireland was the only place where it lead to famine and massive deaths. 2 million people out of the population of 8 million died because of the potato famine, just so you know. Twenty five percent of the fucking population, and you wonder why people wanted to get the fuck out of the country? And who's fault was it that so many people died in Ireland, and not in all the other places effected by the failing potato crops? It was the fault of the British.

Contrary to popular belief, potatoes were not the only crop that Ireland were producing. Potatoes just happened to be the only crop that British landlords would allow their Irish feudal tenants to eat and feed to their livestock. The other major crops being grown in Ireland were corn, wheat, barley and oats. Under the British free trade policy, all of these crops were being exported. When the potato famine occurred, this did not change. They continued to export every viable crop while 1.5 million Irish starved to death. Another half million died trying to emigrate across the Atlantic.

Oh, and what about the excess crops that the British were unable to sell? The British didn't want to disturb the markets, so this food was simply left in storage. There was a no welfare policy in place. Over a million lives could have been saved had it not been for the greed of the British.

You don't know shit. Stick your rant up your arse.

I didn't go as in depth as you, but you elaborated on my response. Thanks a lot, bro!

It's 1 thing to say "Fuck a Holiday". It's another to say fuck a culture/heritage.

The Luck of the Irish
 

The Luck of the Irish
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you see lots of pasty white dudes with red hair inebriated from drinking green beer and chugging whisky while consuming massive quantities of corned beef and cabbage, that's what is known as a sign.

Lot's of people don't know it, but the late John Belushi was Irish...this is what he had to say:

The Luck of the Irish
Written by John Belushi

Jane Curtin: And now we come to St Patrick's Day and John Belushi is here to discuss the luck of the Irish.

John Belushi: Thank you, thank you very much. Well, it's come that time again, St. Patrick's Day has come and gone and well, the sons of Ireland are basking in the glow.

When I think of Ireland I think a lot of colorful Irish expressions like, "Top of the morning to ya," "Kiss the barney stone," "May the road rise to meet ya," "May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead," "I'd like to smash you in the face with my shillelagh," "Danny-boy," "Begorra," "Wail of the banshee," and "Whiskey for the leprechauns, whisky for the leprechauns."

But the expression I think most people identify with the Irish, is, of course, the "Luck of the Irish".

The luck of the Irish. Sure. Let's say you're in a pub somewhere in Ireland, oh, anywhere in Ireland, some guy comes up to you and says, "Hey is that a bomb on you I hear ticking?" And then BAM!!! Your small intestines are on the ceiling and your brains are on your car across the street. That's the luck of the Irish for ya, who's kidding who, okay?

Let's talk about the bad luck of the Irish, all right? How about this, POTATO FAMINE!!

How about that? It scares them, doesn't it? Well, it should. That's why they came here in the first place. So they wouldn't have to work in the potato fields. That's why they became politicians, priests, and cops.

Luck? Gimme a break.

I got a friend, his name is Dan Sullivan, he's Irish as they come. We used to drink together a lot. After two drinks, he would look like an Irish pirate. You know? You think he had luck? In one day he got his car stolen, and the stupid, he had no insurance, and no license, and he gets locked up for being drunk.

And after that, he takes off for someplace like India or Nepal, or someplace like that. And his mother dies, ya know, so they wire him to tell him to come to the funeral. It's his mother's funeral, that's all. And he's in India or Nepal, sitting squat-legged listening to some sacred cow. So he comes back and he gets stopped at U.S. Customs for trafficking illegal drugs, not holding, he's trafficking.

I mean, here's this guy Sullivan, his old lady kicks off, he gets popped at the border and he's sitting on fifty pounds of black Tibetan finger hash and two keys of slam. Now that's not bad luck, that's DUMB luck. I don't think luck has anything to do with it, I don't think he has any brains at all. First of all, he's drunk, then he's a junkie. I don't know what's worse! Don't ask me, ask Sullivan!

And what happens?! He calls me up and says, "Hey man, I got busted at the border. I need five grand bail." I said, I said, "Five grand man!? Hey man, I've never even seen five thousand dollars in my life, so don't ask me for it, man, why don't you ask your mother!!" Which was a dumb thing for me to say because his mother just died.

Right now, I got this drunken Irish junkie who wants to kill me because of what I said about his mother being in terminal dreamland! Oh pal. One thing! One thing!!! They love their mothers, boy, oh they love their mothers.

It's momma this, momma that. Oh my Irish mother! Ireland must be heaven, because my mother.. aauugghhh! Aaauugghhh!!! (as he flails he nearly slams his head on the desk and then falls off his chair, still screaming)

Jane Curtin: Well, that's the news. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

On St. Patrick's Day everyone is Irish. Get drunk and deal with it.

ADG Webmaster

Piss of and choke on a green beer :321GFY

So if I like the country that represents my ethnic type, I need to go the fuck back? You guys are tools.

Cant we all just get along?

There's always some asshole who will bitch about a day that brings nothing by joy to so many people around the world.

By the way, Happy St. Patrick's Day from downunder. 6.37 am down here.

dude "GO FUCK YOURSELF" You have no idea what the fuck your talking about.
what the fuck would you know about this country.
go back to your little dark room with your porn whack off a bit and die.

and your remark about "rampant with terrorism" look at america blowing the shite out of every country that it might make some money out of.

(no offence intended there to americans in general)


LOVE PADDY

Says the American...
Do you think there is a good reason as to why nobody in the entire world likes Americans, and you have to fake at being Canadian if you want people to be nice to you. The reason is because you walk around, no matter what country you are in proclaiming how good USA is. Everyday is America Day as far as you are concerned.

Have a freaking beer, any excuse is a good excuse for a Guiness.

God Bless St Patrick :pimp

More great points..The best part about being in Ireland is that you don't have to deal with the elitist American attitude on a daily basis. When talking to locals, you get a sense of their anger and worry towards America. It was then that I realized that the rest of the world is laughing at us and out silly wars.

"everyone loves an irish girl" :)

Ireland is probably the place where anti-american sentiment hits home the hardest for americans that travel there. Simply because Ireland has always had a bit of a love affair with the US. Visiting presidents have always been welcomed with open arms. I believe Bush is the first american president to have ever been protested against when visiting Ireland. Things will probably slowly return to normal once Bush is out, though.

Just chill and have a drink, you'll feel much better very fast.

Don't waste your breath guys.

It's hard to change a biggot's mind.
