    Why don't you learn old Gael then, which was ONCE a majority language, on the island of ireland? Or why don't you learn proto-indo european, if you could, which was once spoken by your forefathers?

    I've nothing against the language itself, but the problem with Irish is that it has been used as a political tool. It is also almost a symbol of defiance against the "oppressors". The whole Gaelic revival produced a bastardised version of the language which was rammed down everyones throats and sold as a lie- our "native" language that the collective national conciousness has "forgotten". And if we only look deep into our souls our genetic memory can remember the language, and rediscover what it means to be truly "Irish". What a load of crap.

    Those who speak Irish look down their nose at those who don't, and consider themselves more "Irish" because they "bothered" to learn it. I will forever associate it with psychotic teachers, an sickening waste of public resources spent needlessly translating, and the nationalist aholes like the IRA and co.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
