I think its fair that people in N. Ireland who want to call themselves Irish, and say they live in Ireland can, they are entitled to an Irish passport arent they??

Why aren't Nigerians or Nicaraguans who want to call themselves Irish and say they live in Ireland entitled to an Irish passport then?

They're no more or less foreign to me...

Poll?? What's the most options you can get? It could be like the Monopoly board voting all over again.

If you are going to come across in all 'actually' posts, it is best to be actually correct.

their tribalism!!...well thats rich...seeing we're just as tribilistic down here

Yes but our tribalism extends to knocking the fcuk out of one another on a GAA pitch whereas their tribalism involves intense hatred of one another, bombs, bullets, burning of effigies, their fcuking "marching season". They can't accept that neither the Brits or the Republic want them. In this recession, we'll give them even less attention and they won't have world leaders fawning over them like they have for the past 10 years.

PS - 2 words that I now cannot stand hearing - PEACE PROCESS

My quote was that just coz 2 countries share a landmass, then that doesn't mean they are the same nation. I've been to Canada and the US and while they share the same language (Quebec apart), their customs are different, and the people are different (Canadians much more laid back).

Similarily, Nordies have strange attractions to the past and to things that most citizens of the Republic don't give a damn about. They are soooooooo fcuking intense and goddamn serious unlike us laid back citizens of the Republic.

When do you think we stopped being the same nation?

I'm not anti Brit, I quite like them really, very quaint people with some nice traditions from their past.

To be honest, I'm anti nordie. I cannot stand the feckers one eensie weensie little bit. Their bloody grating accents, their whinging, moaning triumphalism/victimisation is wearisome to say the least. Why couldn't we and the British have built a wall around the kip and let them finish one another off as they so obviously want to do. Have you seen the film DOOMSDAY, now thats what I have in mind.

Well now, I'd better change my opinion completely because Wiki said so.

Anyhoo, back on topic...

Has to be Longford, or to be more precise... Granard.

I refuse to stop there when I'm driving through in case I get murdered by toothless hillbillies playing 'Deliverence' on a tin whistle.

I mean come on, they park their cars perpendicular to the pavement which is always a sign you're in major bogville.

"WE" don't harp on about 1916 - the FFers do as they have claimed intellectual rights to that event but this is disputed by the Shinners (oh why couldn't they have stayed up in that diseased entity in the north east). Most citizens of this great republic don't think twice about 1916 - it was a bloody failure after all.

As for the love Ulster parade, that was the Shinner, Dissident Republican, Celtic FC jersey wearing scanger element of Dublin. Most Dubs wouldn't give 2 fcuks about some stupid nordies marching in Dublin. We'd just think they were pathetic.

Back on topic, I'd propose the 6 counties of the Uk that reside on this island as the worst counties in Ireland but I'd just be contradicting myself as they most evidently are not part of this republic.

My first post stated that although Canada and the US (similarily the Republic and Northen Ireland) share the same landmass, they are separate countries. Your quote changed this context by stating that Canada was part of north America. Thats akin to stating that the Republic and northern Ireland are part of Europe. Factually true but that was not my argument.

You do accept then that NI is part of Ireland then?

Canada and the USA share the same landmass that is North America. NI & the RoI share the same landmass that is Ireland. You referred to Canada not being part of the USA and I pointed out that it is part of North America. I similarly point out that NI is part of Ireland (other people deny this though).

Roscommon.

Nothing there, just farmland and the odd bothrín.

In fact anywhere out in the west. We should shut down the west. No one would notice.

Dublin, I think it is only my necessity that a lot of people live and work there.

When you say you're from Kerry people automatically think you're a farmer.

just because leitrim is the least populated county doesnt make it the worst county. I have been through it numerous times and enjoy the lovely scenery when passing by. Its a county that is not totally ruined by the property boom either.

And no im not from leitrim.

Everyone knows longford, roscommon and leitrim don't exist. So you can all remove them from the list because you're not fooling anyone. They're just "filler" counties to make Ireland sound bigger.

Think about it, have you ever met anyone from these counties ?, have you ever driven through these counties. Really really think long and good, you were just imagining it. I can't even find them on Google Earth FFS !!! :eek:

think about it, where was the first president of ireland born, albert reynolds (and no it ain't longford), Maureen O' Sullivan or Percy French. they all didn't exist maybe :eek:

worst county?
