The trouble with the Irish

LuciusPax

I'll try and get the ball rolling(and feel free to stop me if you’ve heard these before). First off, the notion that the Irish are a polite race is a myth of our own machination. We're all bastards. Also we don't have a 'unique' sense of humor that’s all nonsense, we have the same sense of humor as England, it’s just that our's comes in a different accent. Did you know that 'craic' isn't even an Irish word!?! Our celebrities are poop and even if they were any good we’d still say they’re poop because we begrudge everything and everyone. All people ever do is drink and there’s nothing, absolutely nothing for teetotalers to do. Nothing. God knows they’ve tried to look for alternatives. Our population consists almost exclusively of junkies, alcoholics, corrupt politicians, and people who are swamped in debt because they were such a shower of greedy bastards during our so-called Celtic tiger. The only people that are proud of the country are ignorant premiership football following gob****es who despise the English because of a vague notion of history that they can never properly articulate. Tales of the famine are greatly exaggerated and we're all a bunch of cowards 'cause we didn't take part in WWII. And did you know that 'craic' isn't even an Irish word!?!In Dublin, our nations capital, the shops, amenities, transport etc. are utterly feeble when compared to cities such as Berlin, Paris, New York, Barcelona, Mogadishu and many more. Not that you’d want to travel around the city any way, what with all the ugly Irish people about. Plus….sit down for this one…Guinness isn’t even Irish!?!I cried for two days after I heard this first and would never dream of telling my father for fear of what it would do to his weak heart. Don’t get me started on the weather.

All these problems, all these lies that we live with. But do you know what the worst one is? That ‘craic’ isn’t even an Irish word. That stings.

2/10.

The trouble with the Irish is loose bowels...it's all in the bowels....

Lets be honest

We are angry with each other.

For letting each other down...with those who kept voting Fianna Fáil....


We are angry really for not caring about each other.....

You are angry with yourselves.....


You are meant to look after each other


All of these threads are people who are hurt making WAAH WAAH sounds


This is what it's meant to be like...people looking out for each other...one minute in :-D
