Question

plus st Patrciks day is so patronizing. bobbing for cabbage? potato hunts? AN F'ING GUINESS DRINKING CONTEST!! now i loike guiness as much as an irishman should, but thats insulting.

Answer 1

Your loss, it's a great party worldwide. OK, if you're not having fun, why go? But I don't see why you make racism your objection. Irish people aren't generally racist. Might as well boycott medical care because Florence Nightingale wasn't Irish. A good idea's a good idea.

Answer 2

I wouldn't worry about this until about March 1st, but hey, if you want to get a head start, go for it!

Patrick was Welsh but he was raised in Ireland, so I think he can still be a fine Irish saint.

Answer 3

i am doing this jsut to torture you

Answer 4

Jesus wasn't Irish....we celebrate christmas though.

He came to Ireland and converted it to christianity (pinch of salt). And drove the snakes out (pinch of salt...again)

Hitler wasn't German but we don't seem to care.

Answer 5

Saint Nicholas (Santa) was the patron saint of thieves and prostitutes, among others, Saint Valentine was in prison for most of his life... somehow committing the cardinal sin of being Welsh just doesn't sound all that bad.

Well he was never busted fooling around with sheep, so that comprehensively rebuts your assertion :)

There's lots of high-brow stuff like literature and dancing, if you don't want to hang with the rest of the proletariat. By teh way, I drink Harp.

Now I'm warning you, there may be some drinking and singing.
