Answer 8

10 Things You Should Know about Us Irish

We still dislike the English as a race and hate to see them succeed. It's nothing personal to the people just years of history and oppression which we still feel hard done by.

We love most other nations except the freaky religon ones.

We are the second wealthiest nation in  the world with more than 30,000 millionaires living here in a population just over 4 million.

We are getting very americanised and expensive so if you are planning a holiday here be prepared.

Our weather is damp and cold about 360 days a year. (Maybe a slight exaggaration!)

Yes we do love the craic and the drink but the majority of us can't afford to socialise anymore due to sky high prices in pubs. Pint of Bud costing between 4 and 5 euro.

House prices are the highest in Europe with a semi detached 3 bed in the range of 350 to 500,000 euro in any town or city.

We love to travel, hence a large Irish population in every country.

Very few of us actually know how to speak Gaelic despite learning it in schools for 14 years. (Blame them d**n English again!)

We are a neutral country and do not really have a military or army at least not one that does anything except escort the president around the country.

Answer 9

I'm 50% irish and I think we are great, not shy with women, don't drink too much, we aint racist, only every 3rd word is a curse word. We have a green and beautiful land, no bombings, a booming economy . And we put up with old american tourists coming over in their polyester leisure suits talkin about the quaint old country, and how we must all live in thatched cottages and go to work on donkeys.

Oh and the other 50% of me is Irish too!!

Answer 10

Everyone likes their accent and they have a beautiful country. To bad America builds on every inch of our land. Other countries respect the land and try to preserve it.

Answer 11

I am partly Irish.  From all I have heard, Ireland is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, with friendly people and a booming economy.  Everyone I know who has visited there has loved it.  I know Ireland had big problems in the past, I hope those are behind it forever, and that the upward trend for the Irish people continues!

Answer 12

Ah sure, we're alright. We're hard working, unworried people who just worship The craic (fun). We've also octupled our suicide rate since 1940 and are remarkable greedy when it come to land. We're slightly rascist but thats generaliziing. Our humour will take the pi$$ out of ANYTHING-dead baby jokes, abortion jokes, rascist and rape jokes. We have a truly DARK sense of humpur alright-can be insulting to some but ya gotta take the good with the bad and laugh at the bad.

We're pretty shallow at times and certainly dont deserve the Isle of Saints and Scholars any more.

But we are very friendly and warm. We are still very tribal in our own way and VERY defensive about what it means to be irish (since we spent 800 years fighting for our identity and some say we even lost it). In fact i kinda get annoyed when people who are 3rd generation Irish claim to be irish-these are the one's who abandoned us in our time of ultimate need-between the Great Famine and Civil War.

We love drink alright maybe too much-definitely too much. Our leaders are corrupt and greedy but we take it in our stride.

Too fatalistic but considerably shrewd. Very talented people-think of the contribution of our 3 million in comparison to the rest of the world.

I'm proud to be irish but critical enough to not blindly love it.

Answer 13

honestly? could care less.

Answer 14

I married an Irish man so I would have to say that I love them.......................at least some of them.lol

Answer 15

Only people in the world I know that can make their vices seem like virtues! I love them!

Answer 16

Lovely people, they drink too much, but they're very warm, fun-loving and great friends. I've been here for almost three months and I don't remember arguing with anyone!

Can I tell you one thing that bothers me though? Irish men are so good-looking and so funny, why are they so shy about approaching a woman that they have to take a few pints first? Call me old-fashioned but I don't like to make the first move! And I do not enjoy men coming on to me when they're drunk!

And no! I am not ugly!

Answer 17

I think half are angry all the time an the other half pretend they are too , because everyone else seems to be that way.

Answer 18

well I have one 100% irish friend, and I dont see any difference with her and others.  ALTHOUGH--in the old times --apparently the irish were known to be gossips and drunks--my grandmother still says "shanty irish".....who knows...

Answer 19

Yes! I also love their accent, but they're also very friendly I find. Plus their country is beautiful.

Answer 20

Answer 21

My Grandfather was Irish and married a black woman, I have met very few who aren't racist. I haven't been there but I hear in Ireland the only way they refer to blacks is N@gg#.

Answer 22

Answer 23

I think they're awesome! I wish I was Irish. Oh, wait, I am! Sort of. 3rd generation, so I'm only half Irish.

Answer 24

We're funny, smart, beautiful, friendly, warm hearted, fun loving, always up for a bit of craic, and good natured. I can't imagine living anywhere else without missing the place and the people.

Answer 25

Answer 26

love 'em, what a great country w/ wonderful hospitality, and great food too, which surprised me a bit,  however, the beer is not cold enough there, but that is how they like it.  Never been in northern Ireland only the south and would love to go back because their is always whiskey in the jar...
