Just now...

Daughter: Aren't the Irish known for drinking?

Me: Yes. They're also known for fighting.

Daughter: I want to be Irish.

It’s my understanding that the Irish died in great numbers of yellow fever while manually digging the Irish Channel in New Orleans.

Black slaves were far too valuable to use and risk losing so,,,the Irish got the jobs.

The Irish have been invaded over and over for over 1000 years. The Vikings only got so far. The English lasted 800 years until they'd finally had enough bullshit and after a two year guerilla styled war kicked at the time arguably the worlds strongest military dafuq out of their country in 1921. And England is only a short boat ride away.

We went to Ireland last year I really got off on the history which is right there in front of you if it hasn't been blowed up in the past. They're happy and very warm people and yes they love to drink. But do not back an Irishman in to a corner they will only be pushed so far.

You guys are completely missing the point. My daughter is hilarious. She's 9.

That was comical.

The Irishman
The savage loves his native shore,
Though rude the soil and chill the air;
Then well may Erin's sons adore
Their isle which nature formed so fair,
What flood reflects a shore so sweet
As Shannon great or pastoral Bann?
Or who a friend or foe can meet
So generous as an Irishman?

His hand is rash, his heart is warm,
But honesty is still his guide;
None more repents a deed of harm,
And none forgives with nobler pride;
He may be duped, but won't be dared--
More fit to practise than to plan;
He dearly earns his poor reward,
And spends it like an Irishman.

If strange or poor, for you he'll pay,
And guide to where you safe may be;
If you're his guest, while e'er you stay,
His cottage holds a jubilee.
His inmost soul he will unlock,
And if he may _your_ secrets scan,
Your confidence he scorns to mock,
For faithful is an Irishman.

By honor bound in woe or weal,
Whate'er she bids he dares to do;
Try him with bribes--they won't prevail;
Prove him in fire--you'll find him true.
He seeks not safety, let his post
Be where it ought in danger's van;
And if the field of fame be lost,
It won't be by an Irishman.

Erin! loved land! from age to age,
Be thou more great, more famed, and free,
May peace be thine, or shouldst thou wage
Defensive war, cheap victory.
May plenty bloom in every field
Which gentle breezes softly fan,
And cheerful smiles serenely gild
The home of every Irishman.

James Orr

This always hung in my uncle's kitchen, it was his eulogy when he passed last year.

Was going to ask how old.
She’s adorable.
Tell her on behalf of the Irish, we’d love to have her.

The Irish family dynamic grin

Funniests parts for me, the IRA guy hiding in the trunk and at the end, that fife and drum music in the background is a Protestant Orange Order parade passing by through a Catholic neighborhood. Marching season.

I was told the Butte Montana area had a large Irish population, due to mining.

I’ll ‘fess up, I love this series and I don’t even have a TV grin

A WHOLE lot closer to the truth than the usual twaddle.....

Grandfathers last name was Ireland. I guess he took that name when he came over here!

I'll fight any man that calls the Irish a bunch of drunks. Soon as I finish my breakfast beer.

Yep, we was, and were farther down the social Totem Pole than blacks.


Still, I don't get all butt hurt when someone calls me a " Mick"


And I haven't asked for reparations...yet.
