    Are you suggesting the English don't have a backbone?

    What I am saying is that the Irish are far less likely to accept crap from the ruling classes.

    Maybe that's why Ireland has achieved little as a nation. Unless you count sport of course.

    But what I want to know is, what did the Irish eat before the English introduced them to potatos?


    (not as in, "Hello potato, I'd like to introduce you to this Irish person". Not that way, that would be silly)

    "....a deliberate and concerted attempt at ethnic cleansing by the British. While not creating the disease themselves they siezed upon its onset as an opportunity to rid the island of the unprofitable and rebellious native people."

    or

    "What I am saying is that the Irish are far less likely to accept crap from the ruling classes."
    -------

    Confused now, what is it? You're either getting thrown off your own island by the ruling classes or you're not accepting crap from the ruling classes?

    And Boyzone and Westlife. There are 3 things that us Irish should be thoroughly ashamed of

    I like U2's music.

    The best thing to come out of Ireland was Thin Lizzy.
