    Well why would you? You've never been to the place, have no ancestors from there and are - to put it quite bluntly - an English imperialist pig.

    Depends how they integrate themselves into the scottish nation and how they choose to identify themselves.

    You were born on this island to be sure, but do you consider yourself Irish? The "irish" that stopme is referring to probably never considered themselves Irish idealistically, culturally or politically so therefore cannot be called Irish <ok>

    Do you consider yourself Irish?

    I consider my Northern Irish, that is the country I was born in.

    So can I just confirm that if you are born in say Scotland, you are not Scottish?

    Already answered that

    Northern Irish?? Never heard of such a nationality. What does your passport say? What nationality do you put down on your dole form?
    Are you Irish or not? General prequisites for being Irish are, Irish ancestry, association with Irish culture (OO parades dont count) and willingness to integrate oneself with it, effort made to learn/speak the traditional language ("ulster scots" <laugh> doesnt count) and EDGE..... no religion has nothing to do with nationality

    You've never heard of someone being Northern Irish?

    What a blinkered life you live, I'm starting to understand why you come off with that bigoted garbage.

    Superb dole joke though.<doh>

    Iv heard of it but dont understand the concept. My view of it is the descendants of the British settlers who have experienced a feeling from mainland of Britain of not sharing the same nationality (the mainland has turned their back on associating themselves with the loyalists of Ireland in other words) and so feeling no longer wanted as British have scrambled to manufacture an identity that allows them to continue identifying themselves as their own people and prevent themselves having to accept an identity as Irish.

    All very petty and bigoted when you think about it.
