I'm certain that during the chat about the songs when you were waxing lyrical about your dislike for them you said that only your Granny was Irish.
I did say I wasn't going to get drawn into this. I'm not sure that offering an explanation would prove justification! I agree with you, however, that some things are taken too seriously but aren't we all guilty of that on occasion, depending on mood and/or if the 'right' buttons are pressed at the 'wrong' time?
Who knows... it's the internet! Half my family is irish. My dad's side is strongly scottish catholics. Still doesnt mean I love the Ra!! or singing about them!!!
Just going back to the last argument... I dont hate the irish as a rule - as I said, mainly at the wind up!
Found the right board then. Why do you call people Spastics? You use the word a lot. Is it still used at collection points in wherever you live?
