Paddy's day is as much about a good party as it is any one countries traditions nowdays. St. Georges day has not developed the same reputation hence why it sucks. Remove any patriotic meaning and it's just a wild piss up of a day versus a day not a lot of people care about.

Half of the St. Patrick story is mythology anyway. And as a day that celebrates him introducing a faith that would dominate our government with backwards thinking up until a few years ago, I personally believe it's nothing to celebrate about, more a general feel good day.
