The British culture has been well established. Why don't you set up a poll and ask the forums British people do they consider themselves Irish, if you are so confident?

Disbelief at your continuing cultural ignorance.

Huh? This just makes no sense to me at all.

You claiming only Irish people have a valid identity? Oh dear.

Obviously not, just people who have lived in Ireland for generations, and you know it.

What did Freud say about the Irish? - "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever."

What did the great man mean?

It's cos we're too clever

[Zippy]

Ive lost track of wtf Nemo is on about.

Although mentioning rugby could well get Daniel back onto the thread...

[Nemo123]

At least Freud was part right.

"psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever"

In regards to the original post, she just seemed annoyed at the question, she probably has been asked it time and time again, and tbh, I get annoyed at being constantly asked if Ireland is part of UK aswell myself. It's just like when Americans and Canadians dislike being referred to as each nation, and the same with Denmark and Sweden, which has been posted several times in the board already.

It's not a hatred towards being referred to another nationality as you hate them, it's a hatred towards being asked stupid questions which some basic primary level history and geography should tell you.

Oh how I've missed this website and all these threads and the 'debates', I'm going to miss BB even more now cos I forgot how heated they can get.

John asked if southern ireland was uk and she got very offended and was like "No i hate it when people say that, its not uk" I was actually quite offended and i dunno why.

I know theres alot of polotics and s h i t in ireland but i didnt think someone would feel that strongly about not wanting to be british and she got quite angry about it

I have a feeling she is gonna be hated

The one to question about irish politics in the house is Steve...the guy who got blown to pieces by the IRA for stepping foot in Northern Ireland.

"Could he not find in his heart the generosity to acknowledge that there is a small nation that stood alone not for one year or two, but for several hundred years against aggression; that endured spoliations, famines, massacres in endless succession; that was clubbed many times into insensibility, but that each time on returning [to] consciousness took up the fight anew; a small nation that could never be got to accept defeat and has never surrendered her soul?”

If anything, the provo's, use of guerrilla tactics, is a testament to the British's military might. A running pitch battle wouldn't really last too long now would it.
Steve knew what he was getting into, he was a soilder, there was a war on, soilders get killed/blown up in wars
