Too bad there are more people in America that are Irish or of Irish decent as opposed to how many there are in Ireland.
So seriously, this thread means diddly squat.

I'm more Irish than most people on this board considering my granddad was an Orangeman but dont jump on the plastic paddies bandwagon every St Patricks day.
I'm part Irish and part Czechoslovakian but you don't see me going around telling people they don't need to celebrate something because it doesn't pertain to them.
Oh hey look at me I've got an Irish heritage so I'm better than you all. PFT

Not being Irish, I dont really care other than finding the thing rather silly. It must be annoying for Irish people though suddenly having loads of people who like telling you that they are proud of being Americans to one day a year coming out of the closet to claim the're Irish.
The funniest thing is that when Peter came up with that link about surnames, apparently I have some roots in SW Ireland, can I join in?
And just FYI St Patricks Day is also when people celebrate the beginning of Spring so it's not just for Irish folk to celebrate.
And the start of the Irish tourist season, hence the celebrations :24:
if you look into it you'll find that guinness is a dark stout originally brewed in london:nod:
interesting...would that be the czech republic or slovakia?:ninja
I haven't done any research on it. But seeings how they didn't actually split til 1993 it wouldn't matter to me because I was born before that.
I just have gone off of what my grandparents have told me. I do know there's more to my background than that, but haven't got around to actually looking into it all.
Who gives a fuck? Go get drunk and STFU
you should,i've got my dads side back about 250 years.....its very interesting,i have long lost relatives all over europe and a few in america
Yea I want to, but up until about a year ago I really didn't worry about it. I've got a lot of info to gather on my sperm donors side before I dive in and get to researching lol.
I don't see Germans bitching about Americans celebrating Oktoberfest LOL
Didn't we have this same arguement last year???? Lol...
