@brelfan Inferiority comlex or what.Your local library has many history books,u should borrow one sometime.Well we're a free country so yes we did win a war.U shud google who the San Patricios were to know that in actuality bullshit is one thing we don't stand for.As an American,maybe u should note d contribution of Irish men and women to your country.Oh,and 'write fairly well for people who werent Jewish' that made me laugh,Beckett,Joyce,Wilde.who have u produced?Philip Roth?Don DeLillo?pfft

@saoirse2011 No need to get angry with him. There are ignorant people in every culture.

@brelfan Look at the comment, I was giving examples of Irish involvment in just 2 wars,sometimes on opposing sides, so we won some and we lost some,just like the US, but I would imagine the Irish who fought for the Union in the US civil war felt like winners and Irish who fought in WW1 felt the same.But as an independent nation we are neutral and were not involved in any wars or conflicts.Here endeth the lesson.Try to read more.

@saoirse2011 You're saying the Irish won a couple world wars? I don't think you've proved your point. You've reiterated mine: The only arts of war the Irish have mastered are overstatement and bullshit.

[saoirse2011]

@brelfan Tpyical ignorant fool,but we should be not surprised at this,the level of education in the USA is abysmal.Two of the Clancy brothers, Paddy and Tom served in the RAF in WW2 and 35,000 Irish men died in ww1.In this case the term "fool yank" is justified.

[brelfan]

Did the Irish win any kind of war? Afterall, after all these songs? Or did they tell funny jokes, drink a lot and write fairly well for people who weren't Jewish?

These are cherished songs and memories from my youth growing up in a VERY Irish household. I was fortunate enough to have had a Grandfather that was not only an Irish Immegrant, making me Second Gen. American Born, but Both he AND his Oldest Brother Spent over a year in that Rott hole called "Kilmahnam"!

I have all of the Passion of those heros, and at times, I do "Hear the Cry of the Warrior" so to speak, but I also belive in a world with out wars.

a truly UNITED World of Humankind!
