Yea,and it’s funny b/c it seems most cultures love them some alcohol,or plant based drink or smoke. Ya know?
I TOTALLY agree with the part about if it were another ‘ethnicity’,sh*t would hit the fan. And whilst I don’t take offense to the Irish comment [being Irish and all],it IS a rather tired,over-done and not-particularly-clever stereotype. And THAT is why it isnt’ funny. Boooooooring. I think the Irish are in the face with the drinking-i’d call that honest.(: We just have so much unexpressed and/or unrecognized artistry. Gotta channel it somehow.

Of all the movies I’ve seen this year(seen most of them )including seven pound(I like it’s a beautiful movie) and Bengamin button(long and tiring movie, not a bad storyline but nothing special about their acting ) In Bruges was the only movie I really loved(storyline, actingwise, just beautiful not a dull moment in this movie I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet) and colin farrell was magnificent, he deserves an oscar for it.

Dante, just to clarify, your stereotype of puking-drunk Irish wasn’t funny in the least so I don’t know why you’re insisting it’s humour. You do have some good ones now and then but this wasn’t one of them.

Your insult to me about eating charcoal and crapping out diamonds likewise wasn’t funny. It was rude and uncalled-for.

You’ve let fly with the thoughtless and offensive before. Maybe I have too, but never intentionally to insult or hurt another person’s feelings. You have though. It seems everything you post is intentionally nasty. I’ve seen you ‘scream at,’ condescend and otherwise more obviously personally insult other posters who happen not to agree or think the same as you do. Read the part above the posting section again about bullying and excessive negativity.

And Samantha, THIS is a rant *smile*

Ah, okay. I read your message but somehow did not make the connection. I can be a little slow sometimes.

Irish people do love them some alcohol though. That’s really more of a fact than a jab at the Irish community.

Sam, she was addressing my comment which was tongue in cheek. Humor is a difficult concept when you can eat charcoal and crap a diamond.

Baholicious: I don’t quite see what you are ranting about. I re-read the article, is there something in there that is derogatory towards Europeans?

Funny how people get away with casting aspersions on Europeans but if something along the above lines was said about Black people and fried chicken, or Jews counting money, the shit would hit the fan.

Besides Dante, Celtic folk go apeshit at New Year’s (Hogmanay in Scotland!)not Christmas, which is usually pretty understated -minor even- because years ago it was always considered an ‘English’ holiday.
