The Irish have serious demographic problems right now.


Not even close to the issues England and France are having.

So, name the other two Saints associated with Christianity and Ireland.

And? The Republic is being sold out in the same way both of those countries were. The only area not having demographic issues is Ulster. And the reason is because of the Loyalist militias. Sinn Fein is pro-migrant. This should surprise nobody. The IRA were in bed with the PLO, the Libyans and the East German commies during the Troubles.

NYC and Boston would beg to differ and it no doubt as a celebration in general spread from there.

Green beer. Street parties in the Irish Channel. Good enough for me.

Every Saint Patrick's day, I wear a bright orange Syrause shirt that just has the word "Orange" on it. Nobody has any idea.

Why do people want to have fun? Is that what you meant to say?

Anytime people are gathered and having fun, we can expect someone to come here and whine about it.

I once asked an actual Irish person on a chair lift what St. Patrick's day was like in Ireland. Was it a considered a religious day? Did they get offended by what Americans made it into over here?

"frick no, we get paralytic."
