I cleaned it all up.

Nigerian Guinness is quite nice. More than two bottles is too much though.

merry humbug to you. have a crappy day and don't go drink any green beer.

Meh! - everybody needs to lighten up. Things were what they were then and they are what they are now.

Go ahead and drink the green beer, just don't eat the yellow snow.

Part of me is angered by revisionist history (Columbus being revered particularly pisses me off... 'let us, in the name of the Holy Trinity, go on sending back as many slaves as can be sold'), part of me recognizes that custom and tradition have pretty much nothing to with history... but mostly I just don't need an excuse to get drunk.

Did you ever consider that the ancient pagan chieftans and locals converted freely of their own will? I mean give your ancestors some credit, they were tough hardy and smart folks.
I mean considering how warlike and bad ass those berzerker guys were, I bet it was hard for a foreigner to just waltz in and say, "Hey guys, you're all wacky, listen to me please, 'cuz I'm like, all enlightened and stuff..." I'm surprised they didn't just eat St. Patty's liver right there.

And who cares really what happened then anyway, like any of us really know.
Let's just have an excuse to get together with amigos and partay!! Also, the vernal equinox is upon us, so the sun's comin' back, that's kewl too.

Not Irish?

I love the stuff!!! No green beer here!! And yea, I am Irish (american)

Funny story- I went to college with a kid who lives in Ireland. I mentioned my affinity for Guinness and he was totally amazed, saying even his friends back home wont drink it unless they havent eaten all day. As he said "Guinness isnt a beer.... It's a Meal!"

I'm Irish, my Fiance is Scottish so between us our children will be bad tempered alcoholics

Celebrate, or don't. its your morals and your conscience that you deal with, not mine.

Mom?

Who let my mom in here?

(While citing St. Patrick at the exterminator of the "true Irish" might seem legitimate, consider what Irish men and women have done to one another. My hope is for peace in the homeland. My hope is that all Irish soon live in a unified Ireland--Derry to Cork).

Slainte!

I didn't realize that Hitler converted the Jewish people to his religion. This changes everything. I'm going to start celebrating with a parade in his honor right away.

Oh? You say he did some other stuff too? Strange, Jonas assured me it was quite similar to converting people to one's religion.

From: someone

Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity instead of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs.

From: someone

The first St. Patrick's Day parade took place not in Ireland, but in the United States. Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched through New York City on March 17, 1762. Along with their music, the parade helped the soldiers to reconnect with their Irish roots, as well as fellow Irishmen serving in the English army.
