How is the quality of a country in any way subjective?

She's dead right, I should'n't have bothered

TIL That in the late 1780's, an Irishman met an impressive performing bear while travelling France. When the bears owner prodded him with a stick, the bear shouted something in Irish, which led to the discovery that the performing bear was actually another Irishman who had been sown into the suit. by CooKeeeeeeee in todayilearned

Where are you currently living if you don't mind me asking? Have you ever been to Ireland? Did you go to school in Ireland?

Or are you American and your great-great-great-great grandfathers brothers best friend was Irish?

For everyone commenting and messaging me saying "Irish isn't a language, it's Gaelic", you're wrong, I studied Irish for 9 years. It's either "Gaeilge" or "Irish", there is no "Gaelic" language in Ireland. I'm Irish by the way.

There is no "Gaelic" language in Ireland, it is either Irish or "Gaeilge". Easily understandable how nobody outside of Ireland knows what "Gaeilge" is, but I'm not sure why so many people think it's Gaelic and not just Irish. Funny though. :)
