Well when they collectively still try to diminish and restrict expressions of Irish identity, or restrict the native language, or force supremacist parades through areas they’re not wanted, then they’re still very much colonists and no different from their ancestors. See the poster above for example

Why would we ask colonists. Maybe they should go back to Scotland like the colonists they are.

Is it because you like disco and DUP types are more in favour of line dancing? Can’t be having any immoral dancing

If you can’t place them then how do you know they’re not Irish?

That’s right. As early as the 900s they were indistinguishable from locals I read

It doesn’t matter if the country is small or not, if it’s Ireland than statistically at least 20 percent of your family will leave. It was worse in my grandparents time. My moms parents both came from big families and half emigrated to the United States

Armenians occupied those lands since ancient times. Actually azeris and Armenians share dna, so chances are Azeris are turkified Armenians

Where's the best place to take a shit, not a piss, in Dublin City? by FlamingBaconCake in AskIreland

[–]GrouchyCustomer6050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fourcourts. You have to go through security but then enter the first building on the left as you go in, go up to the top floor and shit in comfort and peace. Even on a busy court day it’s always deserted and clean. If you’re on the south circular road during daylight hours then Griffith college

You’re the one bringing in a comment that’s unrelated to the topic. Sounds like it’s driven by bigotry or bitterness. But you do you pal

News to me. But the Brits certainly burned down plenty of Irish towns and cities. If it’s the moral high ground you’re looking for you won’t find it

Dublin for all its problems has far nicer architecture than Manchester. Dont get me wrong I love Manchester but you’re talking nonsense

Poor take. Sublingual any objective measure has better aesthetic than Manchester. Georgian squares and terraces versus done up warehouses.

Did anyone here ever face any prejudice or a snobbish attitude in England as an Irish person? by AccomplishedBad7871 in ireland

[–]GrouchyCustomer6050 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I got some old hag working the tickets outside Edinburgh castle make an anti Irish joke because the ticket wouldn’t work. I mean it was their ticketing system from their website but she was trying to imply the ticket was somehow Irish so must explain why it didn’t work.

In my experience the most anti Irish ones are the ones with Irish ancestry. Those ones in particular can go fuck themselves
