How did I know October 6th, 2009 - 10:04 pm
that this post about Ireland would devolve into SOMEONE being ignorant?

Yes, because how DARE the Irish people expect you to know how to use their language in their country??? I can understand getting frustrated with trying to understand people (it got a little difficult at times when I was there last year) but I never took it out on the people- I was a stranger to their country. This was THEIR home and I chose to come there. I sat and listened to them and by the end of my stay I could generally figure out what was going on and if I was confused I would just ask politely for the person to repeat themselves. Everyone I met there were very kind and more than happy to slow down so I could understand what they were saying when accents got thick.

And how DARE the Irish people name their children in ways that honor their culture and past? It's not like other cultures don't do this. Nope!

Sweet Jeebus... I don't care if I got unfunny in that post. The pretension oozing from those comments just enraged me. I'm not Irish- I'm Irish-American- so I'm not sure if I have any right to feel a little offended but I do.

I... I don't even know. What a prejudiced little twat waffle.
