[the lost irishman]

This is just for a bit of fun so be creative and dont just stop at 1, post as many as possible till we reach 108 reasons then i dont know what we'll do then.
I'll start it off
1.Because Ireland is the ultimate island

[The Lost Leprecaun]

cus we got booze:drinky:

[PondPikey]

cos of the luck of the irish!

[Granny Weatherwax]

4. Because allegedly we have lots of underground hatches full of weapons!! :boggled:

[Irishdude]

cos were not england

[lost in dublin]

cos were also full of prehistoric old dinosaurs possibly like the island is!!

[Granny Weatherwax]

Because half the population want to get off the island???!! :p

Slán,

[lockerates]

because our priests haven't killed people or dealt drugs (well most of them)

[Irish!]

9. Because endless fields are so much more intersting then exotic jungle and sandy beaches.:D

[The Lost Leprecaun]

cos Mary Hearny is scaryer then any monster

[Christemo]

Because I'm originally from there. :]

[Granny Weatherwax]

:clap: cos Mary Hearny is scaryer then any monster

[JohnLocke]

Because I live in Ireland and am Irish through and through

[jmwheeler]

Because Walt would be old enough to drink!

[kevr]

cos were not england

Pffff, u only wish you where though.

Maybe if the english stopped educating the irish your dumbness wouldn`t seem so strange!!!!!!!!!:Headbang:

[the lost irishman]

maybe if your country hadnt tried 2 take over our 1 then we wouldnt be so bitter

[vodverino007]

if england is so bad, why do most of the irish come over here when there 18 to colleges and unis and then slag it off?

[Irishdude]

im not anti english but i like to see them lose in stuff like football.........................rugby............ ...........war etc.
as for going over there when we r 18 we do it to find out that we have it so good over here

[Ellaroo]

No, you don't sound anti english at all.

And for what it's worth ......there are no winners, only losers in war.

But you seem like a really grounded, sensible, worldly wise person, who doesn't make sweeping generalisations - so I guess you knew that already.

(Edited for typo)

[Scott]

aww this looked like a fun thread till all the country bashing began.

Another reason is because Ireland is Scotland's drinking buddy!

[the lost irishman]

ok ok well just leave the country crap out and get back to what matters-why ireland is so great

[Irishdude]

im sorry for the insult,i dont really belive in all that country crap for what it worth,my favourite football team is english (GO ON MAN Utd),i hope you can forgive me....any way ireland kinda sucks i have run out of reasons,you can only say beer so many times before it gets old.

[The Lost Leprecaun]

[Kelly96]

[Lostaway]

Because, We are dedicated fans to the end and plus......who dosent like the Irish....besided the english but everyone else is either trying to be us and those who arent trying to be us have never heard of the irish.

[Kelly96]

Because we actually have a party on St.Paddy's Day!!

[LQ Jones]

C'mon, you guys !!

It's because Irish girls are beautiful !!

[island_maverick]

C'mon, you guys !!

It's because Irish girls are beautiful !!

And their accents are even better.

[LQ Jones]

and get back to what matters-why ireland is so great

Ok, so far we have beer, beautiful girls, and green fields.
Did I miss anything ?

There's centuries of Irish history:
Naked warriors with their skin painted blue to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.
It kept the Romans away.

Also: the Celtic heritage, James Joyce, and Michael Flatley.

Below is a picture of a Celtic cross that Saint Brendan the Navigator used over 1,400 years ago. It was a very accurate measuring instrument for long voyages at sea.
The Celtic cross was used by Irish sailors centuries before the invention of the astrolab and sextant.

I've never been -- it's way up there on my list, should the opportunity arise, but as I'm flying to Ireland, I'll be offering a rosary that the plane shouldn't crash and leave me never having tasted Guinness from a tap in a Dublin pub.

[the lost irishman]

Also: the Celtic heritage, James Joyce, and Michael Flatley.


Ok i donno about you but i dont regard Micheal Flatley to be one of the greatest things to come out of ireland.

[LQ Jones]

Ok i donno about you but i dont regard Micheal Flatley to be one of the greatest things to come out of ireland.

Speaking for myself, I enjoyed watching the Irish dance troupe when they made their debut here in the US.

[Ellaroo]

Over recent years I've got the impression that he is held in higher esteem abroad than he is at home. He has been very successful as an Irish Export. Did I read somewhere that he caused a bit of a stir in religious circles in Ireland? Or did I get my wired crossed? (It wouldn't be the first time.)

I guess the US get Micheal Flattley and we got Ruby Wax in return. :p

[LQ Jones]

Over recent years I've got the impression that he is held in higher esteem abroad than he is at home.

That's probably the case.
My ancestors immigrated to America from Ireland and I guess I like anything that helps me make a connection with their homeland.

I'm not aware of any religious overtones that may have been caused by their performances.

[Lostaway]

Because irish dancing rocks!

[Irishdude]

micheal Flatley............he is nothing to do with this tread at all!!he would b in 108 reasons why ireland sucks

[Ellaroo]

:rotfl:

[The Swan]

Michael flaley scares me, its the leg speed!!! Plus hes always grinning whilst he does it. Its like the bottom and top half of MF are two seperate enterties

[Ellaroo]

So it's not the men in tights that frighten you cc?

[Irishdude]

we made the worlds best band U2,

[Scott]

And Flogging Molly (they're not the best, but pretty good)

[Mattie]

Maybe the world's most overrated band. :) Seriously, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb sucked.

[Rocky Raccoon]

But you have to admire the rest.


Joshua Tree alone is enough for them to be the best band ever...
