Not only are you unaware of the success Irish people have had, in literature, industry, politics and science, but your use of the term 'bona-fide' in describing yourself as Irish is an insult. You are American, not Irish, and your ancestors being traced to Cork isn't a factor in your nationality. I am from Cork, born in Cork, schooled in Cork, live in Cork. America is the land of immigrants who basterdised so many cultures, now full of young ignorant people with no clue as to what the reality of their former cultures is. '...Irish were dopes who could barely out think a gorilla. (In fairness, this is often the case.) ' Accuse a lack of intelligence in Irish people? Please, this from a nation that has caused countless wars, made the only atomic bomb attack in history, calls Paris Hilton a celebrity, thought G.W. Bush should be in office, and recently, that 34% of Americans thought Sarah Palin was qualified to run a country.... Really? Your lack of education on Irish facts and history is remarkable to me.

Heavy alcohol consumtion is woven into the fabric of our culture here in Ireland. Here is a classic example: Young people here, get drunk before they go out to the bars in order to get even more shitfaced, that is the mentality.

You would find that the Celts were known as great fighters. The Irish and Scotts are both Celts. The Whiskey rebellion in the US was fought by Celtic peoples. The Empire of Britain was built by a military composed of mainly Scotts (ie.Celts). Celts were not only great fighters, they loved it. Still Do. Erin Go Bragh! If you were to go back in history….
