A country with a rich culture and heritage, plus lots of drinking. Stereotyped by the world as being farmers and leprechauns (That accent that Richard Gere uses in the Jackal actually does not exist) Oppressed for centuries and today divided, we are now ruled by corrupt politicians who are more interested in the contents of their next brown envelope than the welfare of the country.

Yes, despite all that, I'm proud to be Irish.

The best place on the planet. Everyone rocks there and it's so green and lovely. We have our own language which is one of the longest surviving in the world but the vast majority of us speak English because those bastards invaded our island and took all our land and opressed us with huge taxes that just went straight into the King of England's pocket, but then in the early 20th century we fought back and won most of the country back (we didn't get 6 counties in the north). Now we have a really bad government but who cares IREALND ROCKS\! P.s. Noone in Ireland sounds the way you americans think we do. And not everyone in Ireland is called SEAMUS\!

Land of awful weather. You can freeze there in summer time. Land of drinkers and black sheep. BUT It's the greenest land i've ever seen. The most beautiful, the most 'mystic'. The land of shamrocks, POTATOES(\!\!\!\!\!) poets & writers. Ireland rocks and will rock forever. The sky moves with you.

A small location on the western edge of Europe, it has a long and colourful history. After 600 years of oppression, and several previous attempts (which coined the phrase "The fighting Irish - As they never lay down and accepted occupiers) the Irish revolted in 1916 to go on a defeat the British empire and force them to withdraw from the nation. Humiliated, the British made an agreement to leave the Island, except for 6 northern counties to save face from absolute defeat. Ireland has been the thorn in Britains side for centuries. The withdrawl was due to several reasons. 1/ International condemnation and pressure for their treatment of the Irish. 2/ The brittish were unable to control the Irish as every man in the street was willing to lay down his life for his country and his freedom. 3/ The losing battle they were fighting on the streets of Dublin and towns around the country was humiliating for an "Empire". Irelands population was once peaked at 12 million in the 1800's.... a century on, the Irish population is 3.5 million. This is due to brittish rule forcing famine around the country in which millions of innocent people starved to death or died of the plague and hundreds of thousands of others were forced to emigrate, mostly to the USA, Australia and Argentina. After the Brittish left, the Irish fell into civil war over the agreement to let them leave and keep the 6 counties. Some were for this, as the Brittish were fucking off, some were against it as they were willing to keep fighting them until they surrenderd and withdrew unconditionaly. The only reason Northern Ireland is still under UK control is that during the civil war in the south, brittish plantations were put in the north, sending over hundreds of thousands of UK citizens to dilute the Irish population in these parts and heavy millitary guard, the northern Irish people went on to be treated like shit as the south tried to resolve its internal political problems. In the 60's, another Irish uprising was born in the form of the IRAs bombing campaign. After terrorisng the brittish forces in Northern Ireland, again the Brittish allowed it to fall into chaos and lost complete control. This resulted in Bloody Sunday, when Brittish soldiers marched into an Irish estate and gunned down several innocent, unarmed irish people, including women and children, seemingly shooting at random and at those aiding the injured. Outraged, the Irish brought the bombin campaign to London where they caused chaos once more. The most notable and audacious boming was on the Brittish Government. The IRA bombed a hotel the entire Brittish government were staying in, unfortunatly, failing to kill their leader, maggie thatcher. For this, throughout the 80's and to a lesser extent, there is still racisim from brittish people towards the Irish for their assault on the UK. If they were educated enough, they would understand that this was a drop in the ocean compared to what they have done to the Irish over the last 600 years. It's only a matter of time before Northern Ireland comes back into Irish control as the Brittish government no longer really holds an interest in it as there has peace between our nations for 20 years. Some may hold contempt towards us, but we don't really give a shit, because we all hate them anyway, and we took our country back, so we really couldn't give a fuck what they do or think over there.

Land of poets, scholars, and gentlemen, quick-witted women with tongues like whips and quick-fisted men with spirits like fire. Birthplace of the greatest "British" writer to have ever lived: Oscar Wilde. Welly says that Ireland is located to the west of the most influential nation on Earth? What has Wales done that is so dang important, aside from likewise being utterly beautiful and amazing? Or are we talking about the Isle of Man?

Mwahaha, Ireland is teh gr33tz. But then again, so is the UK. Yes, I'm of Irish descent, yes, I family there, and yes, I've been there often. P.S.: As an American, any clever Irishman who tries to tell me that "Pog Mo Thon" is Gaelic for "hello" gets a ka-crack upside ze head.

Other then that, we're awesome :) Also without us, there'd be like...2 people in the USA today. Ireland will one day become an Empire in the same way that happened in Star Wars Episode 3.

Ignorant American: Hey, you're from the UK, aren't you? Irish person: Oh no, I'm from Ireland. Ignorant American: Yeah the UK\! Irish person: Ireland's not part of the UK.

On the outskirts of Europe in the Atlantic so dear There´s a country called old Ireland that looks like a teddy bear It´s an island that´s split in two - with a border in her head Her face and tail are all her own but her brains are foreign land So its here´s up the rebels get back our teddy´s head Her face and tail are all her own but her brains are foreign land. Her face is o'er in Donegal her brains are in Belfast Her arms outstreched in Galway for the friends that do go past Her hair is on the North Coast in Derry, Antrim, Down I am sure this head would be better off without the bloody crown Her Back Bone´s on the East Coast from Dublin to Dundalk Her legs and feet in Kerry they have shoes that never walked Her backside´s from Cork to Wexford her heart is in the Midlands We´re facing towards America with our ARSE\! to England So listen proud Brittania to what I say to you Would you like it if your head was owned by someone quite untrue And they planted foreign fleas to mix in with your breed Before another year had passed you´d never know your creed

Now the seas will not be silent, while Britannia grabs the waves And remember that the Irish will no longer be your slaves, And remember that Britannia, well, - she rules the waves no more So keep your hands off Rockall - it's Irish to the core. Ireland

A place where millions of fifth generation Irish college students associate their heritage with in order to justify their drinking and rowdiness. Also they use their "heritage" to explain why it is they can drink so much because everyone know the only way to increase your tolerance to alcohol is to be Irish and not by drinking more. The association between Americans who are 1/4 Irish with a country they have never visited and know nothing about is very similar to 5th generation Italians kids wearing John Gotti shirts and going on and on about their mothers hand made mannicotti in order to "embrace" their ethnicity. Get a clue and embrace something worthwhile such as the poets and artists that Ireland cultivated and not ale and binge drinking. At least get to know your culture and associate yourself with an Irish club in your town and bring pride to your people instead of being a shameless, sloppy drunk and then saying "Hey it's okay if i drink 10 beers a day, I'm Irish\!"

College Kid \#1 - "My grandfather is from Ireland that's why I can hold 20 beers and not be drunk\!" College kid \#2 - "Oh cool, you must have alot of pride in the beautiful language of Gailic. How do you feel about the struggle going on in your country right now?" College kid \#1 - " I don't know what you're talking about but let's play some Dropkick Murphy's and pick a fight with some dirty British faggot for trying to take over my country because I'm so Irish"\! College kid \#2 - "Why are you randomly speaking in an Irish accent?"

A beautiful warm, caring country. with gorgeous views everywhere you go. I've read alot of the definitions for 'Ireland'. & to be honest, most of them are 100% wrong. either people who don't know the first thing about Ireland add a definition, or some of the Irish people at their worst add one. don't be fooled by what you read here. We don't hate anyone. Not the USA, not the UK, no one. Obviously I can't say our whole nation doesn't hate anyone, people have their opinions. but most Irish people don't act like some of the things I've read here submitted by Irish people. At least no Irish person I've met does. I have actually been deeply offended by one or two definitions i've read here. Most of you have us Irish people all wrong\! There IS horrible people in Ireland. But isn' there horrible people everywhere nowadays? We don't go around eating 'spuds' and living in the backass of nowhere anymore\! we're normal civilised people. (at least most of us are) Ireland is a beautiful country and no words can describe how proud I am to be 100% Irish. Thanks for reading. :)

A beautiful, dark green island off of the coast of Britain which contains the following: * Cattle and god Irish beef * Sheep and good ole Irish wool * Roman Catholics * Award winning football teams * Hurling (an Irish sport a tad like lacrosse) * Catholics and Catholic churches * A historical industry of potato farming and proud, strong Irishmen * A modern industry in computer technology * An immortal history in alcohol * Catholics, Catholic priests, Catholic nuns * The world's most recognised Catholic Saint, Saint Patrick * A bitter history with Britain starting in the 1200s or so and continuing, possibly to this very day, including: * The Norman conquests * The Tudor reconquests and oppression * The rebellions and the Penal Laws * The Easter Rising of 1915 * Bloody Sunday 1971 * The Hunger Strike of 1981 * and all of the fighting, death, and protests made before, in between and after * Catholic politicians who want a completely free Ireland * Protestant politicians wanting Ireland to be in Union with Britain * Drunkies in the public houses who couldn't care less * Speaking of pubs, Guinness And did I mention they're 80 percent Catholic?

Ireland is the greenest country on Earth. Many a great person came from Ireland and spread the Irish spirit of hospitality, generosity, and humour to the shores of the nations. Truly, this country is a blessing to the world. And most of them are Catholic, too.

Most of us speak English so please don't try to talk down to us. 5. We are not all drunks (Well the kids aren't) 6. We do have a green countryside... We'd like to keep it that way. 7. The weather is almost never good here.. be sure to bring an umbrella\! 8.Only country with a holiday celebrated world-wide. 9. Home to amazing musicians and actors. (Roy7, The Script, The Cranberries, Colin Farrell,Pierce Brosnan , Saorsee Ronan etc.) 10.Ireland has been plagued by American and English sterotypes, such as the misconception that we are all drunkards, or that we all speak with a hugely fake Cork accent and say 'top o' the morning to ya, laddie' - I have lived here my entire life and not once have I heard an Irish person say that seriously. The fact that Americans 'imitate' us by say 'top o' the morning' is I think due to those stupid Lucky Charms adverts, and whoever wrote them should die a horrible death :) 11.

Ireland is one of the most beautiful, mystic, and messed up countries in the world. It rains a lot, but that just makes it more green and gorgeous. I have never seen a more beautiful sight than when I watched the sun go down, perched on some rocks on an obscure little beach near Dunfanaghy. It was pissing it down, but somehow it made it even more beautiful. Unfortunately because I was raised in London (born near Creeslough up in Donegal) and i go there every holiday I've been subject to a fair bit of prejudice. I can safely say that I have met some lovely Irish people who have only been nice. Unluckily some teenager heard me speaking to my mum and decided to spit on me and call me a 'pommie fucker'. I was 8. But I love it anyway. Growing up listening to my Granny telling me stories about Finn mac Cumhaill and his Fianna it was like I could touch the magic. I have no doubt, though I adore England, Ireland is the most magical place I have ever visited. The native language is Gaelic which is amazing when spoken. My granny tried and failed teaching me it, but I can read a few words.

England and Ireland should be friends.

A large island to the west of the UK (excluding Northern Ireland). Contrary to popular (largely ignorant American) opinion, the Irish do not sit around drinking and swearing all day, and if any of you so-called 'Irish-Americans' had ever been, you would know that. Ireland is a country rich in culture, particularly that of sean nos singing and storytelling- many children in Ireland, particularly in Meath and the surrounding counties, grow up with the old legends of the High Kings, the Fiana and giants, monsters and witches-this is evidence of the amazing Irish imagination and gift for story-telling. Ireland has been plagued by American and English sterotypes, such as the misconception that we are all drunkards, or that we all speak with a hugely fake Cork accent and say 'top o' the morning to ya, laddie' - I have lived here my entire life and not once have I heard an Irish person say that seriously.

A country where everyone is related to one another in some shape or form, as a result of mass emmigration and boredom (leading to over-enthusiastic reproduction and interbreeding). The mass emmigration also led to the larger percent of America to have some ancestor of Irish decent. Americans have some strange habit/obsession with pointing out this fact. On the bright side, it is a very friendly nation.

Ireland is a beautiful country. Whenever I have visited with my Granny (Who is Irish) people have been so friendly. I love visiting Dublin and seeing all the famous landmarks, including the guiness factory. There is also the 'Cockles and Mussels song (Also called the Molly Malone song)' which I have loved since I was a child.

Molly Malone / Cockles And Mussels Alive alive oh alive alive ohh Singing cockles and mussels alive alive ohhh In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty I once met a girl named sweet Molly Malone and she wheeled her wheel barrow through the streets broad and narrow singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh She was a fish monger and sure was no wonder so were her mother and father before and they wheeled their wheel barrow through the streets broad and narrow singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh She died of a fever and so one could save her and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone now her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad and narrow singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh Alive alive oh alive alive ohh Singing cockles and mussels alive alive ohhh One of Ireland's most famous folk songs\!\!

Ireland is a beautiful island nation west of GB and, luckily, very very far away from the chief oppressors America and Papua New Guinea. Us Irish are a friendly bunch who like the "craic." Our national sports, Gaelic football and Hurling are the greatest amateur sports in the world, a lot better than shitty lacrosse\! Many Americans think the Irish to be a rowdy shower of kamikazies who like to get slobbily shammered and run in front of tractors. You Americans are wrong. Contrary to popular belief, we are not all farmers and we don't all speak with "langer" of "jackeen" accents\!

American: "Howdy JohnJoe, you wanna have the "crack??" JohnJoe: No thanks yank, Im not QUEER\! GAA is better than lacrosse. Ireland is better than America in many varying ways.

Lovely green rainy island that is full of smart friendly people for the most part. Historically an oppressed and poor country, a large part of their economy was generated through tourism, as much of the island's population emmigrated to other countries over the decades. Very smart and witty population, well educated and known for their literature, music and humor. However, there are quite a few Irish who claim to know their history but don't. While they Yank bash they tend to forget that without US Irish American funds they never would have been able to fight their war of independence and form the Irish Republic, and the peace talks in the North would never have happened without US involvement. So without those Irish-Americans who you say aren't Irish (we don't claim to be - note that we say Irish American. Once Ireland starts having more immigrant offspring they'll begin to get the concept)Ireland would still be part of the UK. Your country was basically bought with US cash and guns, some Irish Americans even came over from the US to fight for it as well. Some would say the Irish are rather ignorant and ungrateful. But then I guess that it would be stereotyping to judge an entire country on a few yobs who hate Americans. Anyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Ireland is Irish. Treat immigrants well when they arrive in Ireland, remember that the Irish were taken in when they went to England, Australia and the US.

A country whose inhabitants are ridiculously sensitive about being stereotyped as drunken karaoke singers who like a good fight and who seeth in raging pits of anger whenever anyone English or American even mentions the word leprechaun or claims to have Irish ancestry. All that rage, despite the fact that millions of Brits and Yanks actually do descend from Ireland (and kept Ireland from total financial ruin by way of remittance payments) and thousands of Irish people in leprechaun costumes grace the streets of Dublin every Paddy's Day and inevitably sing Fields of Athenry and drink 20 pints of larger before getting in the fight with the dude who knocked into their bag of chips.

You're not Irish I'm Irish because only people who live in Ireland are Irish.... I know nothing about the concept of ethnicity or identity politics in New World countries because I webbed 6 jagerbombs last night, I'm so proud of myself.

Ireland is at the western-most edge of Europe, and a rather wonderful edge it is. Its people, along with the Americans and Asians have salvaged the English language as an artistic force. Unfortunately Ireland harbours a peculier condition whereby everything North American, regardless of its stupidity, is considered exceptionally '[grand]'. Coupled with this Ireland has a tendency for its less educated, yet more vocal 10% of the population to bleat nonsense about 'Black and Tans' and generally deride the English, this is regardless of the fact that during WW2, the joint would have become Hitler's private golfing resort without them. It is a site of: Unmatched art and culture Willful ignorance, hypocricy and begrudgery A technically perfect quasi-socialist Government High rural suicide rates Inflatable tri-colour hammers Heaney Yeats Shaw Friel Bogs Casual racism Cultural openness Challenging, maddening, gorgeous women Rampant alcoholism Men with square heads Ginger children People called Seamus Passports with harps on them Crap roads Introspection Bosco the puppet Stereotypically superior potatos

Ireland generally is confused, self-contradictory, flawed and possibly the most honestly human place on Earth because of it. Thank fuck for that...

A country with a national average IQ of ninety.

Reading the additions to "irish" and "ireland" on www.urbandictionary.com shows that the Irish clearly have an inferiority complex after centuries of systematic abuse and humiliation.

Got Rich thanks to EU money, But now they gotta pay up cause they are not the poorest country now that others have joined. They had a good run but looks likes it's time to pay the piper for this money grabbing Isle.

Ireland, You had to be born there to be Irish. I am talking to you "Irish" americans

Land full of people who for some reason or another seem to hate yanks. yet for all this hate, they seem to do nothing but talk about yanks. Hmmmm? Also, have become rich and lethargic, overun by immigrants, and bitch about their government. hmmm, sound familiar? Once full of intelligent people who have either 1) left and became Yanks or Aussie's, 2) died trying to create a free Ireland (and are rolling over at what a bunch of pussies it has produced) or, 3)drank themselves to death (yeah I've heard the stereotype isn't true, ha ha ha ha). chock full of wankas

Yank: "hello, yes my father grew up in that house over there and I am here to see why he left Ireland." Irish: "you stupid Yank, your not Irish, your a fat war mongering Yank, trying to take over the world. get outta my country." yank: "O.K....I got my answer, my father was right to leave Ireland and come to NY, what a bunch of pricks" Irish: "Oh, your from NY, go to (insert Pub name) and tell my brother Joe I said hi, you stupid wanka yanka." Yank: "oh he left too, huh?"

Ya know, the "americans are idiots" tirade is rather tiresome. Yep-lots of people don't know their geography or history very well, mud slinging doesn't help. I could just as well call the Irish a bunch of in-bred drunkards - you HAVE lived on an island for many generations, inbreeding HAD to occur at some time. And honestly, to us "stupid Americans" Ireland may as well be England from our perspective. Both countries are no bigger than some of our states\! Ignorant Europeans need to shut up just as much as ignorant Americans do when they talk about someplace they've never been. Most Europeans can't comprehend the scale of a SINGLE UNIFIED country the U.S. is. Where you must drive THREE THOUSAND MILES to cross the country coast-to-coast, and NEVER HAVE TO SHOW A PASSPORT. Plus the environmental variation is stunning, from the dreary, wet, but lush New England States, to the rolling plains of the midwest, the Mississippi river delta, the deserts of the SouthWest, the stunning Rocky Mountains, the dark-forested Cascades of the Northwest, and the absolutely perfect weather of Southern California, where you can water ski and snow ski in the SAME DAY. Americans have a REASON for being ignorant of the world: For 300 years they've been physically isolated from the rest of the world by two vast oceans. The land provided all the resources they needed for the first 200 years, and the thought of risking one's life to cross an ocean to risk one's life visiting unstable countries just didn't make sense, especially since it was also quite expensive. What excuse do Euopeans have for their ignorance? They've been physically close to all the strife of the last 200 years. What excuse do Europeans have for blaming individual Americans for the faults of the government? I can speak to this-every trip I've made to Europe I've been accosted/challenged AGGRESSIVELY about how "you Americans" screw things up. Last I checked, I had no influence on the foibles of our corrupt government, no more than Euopeans can control their corrupt, SOCIALIST governments. But *I* don't blame the people I meet-I recognize they are everyday Joes who just want to live their lives, like the rest of us. So get off your soapbox-us "stupid Americans" are tired of your whining. Once you can keep the bully in your own sandbox and stop having them come after us, then we'll stop messing in "your" affairs. WW 1, WW 2, both dragged the US into it, because you smart Europeans couldn't manage to get along. Personally I can't wait to visit Ireland and also Scotland-I'm a golfer and will love seeing it's home. I've heard it's all stunningly beautiful, but I hope the next Scot I meet is a bit more rational-the last one was an argumentative drunk. If I were to stereotype like others here- I would beleive he represented the typical Scot-a drunk arrogant bastard. See-that's what happens when you write divisive, stereotypical things-the blade can cut both ways.

Ireland: The Irish can't stop their bloody in-fighting, preferring to blame their problems on England.

The place where Lucky the Leprechaun is from. Place where Lucky grows marshmallows (hearts, stars, horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, pots of gold and rainbows and me red balloons). Place of other Leprechauns and four-leaf clovers. Where good luck is born and the funny accents. Where magic and rainbows and happiness is located. That island in Europe.

Ahh me Lucky Charms, they're magically delicious\! Get me pot of gold out of yer ass. (Kiss me\! I'm Irish\!)

One of the few respectable countries left in [Europe], Ireland suffered many years under the harsh rule of the evil [British]. However, by 1900's, the Irish were fed up and whooped their oppressors asses. The British government, being the fuckups that they are, divided Ireland into the Republic of Ireland and North Ireland ([Ulster]). Efforts from the fair and respectable Sinn Fein and other nationalist parties, to unite the island that is rightfully theirs, have been unsuccessful thanks to British vote "miscounting" and scare tactics.

Irish are often blamed for "harboring terrorists". However, the IRA is a freedom fighting organization who targets military more than civilian targets. British people, being the anti-American assholes they are, will always blame them getting their asses whooped by the IRA on the US because of rightful funds being sent to the IRA from businesses in Boston and New York.

ireland is very unique yet mixed TOO MANY times with the british, mostly by americans, because europeans know americans are stupid. ireland has a beatiful languange, yes, they have their own language, its called gaylic, ireland is very green, its weather changes every five minutes, no picnics there\! yes, many sheep, very beautiful, and it was probably the best part of the old united kingdom.
