What is so great about being Irish?

Location: Kincora

This is a real question. I bet when you saw the title your adrenalin went up a bit and perhaps you got a little pissed off at the question. Well...GOOD! Did you get your Irish up?? Oh, if you did I better watch out because we know what happens when the Irish is up! A good fight! Laughing

This is not about fighthing although the Irish do like to fight. And drink. And fight. But...what else makes the Irish so great?

I have a lot of Irish blood in me along with some Scots, a lot of Cheerokee Indian, since my grandmother was 50% Cheerokee.

I've traced my Irish ancestors back to Ireland and beyond there to the Mary Queen of Scots, well we all know she lost her head, should that be my fate? Laughing

Thanks to a wonderful woman geneologist who I happened to be related to, she spent her entire adult life researching in Scotland and Ireland and in the U.S. our family history. I'm a mutt and I have the genes of some great ancestors, the blood that runs through my veins. It is a genetic code perhaps helps form the way I am. The of course enviornment we grow up in as in family forms who we are as well.

So, we are all proud of our heritage which by the way....I doubt you can find one Irish person that is 100% Irish! There is a mix in the blood from somewhere down the line.

Ok, answer the question. What is so great about being Irish to you? Do you know all of your bloodlines? Have you looked into it?

Do you give a shite? What is good about being Irish and what is not good about being Irish?

Is being Irish just part of the tales of Ireland? Stories, tales, are the Irish better than any other nationality?

Go on.....give it some thought. What's so great about being Irish?
