Topology wise, it's really nice and green. Not too much of a fan of huge red and sandy areas.

On the seventh day the Lord rested, but before that he did, he squatted over the side of England and what came out of him... was Ireland

STOP SPEAKING ENGLISH

why are the french obsessed with Ireland?

Lived there 3 years

Ugly and stupid people
Shit weather
No culture
Expensive for no reason
Isolated
UK poor small cousin
Literally not much to do except drink on most of the weekends

Wow. That's harsh.

Seriously though, why is enthusiasm for Gaeilge in Ireland so low?
Why is your love for your language and country trumped by your hate for the inconvenience of learning the language?

Very green and cute

I'm familiar with, and enjoy, all of this stuff except I've never heard of coddle. Qu'est-ce que c'est?

So isolated and pure and well-preserved aside from the damage that Anglos caused, quite literally the most European country in Europe

I love my language. The reason many hate it is due to the teaching method and the overall lack of Irish in everyday life. Our main state broadcaster dedicates ~11 minutes a day for the news in Irish. We do however have an Irish only TV channel that shows boring documentaries about making shitey old crafts in Conamara (not something my generation would find interesting)
Personally i think more and more (younger) people are getting into it.
We've got these "pop-up Gaeltachts" that host Irish only nights in pubs throughout the country which are becoming crazy popular.

>look at flag

please don't compare yourselves with the Irish. I know it's hard for the frenchmen not to think of themselves as the epicenter of the universe, but trust me, you are not like the Irish.

>about making shitey old crafts in Conamara (not something my generation would find interesting)

leel, I caught that documentary on my way out of Ireland.

The description doesn't sound very appealing but I am willing to believe it tastes better than I'd expect.

lel, what, I would eat that anytime

When you are basically an anglo in the 21st century, gaelic heritage is more of a burden than an identity. Cultural romanticists that set up the first free state were so conservative and anti-british that they ended up crippling every single economic sector, all in the name of Irish cultural revival and preservation of heritage. Even in the fishing industry, even though we knew we had the best waters in Europe, the government refused to send proper trawlers and research vessels, because local fishermen in traditional "currach" boats who owned a little coastal farmland were considered to be "Irish heritage", but the fact that those fishermen lived hard and poor lives was ignored. Protectionism and self-sufficiency, the IRA, the agri-based economy, neglect of fisheries all boiled down to aggressive cultural preservation that was not taken seriously by the popupation, and in all fairness it brought a lot of suffering when compared to how easily one could just emigrate as an english speaker.

It was a go to dish in Dublin during the 50s-80s when everyone was poor. Some people make it shite and others make it 10/10.

that's Wales, which is an objectively better, linguistically and genetically more celtic land than Ireland

It's realistic. Stop believing the "everyone loves the Irish" meme

I wasn't implying that. We've got culture, tons of stuff to do rather than drinking.

Elaborate

Our island has to be the cutest fucking island. Just look at it.

>We've got culture, tons of stuff to do rather than drinking.
Yeah but other countries have way more things to do and usually more unique culture (ours isn't that distinct from the UK's realistically). Ireland failed, accept it. Hopefully we will be nuked out of our misery soon

what do the Irish think of their assimilated American cousins?

Not him but if that's true then why are virtually all Irish cities a no go zone for sober people after 10pm.
Don't kid yourself, people here drink like it's in their DNA, and they do it out of misery and insecurity.

>ours isn't that distinct from the UK's realistically

although they have tied you to their chariot culturally, it's good that you recognise it. Remember why the tsarki is in the middle of the Indian flag. Other than that, the irish managed to maintain their loveability in contrast to the uncivilised anglos, in general.

pompous and arrogant: you

funloving and compassionate: the irish

>they do it out of misery and insecurity.

if they did, it would show in their drunkenness

But people want to get shitfaced sometimes to have a good time. There is that.

Tá cuma gnéasach uirthi

> (ours isn't that distinct from the UK's realistically).
Can slightly agree with that desu, but we are distinct.
There are huge social issues not being addressed. Close to 1/5 (personally I think it's larger) people here suffer with mental health issues. Most of the lads from course left when we graduated because they just wanted to leave the country. No one here wants to address these issues, no one wants to fix them, and everyone would rather abandon ship.

He's not wrong in a sense lad

That's our biggest problem desu. Emigrants are always a massive national shame for their countries of origin and Ireland has a lot of them. Makes us look bad to the world

this is no different than a lot of European cities bro

those you describe are not national problems, they are global problems.

it's fucking mindboggling that you come from a people with one of the largest diasporas in history and you talk about immigrants that way. You should be ashamed, honestly.

yeah because we have a dumb populace that actually celebrates emigrants
the emigrant museum should be torn down

Oh that actually looks delicious. I guess I just didn't get the right idea from the post.

No, the diaspora should be ashamed. My ancestors stayed here like they were supposed to, I have nothing to be ashamed of

It absolutely is. Dublin at midnight is a disgrace comparing to other European cities, the nightlife is all about pissing on the street while locked on double digit cans of tesco lager, and there's multiple examples in every single street. Im not saying this is something alien to other cities, but the sheer volume and behaviour of human trash in our nightlife is so much more intense because that's the only time when people are truly free in this country.

>My ancestors stayed here like they were supposed to

You can't blame people for wanting to survive. Your ancestors managed to stay, maybe they wanted to leave but couldn't find the opportunity, maybe you're not telling us the full story. So many of your compatriots chose that fate, just like people arriving in Ireland for a better future. You should be thankful, immigrants rejuvenate communities and that is greatly needed in a scarcelypopulated land like Ireland. Imagine if you didn't have Phil Lynnot. You are innacurate and completely off course, reconsider your attitude.

For someone overtly "patriotic" you shit a lot on your fellow countrymen. Not surprising to me, all fascists aim for the subjugation of their peoples, starting with negative propaganda.

It seems nice and comfy, even the north looks comfy now and less like a part of the Balkans than got teleported into the British isles

I understand your point, but I think it's best not to exagerrate. Life can be difficult regardless of where you are, don't project your own insecurities onto society.

I had a layover in Dublin and the people were nice I guess. Then when I stopped talking to them these airport ladies started speaking Irish to eachother when I was standing right there.... obviously talking about me or something

I've never met an Irish person before, but I hope to. The accent is amazing, and I imagine there's a decent number of cute redheaded lasses there.

The videos I've seen where people were speaking Irish made it sound really neat. I'm not interested in learning it because it has no practical purpose for me, but I wish it did.

Coworkers that went to Ireland said the restauraunts all seemed to compete on serving the best chicken strips (and pay-for-them-separately dipping sauces?!). The candies that were brought back were pretty decent.

Is it really super foggy but vibrantly green? If so, I hope to visit someday.
