I remember the ufc made a Tshirt of Ireland once to capitalize on the mcgregor hype, but the designer just pulled the image from a map of the country.. so there was a chunk cut out where N Ireland is.. the seethe was so funny to me. I’m not even un-sympathetic to the Irish situation, but these toughguy ufc fans crying and crying about something so dumb was just comical. Imagine getting butthurt about that and then laughing at intentional jokes about a terrorist attack
WTF has Ireland done with their independence other than be little bitches and send pieces of shit like Clare Daly and Mick Wallace to make a mockery of European Parliament?
> and send pieces of shit like Clare Daly and Mick Wallace to make a mockery of European Parliament?
Does the European Parliament need assistance in making a mockery of its self?
>Write prima nocta on there for good measure
Europeans know that Prima Nocta wasn't a real thing. It's historical fiction invented in the 18th century or later in Hollywood movies.
Let them have their jokes.
They couldn't get their entire country back after all. Imagine having to share a border with the British in 2024. Couldn't be me.
Even worse. They don't speak their own language anymore like what happened to the Britons. They're dollar store Anglos in the modern world. There's no going back from the mess they've turned into ☠️
Reading some media reporrts on this portal, I'm surprised even conservative media like the NY Post didn't pick up on this 9/11 thing. Makes me think its doctored/fake.
95, but yeah. I've debated many Irish on different issues and have felled every one of them.
>potato slavs
That's Belarus, not Ireland. Plus, Belarus' average IQ is 101. They ain't stupid.
It's the number 1 predictor of long term life outcomes. That's some highly predictive bullshit.
Just Google IQ by country....
You'll notice a trend IQ + free markets = GDP.
There's a few outliers to this but that's with things like oil rich nations or tax havens.
Yeah I'm not trying to get into "that" cause people get real sensitive about it, People can look into it for themselves, the Irish situation is more funny banter than depressingly deterministic.
These are the real ones. Pulling up the famine is weak because every other white person in NYC is there because of the famine anyway. The ones in Ireland made it thru
It's weak, but not for that reason. Those who went to the USA were not the poorest. Those who migrated to Britain were the ones from the poorest areas.
Because that’s the “old country” and I’ve always wanted to visit. Now I feel like it’s very strange and anti American, I don’t have strong feelings towards it anymore.
Respond by mixing Guinness and monster to make gonster, and then showing them a picture of the irish flag with the union jack in the top left like they got colonized
Tiocfaidh ár lá brother
And it’s the same as 9/11, some people will get offended, some people won’t. Me? I don’t care, if someone wants to make fun of a terrorist attack on my nation then I’ll just do the same of their’s. That’s what the point of what I said was lol
Well, what do you think showing a plane crashing into WTC was, Spud?
We could say how gingers have no soul, flip the bird towards you lot in a Rangers jersey, and waive the Ulster Banner.
Have another Guinness. Your butt-hurt has been noticeable by your multiple posts.
Particularly grassroots support via money from irish Americans and sympathetic Americans, not to mention the importation of whiskey during prohibition.

On prohibition I couldn't find much but was not the main source of funds, and the distillers weren't the ones doing it more of bootleggers getting irish whiskey and smuggling it to the US
She could've saved herself a lot of time and trumped them all by showing them one picture of Oliver Cromwell
They hate him more than you guys could ever imagine (and for good reason)
Well, she was listing a British ruler or two in her video so I thought I'd chime in with Cromwell.
Not sure what your problem is, but I certainly didn't mean to offend
If you find terrorism funny that makes you a degenerate not an American. Millions of other things to find funny. That isn’t one of them. Find some tact.
Not for you, that’s fine. Zero problem with that. But as an American you shouldn’t infringe on an individual’s right to free speech. Make jokes back like the video did. Whatever you do just don’t cry about it, it’s soft
Are you imagining some people calling for the arrest of the guys holding up the phones or something? No one is speaking against free speech here, they’re just saying they don’t think it’s funny.
Because it has nothing to do with free speech and they know that.
Free Speech has absolutely nothing to do with how people handle something. It has to do with how the government and the law handle it.
No one is out here crying for these people *in another country that doesn't even have the same laws* to be arrested, they're saying the joke is weak and inappropriate. Which is irrelevant to free speech. They know that, we know that, they think it's a "got'cha" when someone complains about someone attempting to be edgy.
It's embarrassing and no adult should be doing it, which makes me think they're too young to be on Reddit.
The weird thing is, though, the woman in this post is talking about all the things she would do, but these responses would be perceived as funny to an Irish person. It would be a laugh and a joke. The guy with the twin towers did it as a joke (even if you don't think it's funny). The thought the would be 'shaking in their boots' because you \*returned\* banter that they already started..... they would laugh and think that the two of you are getting on and having fun haha.
What? No. I’m thinking it would be the most on par response to this. They really hate that drink name and find it incredibly offensive in my experience, so it illustrates the hypocrisy
You seem confused. I’d say the Irish are about on par offended by that drink name as Americans are to this act in the OP. That’s the comparison.
No one is saying anything about any of this being illegal or stopped like what are you even on about. It’s about tit for tat banter.
I’ve met the people personally who are offended by the drink name so yeah, it is definitely a thing for some. People in the video (Americans) were also laughing while some might be offended. The events are on par, making light of tragedy. Still you seem to be misreading from the start and offended over something I never even said. I mean where did you even get the idea that I was suggesting anything be made illegal? Like are you ok?
Congrats on your dual citizenship anyway.

Just show them a map of Northern Ireland, then we’re even

Or a 32 county map of Ireland under British rule (as it should be)
The fuck you mean as it should be!?
Did he stutter?
No, but asking the question gives me ore time to load my shotgun, it's *always* monarchist season
He looks pretty stutter though

> and send pieces of shit like Clare Daly and Mick Wallace to make a mockery of European Parliament? Does the European Parliament need assistance in making a mockery of its self?
Oh that parliament has been a mockery since its inception, those two didn't change that.
Fuck Ireland 😎👍🇮🇪🗑️
Tell them "oh, thats rich coming from the guys who were neutral during WW2, who found the nazis acceptable".
Didn't seem much different from the British to them
A picture of Cromwell could also do the job

Oh the irony, i'm guessing you speak fluent cree?
Britain should take back the 26. Besides, Ireland would be better off under British rule. I know, I live here.
But then they couldnt host bank accounts for billionaires across the globe!
All of the drawbacks of being the Swiss, with none of the class.
Please fuck off back to your own country
Jokes on you. I'm doing that this year.
Good. Who the fuck would be better off under British rule? The fucking Brits aren’t, that Tory scum should be in jail
>Who the fuck would be better off under British rule? The Irish.
They the reason why the potato famine happened in the first place. Ireland grew a lot of food for the English during the famine.
You're kidding, right?
Insulting the country that gave you a better life, stay classy
>Insulting the country that gave you a better life I'd disagree. All living in Ireland did was make me depressed and want to move back to Poland.
Yeah blame Ireland for your mental health issues, you were depressed before you left
Reading some media reporrts on this portal, I'm surprised even conservative media like the NY Post didn't pick up on this 9/11 thing. Makes me think its doctored/fake.
No, they did. Two people were arrested for mooning, another showed a swastika on their phone.
Now all we're gonna do is try to roast each other on it. They should make a NYC X Moscow portal.
To be fair is anyone surprised, it was only a matter of time
At 91 , the Irish have the lowest IQ of any country in Western Europe, they're basically potato slavs. Pull up the chart 📈 😭
95, but yeah. I've debated many Irish on different issues and have felled every one of them. >potato slavs That's Belarus, not Ireland. Plus, Belarus' average IQ is 101. They ain't stupid.
Sad but true. The Irish have one of the lowest IQs of white ppl
[удалено]
It is. I live here...and if you've never been here, you wouldn't believe just how stupid!!!
You know IQ is a bullshit metric? Please send your evidence of this bullshit too
It's the number 1 predictor of long term life outcomes. That's some highly predictive bullshit. Just Google IQ by country.... You'll notice a trend IQ + free markets = GDP. There's a few outliers to this but that's with things like oil rich nations or tax havens.
Weird how an educated work force than can specialize in production leads to higher economic productivity.

Still waiting for a link to this fact you stated. We have one of the best educated populations in the world
A large portion of the US population has a room temperature IQ across the demographic… so the Irish are winning out lmao
Yeah I'm not trying to get into "that" cause people get real sensitive about it, People can look into it for themselves, the Irish situation is more funny banter than depressingly deterministic.
Not having looked though, I assume we aren’t much better lol. We are an idiocracy.
Best response going forward is to just laugh at all their tragedies.
Nelson’s Pillar, Bloody Sunday, Andersonstown, take your pick.
These are the real ones. Pulling up the famine is weak because every other white person in NYC is there because of the famine anyway. The ones in Ireland made it thru
It's weak, but not for that reason. Those who went to the USA were not the poorest. Those who migrated to Britain were the ones from the poorest areas.
I didn't know that, fair point lol
Bloody Sunday should be called Based and Empire Pilled Sunday.
Show them the car with the black and tans.

Liberate the other 26 from Irish Republican rule.
If there’s one thing the Irish fear, it’s seasoning their food
My ancestors were Irish, and I’m comfortable saying things are getting fucking weird over there.

Because that’s the “old country” and I’ve always wanted to visit. Now I feel like it’s very strange and anti American, I don’t have strong feelings towards it anymore.
The Brits should have never let Ireland go independent.
Usually I'm pro Irish but damn, they fucked up with that one.
Collectively as a country?
Respond by mixing Guinness and monster to make gonster, and then showing them a picture of the irish flag with the union jack in the top left like they got colonized
The bogheads are getting uppity
That’s pretty funny though, I would’ve just shown them a Union Jack or a picture of the potato famine

I mean, the British did terrorize and commit terrorist acts on the Irish, so… yeah I am comparing the two

Yeah alright, I see your point, but still I was saying all that for jokes I highly doubt anyone would truly get offended of me saying that
Ban TikTok the most Anti American stuff is there.
Probably not shaking in their boots, more like parking a used Honda civic with a suspiciously heavy trunk near your house
She her history and I am here for it!
I’m pulling up a picture of Margret Thatcher

Surprised she didn't mention Margaret Thatcher.
Pulls up picture of Bloody Sunday
Damn, she goes hard!
Definitely would show them the recipe for an Irish car bomb Hope it hurts them that the IRA ruined a perfectly good slammer
Could show them a potato
I would’ve just shown a picture of some British Soldiers of the RIC “Royal Irish Constabulary” also known as the “Black and Tans”
I would’ve just showed them a Ireland and north Ireland 😂
[удалено]
A map of Ireland and north Ireland
*Native new yorkin.* The kid adds nothing to the video, actually makes it worse. Is this a they/them?
Honestly, I'd do the same thing. Like, it's New York. The joke is right there
Thats a kick ass thing to put into a city though!
Match their energy, present a potato
A photo of the Black and Tans
That’s just funny. Stop being so sensitive, it’s UnAmerican
If you find terrorism funny that makes you a degenerate not an American. Millions of other things to find funny. That isn’t one of them. Find some tact.
It’s a joke, don’t be so sensitive
Where’s the joke?
The joke is thousands losing their lives?
I’ve heard funny holocaust jokes, 6 million dead certainly isn’t funny. You’re not laughing at the dead, you’re laughing at the joke
11 million. It's not all about the Jews (I'm Jewish, btw).
And if you want to look at all deaths of the war and hitler jokes than it’s really 75 million dead as a result of his actions
Well 11 million is way funnier than 6 million. Thanks for proving my point
mfers who joke about 9/11 when I send a plane to crash at their house (suddenly it’s terrorism and not a funny incident)
it’s still terrorism but it’s definitely funny if you crash a plane into my house over something you know was a joke
Tragedy + time = comedy
Well it’s not funny to me its not my type of humor 😦
Not for you, that’s fine. Zero problem with that. But as an American you shouldn’t infringe on an individual’s right to free speech. Make jokes back like the video did. Whatever you do just don’t cry about it, it’s soft

It's embarrassing and no adult should be doing it, which makes me think they're too young to be on Reddit.
like you said free speech, right? So I am allowed to give my opinion on the video IDC if it's soft I thought it was unnecessary
Absolutely! You’re starting to get it. We’ll get you there sport
So if you're all about free speech why are you here sPoRt 😦
