The Irish monks kept the flame of Christ alive during the dark ages. Ireland has produced many outstanding champion athletes also poets, musicians and actors. I understand that the only potatoes you find exciting are not the roasted variety but the spuds of muscular men slapping your face as you masturbate furiously.
Your beloved and heroic St. Patrick was a POS bogtrotter. He burned the Druids' books and took part in atrocities and persecutions against non-Christians. Many would even call the acts as genocides. Ireland has contributed nothing to the betterment of the planet, and basically just takes up space. Look at other countries. You've got the Vatican, Mona Lisa, Eiffel Tower, and many other historic masterpieces.
What has Ireland given the world to earn their keep? Lucky Charms cereal, lowest rated vacations according to tourist surveys for 5 years straight, drunk people, and a potato famine.
Who would want to move to Ireland??? The weather is garbage, cities are disgusting/dirty, homes are moldy, crime is rampant, everyone who lives there moans about how horrible it is, worthless public transport, and anti-dog hatred.
Even your national hero Colin Farrell doesn't think highly of St. Patrick's Day:
"I don’t think there’s any reason to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, it’s just an excuse for people to get drunk and act foolish.” — Colin Farrell
The only good singers from Ireland are the Cranberries, Chieftains, and Sinead O Connor. That's only 3 total. Again, not enough to earn your keep.
