What does British culture have that Irish culture doesn't?

I admire their ability to brainwash an entire nation,the BBC and its biast nonsence that everyoNe sucks in, their ability to control Ireland's media even though they no longer control 4/5ths of the country.
This is a country that can actually pillage half the world and teach its citizens that it was something to be proud of because they used to whip the natives and force them to build railway tracks to their coasts so they could ship out all their natural resources.

Amazing.

Are those Irish people such as joel, Cael, Norfolk Enchants, muscailte and yourself, who somehow managed to avoid being brainwashed by the English, in some way more culturally sophisticated than the rest of the Irish nation?

Wouldn't Ireland be a great place altogether if it consisted solely of Republican cranks, obsessives and dimwits.

I think there are only a few humorous English! I think they nicked it all from Spike Milligan - like they nicked Pop music from the Irish! (Lonnie Donegan,Beatles, Dusty Springfield, Johnny Rotten, The Smiths, Oasis, etc.).

In fact, I think "English culture" is nicked from all over the world, "Its mine!"....

And how come Dublin has the most Nobel Prizewinners for Literature in the world?


So, its the Irish for original, abstract thought!

You forgot to mention Muhammed Ali, who's one of your old favourites.

Oh, and don't forget to mention yourself.

You're a great one for original, abstract thought. A veritable beacon of hope for the rest of humanity.
