And if the Irish had been smarter, they would have renamed it as
soon as they got rid of British rule.

Actually, the most important thing was *peace*. The infant Irish government
did not make any efforts to demonstrate their independance.

The British landowners didn't understand that the Irish only wanted peace.
Many of them(the British) sold their land after independance because they
thought that their land would be confiscated. History shows that they sold
cheap.

To this day, the Irish have not tried to exact revenge.

They *did* rename a heck of a lot of places.

Also, they wanted to start shooting at each other almost
immediately after the English left.

One of the things I admire about the Irish people is that
very few of them seem bitter about the past... and that
seems to have been the case even before the current era of
prosperity.

You haven't been listening to any Irish traditional music, apparently.

You are all too stupid to realise that the Virginia in Ireland
was named
*AFTER* the Virginia in the USA.



Wrong Donut! You are too pompous to realize that we all don't

Speak for yourself, Scoot. I love Ireland.

Of course you don't!

I just don't care about
Irishmen like Donal, who are so sanctimonious as to be a blight on his
country. Of course you find such people everywhere, not just Ireland.

Maxprop,
Your arrogance is extremely impressive.

The Irish don't go around bombing countries that they dissapprove of!!


Do you really think that the Irish are more sanctimonious than the
Americans?


I dissaprove of sanctimonious people because they are usually stupid, and
they allow their idiotic opinions to influence their views.

"are"???

The Fenians were last seen in the 1920's.

I don't know where you are getting your information from, but you can takr
it from me that the "Fenians" do not exist any more.
