Am I the only one that thinks Saint Patrick's days should only be celebrated by the Irish?
We know exactly why people over the pond celebrate it.. No, not because they had a great-great-great-great-great Irish cousin.. Because it's an excuse to get disgustingly drunk.
Do you seem them celebrate Saint Davids day? Saint Gorges Day, no celebrations on Saint Andrews day? No, because those holidays are a time to look back over your countries history and reflect on the good points and mourn the bad points.
I apologies to real Irish people, who celebrate their holiday however they want.
And to the aforementioned Americans and people all over the world.. Your not Irish, your American (or wherever).. You have enough national holidays already, don't bugger another countries national holiday as an excuse to get pissed.
