Is it normal to hate the British?

People enjoy hating because it gives them purpose and meaning in life and draws attention away from their own setbacks and shortcomings. Take a look at all the haters in the world and they share a common bond, it's called paranoia and relishing the role of victim.

Why not hate when it puts blame on others and frees us of responsibility. When you grow up, have responsibilities, your focus will be on your life and the hate will subside and eventually go away. Life works that way.

I've a number of things to say to you.

First I'm Irish myself (born and raised in Ireland), so I understand your mentality; though I do not ascribe to it.

Most important to note is that Catholics are not an ethnic group or race - therefore it is impossible to be racist towards them. You obviously mean religious prejudice (or bigotry). The fact that the majority of Irish citizens are Catholic is merely incidental.
What was done by the English was done a long time ago. You really must have a hard neck to keep up that kind of hatred. Times change and people move on.

As for Americans...that is one of my pet hates. I would imagine they see the romanticised image or Ireland and, wanting to attach themselves to that, claim this status of being 'Irish-American'.

Hehe wanabe irish. Thats fresh.

you sound like you hate everybody.if you are a hater then you hate regardless of the reason(or lack thereof).

It's a shame the English were such cunts to you way back when, as you're obviously so good at being cunts to yourselves without our help. I think the English have got more cause to be pissed off with the Irish for indiscriminately slaughtering innocents in our towns and cities more recently, but I suppose that would come under 'reap what you sow'. You're right about the Yanks though, I'm not even Irish and it pisses me off.

HAHA yeah ill start it out with this, I hate the irish wanna bees here in the u.s I know if they went to ireland with those 4 leaf clover tatoos they would probly get beat up. They are Americans and I dont know why they cant just embrace that like all the other people have. The English treated the Irish like shit for years and you have every right to hate them. Its ok to hate if you got a real reason to hate so keep up the good work.

Its not Englands fault the IRA were a bunch of useless pussies that would have trouble blowing up a baloon. How smart were blowing up Manchester shopping centre on the wekkend when noone was there. People dont like Muslims but at least they know how to blow shit up. If yous were better at it you might have independance now dumb potatoe farmers

i like the english. i'm part english/scottish.

get a life you irish bogtrotting gypsy fcuk. I'm from England and i have an Irish surname..i don't claim to be Irish because they're a bunch of potato thieves who drink alcohol like we drink tea..Thats why they're all so fcukin dumb..I hate the Irish as much as i hate some English but you make it sound like every English citizen is bad..i think you have a chip on your shoulder...why the fcuk do you live in England if you hate the people so much ? Go and buy a caravan and join the gypos at the circus..u tw@t.

AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT GO AND SELL SOME PEGS AND DO SOME CLOTHES LINE THIEVING...STUPID FCUKIN TINKER.

Though by the same logic about the "irish wannabes" black people who celelbrate quanza would be in the wrong by being "african wannabes."

Anyway calling someone who is proud of their heritage a wannabe is kind of... stupid, to put it lightly.

Maybe when the irish first came here they had to band together and show their pride but now they are blended into every other european culture so the fact that they keep it going to me just makes them look stupid and they would be made fun of back in ireland if they ever wanted to go back and show off their tatoos with their american accent.

Man you pricks that come on here flaming piss me off, and in response to the Catholics were not persecuted, the Irish Catholics were i guess would be more specific, you do know probably, a lot of places in the early 20th century in England had signs saying no black, no irish (as in catholics) so you cannot say they were not persecuted,
and in response to you guys talking about us blowing up towns, two words
Bloody Sunday

stargirl, i am sorry u feel that way, but that is just how i feel about the way britain has treated us over the centuries, and nearly every1 hates america so i not that different, i can appreciate that it wasnt all of england that did this to us, so i am sorry for those britons who feel outraged by this,

Yeap, hate only generates hate, is a vicious cicle, and youre on it.

Also, stereotyping is the same as ignorance.

uh yeah, adult right... anyway how can you be proud of your heritage when you dont know the half of it, i have met Americans, and personally i wish i hadn't, a third of your country is obese for fucks sake and you think you can go around lecturing me? I dont hate everyone, it is most Americans that are racist bastards actually, i think this may have degenerated into saying how much people hate America now but so what? the British are okay i guess, but you are a bunch of wannabes whose country will one day tear itself apart due to all the corruption and hypocrisy of it all.

lol, i like the way you took this whole thing seriously, sigh.. well yeah i 15 i just got bored of moving to countryside since i moved out of london so i just go on forums flaming, u have no idea how bored i am, well.. did i mention i was bored? most of the stuff i said isnt true but i am irish and i am not too much in love with wannabe irish americans.
x x x
lol

Yeah, every fucker hates us cos we conquered a quarter of the globe. But at least we didn't gas six million Jews like the Germans, and we don't eat frogs like the French.

Thank you stargirl...i'm sick of everyone hating americans. we're just like the rest of the world except for our republican government. 49% of the USA agrees with 99% of the rest of the world.

AAAHAHAHAHH god bless the liberals of 1906-1911, HomeRule never meant shit!!! And Ulster is a prime example of how the English screwed you over by having a bunch of protestant rich people practically running your country! aaaaahahahahah.


However, this happened ages ago, so get over it you uptight shitwad. Most people have got over the germans and the war, and thats happened twice, so just get over the fact that your a little leprocaun and you cant find your gold. So sit back and have another sip of guiness ya baaastard! Blarney

Perfectly normal to hate the British, if your Irish that is. If some evil fuckers invaded Ireland tomorrow though, I wonder how long it would be before the Irish called number 10 Downing Street for a hand?? About 4 seconds.

I hate people who celebrate their heritage. Peroid.

Hey fienian

Fuck you and fuck the IRA hand of hulster rules!!!!!
I wish when you lot fled to the US you stayed there!!!
NOW FOCKING DIE!!!!!!!

fuck you irish cunt.
there aint nothing wrong with british people...
they will bang you irish basturds out

i hate Irish peepz more than beige

you are british you fool. Do you mean hate the english ?

If your scottish than sure the english actaully have no idea how much the scottish hate them there is simply alot of history there

The state of Northern Ireland has no right to exist.
You Irish need to kick those britons back to where they came from and then take revenge in one way or the other for their past crimes against you.
What they did to you they also did to half the planet though, and much worse than that actually.

So yeah it's normal to hate the british.
Especially if you are educated in history.

Don't you have a terribly empty feeling - in your skull?

Most of the native Americans are already dead.
In Ireland there are way more Irish people than there are British.

So there's no double standard here.


and lfc, whom are you talking to?

The is a difference.
What went on in America was a 270 year long holocaust whereas the Irish were just getting completely screwed over.
They continued to live.

The fact that most of the native americans are dead doesn't give any right.
But it's just quite impossible to give anything back to people that are already dead.

I'm Icelandic, Icelanders are roughly 25% Irish and 75% Norwegian by descent.

And even if I were British then that wouldn't change anything.

I'm not accusing anyone for this, it happened so long ago.
But i have a really easy time understanding the Irish bitterness about the British invasion.

And the German bitterness after ww1, and the Palestinians, and the Africans, and the native americans, and the aboriginees of australia, and the chinese in 19th century.

nobe, the British invaded Iceland.

And yes, Icelaners are descended from Irish women and Norwegian men.
We took the hot ones.

It is all explained here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6XAETjdjQU

They say England but it really is Ireland.

nobe, we were neutral.

Your knowledge is wrong.
Iceland got invaded in april 1940.
And so did Germany later on.

I was saying they should be kicked back to where they came from.

And even in a unification, there would be no reason to subsidize the northern part of the country.

regardless of the circumstances... England invaded Germany, so the statement that England invaded no country in ww2 is false.

Itīs really simple, you put them on a boat and ship them back.

ENGLAND---The country that for all it`s faults ,past and present is the very reason all of you on here and other forums can shout and critisise as much as you want without fear of being taken away in the middle of the night and never seen again.In the last few years i have visited ireland,scotland wales and the us(new york),in dublin we were told of the way the english treated them during the potato famine,in scotland they go on about the way the english maltreated them and even in new york on a tour we were told of the way the english were cruel to the then residents of manhatten island(the dutch) now i`m not saying any of this did`nt happen but for gods sake consign it to history and look forward to the future,the english really are a generous and careing people --- nothing like we were hundreds of years ago,and if you do keep looking back you will find there is`nt a nation on earth that has`nt committed some crime against humanity---so remember the past but live in the future and rid yourselves of all that hatred ,you`ll be surprised how much happier you`ll be.

Is it Normal to hate the British?

Have you ever lived there? - I have! Godforsaken, pissant wretched little island!!! (and those are the Good Ajectives I could use!)

I think I would prefer to set up house in a suburb of HELL before going back to that miserable rock! - Where to begin... Well, crime is rampant because no one controls kids. You see nine yr olds in counsal estates thrown rocks at firemen and robbing elderly at knifepoint.

Damned near EVERYTHING closes at 5:00pm (I lived in a little Cesspool called Southport and after 5:00 the place is like a ghosttown)

The only thing that IS open at night are bars (pubs) because British people like to drink in excess (I can't fault them for this: If I were British, I would drink myself blind every night to try and forget about it myself.

How to REALLY explain the place? Okay, imagine this. You are standing in an outdoor buffet line, the person in front of you in the food line is picking (alternatively) their nose and their ass, spitting on the sidewalk, passing wet gas, swilling beer and spilling half of it, and blowing snot out of one nostral.

This is NOT the typical behavior of most British. (I want to be clear)

THIS is the behavior of pristine, elderly, christ-like British NUNS! - The General population is much, much worse!

Britian has never been invaded, taken over by another country? It might be because nobody in their right mind would Want it!

NEVER so GLAD to be HOME!

Tobra - Still trying to get the smell out!
