I think the post explains why the French liberals are considered so rude. Don't worry, I have no intention of visiting France. I would gladly return to Ireland. (They don't like the French much either, by the way.) Of course that characterization is not applicable to those in the countryside. In summary, the French apparently have no sense of humor. The Irish, on the other hand can laugh at themselves. Those of Irish decent in the U.S. can (and often do) hold dual citizenship. I've definitiely stopped buying or drinking French wines now. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

[> If you do return, here's questions you'd know the answer to if you were born and raised in Ireland: (1) What dry goods store is located in the Gap of Dunloe in Killarney? (2) What facility is located right next to the Irish National Stud Farms? -- SurveyGuy (I'd ask about Glendalough and which saint is associated with it, but everyone knows that), 19:14:05 04/14/03 Mon (pcp01422563pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net/68.81.153.209)
