I'm not sure, I'm not Irish but this is the first time I have heard of a genocide angle.

The protesters didn't seem to know whet they were talking about either, apparently.
He was basically a Catholic colonialist. His claim to fame is converting the Irish to Catholicism. I guess the argument would be that he extinguished their potato worship or whatever the Hell.

Yeah I kinda figured it was something like that.

He was actually a pre Anglo Saxon Romano Briton, which makes him one of mine ;)

St. Patrick died 1000 years before potatoes even made it to ireland. That's what confuses me about the potato famine. How fucking stupid do you have to be to die because there's a problem with a vegetable that's not even native to your country? Grow some carrots or something, you mouth-breathing retards.

The irish really are the negroes of europe.

Quite a few of my ancestors were irish.

the problem with the potato famine was the crop had a blight and rotted in the field . this happened right across the united kingdom. the irish had other food crops but the british confiscated them to feed themselves and left the irish to starve

Letting a bunch of limey dandies take your groceries is even more embarrassing.

No one has ever accused the Irish of being a smart people. There's a reason their national Hall of Fame is the size of a broom closet.
