Question

No i'm not a pisces.Don't much believe in astrology or star signs.

Answer 1

In my experience the Irish seem to be very family orientated, I go to Uni there and at the weekends absolutely everyone goes home, even if they need to take a 3 hr bus to get there. My friends in England say at their unis there's a wider mix of ppl from different regions and hardly any go home every weekend. People here also seem to have chosen their university based on how near it is to their home (so they can take their washing home and see their family and school friends at weekends) and how many of their friends also applied there. So I'd say the irish were very hometown orientated which can be frustrating because some don't see the point of travelling or understand the points of view of ppl from other places but I guess it's just part of the culture that people can't imagine moving too far from their families. It's not a stereotype because not everyone's like that but that's the main stand-out attitude I've noticed with alot of people.

But I've also noticed people are alot more friendly than in England, people will randomly chat to you on the bus or in the pub which is really nice.

Answer 2

I love the Irish and the Irish accent, but I'm baised as my Mother is Irish. Every time I visit her hometown the warm welcome that I recieve is lovely. The first time I went I was feeling a little shy and nervous but everyone was interested and friendly and I felt like it was my home. I love the Irish humour, the storytelling the countryside, and most of all the strong and spectacular women that seem to dominate the Irish side of my family.

Answer 3

The Irish are interesting. Some are brilliant, like Yeats and Wilde. Some are hateful, like the Irish-Americans who fought against school integration in Boston in the 1970's. I don't know much about Irish or Irish-American women, but Maeve Quinlan and Jennifer Connelly are hot!!!

Answer 4

The majority of Irish I have met are honest decent people that value friendhsip and respect their families. Pretty good qualities in my opinion.

I have met some criminal elements from Ireland that try to use intimidation etc.. However they tend to have respect for those that stand up to them. Its almost like if your stupid enough to let me bully you then its your own fault.

Only ever been to Dublin but I had a great time and the women there were very friendly and open. Seemed completely different to the silent bitchiness of many english girls. Their accent is well in all honesty really goddam sexy.

Answer 7

I would rather get to know any person before passing an opinion, though. I really try not to generalize. I do, sometimes, but I'm not perfect. Workin on that there!
