Hail glorious St. Patrick, dear saint of our isle 

I almost miss the hymns we sang in primary school.

My father's side of the family is supposedly 100% Irish.   I don't do anything at all to celebrate St. Patrick's usually.    My dad's family is Irish Catholic too haha.

why do you put that retarded laugh at the end of everything you write haha

I have to laugh at Catholicism in general, not just the Irish part of it.   I don't put "haha" at the end of everything I write, but I will try to do it more often if it really annoys you.   

It does mean something if your family is Irish Catholic in regards to St. Patrick's day, since it is a holiday based on Catholicism.    I think Catholics, their holidays and their traditions are "haha" if not "LOL" worthy.    The Catholic church is retarded.

the catholic churches tenets are based on lies. that does not make the people who follow the faith retarded by any means. just misinformed.

I was raised catholic so I can state these views. if you are not catholic, shut the fuck up

“May God grant you always…
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you.  Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you"

Don't get me wrong, fucking up the Brits and everything is great!   Irish terrorism ftw!   I do believe that Ireland should be unified but not under Catholicism, or Christianity even.  There are British Lords, Dukes, etc.  occupying Irish castles right now (Birr Castle Demesne is one of them).   The fact that there is an English Earl that lives in an Irish castle, should make it obvious that the Irish are still England's bitch.

The Anglican Church is a bigger joke than the Catholic Church and that is really saying something.

One of my great-grandparents had the family name "Bailey," but I think it would be drawing a long bow to claim Irish ancestry on the basis of that.

Do you know where these Baileys came from?

At that point I think they were living in Kent in the south of England, but where they might have come from before that is anybody's guess.

Maybe there is a way to trace them!

A lot of Catholics are retarded, though. This coming from a former one.
