Not to generalise
Paddy, talk about inciting...
You slag off a whole nation, and then pull back, to rather sensibly only slag off a whole city. Well done Paddy for recognising the inherant weakness in your argument that to categorise a whole nation would be most unwise, and it would be far better to be specific and simply categorise a whole city (approximate population 8 million). During my childhood my next door neighbour was Irish, and do you know that her daughter often had nits. What is it about the Irish (all 4 million of them) that have nits.
Actually, that is probably unfair, she was from Cork. What is it about those people from Cork and nits.
