He's way too creepy for the States. And first. Bitches.

So no whe's targeting drunken Irish children, I guess he figures he'll get lucky..............

If it's anything like Magic Mountain, I'll totally go

charms...

http://www.wampoon.com

well now that you mention it.. put that cracker in a wig and a little green outfit and by damned he is the LUCKY CHARMS MAGICALLY DELICIOUS MAN.. so now we all know what mj was aspiring towards with his years and years of replastification..

No way can he ruin that beautiful country-kick his ass out Ireland

Thank you for purging my system of boneriffic tendencies directly stemming from pictures of J-Simp's and Scar-Jo's very large boobers, by providing a single picture of MJ.

He is so disgusting - as a black man or a white woman - that I will not have an erection for at least 15 minutes or more.

If he builds it, will they come?

P.S. Brand new 'Earl' & 'Office' tonight.

He's always been after my lucky charms. Orange Hearts, Green Clovers, Yellow Stars, Blue Moons and Young Children.

You one-gloved, child molesting son of a bitch. I know where you should move to: hell.

Brain - Yeah "they" will come. If by "they" you mean young Irish boys.

I happen to be half Irish, and I can say for certain that Michael Jackson is welcome to gently push a giant leprechaun up my big wide white pockmarked boil enfestered bungpocket. Just thought I would share that with you all. -- Horseonovich

Could be worse he could have gone cuckoo for Coco puffs. (again)

Leave Ireland alone, you freak!!

To the people of Ireland:

Tell your young male children to hide their "Blarney stones"

Dammit Stallion, I was about to make a kissing the Blarney stone reference and you went and fucked it up.

Actually, your comment was better.

"one newspaper there has set up a Wacko Watch Hotline for readers to phone in sightings."

Now THAT is funny.

I wouldn't be surprised if that "man" turned into a monkey. I mean more so than he already is. "Freak" is such an understatement, I just punched myself in the face for using that in reference to MJ.

Please excuse all the Brit-Twit air-quotes, but in some cases, they simply must be used.

Are there any Catholics here? What's the first step in the process required to declare Jackson a saint? Is it death? Is it too early to start the lobbying campaign?

He should get the "Where's me gold"? dude from the Leprechaun movies for the haunted house. Scary.

And Jennifer Aniston, if she'll agree to have her original nose put back in. Scarier.

Again -- the infatuation with small people and this guy.

Ireland is like the last country on the earth that doesn't hate the US -- now this sick fuck is gonna ruin it. Yeah, a theme park in Ireland with Leprechauns and Irish lore as it's theme. The Irish will fucking flock to it. Because, hey, they live in Ireland.....it's not like they don't have a zillion little reminders everywhere about IRISH CULTURE AND FOLKLORE IN IRELAND!

Here's one for you Stallion.

If you put little wings, and a multi stitched balero jacket on him and do his hair up right, he'd be a dead ringer for a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz.

He was sodomized in his sleep by evil leprechauns and now can't get them out of his mind.

stay out of my homeland you fucking freak! i know the irish and they will not be welcoming to him like they are to others. or they will just make up really funny jokes about him

His next big idea is to have a theme park in Atlantic City with the theme being casinos, the beach and the boardwalk, because it's not like we don't have the real things right IN Atlantic City. We need a theme park about it for people to experience these things.

I can't wait til he dies.

I don't like his idea....Not ONE bit!

Wait....what happened to Dubai? Whatever. Look, the news must be really slow crossing the pond - he molests children guys! It's ok to be mean to him. He is not the one gloved wonder anymore, much to all of our disappointment.

"Oh Danny boy,
my pipe, my pipe, is calling..."

@19 Nice, he look's like that shit without the costume...........

jrzmommy: "Ireland is like the last country on the earth that doesn't hate the US"

Try again! As long as you keep voting in mindless fundamentalist bible-bashing corporate-whoring environment-desstroying warmongering presidents we'll keep on keeping you at a healthy arm's length (apart from when you're spending your tourist dollars here - we love them) and ridiculing your nation at every available opportunity.

Said tourist dollars also mean that MJ's keerazee plan might not be so crazy after all. Like the rest of the plastic-paddy-where's-me-shillelagh-oho-me-father-was-one-of-the-little-people industry that panders to Irish American tourist fantasies, that theme park will make a mint. Most sensible thing he will have done in years.

When I was Ireland a few summers ago, I found out 5 things I didn't know:

1 - The Irish hate fucking constant leprechaun references (especially by Americans), unless they're making them.
2 - You get screwed like a 10 year old at Neverland on the Euro (monopoly money)/ US (real money) exchange.
3 - A Guiness themed park would make a heck of a lot more sense, but they already have one of those. It's called, well, Ireland.
4 - There are no fucking ATMs in the village of Rathmullan on the shores of Lough Swilly in North Donegal. You have to travel 30 minutes, driving on the wrong side in a car the size of my trunk, to get your play money.
5 - Herds of sheep can in fact legally be considered traffic.

Please do not threaten cross-Atlantic relations. Allow this alabaster Black man to only molest the youth of Qatar. Thank you.

#28 - I, of course, never actually WAS Ireland. I did visit and still giggle every time I say Gaelic...

#28 - cheers to you, brother.

A word of advice to Jacko - stay away from Ireland. They don't need anymore bad mojo there... Don't you think the potato famine was enough? The country is getting along amazingly well these days and they don't want you there.

Besides, if you begin molesting boys in that country, the Irish can’t be bought off. They’ll hunt your vitiligo ass down. It’ll be like a scene out of Frankenstein – only really pissed (drunk for you Yanks).

27--"You?" Hey, I didn't vote for him.....neither did most Americans. He won the electoral vote, but not the popular vote, so go ahead and keep on hating the American people for the actions of a very limited few in the political class. Do you hate all the Sudanese because it's government butchers people? Betcha don't. But that's what your fucked up reasoning would require you to do, unless of course it's a double-standard you hold only Americans to and you think a government-mandated and supported genocide of it's own people is acceptable. Which is it -- do you hate all the people of a nation based on the actions of it's politicians, or just all Americans and you use the actions of our president to hate an entire nation? Either way you're an ignorant fuck.

I also love ignorant fucks like yourself who will say shit about Americans but you'll still take our American dollars. That's called being a whore and unprincipled.

Your rationale and your blanket statements about my country suck and I think you're a grade A asshole.

#27 - More Irish visit this cesspool you so loathe than Americans visit your EU financed revival of an island, though I did thoroughly enjoy my stay and plan to return.

And I forgot point #6: All attractive women in Dublin are tourists.

trailblazer: "As long as you keep voting in mindless fundamentalist bible-bashing corporate-whoring environment-desstroying warmongering presidents we'll keep on keeping you at a healthy arm's length"

And there was I thinking for a moment that you were talking about that President of yours Charlie Haughey, God rest his soul...

Wacko should team up with Frank McCourt and have a section of the theme park based on Angela's Ashes....that would be fun for the whole family right there.

@27 - It's called Nation Envy and it's practiced a lot by the jealous eurotrash that post on this site. I won't even bash your leaders because they are so insignificant I don't know who they are. America has given the world a fully realized democracy, preserved freedom from tyranny in two world wars, currently is leading the world in a war against a genocidal theology, and whose free market, capitalist system spawned the majority of technological advances over the past 100 years. Mommy's automobile that drives you around town? You wouldn't be able to afford it were it not for Henry Ford's invention of the production line. That tele you get you disinformation from so that you can feed you hatred of all things American? Invented or perfected, just like the light bulb, motion picture camera, telegraph, radio, et al, in America. Those latest techno gadgets? DVD, Blu-Ray, Hi-Def, i-Pod, computer - you know, the shit that makes the world livable and BETTER? All designed and conceived by Americans (the Japs just mass produce the original concepts). The very internet on which you spew your ill-formed opinions - initially funded by the US Department of Defense. So hate on, world. Criticize us and our duly elected leaders. We'll save your ass yet again when the muslim masses threaten your very existence. What's France up to? A 20% muslim population? Good luck. In closing, Ireland's contribution to the world is Guinness and Enya. Keep hating, we'll ensure you're free to do so. And on second thought, go Michael! Give those pasty, Lohan-freckled, brogue-owning gingers a real reason to dislike the good, old US.

35--"In closing, Ireland's contribution to the world is Guinness and Enya" And U2....when Bono isn't under the impression that he's God.

Why doesn't he build a park in Bangkok or the Phillipines where his kind of sicko-pedo-fag shit is acceptable? Maybe he only likes white boy balls, the rascist.

jrzmommy, go take your valium like good useless housewife and realize thats not what he was saying. he is right, the irish hate this goverment, but the people love americans, msotly bc they all have relatives over here. luckily, most of the americans that visit ireland didnt vote for bush b/c those people are too poor and busy in church and doing other biblethumping activities to go anywhere cool outside their horrendous incestuous southern crap town.

unwashedmasses-you are thefucking ignorant moron. go lick bush's ass or whatever the fuck you do with your time.irelands economy is doing alot better then ours, and if you had ANY IDEA whatsoever what you were talking about, you would know democracy was started in europe. but you are obviously such an idiot, why would i expect you to know that?jesus go take a history class and shut the fuck up

I voted for Bush because the alternative was too fucking scary.

Katie, what European nation began as a democracy?

38-- He uses the words YOU and YOU'RE and Irish AMERICAN...What the fuck do you think he's saying?
who the fuck else do you think he means? The fucking Tahitians? The good people of Mars? No you dumb cunt......he means the AMERICANS. If you're going to try to come on all as all balls and insult someone, at least master reading comprehension. You're a complete moron and you make me sick. I see Ireland has itself yet ANOTHER fucking rocket scientist on its hands in the form of Katie.

magna carta is considered to be the beginnings of democracy. and of course non started as one bc europe has like, a history and culture which american completely lacks but the concept started there.we refined it, but if any of you people think we actually live in a democracy in american you are sadly fooling yourselfs

Katie--why do you keep saying, "We?" Are you American? Or are you another unprincipled whore who comes to America to make money? Either way, why don't you get the fuck out, bitch...America doesn't want you.

I am american you fucking moron. the Irish, and other european countries, often dont need to come here anymore bc, if you noticed, the euro is much more valuable then the dollar. and you can also live in a country, love it, and hate the goverment and who runs it. but clearly, you missed the whole "not everything is black and white" class. perhaps you took the "george bush's version of patriotism for dummies". or maybe even your brain has gone to mush because you are too busy changing diapers all day and speaking in babytalk.

I think Katie may be confused. Democracy's origins are in the butt-plugging days of Greece and Rome, not in 1215. Easy mistake. Don't worry, I'm happy to give you the ol' Irish Fuck: that's where we get drunk, I get you naked, beat the shit out of you, then wack off on your unconcious face. I learned that little trick in Crawford.

@katie - How I love self-loathing Americans. You're probably a big Barbra Streisand fan and masturbate to a threesome with Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin. As for Ireland having a better economy than the US - I'm sure you're correct. It probably isn't hard to manage such an economy when it is less of an economy than many US states. The states of Texas, California, New York, etc. all have greater economies than the Emerald Isle. Also, it is easy to maintain an economy when your chief exports are beer and music. What is Ireland's military expenditures? How much does Ireland contribute to fighting world poverty, terrorism, disease, and disaster relief? You are the moron, Katie. Hate to break it to you, but you make it quite obvious. Let me give you a hint, don't resort to foul language and insults when you are trying to form a cogent argument. It's what the Left does because their arguments fail to stand up to the light of reason. But go on hating America, it's your right to do so.

Katie, Katie, Katie. You should run for public office. Perhaps you should try to change the government you abhor so much.

By the way, the United States is a REPUBLIC. Not a democracy.

"europe has like, a history and culture which american completely lacks"

1. Nice placement of the word "like." Like, that sentence just would have been nonfunctional without it. Moron.
2. Yes, Europe has a LONGER history and longer-developed culture. But just because the US's culture is not based on some glorified version of the past, where everything was pretty and ornate and everyone listened to classical music, doesn't mean it doesn't have a history and a culture. It doesn't IN YOUR MIND because you are too shallow to recognize it. Indeed, the US has a short but incredibly complex/amazing history.

44--If you're American then Ireland isn't your homeland, bimbo. America is. (#21 "stay out of my homeland")

Don't tell me--you're a political science major.

I don't change diapers and speak babytalk all day anymore, but thanks so much for belittling stay-at-home-moms everywhere. They really appreciate it when high-and mighty cocksuckers --like yourself -- demean what they do. With chicks like you, women don't need mysoginist males.

Do yourself a favor skumbag and shut up....you're making a jackass out of yourself.

I just want to step in here to say, when you're done reading this rhetoric, stop by my site "Cock-Ninjas Land O'Fun and Fat Buttered Women".

http://www.cock-ninja.blogspot.com/

You won't be disappointed.

By the way, Katie, brush up on your history. Certainly the Magna Carta influenced certain aspects of our constitution and individual state constitutions, however, in a very limited way. The document was drafted in the early 1200s, because of long running disputes between the reigning pope and England's king.

@50 - Promotional comments may be removed.

They never have been, but goddamn it, they MAY be!

@50

I love saying COCK. Makes me all tingly inside. And outside.

And hungry.

Eurotrash (and their wannabes): bringing the American Left and Right together on the Fish. Good times man, good times.

Michael is only going to Ireland to save money on "Jesus juice". It's the one place where the kids will show up to his sleepovers already drunk.

Why do I have this sinking feeling that he's only planning on putting a bunch of twelve year olds in leprachaun costumes and just saying that they're drunken irish midgets to cover his ass? (and penetrate thier's if he gets his way...)

joke:what do Micheal Jackson and Mcdonald's both have in common?
answer: they both like to stick 40 yr old meat between 12 yr old buns.

Wow. The old humour gulf raises his ugly head again. I'll have to remember to be more painfully obvious when I'm taking the piss in future. But thanks for the remarks. They've certainly been illuminating.
____________________________________

In response to #46 though, specifically "How much does Ireland contribute to fighting world poverty, terrorism, disease, and disaster relief?", I would ask you to consider the following:

Foreign aid contributions as a proportion of GDP stand at 1.83 percent of the Irish state's budget. On top of that, NGO's and other volunteer organisations that raise funds at home and work abroad are widespread. Also, being a neutral country, most of our army's resources have been devoted to peacekeeping missions in places like Kosovo, Lebanon, Liberia, Eritrea, and East Timor. So, in fairness, we do our bit.

1.83%? Of what? 100 mil? It's probably Bono, the only guy in Ireland making a donation to a worthy cause. Look, I come from Irish descent and have nothing but love and affection for the old country. However, one simply cannot make comparisons of any other countries in the world to the US. At this point in history, no other country is as influential or powerful. Comparing Ireland to America is like comparing Gaul to Rome or Whales to England.

# 31 I don't usually join in these political 'debates' - although they're usually good for a laugh. But, ummmm, he did win the popular vote...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2004

60--mea culpa, 50.7% of the popular vote. UUMMMMMMMMM not necessarily the overwhelming majority either.

@61 - You have to view those numbers with skepticism, though. Widespread voter "irregularities" (read fraud) and Lazarus voters (read dead people voting) help to inflate Democratic candidates numbers. I'm under no illusion that Republicans are saints (gerrymandering, anyone?) however it seems the Dems are the ones slashing get-out-the vote van tires, fighting for illegals' right to vote, and registering in cemeteries.

62--I view anything political or related to politics ANYWHERE with great skepticism and I am extremely cynical of anyone who desires power as pathologically as politicians do.

This is by far, the funniest news story of all time. God bless Michael's nose.

http://www.edquartersaudio.com

jrz:

we don't like the word "power". we prefer "responsibility".

though it is good to be cynical where politicians are concerned.

many politicians have that narcissistic streak in them. "the rules don't apply to them" attitude.

commish: it's the libertarian (with a small "l") in me.

When the fuck did this turn into FoxNews vs. Air America? All these pols gerrymander, they all supress votes and purge voter roles (FL '00, OH '04), though the GOP is better at it than anyone in human history, they are all awash in corporate money, and they all do whatever the fuck the can, legal or not, to ensure that 98% of the 'races' are completely unwinnable by the challenger. Big fucking surprise, in fact, as surprising as an Irish drinker, a pedophilic Jackson, and the fact that TCLTC.

rich, I'm just glad that little twat Katie finally shut the hell up.

jrz:

Step toward the light . . . . . .

Hey, Rich! Don't hold that little Watergate thing against the Republicans.

commish: don't hold my Jeffersonian-freedom lovin' ways against me....I still like to fuck with the Sarah Jeans of the world. :)

jrz:

Awwww. I don't hold one's personal political views against them. Just bad fashion.

I like to hold my body against people on crowded subways and busses.......

Commish, I fear there are no Republican politicians left, outside of perhaps Michael Bloomberg (yea I know, a RINO), only duplicitous dirtbags who have forgotten the true meaning of conservatism and are hell bent to increase the size and scope of the federal government, spend us in to oblivion and are jonesing to make the US a Christian theological state on par with the of the fanatical wackos of the world. Oh and the Dems are a bunch of spineless pussies. Fuck that I'm moving to Ireland, getting me a sheep farm and some Velcro gloves.

#68 - She's obviously an idiot. I don't mind Americans insulting our government, but when you're decendant from squires and surfs and inbred royalty, you get no opinion.

I'm sure PeterPan man wouldn't mind if he set up theme park at his house.

www.pixyland.org

Holy shit, talk about straying from the topic! Nice.

Hey, can't we all just agree that no matter where Michael goes he will try to diddle little boys? Race, Creed, Color or Religion doesn't matter to this fondler of boys.

It doesn't matter where you were born, what you believe, or who your dad sleeps with when your mom is at her Tupperware party. What does matter is that Jackson is a ghastly human being, and he wants to palm as much underage boy junk as possible.

Regardless of your skin color, or your international boundries, we are all united against this tot-grabbing piece of flesh.

So lay down your weapons, and join me in saying: Fuck you Michael. Fuck you and all you represent in this world. You dissapointed me and hundreds of thousands like me. You lied to me, and you are an indecent human. You no good son of a bitch. There is no place on this planet for you, so we'd prefer if you just left.

You goddamn moon-walking, one-glove-wearing, fake-nose-having, ball-sack-grabbing, high-pitch-talking, no-face-having, billy-jean-is-not-my-girl-singing, pigment-reversing child molester.

Yeeeaahhh, Ireland really doens't like Americans. Sadly, I'm an American living here and I KNOW they don't like them, but it's not ALL because of what trailblazer said -- they don't like that you come over to this country and talk about having a great grand father's uncle's wive's cousin and call yourself Irish. If you were born in America you are American. Americans show up to their "Irish ancestor's" homes saying that they are long lost cousins/uncles/pets/whatthefuck else -- if strangers came up to my fucking door, I'd be as equally freaked.
Also, people don't generally like the attitude of "we're better than you you peice of shit" as displayed above. And, really, can you blame them?
Personally, I love and miss America, but Irish, like most of Europe, does not like Americans.

Rich, I cannot disagree with one word you have said. Except the moving to Ireland thing. Pretty little island, ugly big women.

jrz: no subways here. I have to be satisfied with rubbing myself on highschool-age boys in the local gas station.

okay, Ferret. Truce.

76-- P.Y.T. lovin', rat-worshippin', bubbles-the-chimp-havin', mccauley-culkin-molestin', high-water-wearin', baby-danglin' mother fucker.

^^THAT is what I am talking about!

You forgot Liza Minelli.

@42: does anyone else immediately get a flashback of the girl in "American Pie"... this one time, in band camp...."

nothing like a valley girl to tell me what is right and wrong with the world and the history of democracy and it's ties to Europe.. (I notice you don't address the Northern Ireland issues)

by the way, if it were to come down to a contest between 42 and Jrzmommy, I would put full on money on Jrzmommy to kick ass everytime. She works harder than nitwit does anyday!

76- I stand behind what you said 92%.
The other 8% of me isn't here right now.

Fuck you Michael indeed!

P.S. Nice use of the hyphenation.

That Katie bitch is off sucking Hugo Chavez's dick.

It's odd that he never wants to live in negro run countries.

Fools! The intellectual elite in this world know that everything good originated in Greece, from democracy to the bumper pads in my cell.

I have an idea, why doesn't he take the $635 million and build a homeless shelter for kids with sexual abuse and drug counseling? There is magic in the healing!

I mean if you love kids so much, why not take them out of the nightmare so many live in.

http://www.holisticwisdom.com

#78 - You fucking rock. Fuck that, JEB '08!!!!!

jacko's most used phrase at that theme park: "oh don't worry children, they're magically delicious"

@86- "bumper pads in my cell"
Destined to be a classic.

Are you Sonja???

#34 - I'm a dope, I just caught the Frank McCourt reference. He, oddly, was on my Aer Lingus flight to Shannon 3 years back. He, even oddlier, was an English teacher at my high school. I never read his book because 'ashes' remind me that the weed's all gone...

@90
Nope, that's someone else.

I'm Sonya.

I'm only Sonja when I dye my hair Red and put on my barbarian wench costume.

@92- Did I spell that wrong? Well is my face crimson!
You straightened me out over on Yeeeah! The DMX thread.

I'm Lumpy.

PS Barbarian wenches make me hard!

~77- I'm Irish and I don't hate Americans, far from it. I actually don't know anybody here who hates Americans. Your political policies maybe, but not Americans in general. And to whoever referred to Charles Haughey as our President, he never was our President and never will be since he's now dead. Mary McAleese is our President.

...Leprechaun theme park.... OK.

Because what is a Leprechaun but a little boy dressed in a green suit....

MJLLBC (LBC - little boy xxxx)

You know at this point you could tell me that Mj eats his own shit and it would not surprise me...

@93
Oh yes? And I'm assuming you've posted under another name here. Otherwise you wouldn't have known what my real name is.

@59: At what point did I ever compare Ireland to the US? I wouldn't dream of it. Quite obviously, there is no comparison.

But I would suggest that you brush up on your economics before you try to argue a point you patently lack the capacity to understand.

I'm not sure about you, but I am just DYING to take my kids to a leperchaun theme park envisioned and funded by Michael Jackson.

Yup, there's nothing like having molestation charges to attract young children and their parents.

And...

If you feel as though you don't have any clout in your government, you should probably start in your local government. Not as sexy, but that's how to get involved. VOTE for god's sake. You really do have direct control over ballot measures and bonds and the election of local candidates.

59 - Why would you compare England to a large aquatic animal???
That's an odd one.

I agree with 77 - Most of the Americans I have met have been sound as a pound. Some of us only have a problem with your Government’s policies.

I find one thing that pisses Brits and Europeans off more than anything is talking about American sports around them. They say shit like "It's not the 'world series' because the whole world doesn't play..." And don't even try to mention things like ERA, RBI, or slugging % to them... if you can't stretch the game for 3 days while constantly breaking for tea, they could give a fuck. That said, the Mets will cruise to the World Series. Did you hear that you cross-Atlantic, NATO busting, France-placating, Man U and Arsenal obsessed wackos?!?!?!?

Let me apologize in advance, I've only had 2 cups of coffee... I think your countries would make excellent colonies.

Pretty little Island, ugly big women.
Explain please??

#101 RichPort - Although I hate your fucking guts for what your trying to start...

Not only will the New York Mets cruise to the World Series, they will win the world Series in six!

Anybody want to bet???

Go Mets! I fucked a guy in high school who was a Mets batboy, and he was terrific, so I've always loved the Mets!

In the UK we have a game similar to Baseball called Rounders. It's played by six year old girls!

Why do you wear so much padding in your sports???

Motherf*ckin Yanks. Always with the math. You may bestride the world like a giant behemoth (or a grossly obese Mr Stay-Puft lookalike, to be brutally frank) but pound-for-pound, proportionately, the good old Republic of Ireland does tend to matter slightly more than it's tiny size dictates. Or so we like to think. Well, at least it registers on peoples consciousness worldwide more than, oh I dunno, say Azerbaijan (that's Azerbaijan, ASIA - not Azerbaijan, KENTUCKY, yeah?) In terms of GDP and disposable income, we've rapidly gone from rooting behind the couch cushions for spare change for a pint of Guinness/the Church collection plate, to what is apparently one of the most successful economies in Europe/The World. We can even afford the services of Eastern European prostitutes now - surely that's a sign that we've arrived?

Listen, all digs aside, I don't subscribe in any way to this ridiculous comparing and contrasting of America against Europe as a whole, or individual European countries at any rate. It's chalk against cheese, really, breasts against bollocks. Anyone on this side of the world who attempts to portray and belittle the United States as comprised of war-mongering (or at least overzealously patriotic), ill-bred, loud, brash, foul-mouthed vulgarians lacking any real sense or sensibility obviously has no knowledge of this countrys enormously formidable literary, muscial and cinematic output. It is a very outdated attitude. And in fact, in this day and age it is a dangerous attitude as it panders to the negative image of the USA (the epicentre of the West) as corrupt, bloated and morally diseases, which Islamic terrorists would like to use as justification, as fuel to their fires. America is the worlds cultural, technological and economic powerhouse and that's a fact. And I'm not sucking your cocks by saying that. By the same token anyone who spouts similar rubbish about our nation being full of alcoholic leprechauns sexually assaulting sheep and then going to confession about it afterwards, obviously hasn't been here recently. People who pander to such sterotypes are always either (a) not very well travelled (b) not very well educated or (c) has their head stuck so far up their own arseholes they're wiping shit off their eyeballs. There's no excuse for this kind of ignorance. To those out there who maintain this prehistoric attitude, I say - Google 'Ireland', bitches. Google 'Celtic Tiger'. Google your own arsehole for all I care. Just stop being so blinkered.

As regards Michael "Wacko" Jackson coming here to set up Neverland II, replete with dwarves in green livery, I doubt it will ever happen. It's too bizarre and absurd an idea, even for him. If he wants to contribute something to Irish society he should set up a shelter for all the children abused by pervert members of our own Catholic Church here. That would need to much bigger than any theme park imaginable, sadly to say.

"anyone who spouts similar rubbish about our nation being full of alcoholic leprechauns sexually assaulting sheep and then going to confession about it afterwards, obviously hasn't been here recently"

We stopped all that on March the 5th 1986.

#106 - So explain to me why the duty free shop in Shannon advertises the latest in Velcro glove fashion??? And what the fuck does arse mean??? Say it with me: ASS. It's ok, to cuss here. And Kentucy is not, I repeat NOT, our fault; in the early days of the republic we intended to create our borders around it, but some cartographer pissed on moonshine included that inbred cesspool. That said, Ireland fucking rocks. Just don't pretend that it's economic revival had its genesis in anything less than the generous welfare of the EU and the investment of major US tech firms. And for god's sake build your major highways with more than two freaking lanes on each side! You'll need it when MJ and his hoarde of prepubescent whores sets up shop.

#103 - Whatever the fuck do you mean, cupcake?

@106

I'm dying over here. My bra is too damned tight to laugh that hard.

105--American atheletes wear padding in our NFL because there's 22 250-350-pound (113-158 kg) 6 1/2 feet (182-198 cm)-tall monsters running at full force into each other with the main goal being to destroy the guy with the ball. In hockey it's the same but they're on ice with sharp blades attached to their feet and it's part of the game to knock people around. The NBA--basketball, they don't wear padding and MLB--baseball-- they only wear cups and protective helmuts because it must hurt like a serious motherfucker to get nailed by a hardball going 96 mph. Not necessarily games played by six-year old girls.
so there's your answer, asshole. What's your next question? uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh....yes, I'm a bitch because I don't like people. Next question?

@ 98 trailblazer - I understand economics quite well, actually. I see, too, that you Europeans needed to band together into a poor facsimile of the United States to even stand a chance of competing with us in the world market. One last thing - you previously ranted about the warmongering policy of the US, etc., ad nauseum. How would Ireland react were it to have passenger jets highjacked and flown into it's skyscrapers? I'm sure quite reasonably (much like the IRA - right?). Oh, wait, you don't have skyscrapers in Ireland...

112--but they do have bus fulls of little school kids that they don't mind wasting in the name of their freedom. but that was just a small group of people who were/are terrorists. We shouldn't make BLANKET STATEMENTS about a whole nation of perfect fucking saints for the fucked up actions of just a few.....(someone get a mop for the sarcasm dripping here)

@112 Since when did 'not having skyscrapers' become some kind of embarrassment? Why would you imagine anybody in Ireland cares about something like that? You don't have Norman castles, do you? You don't have Elizabethan universities that date back over 400 years? magnificent basilicas that date back to the 11th century or neolithic tombs that date back 3,000 years? have Stick that in your pre-menstrual pipe and smoke it! Oh Christ I can't stand this "we're so great because we have big tall fancy buildings" bullshit. I'm not that impressed by high rise office blocks actually. They're like circumcised pricks - you've seen one, you've seen them all. The novelty soon wears off. The same goes for our roads and infrastructure. I don't get excited by a combination of concrete, tarmacadam and white and yellow lines of paint as you obviously do, but each to their own, eh? We seem to manage perfectly fine with what we've got. You also forget that the much bandied-about fact of American IT investment over here more often than not neglects to mention the massive tax amnesties involved, Irelands highly educated workforce (more so than many US states, undoubtedly) our 'gateway' proximity to Europe and so on. We're scratching their backs and they're scratching ours, it's a simple as that. All multinationals are after a fast buck and don't care where they get it - don't try to portray it as charity. The boastful, smug sabre-rattling and jingoism of some of these posts is really quite sad, I must say.

As to the remark about Europe being a 'lame facsimile' of the United States. Well, the US (as well know) is composed largely of the descendants of European colonists and emigrants, its placenames are often rip-offs of old English towns and cities, the language, the cuisine, the societal structures, etcetera, etcetera. So that indictment could easily be reversed. We laugh when we hear this red herring being thrown out. Don't get me wrong, I take my hat off to the success of America as a crucible of capitalist entrepreneurship and productivity. You've come good, there's no doubt about that. And now the rest of the world takes its lead from you. Nevertheless, the scientific principles utilised by your engineers, the philosophical bases of your business practice and in fact most of the classical foundations of your language, music, literature and culture originated in the Old World, so to speak. 'Standing on thwe shoulders of giants' and all that. So you can stop coming all over your own tits and face with delight at how brilliant you are. And take some history lessons instead.

Michael Jackson, if you're reading this (which I doubt) - I just want you to know I worship your early work, have all your vinyl and was mesmerized by you in concert back in Pairc Ui Chaoimh in 1988 - please stop freaking people out. No more theme parks. No more kooky fascination with kids. No more self-mutilation. Either start privately composing songs for other artists/writing your autobiography/spending most of your time rearing your own children with dignity and stay out of the public eye for as long as you can. Don't feed the vultures. And don't feed whatever 'grà'* is in you that allowed this whole sorry mess to transpire in the first place,,,

*an old Gaelic word for an unspecified 'want'

114--"The boastful, smug sabre-rattling and jingoism of some of these posts is really quite sad"....Well the ill-feelings started at post #27--by a European. Everyone was keeping it light up to that point.
That's usually how this shit starts. Someone from a European country will come out of left field with a nasty comment about the United States, and the Americans, naturally, defend themselves. It always happens that way. And when I say always, I mean ALWAYS!

#114 - HOLY FUCKING SHITSTICKS! It's a good thing you typed that shit, beacuse I wouldn't have understood a goddamn word of it if you were hear speaking it. That said, I did find that the more I drank, the more your take on English made sense to me.

#105 - I know it's a bit late, but we have a clever game here in the US called "How many fingers am I holding up, bitch?" (hint: the answer is one)

All of this shit started from a post by a bitch named Katie...
This is supposed to be about the cum swallower, Michael Jackson.

And, by the way, there's a name for shit disturbers like katie...
Scientologists!
TCLTC
JTLTC
MJLLBC!!!

El Staighre, I salute you.

@#115 and anyone else still referring to my original post, #27, DESPITE my pointing out that I was TAKING THE PISS, let me talk you through it:

"As long as you keep voting in mindless fundamentalist bible-bashing corporate-whoring environment-destroying warmongering presidents we'll keep on keeping you at a healthy arm's length (apart from when you're spending your tourist dollars here - we love them) and ridiculing your nation at every available opportunity."

---> Pointing out the incongruity of the usual hyperbolic anti-American, Bush-bashing, dead-horse flogging attitude prevalent among swathes of European society, who are nonetheless more than happy to take your country's money.

But, like I said, I'm almost glad it was misinterpreted. It's rare that one is treated to such a breath-taking display of arrogance, ignorance, xenophobia, idiocy, insularity and narrowmindedness.

I am Irish. I am not freckled, I am not an alcoholic. Lets get the stereotype out of the way. I also think michael jackson is a caving in faced piece of crap who has no place in this world. I think he's guilty and only coming here as a dirty minded opportunist and I can tell you he's not welcome here!!
As with everything, this forum is total "low rate" tabloid trash!
This anti irish and anti american crap is really annoying and not very smart.
I have been to america and I think its a great place but very different to here. I am not anti american infact I respect america and I have a lot of family there.
However the idea of putting down "my" country because atm machines are scarce, there are no skyscrapers etc is completely small minded and only the comments of a person who does not appreciate natural culture. The world didn't have skyscrapers when it was formed? Man made them, its not a requirement.
America has a much larger population than here so there would be need for subways and skyscrapers I guess but that doesn't make it a nicer place to live or americans friendlier people?? If it did I would be very impressed!!
Irish people can be a little small minded and out spoken on their views hense why you think they are ignorant to americans but some americans were ignorant to me when I was there. so what?
America seems very artificial, all the pills they take. All the fast food. And the guy who murdered his wife for a small sum of insurance just takes the biscuit!! Americans also talk about work too much!! I liked a lot but some were obnoxious and very stupid. Plus Ireland is a very rich country now, and also geographically very small so I guess we don't have room for skyscrapers or subways or freeways etc..I guess money can't buy extra land.
I liked america, but i don't think either europe or america is perfect. europeans colonised america so america is bound to have newer and more up todate infrastructure compared to europe. try and digest that fact and loose that attitude before you use the infrastructural put down about ireland next time please, its very stupid!

Plus, they could build a colonony on the moon in 50 years time and that colony would evolve much like america did yet earth and moon could have much the same discussion. what about the native americans? Did they have skyscrapers in AMERICA?? Everybody, learn a little please. Nothing as bad as all balls and no brains talking. One is for sports one is for discussions. Or can you distinguish?

#121 - Angry Irish people make me chuckle... as long as they're not blowing shit up or throwing rocks at school children.

Angry Irish people make me wonder why the potato famine couldn't have been a little more lethal.

@50 - Blatent self - promotion. Harumf!

The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, Roman or an Empire.
