Who wants to know about history?
 

Outside of American history. This year marks the centenary of Ireland's fight for freedom. I know Americans don't enjoy anything outside of America but if anybody wants to enjoy some Irish history, let me know. Irishmen built America, if we're honest.

For such a small country, Ireland has an incredible history.

Nobody wants to know. Wow, how American of you.

give me a brief summary.. around 2,000 words at least

Im down orc. All i know is when caesar landed in "england" the britons were like fuck off were savages that ride into battle on chariots, get off and foght on foot for awhile and then run back to their chariots and dip out.

Im prrtty sure rome never held a foothold in Ireland unless i missed that. So respect bruh

I wouldnt mind knowing more tho. Outside of the modern times irish resistence and the guy from braveheart who helped mel gibson im lacking in irish knowledge

Which is a shame because its one of the big chunks of my ancestry along with the greasy italian and barbarous german

Lol I'm interested in this

Also tho I'm interested in hearing more of how the rest of the world views us......like the thing about us only caring about America lmao.....what else? Besides fat lol

Oh an while YOURE here....u should know sum of America's histiry.....lol how American kf me

It's black history month!

Racism is thriving in America lmao.


K u have the stage

On my life I saw "history " and uh oh and thought.......this wigger in here talm bout the Roman Empire an julias Ceasar I bet my life on it

THERE WERE OTHER PERIODS IN HISTIRY UH OH FOR FUCK SAKE

word there were pre marian republc times and before that the roman kingdoms with the eteuscan overlords and post caesar rome with the empire with all the dudes from augustus to trajan and them to even the fall of rome with the visgoths and vandals and huns and franks and everybody

Basically roman history is the only history outside of american that matters because they were the only other legit powerhouse and it could be argued THE only legit powerhouse

People point to the mongols but they werent running shit long. People point to alexander but he was shook of europe so he trounced some arabs big whoop. People talk of cyrus but he just ran arabia know what im saying.

And sure i mean there were great empires in the easy various chinese factions and shit but lets be real. White history is the only history that matters. So much so that we have an entire month where we celebrate black peoples accomplishments to helping the dominance of white society

How the Irish saved civilization is epic.

Just so you guys know we are made learn American history in school. But I mean, should I even get into Irish history? You guys think that we are still attached to Britian. Honestly that is insulting. 800 years of slavery and oppression via ugly horrible teeth having queers and Ireland breaks free but America is busy.

Its hard to sound smart when you try to type fast with fat thumbs on a phone. Im gonna leave this thread now until i get some irishmen schooling from orc

Honestly though when I sleep and sober up I will post some history. Uh oh you will love it. Google setanta. That's right up your street.

I know about Daniel O'Connell

Wtf you guys got dope mythology. Beats kids up. Hurling is dope i forgot about it until reading this lol. Gets invited to chill with the king. Kills his guard dog. Lmao. Goes and kills some dudes and goes berserk and is still in a frenzy when he gets back

The women of the village are like chill bro here are our tits but hes like nah im good im PISSED so they dunk him in water which instantly explodes/evaporates. Dunk him again and that water boils, and dunk him agai. And that water is pleasantly warm lmao. But i take it he chilled out.

Im look more into this setanta character.

We're taught Irish Culture in school, everyone one of us. It goes something like...."See that small blip on the map, we would destroy them too"

This is a gross misrepresentation.

Us Americans love other shit. Like Ireland. Connor McGregor, potatoes, and molotov cocktails are all dope as shit.

Bros one time Caesar Augustas landed on Ireland and fought Mars and it was dope until THE LIBERAL Poseidon came from out the ocean and broke it up and gave them POTATOES.

that post didn't work. i'll workshop it.
@Bags

I thought it was good.

:)

There's no1 left to impress

Stick around.......this will increase my efforts

From Guinness to McGregor: The History of Ireland by Orc. I look forward to it.


but forreal, let's talk about history that MATTERS AKA American history.

I'm ashamed, guys. I always get annoyed when Americans don't know that Ireland is not in the UK. Much to my own chagrin, I just today found out that Hawaii is an American state. I always assumed it was it's own country. Forgive my ignorance @quaker oats.

no worries, good sir. Hawaii is one of two states that used to be its own country (Texas being the other). became a state officially in 1959. not as uncommon a mistake as you'd think.

though I would be interested to hear an overview of Irish history. I can honestly say I no absolutely nothing about it.

I for one would welcome the explanation of how the "Irish built America."

That was tongue in cheek. Irish migrants did work for a dollar a day in construction, though. Building American roads, bridges, buildings. They worked on the Empire State building when it was considered the greatest in the world.

That's just New Orleans alone.

no doubt the Irish had a hand in building America
as did the Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Native Americans, British, and French
I'm probably leaving a lot of other countries out too

co-sign being of irish descent and having visited there and also being from New Orleans...This is true. They call it the Irish Channel.

Also..the IRISH preserved history for us during the Dark Ages...just saying.


@Orc is the casino at Marino still existing? That was soooooo dope. Amazing.

I googled it man. It's still there. I've never seen it, it looks sweet though. It's weird I've never really done any tourist type things in Dublin. Do you find that happens where you live?

It is worth the trip. Sooooo amazing. I would love to go back. That and kissing the Blarney stone were the highlights of my return to the mother land.

and yes, I was born and raised in NOLA and that is the like the cultural mecca of the south. We grew up fast, fake ids crazy parties etc etc. You could legit go downtown every saturday afternoon and stay until late night and have a totally different and unique experience each time.

#ireland is dope

What do you know of Ollam Fodhla? quite the mystery...

Nothing wrong with pride in where u Come from
Go hard bro
