[QUOTE="cerial, post: 7425, member: 26"] [b]Padraic[/b] ? chara the famine is still remembered here, we are taught much about it in school but the main way it is handed down is thru song. there are quite a few sculptures arround the country also, some remarkably touching. as for attitudes towards our neighbours .. personally i don't mind the english .. but i've lived in england for a year so i got to see "real" english ppl ! its quite funny these days, Dublin is the main destination for english stag and hen nights. i heard a funny converstaion during the Euro 2004 soccer comp that i think fits .. England were jus knocked out and there was a call-in show on .. a man from Tipperary rang in and the host asked him if he was supporting England since Ireland had been knocked out .. "ah no" was the reply .. and the host asked again .. "would you ever support england".. "no no .. sure i couldn't be doing that" .. so the hosted asked "hypotetically .. what team would england need to play for you support them" .. and he replyed " i supose if they were playing Kilkenny i'd give them a wee bit of a shout" on the whole .. i think there is still a lot of mistrust felt by a lot of irish .. 400 years of oppression are hard to forget in some ppls minds ! its not so bad where i'm from .. Kildare (i was born in Donegal tho but moved here years ago).. i'm jus outside the pale you see ! but if you head west and south attitudes are much diferent .. i suppose those areas had it much worse back then ! i'll go into this in more detail next time i post .. there is much to tell on this .. but i will say it has got so much better than it was .. there is still much disquiet up there but ppl now are gettting sick of the violence and want an end of it . anyways till the next time sl?n go f?il b [/QUOTE]
