noonsun Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I forgot to wear green today. I got pinched about two dozen times. One of them is starting to bruise. I hate this holiday. What makes Irish people have the right to make NON-Irish people pinch other non-Irish people who did nothing to any Irish people except exercise their right to wear whatever color clothing they want on whatever day they want? Urgh. I'm sorry. Happy St. Patty's day. Please don't think I'm a racist or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 :rolleyes::lol: Well, perhaps a bit of history: since Celtic Europe was huge at one time, in one sense, you might be closer to the Irish than you think! So, by roundabout logic, that makes it OK for non-Irish to pinch other non-Irish, since technically, they/we may be extensions of the progeny of ancestral Celts. Besides, it's a good excuse to have fun, and what harm can come from that??:laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonsun Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 No. I'm from Swedish ancestors. Sorry. And no harm can come from it, but I don't like to be pinched. It's really that simple. :rolleyes: It's okay, though. Probably when I can drink legally I'll enjoy it more. :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I never got the whole pinching thing, but then, the Irish (some of them) resent everyone being allowed to be Irish on the day,lol. Maybe it's their revenge...Muahahaha! HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO COLDPLAYING!:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck kottke Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Truthfully now, Bono says that St. Patrick brought civilization to the wild, mad, warring Irish tribes - he got them interested in Latin literature and saved some of the ancient world's works from destruction through the devotion of the Irish toward saving and learning from these works of earlier civilization. So, in Saint Patrick, there's a part of the early Mediterranean civilizations being brought to Ireland, and their adopting of the ideas and works contained therein. So therefore, Saint Patrick is a global godsend, who made his home in Ireland, and we by extension are fortunate to have the advanced teachings he saved, and the Irish saved, from the destruction of the middle ages, as what propelled modern civilization in the West, and the world in general.. Therefore, we can all celebrate St. Patrick's Day as the day when civilization was saved from the dark ages (and rejoyce in the enlightenment, by drinking some fine Irish brew).:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah, St. Patrick's Day! :cheesy: I'm wearing a ton of green and loving it, I have pinched most of my family. I couldn't pinch my 15-year-old brother, though, because he made it clear to me last night that he would kick me if I tried to pinch him...
