Anyone hate St. Patrick's day?

Actually, I don't like St. Patrick's day. A lot of people just use it as an excuse to act silly, and its really annoying. Honestly, non-Irish folk make 10x a bigger deal out of it than (we) Irish people do, and usually the actual Irish kids you DO see running around wearing green this and using green that, forget for the rest of the year where their ancestors come from. So how do u think about St. Patrick's day??

too much beer!! all people in green!

Being ingnorant of the full history/reason for St. Patrick's Day, I view it like this....

Most of us work hard all year to take care of ourselves and our family. So, if there is a day here and there that gives us an excuse to cut loose a little, then I'm all for it. Sort of like Valentine's Day. It's not really a significant "holy day" or a national holiday or anything, but if it's a good excuse to go out and have a nice romantic dinner, then thats terrific.

I could not even tell you what month St. Patricks Day is on... completely and utterly irrelevant...

I'm from the Orange half of Ireland.... I couldn't realy care less about it as a holiday but I'l still go out. and get wasted (Not that I really require a reason for that) simply because women flock to me like a seagull round bread.

I probably won't wear green tho, and if anyone pinches me I'l give them a history lesson Because Ireland is not entirely green, Theres a massive amount of people who associate with Oragne and the colour of St Patrick is actually Blue. Which is why the Ireland football team intially played in blue and had to change due to a clash with Scotland.

im of irish descent. being that i am in college. i see the point youre making. however, we still celebrate it, and everyone is irish on st patricks day. so have a pint and relax a little.

As for St Patricks day, for most people in Ireland its an excuse to have a good time and a day off. We don't dress like ****ing leprechauns, we don't dress all in green, we don't dye our beer green, we don't eat corned beef and cabbage. We do (mostly) get rip roaring drunk though :P

It's a fun holiday, get over it. I'm Irish, along with many other heritages, but just like other holidays America has made it it's own in a way. Just enjoy it for what it is, or seclude yourself to your room for that day so you don't have to "experience" the annoying holiday.

I don't hate it, but I sure don't care about it.

Actually, I don't care about any holidays.

However, when my 10k post party rolls around, that day will be the stuff of legend.

Its a time to get drunk and have fun... oh wait, I do that all the time anyway :P

Yeah its just a normal day for me.

my grandad is irish, but ive never celebrated it. ive been told that irish people find it annoying when non-irish people celebrate st patrick's day. it reinforces negative stereotypes about irish drinking culture

I'm Irish and I don't care about it at all. It's just a day off for me.

My biggest issuethe TC's postis Americans who come up to me constantly saying "I'm Irish", I ask from where, and they inevitabley reply, "Well I'm not from Ireland, but my grandmother was." That makes you of Irish decent, but not Irish. I think I speak for most people actually born and raised in Ireland that we find that annoying.blue_hazy_basic

my favorite pub is selling cheap guiness... why the heck should i hate that?!

I'm deeply offended, it's my birthday. How could you hate my birthday:cry:

I don't care for it since I'm not Irish.

It's that day when everyone claims that they are Irish and it therefore makes them ten times cooler. You aren't irish.. You are American.. and kudos if you can ACTUALLY trace back your ancestry to Ireland.

Lots of beer and happy people What's there to hate?Darthkaiser

St. Patrick's Day involves a lot of beer. I like beer.

I hate alchol :twisted: so yeah i hate Saint Patricks day. Although, my city has the third largest Patties Day parade in the country. Which is kinda cool.

I don't hate St. Patrick's day, but I'm not Irish, I'm not Catholic, and I don't drink, so I don't really see the point of doing anything special that day.

You should run around pinching drunk people. It's fun, and I promise they won't punch you. Ok they might, but that's what makes it exciting.

I can't wait to hear everyone whine about how hungover they are in cIass on Friday. :roll:msudude211

Darn it.

I add green food colouring to my mash potatoes and wear something Green.

what purpose is served by "hating" a holiday?

if you don't like Saint Paddy's Day then simply don't celebrate it and if you want to avoide the thing stay away from crowds for one day.
