Ciaradexy, you seem to be softening your xenophobia. Good for you.

Not every irish person is white or catholic! Good on you Drew! I hope you keep enjoying it.

What a beautiful kid and so talented. The New York parade committee won't allow him to appear on Saint Patrick's Day of course becuase kids that talented at dancing is usually gay. Ireland will give the world title, New York's Catholic storm troopers will give him the boot.

I think it's wonderful that he has won the Irish Dance Championship! I wish him the best. I am very sorry to hear though, of the bullying he has had to endure. No one should have to endure that!
