CNN travel writer slams Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day parade

now george you lowest of the low, why dont you just f... off and jump in the sewer, you sewer rat

It's a sure bet, I'd put a grand on it: Show an Irishman that he's talking garbage and he starts tallking filth. In this case, his obsession with body size, evident from his opening "I bet he's 100 lbs overweight to". Pameieras, you're foulmouthed scum. And a coward too, because in the real world you skulk away from confrontation with real men. You're only a "virtual" tough!

george dillon/wounded knee is still at it; look, you low life, I am not sirpeter and I am not 300lbs; in fact I've run a number of marathons; hom many have you ran? you seem to be obsessed with fat; this indicates to me that you're the fat loud mouth pig; in other words a typical american; also, what part can't you understand : Ireland as part of the E.U. is practically the same as any of the u.s. states being part of the union; now fo jump in a river you scumbag and pollute it with your filthy lice ridden body.

Another piece of flatulence from the 300 lb gorilla palmeiras aka sirpeter. This bigot seems to think everyone is as dumb as he is. He says the magic words "the EU makes us do it" and thereby wipes his own infantile brain of all responsibilty. If the EU told you to jump in the Irish Sea, would you do it, you fat creep? If the EU told you to pay back billions of euros that you never borrowed, would you do it? Come to think of it, I guess you would, because you're a spineless lump of Irish blubber.

george dillon is at it again, insulting and abusive; well i'll give it right back; I bet you're obese and big mouthed like most yanks, no matter what you say. Also you are too stupid to understand that most,not all,of the foreign migrants {as you call them} are from within the E.U. and have a right to be in Ireland. Can your bird size brain understand this or does your obnoxiousness get in the way? and boy george, dont take my word for it; when I was in oz and n.z. [have you heard of these countries?} they said the same thing about you yanks. Even the brits say it {special relationship or not}. So there you have it wounded george; or are you going to say, because of your arrogance, that everyone else is wrong and you are right? and last you idiota {that's portuguese by the way}, I am not sir peter, ok you imbecile? now go jump in in your backyard sewer. Over and out.

Ad hominem attacks such as that by palmeiras aka sirpeter are so absurd, aren't they? I am accused of being fat (didn't you ever see the Irish fatties waiting in line with their sacks of duty-free booze at JFK or Newark Airport, sirpeter? I bet you'd need a periscope to see your toes.) As it happens I am not more than 4 or 5 pounds above my ideal weight, sir peter palmeiras, and I show within normal values for other indices such as height, lipids, vision, penis size, blood pressure etc. Happy, sirpete palmeiras? Now your homework for today is write a logical and unabusive justification of why a small country would import vast throngs of foreign migrants even when there is no work and the native people are emigrating. Or else refrain from posting your imbecilities here.

GeorgeDillon, a.k.a. wounded knee, is the hypocrite of all time; he's the one who resorts to abuse and agression--just check his comments on this site; like I said below, he's the typical american one meets overseas, just plain obnoxious in every sense of the word. I bet he's 100 lbs overweight too, typical,typical; and by the way, Ireland's education system is way ahead of the usa's; wounded george proves that again and again.

McGlynn0704: What you post is sadly valid. As to Palmeiras--why are Irish people unable to argue logically and dispassionately, but always have to resort to abuse and agression? Is it something in their education system, such as it is? By the way palmeiras, the last time I checked I was far from wounded--in fact all parts are operating at over 99% efficiency. Can't say the same for your brain!

Eva Sandoval should look at "her own" parades, namely Cinco de Mayo and the Puerto Rican day parades, where there's worse behaviour than in Dublin; violence-broken windows on 5th avenue etc. Also,would george dillon/wounded and kneecapped go to hell off this site. They [he] are just typical obnoxious americans-loud, crass and obnoxious still more; go and stay busy with your stupid red neck tea party.

The Dublin St. Pat's Day Parade is an embarrassment to the Republic. To think that people gave their lives so that this drunken revelry would represent our culture and become a symbol of our civilization. Very sad.

Well i answered once BUT it dissapeared,ive been there saw that and once was enough,its true that in the Us its regulated during the parade, but in the aftermath its chaos ms sandoval was spot on about the parade in Dublin. It shouldnt come as a surprise its that way in any country when the people are as packed in as they are for the festivites. dublin is not a nice place in general not like the west "up Mayo" And her comment about British Isles ,Ireland is NOT British, "tiocfaidh ar la" in english OUR DAY WILL COME 26 6 = 1

Yes, some idiots are going way to far. Perhaps it is time to make some rules and enforce them.

Shes right

Temple Bar still has some good points for tourists, but "trad" music is centered in Doolin. If you don't spend time there you haven't really enjoyed what traditional music is or what it means. But, the Harp in Sligo has a nice mix of traditional and pub music..When Patsy Watchorn was at the Lower Deck it was my favorite place...but it is/was an IRA centric pub...still young and old enjoyed the music and dancing...so you can enjoy traditional music and the later music of people like Luke Kelly and Patsy...and Coulter...etc. Open your ears and your minds...history songs are as old as music.

Have son and family in Dublin..attended the 2010 parade and we all had fun. The kids got to be right up at the barricade. Just a whole bunch of people having fun...people from all over the world...I have pix of Chinese kids all dolled up in green and having a great time...NO the Irish are not British, nor English, and that is a really good thing. Be proud of being part of a people with great history and pride...and stop worrying about morons who think all the Irish are drunks...BUT a pint or two now and then is a grand thing.
