FFS, so Ireland isn't sitting on an oil well. What has England given the world if not only its people?

Ireland may have many emmigrants but its also world famous for its artists in music and literature , its history and hospitality as well as arguably the most famous alcoholic drink of all time.

Rugby.

Perth's always been full of Irish - my Irish Great Granny married my Italian Great Grandfather straight off the boat there in the late 1800's. I had a young irishman in Perth offer me $10k to marry him when I was about 20.

Which comes from people, right? On those grounds, Ireland has given the world black pudding. Your welcome!

I'm not the biggest fan of the UK, but what they have given the world and civilisation is immense - do a search.

Ireland has given the world some literature, potatoes, Guinness - and its people.

So we've gone from just 'people' to literature, potatoes, Guinness and people. Do some research.

How about the aqueduct?

Cool. Can't be arsed to argue with you.

It's whatever you want it to be.

A little less ignorance wouldn't go amiss.

Not even potatoes - the Spanish introduced potatoes to Europe. The Irish just like to have them done in 4 different ways every meal!!

How did aqueducts come from the Irish?

They didn't, it was a Monty Python reference.

Before my time!

I know I'm not living in a country that has ass-f**ked its own economy

Very naive
