Italians and the Irish. Inverse proportion of pride and brains. I’m only half Irish which means I still have half a brain.[/quote]
Perhaps someone can clarify this point, but it was my understanding that while he was born in Britain, Patrick was of Roman decent (both his parents were Romans). It would therefore stand to reason that while he may have been born in another country, his lineage remains Roman, ergo Italian.

LOL. Speaking of ironic, maybe before you make fun of someone for being stupid, you should learn how to spell. It’s spelled “hilarious” not “hilarius”. [/quote]
Very well played,not the best sentence to leave a typo in!

Nobody claims he was Irish.He came to Ireland and introduced Christianity to the people,that’s why he is the patron saint of Irish.St.Patrick’s Day has nothing to do with where he’s from,it’s about what he did.Well,what he supposedly did.I find it hard to believe anything the church tells us anymore.

My response was directed to the person who said he was not Italian.
We all know why he is the patron saint of Ireland…it was the snakes, right? I hate snakes.

Even the snakes thing is only symbolic. It is a fact that Ireland had no snakes since the last ice age. The Druids were often represented by a snake and since he converted the Druids to Christianity, people said he drove the snakes out of Ireland.
