First, let me state that I haven't read through all the responses to this thread. The topic, something about having intercourse with people of Irish descent, was at first appealing (I like them), until I realized the malicious intent behind the message.

I like the Irish, but reject the stereotypical image we've been handed. I'm half Italian (Sicillian actually) and half Scottish. Talk about stereotypes. Being judged by those standards (and I am sometimes) would have me seen as a stingy criminal with a quick temper and a liking for animal intestines smothered in tomato sauce. Every time I see a cartoon of a fat Italian chef twirling a pizza on some restaraunts advertising I want to put on a plaid skirt and stab the manager with a switchblade, to the sound of Scotland the Brave and the theme from The Godfather. (That was a joke, actually).

All those Leprecauns and green stuff that bombard us around the time of St. Patrick's Day leave me cold. It's evident that people who want to sell stuff to everybody have no shame. It has little to do with Ireland. Joe Columbo died for our sins! That'sa som'a spicy meat'a ball!
