What nationalities do Irish people not get along with?

Answer 1

I suppose the stereotype is that the Irish do not like the English (as opposed to the welsh or scottish) but in truth its more a case of not liking the role of the English government in Irish history. also the arrogant, xenophobic and generally bigoted attitude of much of the English tabloid media and its readers doesnt help either. otherwise the Irish don't have particular "enemies". the present u.s. administration is very unpopular but that in no way applies to the u.s. or its citizens in general.

AnswerWe're a neutral country. AnswerIrish society seems to have been bullied repetively by more aggresssive societies throughout history. Irish society has a basic function relating to emmotion rather than practicality. ie Irish use the right hand side of the brain more than the left opposed to a more functional society located across the water. Possibly two things the same yet taken from different points of view.

The less intuiative types will always tend to bully the more emmotional types. Functional societies seem to associate emotion with weakness. Possibly because all emmotional reactions pre empt cognitive thought processes. Functional societies rely heavily on cognitive thought processes to manage day to day life.

I believe Irish society relys more on emmotional thought processes as a means to managing day to day life. These fundamental differences can be associated to cultural change throughout history in some societies and whatever apparent advancement made by those societies. Opposed to the apparent lack of advancement or lack of need for advancement because of the inherrent genetic possession of intuiative thought processes. This can be associated in Irish culture to the belief in luck and the real instances of these beliefs being upheld. Also the belief in ancient cultures associated to their own and possibly attributing to Irish beliefs and possibly genetic make up.

Ancient cultures such has Faeries, Pixies and elves may have developed originally as a template for the modern day psyche of everyday Irish people in a genetic sense.

Other societies that have changed there own beliefs to suit there own purposes would find it hard to associate itself to a society based of emmotional obbedience over such a long period of time (possibly 8000+ years). This may lead to misunderstandings in emmotionaly underdeveloped societies and apparent lack of epathy towards a more emmotionally developed society.

Analagies can be drawn from the ruling classes in America in relation to native American Indians. Also in Canada and Australia with aborigines. All of these indigineous societies have been mistreated because of their apparent lack of functional worth in a functional society. A total error in judgment made by functional societies throughout recorded history. Everyday that all societies are researched and understood further has resulted in real understanding of the human race, survival mechanisms and the need for cohesion as time goes on.

AnswerPlease ignore the last reply. In America we would associate this sort of behavior with being "full of yourself". You see some people, who study pschology become experts exceadingly fast. To the point, they lose all common sense. They also "forget" to offer anything of substance to back up their philosophy. Probably because it's esaier to assume people will believe you than prove yourself. Let's look at some of them. First, we will never know how or why "Irish use the right side of the brain more than the left". The reason the author made this assumption and seemed so convinced of it was not offered. Nor the conclusion Irish society is an "emotional society" and England is a "functional society". The reader is not even offered a definition of "emotional society" and "fuctional society". As we read on the clarity becomes even less. Until we find ourselves in the realm of faries, pixes and elves. They are used to hold up the argument that these are a "template" of the "modern day psche of Irish people". Which also is apart of their "genetic" make-up. Along with the appently unproven assumption of the Irish belief in luck and magic. It's hard to imagine how the author would explain the christian religion into both the "funtional" and "emotional" society's. Considering the shared religion can easily be considered full of fantasy, luck, and magic. (From the scientific point-of-view) Again with no scientific studies or research to back up any of the purposed "beliefs" the author is seemingly sure of. Nothing. We can be fairly sure that the author consider's Irish societies to be emotional, lacking the advancedment, or need of, that he finds in the English functional society's. What advanced means is not known but we might assume it has nothing to to with writing, lititure, or education. Given the History of Ireland before English invasion and colonial occupation. If you wish to learn more I would suggest the book "How the Irish Saved Civialization". The rest of the author's speak about weak, strong ect. Seems to resemble more of a racist's superiority model than that of a scientific one.
