It may be primitive, but there is yet a rich and varied culture on that island, why, each region even has its own style of stretched hide fishing boat!

>>2315421
absolutely barbaric

>>2315366

because some of them are protestants, even in the six counties

They got their canon tables completely wrong. They seemed to simply copy lists of information, without quite grasping what their context would have been supposed to be.

The book was /grievously/ physically mangled during a re-binding process that (IIRC) occurred during the nineteenth century. /Large chunks of the book were cut away during this process/. A more responsible re-binding occurred in the middle of the twentieth century,

A handful of commentators have insinuated themselves into the conversation over the years - the odd marginal note indicates page count, content, and such.

Later, during the potato famine, the Irish starved for want of knowing how to fish.

T. have read two books about the book of Kells and yes the Irish are very dumb

BEADY

>>2315441

sorry, I meant the counties making up the republic

>>2315519
no need to apologize i get your meaning now

green = catholic
orange = proddy
white = the """""peace""""" between them

Posted as bait obviously but actually asks a very pertinent question.

Is the official description of origin and symbolism of the Irish flag true?

IMO. Probably not, but it's a good yarn.

>>2315444

>good info with "how is potato family real like holy shit nigga just go fishing!" slipped in

Masterful trolling old boy

>>2315371

/his/ is notoriously "pro paddy" to offset the infinite anglo supremacists that come from /pol/

This isn't really a relevant country but it does have interesting bits, and is noteable for keeping its blood safe from the anglos.

Also, the flag is green white and orange to represent the two main historic sides of the catholic/protestant conflict and the white for the peace between them.

>but anon, the south is mostly catholic

when the 6 counties joins them, the protestants will be represented in the flag :^)

The only way to get peace is to destroy popery for all time

>>2315331
As I recall the green is for catholics, the orange is for protestants, and the white is for peace between them.

Terrible flag, honestly. The Harp flag is better,
