I'll also think you'll find, Northern Irish people have Irish passports or those of the United Kingdom. Not British. The first passport is that of the United Kingdom (which Northern Ireland is a part of) The second is a purely Irish passport. Irish people do not use a British passport. As you can see, it says 'United Kingdom Of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland.' Why would they say 'and Northern Ireland' if they were a part of Britain? Because Northern Ireland is not part of Britain.
It's a joke - although some of the students down here are actually like it. So depressing - they're the people that are going to run our country's major businesses. And I've had the pleasure of seeing them 'chunder everywhere' and piss up against people's cars. A wonderful bunch, the upper classes.Valkyira said:Hahah! I love that guy. Is he being serious or is this a joke? There was a girl from Skins who spoke like that, she pissed me off.
I have nothing against Irish people wether they're Northern or from the Republic. The passport on the left is NOT a British passport. It is a passport of the United Kingdom.Kayner100 said:well im northern irish and i have the passport on the left, you know the british one and in it, it say: nationality-british
you seem to have something against northern irish people, im not saying that northern ireland is in britain, im saying that northern irish people are british

I meant alot of Americans are just the same, which is where you come from, so don't call the kettle black because you live in a giant pot.Plurralbles said:pfft, it's not like I live here or anything >_>Sparrow said:Yeah, it irritates me. It's ignorance, really. I just sort of screams "I can't be bothered to learn about your country". The thing I REALLY don't get is, when someone says they're Welsh they are refered to as Welsh. When someone says they're Scottish, they are refered to as Scottish. But when you're English, you're British. It just makes no sense.
Plus, a worrying amount of people think England is Britain, oppose to England being in Britain.
Pff. Apparently you don't know any Americans.Plurralbles said:...meaning that it is perfectly acceptable for people who don't hear them everyday to lump them all together.
They're such heroes. I'm hoping the rest of their videos end up being as funny as Gap YahValkyira said:Perah... Perha darling. That guy cracks me up.
I find it hard to believe you like being "lumped together", as you put it before. Regardless, I did not mean you specifically.Plurralbles said:I don't understand. I'm saying I'm american and if you said, "american accent" I wouldn't give a damn.
Am I missing something here? The text in that picture specifically says "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island."Kayner100 said:well im northern irish and i have the passport on the left, you know the british one and in it, it say: nationality-british

It would be awesome if you all did. then you'd never get anything done when there's a tourist nearby because they'd constantly ask you to say Fuck.reg42 said:Your avatar pleases mePurpleSky said:And knowing is half the battle.
OT: Yeah, I know how people feel about this. People seem to think that all South Africans speak like Wikus Van De Merwe, which is very annoying.
Why wouldn't you call it english? What with the english people passing it on to the welsh and the scotts. When we colonised Australia and America we continued to use our language. Just because these countries are now independant and/or have their own national identities, doesn't mean they can claim english as there own language.maninahat said:Well, if we are splitting hairs, why not point out that there is no such thing as "the English Language". Seeing as how English is spoken by Americans, Australians, the British etc. It seems in accurate to label it all as "English".
