    Guinness is just a cheap copy of a million other stouts which came before and it lacks the character of a real honest to god stout. They just burn the malt to give it that dark color while a true stout uses more malt to make the brew darker.

      Are you talking about Ireland or Scotland? Because all those things are true of Ireland.

      Irish seafood is just as good as Scottish. Irish Lamb is better. Irish stew is a lamb dish FFS. Scotland wins on beef, but Ireland on lamb.

        BTW. The thread is "would you rather be Scottish than Irish".

        And if anyone has eaten in Scotland and Ireland, Ireland wins hand down for average food quality.

          Where would the world of business and high finance be without golf? A Scottish invention and there still isn't a course as good as St. Andrews.

              Ireland still has the Catholic church running their public schools.


              EPIC FAIL!

                Plus the Scots are way more inventive and creative then the Irish. A partial list of Scottish inventions:

                The steam engine
                The flushing toilet
                The bicycle
                The telephone
                The television
                Motion pictures
                Antibiotics
                Radar
                Insulin
                Bolt action rifles
                Tires
                Asphalt roads

                The list goes on and on. Compare that to Ireland.

                  No it doesn't, are you Ben Kenobi today? The government runs the public schools like in any other country.

                  The Department of Education and Science, under the control of the Minister for Education and Science, is in overall control of policy, funding and direction, whilst other important organisations are the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland and the Higher Education Authority, on a local level Vocational Education Committees are the only comprehensive system of government organisation. There are many other statutory and non-statutory bodies which have a function in the education system. The current Minister for Education is Batt O'Keeffe.

                    OK, you're right. They FINALLY stopped letting the church run the public schools just last decade. Wow, I guess progress runs slow in Ireland. What's worse is the government helped cover up all those Catholic priests who went around diddling little boys. Unforgivable.

                          To this day, from Mike's own wiki link:

                          The Primary School Curriculum (1999) is taught in all schools. The document is prepared by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment and is perhaps unusual in leaving to church authorities (usually the Catholic Church but not universally) the formulation and implementation of the religious curriculum in the schools they control. The curriculum seeks to celebrate the uniqueness of the child:[7]
                          Oh, bless us. Parents can now opt to send their children to a school not run by the Catholic church even though the Church maintains its strangle hold on most of the country's schools. Yep, I was totally wrong there!

                            Religion is poison. Ireland is still dominated by the Church with the Catholic Church still in control of virtually all public schools in the country ergo Ireland = bad.

                                The church, mostly Catholic but not mandated by law and certainly not always, has some input into religious education.

                                At least they don't have schools that refuse to teach Evolution.
