What does St. Patricks Day mean to YOU?!

ICmag green gang,

What does St. Patricks day mean to you??

I am a 1/4 Irish and I am curious to see what you know what is to be Irish, at the very least 1/4 Irish for that matter.

More Irish lost their lives to the famine than Americans to the American civil war (the most American lives lost to any of their bloody wars to this date).


Oh and by the way, it's not about just getting shit faced. Some Irish realize why we celebrate! Its good to be alive or survive for that matter..so we celebrate regardless of the Irish stigmas that are placed upon us.

No nay never, No nay never no more!

Smoking a lot of green mostly, maybe drink some green beer too. But it really means nothing to me, I'm not catholic or Irish.
 
I guess in time we lose the true meaning of what it's supposed to be. In all honesty, every year when i hear "St. Patty's Day" I think of Downtown San Diego and girls and party beads (kinda like Marty Gras) and hats and decorations, and green beer!

St Patrics day is as we say over here in Ireland a crock o shite, it's nothing but an excuse to get hammered drunk and fight.
I'm no big fan of him or his snake driving antics, the snakes represent pre-christian religions.

Bloody foreign missionarys ruining things for the natives yet again.

As a son of a Dubliner - it warms the cockles of my heart to see all the other nationalities that WANT to be Irish, even if it's just for one day...
