The Irish are a bunch of drunken theives and violent troublemakers. There's an old, old saying, that if ten Irishmen were stranded on a desert island, eleven of them would declare themselves king, ang they'd lead fifteen armies to war against each other.

They can't be trusted around anything valuable, and will pick a fight for no better reason than boredom. And that's on the rare occasions they're sober....
