Anti-St. Patrick day cause now a days it makes no sense -_-
It's just an excuse to drink now.. I bet a great deal of people don't even know who St. Patrick was or why they celebrate it.. just like many people don't know who St. Valentine was
St. Patrick day is suppose to be a day to honor St Patrick solidifying Christianity on Ireland not to test the limits of your liver! Dresses in black and holds a bat in case someone dares to try to pinch him >_>
@Band Lone: I agree that most holidays, Valentines and St. Patty's most especially, are just reasons to celebrate and party now but what's wrong with that? I think we should all take whatever chance we can to enjoy ourselves and celebrate our friends whatever the reason so........HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!

I understand what you mean completely. But its also a day for people of Irish Decent to celebrate their heritage. While I am Irish/ American Indian I use the day to celebrate my diverse roots. The pinching thing is just a plus :P
@Band Lone: St. Patrick was a saint who came to Ireland and converted many Celts to Christianity, metaphorically chasing the snakes out of Ireland. Btw he was actually from what is now known as Scotland, as a person of Scottish decent I always like to point out that the world's most famous Irishman was Scottish technically
Unless either of you go to church for christmas day and wish jesus a happy birthday this is no way to talk down St Patrick's day. "Celebration" is an excuse to test your own liver. and there are many things to be celebrated, like St Patricks day.... and christmas...
The activity on St. Patricks day is a celebration of culture. Whether we crack a beer, drink whiskey, wear green, or run around dressed as leprechauns, we are celebrating St. Patrick. While some may not know who he is they know his name. I'm sure That's a big deal for a 4th Century man who was kidnapped, taken to ireland, escaped back to Roman Britian, and later returned to preach Christianity. Most Saint's don't receive that much recognition.
