Relax dude, get a grip on association as well. I believe St Patrick never denied his parents were Roman and wealthy. All four of my grandparents immigrated to the USA around the same time. I am second generation born in this country. I have Italian citizenship by right of blood (Jus sanguinis) and my birth certificate is recorded in Giulianova. I am Italiano I vote in Italy's election. I posses a current Italian Passaporto. Dig it!
If Patrick wan't Italian then he actually did drive snakes out of Ireland and we wouldn't sell more pizzas than beer here in the usa on St Patricks day.
Contrary to popular belief, Patrick was not born in Ireland. According to the Catholic Church, he was born in Scotland or England about the year 389. His parents, Calpurnius and Conchessa, were Roman citizens living in Britain assigned to watch over Roman Colonies in the British Isles. At age 14, Patrick was captured during a raid and brought to Ireland. Six years later, he escaped to Britain and reunited with his family.
Doesn't everyone in England fly the st George flag, wear blue and a rose, ave a big meal, go out dancing, recite Shakespeare, party or parade, toast their neighbors
I miss a lot of good positive people in the forums. You know... the non whiny types who did their own thing expressing themselves without wanting everyone to be like them.
