Two different ethnic backgrounds? So Irish and Scots-Irish?

So, fake weddings are illegal in Ireland? So does that mean that if someone is producing a film, they have to leave the country for any wedding scenes, and then return to finish filming? That is just retarded.

The last sentence stood out for an otherwise apologetic storyline-


One wedding guest has been referred for deportation.

It was for the best. Turns out the priest got drunk on Toilet Duck and wasn't able to speak.

If we allow mixed race marriages, it will ruin the institution of marriage for everyone else. Besides, think of the children: mixed race couples can't produce pure-bred children, so they shouldn't be allowed to have sex.

Weddings between a citizen and non-citizen for the sole purpose of providing a British passport to the non-citizen.

So what? Very little difference really.

This is why we'll take the Attractive and Successful African Americans and the chinks, but we DON'T want the Irish!

WTF Indeed: Two different ethnic backgrounds? So Irish and Scots-Irish?

My father was a Scotsman, and my mother is from Northern Ireland. Apparently theirs was considered to be a mixed marriage to the point that my mother's family continually refused to call my father by his given name, but insisted on referring to him as "Jock" (which is a generic and slightly pejorative term for a Scotsman). This was especially funny bearing in mind that the coasts of Scotland and Northern Ireland are only about 12 miles apart at the narrowest.

There's no greater way to say Fark You to your friends and family than to make them pay large sums of money to:

1. Take time off work (lost wages).
2. Travel a long distance (travel costs, room and board, etc).

Just so that they can have the privileged of watching you get married. Do everyone a favor and get married locally. The honeymoon is when you travel.

Family usually doesn't come for the wedding and you just have a reception at a different time when getting married overseas.

/ Just went to a reception like this for a friend that married in Italy.

Mr McIlwee's solicitor Karina Breslin Carlin said: "I do have concerns that the Borders Agency have taken the view here, that if it's alleged this is a sham marriage, it's a great opportunity to go into this wedding ceremony and see how many Chinese nationals are there who may not have the correct paperwork in order.

Wow... That's actually aggressive for a immigration agency. Or is it the timid nature of ICE in the USA that makes this look aggressive? For all I know the rest of the world actually goes after illegals.

Which is in Ireland if not The Republic of Ireland.

I know, right? Personally, I think it's an awesome idea for the government to storm in and break up weddings involving people of "suspicious" ethnicities, just to check their paperwork. I'm sure something like this is in the works in Arizona already.

This.

The United States is a pussy when it comes to going after illegals. Most other countries actually *GASP!* treat them like the criminals they are, chase them down, arrest them, and *GASP! again* ship them out.

As a "mule child," I appreciated that greatly; thank you. What the hell is with the Protestants singing all four verses of the damn hymns, anyway?

It's like taking a shower in Ireland!

Remember the thread the other day about the Canadian government cancelling 1800 fraudulently- obtained citizenships? I think it's only in the US that illegal immigrants have become numerous enough that they are able to enlist the aid of legions of sympathizers, some of them in government positions, who are ready and willing to help them break the law.

My friend's destination wedding was one of the best trips I've ever been on. It was so amazingly fun for everyone out there.

In other news, there are Asian people in Ireland?

annoyed_grunt: In other news, there are Asian people in Ireland?

I lived in Ireland for awhile and was surprised how diverse it was. Dublin, at least. Sort of like London.

Wow, that's farked up. On the other hand, it's nice that a western nation other than America did something stupidly racist.

/lighten up, I know this crap happens all over.

and legions of people who will scream that it's a somehow morally superior position, and will sink as low as calling it racism.

Everyone on FARK likes to make fun of Canada and France for being pussies,yet they actively seek out and deport illegals all the time. The U.S. is the ONLY country that has scores of citizens actively supporting illegal immigration to the point that the government is seen as ruthless and cruel and racist for deporting people who are not here legally.

They dont have to come, we really dont care and were not gonna resent anybody who doesnt come. Were looking at all inclusive places in mexico now and that, especially package deals, are pretty cheap, esp since she works for a travel wholesaler. Were both from BIG catholic families, guest list of just aunts, uncles and cousins (not counting half or second anything) is in the low hundreds, add in friends, no way we could afford that. Weve been together for quite a while and dont need any kitchen appliances or linens, so why bother with the big day. Everybody who wants to come down to mexico with us for a few days can, were staying for 2 weeks, wedding and honeymoon in one, resort takes care of everything for a little extra.

None of my business, but I agree with the other guy. Your family will want to attend and will be bummed if they can't swing it. Not that you care what farker brainiac-dumdum thinks, but I'm a proud (Irish) loud-mouth and can't resist.

An anonymous tip off, huh?
Somebody's new mother-in-law is an evil biatch.

The deportation is the fruit of the racist tree, the claim of "sham wedding" is racist. She's pregnant, they're getting married. It happens.

Also, lighten up

Same problem in the states, it's not illegal to give bogus "anonymous tips". It's also not illegal for cops to lie about said bogus tips.

Farkers.

I'll bet everyone involved was drunk!


Amirite?

Well, I'm of Irish ancestry and I'm a racist. I hate Micronesians. They are so damn small.

jn1512: Whale oil beef hooked.

That's Newfie, not Irish.

SH: Same problem in the states, it's not illegal to give bogus "anonymous tips". It's also not illegal for cops to lie about said bogus tips.

Farkers.

In fact, law enforcement pays for tips, thus providing a tantalizing incentive for BS. You probably know that already, I just wanted to get that out there.

So, there won't be a Las Vegas, Ireland anytime soon?
