no BE green and not just today -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 08:01
Sometimes I wear orange on St. Patrick's Day. Is that mean? -- nm - maura Mar 17, 07:43 37
- I'm wearing burgundy today -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 17, 08:12
- I gave it some serious thought, but orange really isn't my color. The logo on my green sneakers is orange - I hope that counts :) -- nm - Galway Girl Mar 17, 07:49
- i wear orange tights and a green shirt every time i go out on st patricks day. - Andie with the black velvet band Mar 17, 07:48 2
  - I like that, it's very inclusive. :) -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:48 1
    - (I'm going to think you are Hunting all day long.) -- nm - TFox Mar 17, 07:49
- some might see it as rude. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:47
- Is there an explanation to this or is it mean that I also wear blue? -- nm - Max Mar 17, 07:46 28
  - Both symbolize Ireland, but orange is for Protestant. -- nm - maura Mar 17, 07:49
  - support for Protestant Irish - has roots in William of Orange -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 17, 07:49
  - wearing green or orange was historically a political statement. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:48 2
    - Hawthorne always said he wore orange on purpose. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 07:49 1
      - yeah, I found it kind of fighty. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:50
  - it's the protestant colour. (and st patrick is a catholic holiday) -- nm - Andie with the black velvet band Mar 17, 07:47 22
    - If St. Patrick is a Catholic holiday, then I have no business observing it at all. -- nm - maura Mar 17, 07:50 13
      - well, it's named after a saint. :) - Andie with the black velvet band Mar 17, 07:52
      - it's weird to me that it has turned into a US national holiday. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:51 11
        
        It's weird to people in Ireland too. -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 08:04 1
        
        The Irish PM is in Washington DC right now, just as he is every year. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 08:05
        
        well, about half of the population of Ireland packed up and moved to the US in the 18th and 19th centuries. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 07:56 2
        
        in some cases, were put on ships. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:58
        
        The other half were sent to Australian penal colonies, but St Patrick's Day is nowhere as big there -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 17, 07:57
        
        Despite the perverse way it gets exploited, I still see St. Patrick's Day as a sort of ethnic pride holiday - con_carne Mar 17, 07:56
        
        is it? I thought it was like a way more popular Cinco de Mayo. - TFox Mar 17, 07:52 4
        
        people are mentioning it everywhere you turn, right? -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:53 3
        
        yeah but it's not like official, is it? they aren't closing shit? -- nm - TFox Mar 17, 07:54 2
        
        not a federal holiday, but seems to have turned secular. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:56
        
        No, it's not a federal holiday. -- nm - maura Mar 17, 07:54
    - I don't think I ever knew this. -- nm - TFox Mar 17, 07:49 7
      - Neither did I, but now I want my own Protestant Irish day. -- nm - Max Mar 17, 08:10 1
        
        July 12. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 08:11
      - well, he's a Catholic saint. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:52 4
        
        No, I knew that. I didn't know the orange Protestant part, or that there was an especially bad color to wear today. -- nm - TFox Mar 17, 07:53 3
        
        have you heard of the marching season in Northern Ireland? -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:54 2
        
        not so much -- nm - TFox Mar 17, 07:55 1
        
        it's not pretty. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:56
- it's.. antagonistic. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 07:44
- slightly. -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 07:44
I caved in. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 07:41
I just realized that I unconciously chose a green sweater today. - Reagen Mar 17, 07:41 1
- I just realized that I chose between 2 identical polo shirts this morning: one maroon and one green. Picked the maroon. - TFox Mar 17, 07:46
