I am Irish. I have lived in Ireland all my life.
No one here says

TOP O' THE MORNIN' TO YA

Never in a million years would you ever here an Irish person saying that unless one of us is taking the mick out of Americans for thinking we say that. I am just telling you all so that if you ever here someone else doing an impression of an Irish person and says that, you can correct them...

Yeah, that's kind of an easily spotted stereotype. Thank you for helping look out for it though, lad(jk).

It's a catching tune. Hm, I might start using that now. That is stereotype, but wasn't that the Scottish?

@snowman1474
American isn't that bad, it's mostly our annoying government and mostly stereotypist people(not all, of course), but every country has some sort of 'roblem', nothing's perfect.

as for the stereotype, luckily I don't believe things like that, but I do know people who love to make fun of other countries, it's immature and really annoying, oh well, can't change the public =(

Actually in europe they do not drink unresponsibly they do not get drunk usually and beer is healthy to you to some degree
