What would the Irish be like?

if it we were a superpower? We would be the same, wouldn't we, as the English and the Germans and all the rest of the f**kers. An inescapable trait of humanity, it seems to me. I was watching 'The Winslow Boy' today and I was very taken with the English sense of fair play and justice. I am in serious doubt that the Irish might have had that sense of fair play. What concerns me is: because the Irish have been downtrodden for such a long time, at the hands of the English, they regard all authority as arbitrary and act accordingly.
