  1. Ireland has fine areas of woodland, especially in Kerry and Wicklow. They are more accessible that the woods of northern California. Ireland has excellent beaches, white and sandy in Donegal, yellow and sandy on the east coast - all frequently deserted. Irish weather and Bay Area weather are not all that different, while Ireland lacks the micro-climates of the Bay Area which makes it impossible to know what to wear in that part of Northern California. Name one natural wonder in Ireland that is as stunning as Yosemite as a whole: the Burren, Killarney, Wicklow at three. All are more accessible that Yoesemite. Unlike the Bay Area, which I like very much, Ireland is not built on a fault-line and never suffers earthquakes. It also has no critters that will kill and eat you, while Irish people are more sincere and warm.

  2.  @woofytwoshoes7711  I've spent time in the Bay Area, and my wife is from there. She lived in Burlingame and her parents in Pacifica. You don't know about Ireland at all, which is why you are making the comparisons...including comparing San Diego and LA with Paris, Venice and Stockhom - Vancouver is the only city outside your country. Only you can explain why you are comparing California with Ireland on a video about European citizenships. In any case, it is the opinion of most that Ireland is far more beautiful than California - especially Californians. While there are beautiful places in California, indeed in every country, you will not find such variation of beauty in such a small area in California as you will in Ireland. You will not have to drive such great distances to access it. That's just a fact. You never heard of the Burren, know nothing of the Wild Atlantic Way and oddly compare LA, which is in the same state, with European cities. California is a fine place. If I was to move to the US, the Bay Area would be my choice. But comparing California to Ireland is a fools errand, it is hard to know why are you are doing it. Cheers!

  3.  @woofytwoshoes7711  Well, look at it this way. There are millions of Americans who don't own a passport and are ready to believe - and will tell you - that America is greatest country on earth. It's just part of your culture.

  5.  @woofytwoshoes7711  I don't know what you mean by 'a total stretch', and while I have never been to Yosemite, I know it is a beautiful place. Everywhere in Ireland is more accessible and easy to get to because the country is small. Indeed, the whole of Ireland is a beautiful place. Its can be sunny in the Bay area in one place, and foggy and cold in another. That can happen in Ireland also, but Ireland lacks the Bay Area extremes over just a few square miles. There are other plusses to Ireland that California lacks: in Ireland you can reach other European countries quickly and easily to experience their culture and cuisine, cheaply and easily. Fancy breakfast in Ireland and lunch in Venice, Paris or Stockholm? I can be easily done in Ireland.

  6. Ireland is not 'highly anti-Semitic'. That's a ridiculous statement.
