Oh, and for the first time since I joined TiBBs, reported.

I am Irish love. I live in Limerick.

I'm from Cork, I should mention. Huns out etc.

I'm in the unfortunate position of not posting often enough to be able to recall quickly who I'm interacting with.
Funnily enough, though, it's coming back to me.

Hopefully everything will go well during her visit, I have nothing against her or the rest of her family personally.

Was she hatched then?

She wasn't born when the English Royal family decided that they wanted to won Ireland boo.

Self-hatred is a truly disgusting and deeply pitiful attribute - you might figure that out as you get older. I'll leave it at that, because you're just a child.

We best be on our finest behaviour then or Angus will lead a royal battalion to sort us out. She's so economically clued up that she knows England only bailed the micks out because of their endless mercy and it has nothing at all to do with putting an investment in ... you know ... stabilizing things for the betterment of all and all that sort of intercontinental gibberish.

Yeah it's only fair to be blindly devotional to your shithole of a country.

I am eighteen years old, I know what I am talking about, I studied History in Secondary School, since I'm not ancient, which I'm guessing you are, I know what young people are like and what their interpretation is of the queen and England is. This isn't self hate, I am not the Irish people, I am one person and I don't speak for everyone. You can't expect me to love everything about Ireland just because I have Irish blood in me, I love a lot of things about Ireland, but lets be rational, it has it's faults.

There's nothing blind about my appreciation of the society in which I live. But it is tempered by having lived in a few others. Makes you appreciate what you've got. You can be equally miserable or contented in any continent or '**** hole' of a country in the world. It's about so much more than your GDP or climate. I feel quite sorry for those who don't appear to have figured that out yet.

.....and I quote 'Irish people are awful though'.....
Not some Irish people are awful; not somethings about Ireland and the Irish are awful, just a lazy, mindnumbing sweeping generalisation. Which, of course, is at the heart of every good debate.............

[Iceman]

dont care, wont bother me at all, although if she goes to the presidents house i live opposite it so that could be interesting....

It's nice to keep assuming you are the only one who has everything figured out, isin't it.

I like some things about Ireland but I have absoloutely no intention whatsoever of staying here. It's full of some humorous, amicable characters but it's also in equal part full of miserable, closet racist purveyors of doom. Other countries do what we do bigger and better. And they don't fuck it all up for everyone.

I have no business here and feel no reason to hide that because it just happens to be the land where I popped out of my mums vadge.

Is Ireland more Anti Gay?

I think it is.

Maybe England appears more accepting in sheer numbers due to the fact that English cities are full of more foreigners, minorities and open minded types than Irish cities by plain virtue of the fact that it has more people and more cities but if you were to gauge it by sector of society, one against the other, I would imagine they are about the same.

Given the multitudie of banal threads full of fun and lightheartedness and daftness- you'd think it wouldn't be hard to leave Serious Debates to those mature enough to want to have serious debates. Or at least, for the few live threads in the Serious Debates section to be moderated to allow that nature of discussion to flow.
