    He means that it's wrong forum. It's about conspiracy theories like Kennedy death or Illuminati.

    I think you should ask for removing it to "After Hours".



    I agree with that aggressive drunk people thing. People are going out to have some fun or relax, not to fight or be beaten because of somebody's idiotic ambitions or something.

    It's really annoying but I think there's nothing we can do.     No matter where are you from it always happen in the public.

    The best thing we can do is avoiding cheap pubs.

    why cant someone start a thread called "what I like about Ireland" here goes, I will start, will I? I like Ireland cos its the country of my birth and I feel greatful to the brave heros who went before us and died for this lovely country. They gave us freedom to be ourselves. we dont take sides in anyone else's wars. We have produced some of the best music in the world (excluding dustin) comedians, poets, writers the world has ever known. On a personal note. I live in a small community where everyone will still rally around when someone is in trouble. I live in an estate of 32 houses and I know in my heart that if I needed anything, be it money or a cup of sugar, there is not one house that would refuse me. I am glad that I have my family living near me. They didnt have to emigrate as some of my forefathers had to do. Now, when people go abroad its because they want to see the world, not because the had to. I still find that most people that you meet in the course of my day are friendly and obliging. I think that people in general respond well if you are friendly and kind to them. I just wish that our own people would stop knocking our country. I love Ireland and I am proud to be Irish.

    There are a lot of things i like about Ireland but there are a few things i hate about it.

    I hate the way Ireland is regarded for its "Drink". That annoys me so much. Why do some people head out at weekend to get "completly wasted" where is the enjoyment in this? I envy foreign countries attitude to drinking. For example when i was in Belgium on my holidays last year, i noticed a vending machiene which had soft drinks but also cans of beer on a street. In ireland we couldnt do this as underagers would completly abuse this. I really wish we could have a postive and mature attitude towards alcohol.
    That is just one thing i dislike about Ireland!

    not another one of these threads.

    I like england alot. better transport system, better infrastructure, better healthcare, better education system. People power is more in action there too. You dont see many policitians in tribunals over there.

    (what have you tried to do? so many free museums, so many cafes, restaurants, sports like hiking, cycling, sailing, car racing in Mondello). There is a massive amount of things to do, but you need to do them.

    Your reply doesn't explain why you're still here though.

    He has a point, if you hate it that much, leave.
