Why are we(the irish) so dirty

dbnavan

I had guests in my home for the last month from america and they were telling their one complaint about ireland is the dirt of it, and you know what they are right... I went to the FAS oppertunities show in croke park recently and i found myself wading through papers and leaflets people had left after their ar$e.

I saw two kids today fcuk chip bags on the ground when they were finished. The comment has made me alot more concious of something I do automatically ie Find a Bin, but its amazing when you are aware of it and watch people, who expect people to clean up after them

flanum

thats a sweeping statement!

We are a bunch of over mammied peasants.
It makes me cringe.

Sir Oxman

Yes.
We are a shower of dirty, wasteful nobs.
We are dirtbags and yes I have witnessed it first hand...how many of 'us' could admit we contribute to the flow of constant **** streamed live every day

It's awful

(though Americans can fcuk right off in relation to absolutely everything ever said/done/implemented...nobs)

I spend quite a bit of time in America, my wife is American, and whatever the Irish can say about them(Not getting it, plenty of other threads related to it, on which I defend them) they are alot cleaner.

I don't know about Irish society as a whole, but Yore Ma certainly is dirty

But does compensate for being THICK about most global matters?

(mmmm, a bit manky versus total dipsticks-which-affects-everybody-on-the-planet-ever)

I know which I'd prefer (hello manky, skanger!)

I'm being facetious now but you get my smelly drift.

Order. House. In. Your. Get.

Then worry about a gum wrapper.

Oh. I didn't realise we were discussing the sanitary habits of Whoever/If Ever the man on the Moon was/Bill Gates and the fantastical CreditCard Ambulance Service of the USA.

Yes, please don't lose it.

Correct.
Maybe our streets are smaller or something and it's more noticeable or the alternative is we (as a NATION) are literally, dirtbags.

I think we may be dirtbags. Overall.

(At least we aren't Amer...oops)

flanum

at least we dont feckin dump our rubbish in outer space/on the moon!

or even create an island solely made of rubbish!!

It amazing....if I hadnt mentioned that the comment came from Americans we might have had some sort of disscussion but as is evident from every other thread on boards as soon as Americans or The US are mention people loose the fcukin plot. And the actual topic of the thread is lost. Its like school children resorting to "Yore ma", in a argument because they cant come up with an intellegent retort quick enough.
Dont know why I bother with it sometimes. As someone who was brought up living in Ireland, Moved to America, moved back again, married an american. I can see both sides of the agruement, and as soon as I can afford it, I will have no hesitation of moving to the states, as after seeing both sides of the agruement and living in both societies I know which I would prefer to raise my kids in.

Most people in Ireland who slag off americans have never been there and judge it by what the media portray which is not always the representive of the average american.

Yep, if there's one thing Irish people hate more than themselves, it's Americans. :pac:

Littering creates employment... I'm pleased to see everyone is doing their bit.
It's much faster than finding a bin too.
Once I'm finished eating a bag of chips, sure what would I want the empty bag for? I let the wind whisk it away to start a new life somewhere else.
Ah the circle of life.

Attn dbnavan: You should probably stop taking posts in AH so seriously or you will have a stroke or something.

Yes Ireland is pretty littered but on the whole I think things have improved over the last few years, still you notice a huge difference when you go abroad.

flanum

he probably wont read that last reply, hes probably on a planr right now to get away from the country he so obviously hates in order to get tp the country he so obviously loves! i know i would be if i was in his shoes! (if i didnt dirty them with my stinking irish feet first)!

Terry

flanum, stop trolling.
