Ah

estebancambias

Can boards please ban anyone who every time a thread about Ireland comes up write about how **** is.

Of course I'm banned from AH, but I take offense to people insulting where I'm from, with seemingly their reasons being

1. Women aren't hot here....
2. theres nothing to do(shut the **** up you lazy ****, and play some ****ing tennis) I bet these assholes were sitting inside today with the sun beaming
3. ''the prices, they are so high'' so is your ****ing pay cheque douchebag. Go live in ****ing Libera if you wan't to buy stuff cheap
4. scumbags----hahah these idiots think that Ireland has the worst and in some cases the only country with scumbags. I remember some idiot saying he loved France because of its relaxed atmosphere, has this dumbass ever lived in Paris, or even stayed in the place for more than 2 days? Much more rushed than here....its not all about eating flaming baguettes moron
5. the healthcare---yeah like some nerd can't afford a hospital bill
6. public transport--walk in tubby....its really not that bad anyway its just way too predictable

So yeah I'm sorry but After Hours pisses me off(the anti-irish ones) that is. I have no problem people saying well I feel ireland has gotten a bit stale. going to go try something else, and hopefully when I return i can love MY COUNTRY.

this rant was needed to clear my system.

Good night folks.

People go on rants, big whoop. If you don't like the thread or the forum pisses you off so much then don't read it. Seeing as you'd have to log out to read the forum you'd save yourself a lot of hassle by not reading after hours. Also please tell me why we should entertain feedback from someone who is perma banned from there for consistent trolling?

estebancambias

I would have said yes, but then I saw your location...there seemed to be a bit of disdain for your hometown.

-Freebird-

Haha... I'll take that one on the chin steve, but only because I lolled.

estebancambias, I like the country, ever been to Dundawwwk?

Everyone knows the irish love to slag everything, there wasn't a hope in hell in getting a mass crowd of patriots here. it's too much fun to take the piss. I love my country, but the best thing about it is that it doesn't take itself seriously at all

Oh I don't mind the odd rant......far from it, but when people go out to belittle where I'm from, it annoys me.

Meh some threads on AH interest me. For example the Roma thread was an interesting read, or even the midnight snack for that matter.

Your last question? Tell me why you shouldn't accept feedback?

Obviously you can't ban them for voicing their opinion, but everytime I see a thread about Ireland on AH its the same thing.

Firstly can I ask what you di to get banned from AH?

Anyways I agree with your first 3 points. (I think Irish women are pretty damn good in general! )

Scumbags - I've never seen anyone say that scumbags don't exist in other countries. There are probably scumbags in every country, but that doesn't mean we can't complain about the ones we're stuck with here. Scumbags pollute the human genepool so of course there's gonna be threads bashing them. Most people in AH have the right idea about 'em too tbh.

Health Service - well it is pretty shambolic. And not everyone can afford healthcare, as you seem to think. I'm lucky coz I have a medical card, but the cut-off point for it is rather low. A lot of people probably do struggle to pay for operations and stuff.

Overall I wouldn't describe AH as being particularly "anti-Irish". People in general just love complaining, and if there's nothing to complain about they invent problems. Hell I do it all the time!

Meh... We Irish love to complain. But you'll probably find its because we're all pretty fond of the country too. We have every right to moan about how its bein run by a bunch of muppets who think its ok to let people die on trollies/let hoodied youths run amok/*insert random liveline-esque twaddle here*.

Its what we do. If you don't like it, piss off to France...:p

Ok I can accept the Healthcare and Transport. For a majort city Dublin is lacking in a top notch transport system but we can't get upset over these things, especially since there is something been done as we speak.

About the Healthcare, my problem is people tend to cite Sweden and Denmark as being so great but the WHO(I think, something like that) placed Ireland above these two in relation to Healthcare.

Remember I don't mind people faulting the country...I wish we had better infrastructure in Dublin city...but saying that other countries are better without any understanding of that country annoys me.


I must say I'm sort of happy be responses. I was expecting volatile feedback, so it brings me joy that I didn't(yet)

So you want us to ban people because they annoy you. If we banned people because they annoyed someone the place would be pretty quiet. Why should we not accept feedback from you? Well because your contributions to the forum were mainly troublesome (hence the perma ban).

Don't get me wrong here I'll gladly listen to any feedback from anyone (that's why I'm reading this thread) but given the fact that your presence in after hours was so negative that it warranted a perma ban then I would understand a moderator not bothering to listen to you.

Pretty good reason to be honest, but that was so long ago now. If you were a heroin addict and you recovered, you wouldn't bring up the faults of their heroin addiction after they have recovered, surely?


The title of this place is Feedback, right? So I'm just giving my feedback to a trend I see on Boards from time to time.

Do you have much understanding of the country outside of Dublin? Do you realise what sort of "infrastructure" we have here in the west?

Not everyone on Boards is from Dublin so I think that you should expect a lot more complainin' tbh...

But I don't actually mean people have to care in that sort of way. Its not a Nationalist thing I'm talking about, just simply liking where you come from, and if not have a good exuse for not liking it.

For example, someone really likes good all year round weather, they move to a country which can meet their needs.

Have to say I agree with esteban on the original post! If you've got a problem with Ireland get the f*ck out of the country,stop moaning and do something about it! There's a Slovakian who works with me and all he does is give out about it,and I'm sick of it! He is here along with most eastern Europeans cause there want to earn money because it's not possible in their country,so be grateful that your been given the chance to earn what's considered a huge sum at home and keep your mouth shut!

It's a well known of fact that 31 out of the 32 counties are pretty shite.

So what you're effectively saying, is ban everyone who disagrees with you and isn't afraid to criticise...?

If you see the Africans who come here, they actually do assimiliate.

For example a Senegal couple live beside me, and the first thing I said to them was..''the weather is fairly ****''....the guy replies...''eh, i don't mind the rain''

Then on the FA Cup final day he strolled in with chicken wings and BBQ burgers....a top lad.

''Isn't afraid to criticise''.....this isn't Germany circa 1939.

I'm saying criticise to your little hearts content if it brings you happiness, but please realise that the grass isn't always greener.

Plus criticising brings progress in some cases, so if you have the right reason then please do.


But more or less that is exactly what I'm saying. LIKE IT or LUMP IT. I'm sure there are plenty who would actually want to move to this country willing to replace you(general)

Don't get me wrong I agree with him to a certain degree on that point but telling us to ban people because they say that is just laughable.

Ok a bit extreme to be banning people! But there's way to much sh1t about the health system and transport on boards. Like,what's talking/moaning/bitching bout it here going to do?!....nothing! It's pointless and is aggrevating for people...and it's understandable!

I didn't mean it was the Mods obligation or Duty to ban them. This is what I would do, but luckily for some I am not in a position to enforce rules. I was giving Feedback as I say to what seems to be popping up every now and then.

Ah come on, every country has it's problems. LIKE IT or LUMP IT is a way too simplistic approach to take.
So a few people bitch about the Govt.and moan about scumbags etc. - that doesn't mean they'd love to emigrate to Scandanavia if they got a chance!

Most people love their country, but no-one loves everything about their country.

Boards is like having a conversation with friends. People rant in real life they'll rant here. It's human nature.

You said "Can boards please ban anyone who starts these threads" (I paraphrased a little there). That to me says you would like the rules to change so it sounds like you think it should be the mods duty to ban these people.

2 - People in Berlin DO more than just go to the pubs.
3 - People in Berlin don't think I'm pervert pecause I paint naked women
4 - People in Berlin don't think I should be banned from opening my mouth if I criticise the locla community.

Mr.Nice Guy

I've come to accept that AH is full of self-loathing begrudgers who spew hate and vitriol as much as possible.

There's a lot of good eggs don't get me wrong, but it seems to me the place is now populated with Kevin Myers types who try to find fault with everything.

Examples:

'What's with Romanians?' - cue some xenophobic/traveller bashing

'Do you believe in God?' - cue those who do being abused and vice versa.

'A scumbag stole my phone' - cue a debate/flame war on the state of society

'Should abortion be legalised' - cue a whole load of sh*t hitting the fan.

Honestly, the place has become a big turn-off for me. It's like the web version of the Joe Duffy show.

I have the utmost respect for the mods on that forum because it must be an absolute mindf*ck to deal with. I don't know how they cope with it. Probably via large amounts of booze I imagine.

That's what makes it entertaining! If everyone agreed and got along, it would be a much duller place.
