The Smug Irishman

    What is it with this country.

    The irish man has been the pesant of Europe for 300 years. The EU decide to throw a few scrappings his way and now he suddently thinks he is king of the world.

    Buying "property abroad", discussing rental yields, capital appreciation and so on. Drinking lattes, eating panninis. Even look at the ads on TV showing "office banter" among would would in the past be called retards.

    It is amazing how easily he has been had. Now look at the situation, his smugness blinds him to the fact that he is being shafted at every turn.

    Any clown with a degree seems to think he is immune from being conned, which just makes him more of a pleb.

    Even look at the topics of the threads in this afterhours forum. Pure degrading trash, and the little office worker bee swallows the lot, and whats more he/she has this recently developed social conscience. They want to save the whales, for fcuk sake if you are dumb enough to buy bottled water they will contribute 10 litres to africa for every litre you buy. What tatter.

    The social engineers have a prime example of their trade in the "new" irish man.

    A disgrace.

    So? that doesn't matter. most of us only known a life of priviledge (sp) so yeah, why should we expect less. What happened in generations gone by has no major effect on what goes on today.

    Anyone who believes in "race memory" is an idiot!:mad:

    (kind of off topic, but i love a good rant!):rolleyes:

    So what's new about idiocy? It's been here forever and it'll outlast religion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 871 ✭✭✭gerTheGreat


    OP,
    Why so angry? :confused: Everyone is different. :) What's wrong if people have money to spare? It beats having to scrape around for money for the baby's milk, doesn't it? Stop for a second, take a deep breath and really tell us what's bothering you. :) No one will listen, hell they'll even rip the piss out of you, but at least you would come across as someone who is hurt rather than a looney bitch. Maybe a brief spell in PI or a padded cell may help.

    Have a great day and hope you feel better real soon,
    Ger

    You are spot on. We should go back to the days of **** all money and ridiculous unemployment levels.

    I've always wondered what would happen if you just wrote a bot to trawl something pathetic like livejournal or DevientArt for the most half assed, innane, juvenile scribblings it could find and then had it post them on a forum for all to see.

    And now i know.

    The fighting irish, more fight in a dead dog.

    QUOTE]
    The ' fighting irish ' slogan was used to beef up the courage of the irish who were figting in the american cival war .

    it was also adoted by hollywood when ever they needed an 'irish' angle in their war films .


    The british also adopted it as a way of describing the irish when they were trying to recruit irishmen into the British army . The 'big drinkers ' tag also entered the equation and the ' fighting big drinking irishman ' sterotype entered folkore around the world .

    Some even bought into and believed this sterotype not helped by the fact that some irish tried or felt they had to live up to up to it ,the sterotype that is ;)

    "You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your ****ing khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
