Are Irish people obsessed with money?

When there's a recession in other countries do people make such a big fucking deal of it as if the world is about to end?

I'm not. To avoid getting obsessed with it I make a point of spending it on shiny things within seconds.

abi2007 · 03-12-2008 5:40pm

I LOVE money! Love spending it!

Yes they are. So is most of the world. Us Irish just tend to give out more.

I just picked up my obsession from Spike Lee movies and mediocre R'N'B songs.

"I gots to get paid"

"Gotta have a J-O-B if you wanna get with me"

"Ain't nuthin' going on but the rent"

etc. etc. etc.

Pighead has enough money to last him for the rest of his life.
That's assuming he gets killed next Wednesday.

Professey Chin · 03-12-2008 6:50pm

That depends.
How much is my opinion worth to you???

deleriumtremens · 03-12-2008 6:54pm

Ahhh money!! Good ol' modern day token of recipricol altruism!

Morrisseeee · 03-12-2008 7:13pm

The Human race is actually a parasite, a virus dominating and eating up the Earth ! In doing so they are, by nature, a Greedy bug ! The Irish are Human, so yeah - by association, they are obsessed with money, but also everything else aswell !

Ireland's well boring now that we're rich. All people talk about are their SUV's and Sky boxes. Meh.

I say, bring back drinking tea out of jam jars and coats instead of blankets on beds.

We might have something interesting to talk about then, when we're not soobsessed with material things.

Holsten · 03-12-2008 7:47pm

I'm Irish, and a person, and I am obessed with money.

So yes.

themadchef · 03-12-2008 8:00pm

Money? pfft, any old egit can get their hands on money.

I'm obsessed with pighead.....

Scruff · 03-12-2008 8:06pm

SHOW ME THE MOOOOONNEEEEYYYYYY!!!

ShagNastii · 03-12-2008 8:15pm

Money is great though? When people say money can't buy you happiness! If I got €10 million I would guarantee I would probably die of happiness whilst trying to spend it all.

Money can only make you so happy though ShagNastii. Money can buy you a lovely little pedigree puppy but only love can make the wee fella wag that little tail.
