Limerick's Perceived Image

But when it comes to the self. We squirm like cowards. So yeah its exactly why people are in the comfort zone putting the focus on negative issues that exist "out there" "over there" " " on the news" "In Limerick" " In the crecent" " They made me do it" " I hate this place" " My sister made me do it"

When negative issues are the every day reality of one's existence, when such issues are prevalent in one's immediate locality, and when those with the power, resources and authority to deal with such issues repeatedly fail to do so, any "comfort zone" will be a welcome one. This forum is one such facility. The irony of you failing to recognise this is becoming increasingly frustrating. People in this city rarely have the opportunity to air their views on controversial issues because of the very issue they decry: crime and intimidation in their home town.

But when someone comes on and reads this page they would be seeing just how many people are just been negative and unhappy in general. They need to get a good rant out of bringing a city down with them.

You don't seem to be able to grasp the fact that crime, violence and intimidation all produce perfectly natural reactions such as the anger and fear so clearly expressed in this thread. These things are happening in our locality, near our homes, in the places where we socialise and live our lives. I think it is perfectly reasonable for people who feel negatively impacted by such events to react with "negative" emotions. That is the natural process of dealing with problematic or upsetting situations.

Each city has positive and negatives. Am I the only here you can see this?

You are not the only one who can see that. However, you are one of several who has failed to accept the reality of what is being discussed in this thread. This is the Limerick City forum. Discussion in here will quite likely focus on topics to do with Limerick City. This thread houses a discussion on the negative aspects of Limerick. You have no right to tell us not to talk about those things.

Denying the immediacy of the problems at hand is insulting to those who suffer and have suffered in the past. I would also argue that ignoring a problem can lead to its dangers become more of a threat, rather than the opposite as you suggest.

It's frustating because your unable to dicern.

Why because I'm going to embolden this. I'm so freaking glad you said it.

To cut the elaboration of words. I'm going to translate this into real meaning. This quote of yours simply means. I live in a negative reality. I have a negative frame of mind and everything around me is negative. I need to blame somebody. Oh yes the powers of be. Let's ask others to take responsiblity for how we feel inside. If we feel like exploding lets bitch about it.

You can sing and dance all the way to the grave and twist this around. But sooner or later your going to wake up and smell morning coffee and realise its you who has to change not the world.

I mean you come on here and make a pathetic attempt to try turn this into something hideous but the truth is. Negativity leads to more of it. If your going to condole it, then your contributing to it. I have nowhere told anyone not to be negative. I merely pointed out that balance is what we should be striving for. How many more pages of negativity do we need

to get the "hint" "Or drop the penny"

Take responsibility for reality or remain stuck in the old negativity game.

Of course now that your aware, how should we deal with crime and violence, by reacting and going around screaming and yelling over and over Coming on threads and rant on for 10 pages?. Stomping our feet bitching all day. 11 pages later you come on say we need to address this feed this issue more? Lmao. Seriosuly just stop and think. Please.

If I didn't contribute as other people who are trying to give more balance to this thread, this thread would get locked like the others as it would just end up with another rant and fit with no solutions to the problem.

You are not the only one who can see that. However, you are one of several who has failed to accept the reality of what is being discussed in this thread. This is the Limerick City forum.

I can see the reality. I can see both sides, however In my opinion your becoming extremely unaware to say the least of how hypocritical your coming across. You say your aware of positivity and negativity. But your not you don't understand how they work in reality and how manifestation works. You can't even see balance as your so hellbent on the bitchfest. I never told anyone not to talk about anything. Please try not to make this topic personal and with childish accusations. It is important that we look at balance. With all respect due please.

You can Keep defending whatever you like, you will end up chasing your tail.

Denying the immediacy of the problems at hand is insulting to those who suffer and have suffered in the past. I would also argue that ignoring a problem can lead to its dangers become more of a threat, rather than the opposite as you suggest.

I never denyed the reality or the problems.

Infact it was you who first came on this thread and took a shot at me, calling me naive and told others to ignore me.

You should re read your own posts.:)
I think I don't need to even make a judgement at this rate your that unaware.:rolleyes:

I wil make my point again. If you want to keep bitching about these problems remember the ones ignoring the reality is you. Because your not facing up to it and coming up with solutions.

I just want to make this point clear. It seems to me that some people are either ignoring the points are just are just not reading the lines.


Positive thinking leads to a positive reality.
Negative thinking leads to a negative reality.

This is the fact. This thread will continue on forever if some people think that re hashing and re running the problems over and over seems to make them go away are really fooling themselves.

Reality consist of a world that exist on polarity. This is reality. I don't know what your trying to get across and it's obviously going nowhere. It's the same BS that keeps all stuck in the BS we can't face. Turning this negative reality into a more positive one. Now if you don't want that I'm ok with that. If you dissagree I'm ok with that too. I can accept both sides and take both sides as this is balance brought forward.

If you want to continue airing that the dirty laundry that is still not washed.


It's stil going to be there the next morning when you wake up. So you can keep saying that we need to keep talking about these issues. I think its time we did less talking and more action.

Positive thinking leads to a positive reality.
Negative thinking leads to a negative reality.

You can think all the positive thoughts you want, but it does not take away from the fact that limerick has some serious issues.
And all the positive thinking in the world will not fix those issues.

Discussions like these can lead to solutions - we're looking....Thats positive

Everything starts with thought..............

I just cannot understand how people can't see the obvious. It's just frightening. Thoughts is matter. Everything around you is "matter". Actions begin with thoughts.

If you want a positive reality. You make it happen. Whether you realise it or not.

Limerick is a negative place because of the corruption in the city over the years with bad planning and no proper housing facilities for people who need homes, so they dumped them in Moyross, Southill with no proper facilities of any sort. As people became repressed and separated from society they turn onto each other. The negative forces work. Over generations it just fed more of it, to what you have as ganglands.


It takes one to break that cycle.



I don't see anyone in Limerick able to do that. After reading 17 pages. We are focused on the ranting. I think its time we see more action and less of the ranting now.


We have to start somewhere. Can we do it. I cant see many people facing up to it, but hey prove me wrong....


And yes the problems of the world can be solved with simple positive thoughts. It may not be overnight. But this formula does work. Most peope are asleep they don't realise just how powerful thoughts and awareness really is.

It was 17 pages of constant bitching imo.

I am not the only one here who gave more balance, awareness and solutions to the actual problem. There was others but I think they left. While I stuck by my guns and took the bull by the horns.

It has gone so ridicoulous, the topic becomes idiotic, like "look at his backyard syndrome" Pointing fingers is not getting anywhere. Maybe I'm a fool to keep trying. I think this is my final words on this. It seems most people on this thread want to live in the comfort of the negativity and refrain from changing their ways and reality. I have no issue with that, I just have a hard time with people who BS around this problem and passing the blame onto others.

Limerick problems are overly exasperated imo. That is my opinion though. I've been to cities abroad and my god it travelling is real education.

The truth is Irish people are a nation of moaners. I don't know who said we are among the happiest in Europe. But I would love to get my housemates and read 17 pages of this.

I used a methaphor.

Airing dirty laundry, means exposing all your life problems to the world. But you do nothing about it.

It's still going to be there in the morning.

That makes no sense, scumbags will still be in Limerick tomorrow, nothing much we can do about it short of rounding them up and firing them into space, now theres an idea...
