Its only a **** hole if the general population refuse to take the steps that can bring the changes.

We did it 100 years ago, why cant we do it again.

I find life tends to seem worse when you spend your days moaning about it.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life... [/FONT]

If you see the bad in everything you'll never be happy.

There are a lot of great things about Ireland too, but we all take those for granted.

I like Ireland and I like it's people.

OK, we have our problems but so do other countries, many of them much greater than ours. All in all I think this is a great little country and having lived and worked in many others over the years, I am happy here back home.:D

Its a rip off

I don't think Ireland is s**thole - we just have a lot of crap in it too sadly.

lucky-colm

i wouldn't mind this sh!thole if:

1: i was allowed to drink a bust of pints and drive my car home everynight

2: had a job that pays 1000 levers a week

3: that the said job wouldn't mind if i was as sick as a small hospital every day

4: the wife wouldn't rear every time i tore the side of the car when driving home with one eye closed and the other squinted

5: there was a crowd in the pub every night

tinkerbell88

Lads, to be fair, it could be worse - we could be living in England! Now thats a ****hole. Full of ****heads. Ive ived in both countries, in rural areas,suburbs and cities in both countries and id never live in England again. And the men are better looking here too

Its nicer then Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Chad, Congo, Cuba, China, India oh the list goes on reallly. Look at this way we may have a lot of problems but a least we have a forumn to compain about them.

paddydriver

There is a simple reply to the OP - if you don't like it then get the fcuk out... we live in an open Europe - you can take your passport and go whinge in another country:D Then you might realise Ireland is not the worst of them.

And, if you're sponging off the system then leave the door open after you and maybe a few more spongers can leave with you and together we can reduce unemployment and the burden on social welfare.

Hey... no offence intended:D If I did not have 2 kids, one on the way, 2 dogs.. a few houses, few cars ... Oh, and a wife... then I would be gone too. But, I am Irish so all about comes as part of the bargain.

Ok,

Lets form a Boards.ie Political Party. Lets run candidates in the next election. Lets then, once elected, do another round of benchmarking in the Public Sector. Lets then undertake 6 Sigma projects accross all sectors of Government and Government run Companies. Lets then work on the Judicial system. Remove concurent sentencing, introduce zero tollerence. Then lets move to Public transport - allow competition on all bus/rail routes. Then we can ban trade unions - workers will be protected by employment law. Education - seperate state and religion. Children should not be allowed to be baptised until they are 16 and can make up their own mind.

Ireland is like a woman's body.

If you have loads of money it's wide open, warm, welcoming and a great place to be. You'll even have some great places to rest your head.

If your broke however, it is closed shut tight, cold and a decidingly miserable place to be.

Exactly!! How can Ireland be a sh*thole when we have all of these?

I loved booing Cat Stevens too

I might remove Gerry Ryan though. I'm not a big fan of his.

Meh, it's a kip cuz we (well, not me anyways, I just drank my money away) indulged ourselves during the good years and now the reality is hitting us.

I came out of college just before the country fell apart, got a good job but was laid off 11 months later

Over-experienced and now have to get certificates proving I can already do something cuz nobody will hire me without them :mad:

Bah, I'm just miserable cuz a girl I know got a job I applied for, got fired a few weeks later, walked into a music shop I threw a C.V. into a few days earlier, asked for a job and she was given one right there on the spot.

:mad::mad::mad:

I still prefer to live here than anywhere else, though.

Yes. I'm sort of like Christopher Nolan, I have to hold a pen in my mouth and tap the keys with that.

I do it cause I'm lazy though, not cause of any physical condition. I'm normally scratching myself or playing Xbox while typing on boards.

As we were saying ... as a foreigner, Ireland has a couple of peculiarities that stand out to me. There seems to be an unjustified streak of pseudo-intellectualism here - though it might seem worse to me because I'm studying at UCD. I don't know the exact figure, but something like 4/5 of students there are doing Arts, many just because they can (free fees and patient parents). They will leave university after four years with a grand liberal Arts education, educated up to the eyeballs in Beckett, Joyce, and how evil the British are, but unable to actually do anything, because Leaving Cert Maths put them off anything "techie" for life. Yet Ireland is supposed to become a beacon of technical excellence in Europe? :cool:

Mr.S wrote: »

Me. Why? Well because Irish countryside/rural still maintains more of the traditional sense of Irish identity that made the country so unique. But then along came the Celtic Tiger and changed everything, making the urban lifestyle the dominant form of living, which IMO, is horribly dull and monotonous, with less human interaction. Rural living allows for a more relaxed lifestyle, nobody too big for their boots, stronger sense of community spirit...characteristics that Ireland always had, but are now largely lost unfortunately.

The Island of Ireland is a mini Eden, we get no extremes relative to other countries. The people are sound it's just the people running the country are ****heads. That's the only bad thing about Ireland.

ARGH what are you doing depressing us on this miserable evening?! :eek:
Everything you say is true though...sigh

I also hate: the lack of animal welfare bill (well the fact that our existing one is outdated and never implemented anyway), our healthcare system, our educational system (other europeans put us to shame with their multilingual ability), the divide between north and south, dublin and the rest of the country, south dublin and north dublin God everyone hates everyone!

Edit: also annoyingly chirpy concern workers who want to fleece us
