    I was looking through some Garda videos on youtube and at the end of one (guards chatting to drunk auld fella in shopping trolley being pushed home) and spotted a link to www.ihateireland.com at the end. Now apparently not only does God hate us but people from other countries in general do now do too. On looking through the website there are a few valid points but a lot seem to be of the intelligence of the average youtube commenter.

    So following on from the earlier thread where many people seem to thing that we Irish are the funniest in the world, yet however it seems many have very much the opposite view of the country.

    A sample of the videos on the site.

    We have enough of an inferiority complex without been bothered to watch that. Every nation is disliked by a large number of people.

    I spotted a website for boycotting Nandos the other day. Reasons for boycotting it included the quality of chicken being crap and the service being slow. That's not boycotting, that's just choosing not to go there.

    Not Nandos?!?! Love that place

    Anyway, just find it strange that someone would take time and money to set up a hate site for our small country. In fairness we haven't done anything to warrant hatred, but I guess the word "hate" is becoming cheap these days and used for anything.

    You should watch the video link at the bottom of the OP though

    Thats what I thought. I also thought it odd that the admin would link to an irish-abroad tv website (which incidentally is hosted on the same server and was updated on the same day as the hate site... not that I'm suggesting a link between the two ;)) Considering the hostility he shows towards Ireland.

    Strange people...

    I heard about ihateireland.com and I have to say f*ck sake to the people who are actually Irish who joined up. F*cking traitors. Either way I'm not surprised, I'm sure there are ihateengland or ihateamerica websites as well. In this day in age hate has become something of casual occurrence among people and I don't mean typical hate between two people, or hate as in someone hates something, but hate as in prejudice towards certain people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,354 ✭✭✭gebbel


    In fairness to us, we're a pretty inoffensive nation so I'm surprised at some at that vitriol. The only people I have ever come into contact with who would post stuff like that about us are hardline Ulster loyalists. But who cares what they say!

    What the hell?

    1st, the website needs to be redesigned. Looks like something from the MS-DOS era.

    2nd, the website needs to mention something about the goverment.

    3rd, they need to fix up that video on the homepage.

    4th, get rid of that fat american guy. Who needs to see that on any website.

    5th, the video on how the Irish travel clearly shows two Gardai travelling in an unmarked Ford patrol car.


    Sadly, no stars for this website, what a mess.

    He is really comparing The West to Japan. Happens to be in Ireland but it is clear he means the West in general. I mean, he says he has met no Irish people.

    I would agree with most of his observations, however its most likely he never went on his Japanese diet and is still a fat western bastard. Once he gets home from his travels with his hippy beads he'll be the same as he ever was.;)

    Edit: Also, anyone who posts videos of themselves ranting on youtube, especially while they're holding the video camera up to their face is an attention whore and has something major wrong in their head.

    The guy on that video is clearly a retard:
    Pot - kettle - black. Here's why :
    I don't like people wearing skin tight revealing cloths - WTF??
    He said FAT people wearing skin tight clothes. He's right.
    Every one is fat - so is he!
    He said that.
    People in shops ignore him - I'm watching his video now, and I can understand why!
    People in shops are ignorant here. Well... they used to be. I've noticed in the last year this seems to have changed.
    Fat girls - He's not exactly Brad Pitt himself!
    He said he was fat. And frankly - on average everyone IS fat here (myself included). This is why you hear the health people going on about the obesity problem. Now if you go to Japan which doesn't have an obesity problem you will notice no fat people (and frankly everyone is a lot better looking for it).
    Edit: Also, anyone who posts videos of themselves ranting on youtube, especially while they're holding the video camera up to their face is an attention whore and has something major wrong in their head.
    Clearly, this video is addressed to someone. Also clearly he is travelling. Perhaps its to stay in touch with his friends instead of attention whoring. Just because you might be attention whoring if you were posting a video of yourself ranting on youtube does not mean everyone else is.


    So I think before you go branding people 'retards' (that in itself being an ignorant thing to do) - do you want to go away and work on your basic comprehension first ?


    Opinion Guy awaits poorly coherent come back.......

    God now I know what an English person feels like. Not.

    Seriously does anyone really care what a handful of people think? And even if these were the opinions of more people they probably aren't all that wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Pot - kettle - black. Here's why :

    He said FAT people wearing skin tight clothes. He's right.

    No - he said "people wearing skin tight cloths". He also mentions fat people wearing skin tight cloths.
    He said he was fat. And frankly - on average everyone IS fat here (myself included). This is why you hear the health people going on about the obesity problem. Now if you go to Japan which doesn't have an obesity problem you will notice no fat people (and frankly everyone is a lot better looking for it).
    My point was, it's hypocritical of him to call other people fat - when he is fat too.
    Clearly, this video is addressed to someone. Also clearly he is travelling. Perhaps its to stay in touch with his friends instead of attention whoring. Just because you might be attention whoring if you were posting a video of yourself ranting on youtube does not mean everyone else is.

    If he was addressing the video to someone, he would have left the link private, that way only the intended person would have viewed it.
    The fact that he left the video public, implies he wanted other people to view it.
    The fact that he wanted other people to view his anti-Irish (anti-western) rant, means he is an attention whore.
    So I think before you go branding people 'retards' (that in itself being an ignorant thing to do) - do you want to go away and work on your basic comprehension first ?
    I am sorry for offending you.

    No - he said "people wearing skin tight cloths". He also mentions fat people wearing skin tight cloths.
    Yes it was nevertheless obvious he meant fat people. He wasn't complaining about the skinny people wearing skin tight cloths in Japan was he ?
    My point was, it's hypocritical of him to call other people fat - when he is fat too.
    No its not. How is one fat person calling other fat people hypocritic ? Its not - at all. He even said he was going to diet. By that rational no-one could ever criticise anyone for a fault they share. It would only be hypocritical if he said "everyone else is fat but I'm not" when in fact he is (Edit: in fact that would be delusional. it would be hypocritical if he said everyone else needs to lose weight but i don't)
    If he was addressing the video to someone, he would have left the link private, that way only the intended person would have viewed it.
    The fact that he left the video public, implies he wanted other people to view it.
    The fact that he wanted other people to view his anti-Irish (anti-western) rant, means he is an attention whore.
    Really ? Well he uses someones name - he is clerly adressing it to someone. Maybe he doens't know how to make it private ? Maybe his mate or someone else spread the link.
    I am sorry for offending you.
    :D don't worry it was a cheap soht.. See I was being hypocritical there as I've surely used it myself on occasion, thou I prefer to avoid the word.
    Again, if you don't understand any of this post (I've used a lot of big words, I know), fell free to ask for help.

    I've noticed in the last year this seems to have changed.

    Less friendly Eastern Europeans?

    Yes the celtic tiger in Ireland meant less chit chat from the people in Dublin City centre, although the suburbs were ok. That may have been other peoples culture, it may have been the lack of cultural markers between the servers ( not all Irish) and the served ( not all Irish). In general these things resolve themselves over time, the US is friendly - in general - and multicultural, however I find ABC ( American born Chinese) a good deal more friendly than Chinese proper. Probably a language issue.

    Clearly Japan is different, but I have never been.

    I liked that guys rant, which was about the West in general not just Ireland. And coming from the polite Japanese society to Dublin on Paddy's day must be a shock. I avoid Paddys day like the plague.

    Remember the Japanese get shell shocked when they come to Europe - particularly France - so unfriendly do we seem to them. People are hospitalised every year because of it.

    Its not hypocritical if its true and he says I am fat too. It would only be hpyocritical if he denied he was fat himself. I see we need to review some definitions:
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrite
    gives two definitions:
    1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
    2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
    This guy is not putting on a false appearance of virtue - he admits he is fat. He also states he will diet so therefore he is not aciting in contrdiciton to his stated beliefs.
    So by definition he is not a hypocrit.

    It's obvious, we got a case of one fat guy sticking up for another :p

    I say I'm fat because I think so (and having been to Japan yes by those standards) - but people tell me I'm not so go figure. You know I was going to suggest that the reason you had such an emotional reaction to his post was because you yourself are fat and like to wear skimpy clothes, but then I thought no I won't take it down to that level - but since you've decided to ......be honest...fat rolls over your trouser line ??? Boobtube leave a 6 week imprint on your skin ??

    Eh no. Its the Irish who are the worst. In fact I take it back it hasn't changed. was just in dunnes in Stephens Green and the Irish woman that served me did not say hello, did not say goodbye, did not look at me and barely grunted in my direction.
    Clearly Japan is different, but I have never been.
    Word of advice - GO!!!!! Its awesome. Incredibly helpful, friendly and kind people and amazing country.


    Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to the gym
