Irish People LOVE the recession

    Does anyone else think that Irish people really love the recession??? Seriously... we NEVER stop talking about how terrible it is, or how miserable we are now.

    Before you start shouting at me calling me an idiot and giving me the obligitory hardship stories about being out of work etc (which would be kind of ironic in the context of this topic) let me explain myself.

    Over the past few months I have been in several different countries, all of whom have been hit in some way by the global recession. But there is one huge difference in these places = the people don't really talk about it, they just get on with their lives! While here in Ireland, every current affairs program for the past 2 years has been dominated by the Irish economy, the hardship, the banks etc... These programs wouldn't choose such topics if they weren't ratings winners! Irish people just love it!! When is the last time you have spoken to an Irish person without some mention of Brian Cowen, the economy, how Fianna Fail screwed it up, the bankers, anglo Irish, Prime Time, the Front Line, riots, public service pay cuts, job cuts, tax rises, pay cuts in general, how people who leave your workplace aren't being replaced...the list goes on and on.

    Seriously, does anyone else think Irish people LOVE the recession. We love making out that our lives are hell when we really should be just getting on with it. Sorting out ourself and accept that its going to take time to make things right and stop bitc*ing about it NIGHT AND DAY!!
