    You have been to Louth, haven't you?

    Just out of interest, how many counties in the country have you actually been to?

    Galway people are always jolly and giddy. I like them.

    Kerry people are easy to talk to as well, and friendly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭KylieWyley


    Armagh.
    The people up there are a BLAST.

    Them all. thanks for asking. Yes, Louth is a complete kip, and unfriendly but it terms of open-mindedness, ie, do what you want, be who you want, we dont give a toss, Louth is second only to lovable Clare. capiche?

    Have to with Galway too. I think it's the ONLY openminded county in the country. Would have said Cork, too, if it wasn't for the we made the country, so we should be the capital stuff.

    Generally speaking, bigger cities tend to be more openminded than small towns and counties.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Well people should be accepted. People are people they should be accepted, not tolerated. Who ever associated the word tolerance with people is a person who doesn't have it right. If he/she was a minority or different how would he feel if people had to tolerate him/her. When ever i hear the word 'tolerate' i think of people putting up with violence and crime.

    Donegal and most of the northern counties like Armagh and Derry are open minded and so is Galway. Dublin is probably the most racist county in Ireland because of the population and social problems. I remember during the summer coming back to Dublin from a weekend in Galway. I wasn't 10 minutes in Dublin until i heard a man calling a black guy the 'n' word. Galway is very different from Dublin, it's hard to believe the two cities are the same country.

    Why do people keep posting these threads pitting counties against each other in irreconcilable, petty little contests? What is this shti? It's fukcing pathetic and I'm sick of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    Its multicultural hence people are more tolerant of each other.

    Why 'hence'?

    If there are more paedophiles and rapists in the world, does that mean tolerance amongst the remaining population is increasing?

    I love Mayo people. They wave at you when you drive past whether they know you or not, they speak with a lovely soft accent, they always offer you a bite to eat when you visit and are good for a laugh.

    Most open minded county: Dublin

    Friendliest County: Kilkenny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,883 ✭✭✭smokedeels


    In my experience, Galway.

    How exactly do you measure the open mindedness of a county??!!

    I was in Waterford once and an aul one said the use of condoms is wrong. Does that bring them down in the open mindedness rankings!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭Fight_Night


    Dublin obviously. Dublin is the best at everything...

    Yep, its pretty pathetic, but thats what people do. They have one or 2 pleasant/unpleasant encounters, then find out the country they were in and then deem every single other person within that region as being identical. The second your foot crosses a certain border you can expect either a stabbing or a friendly hello.:rolleyes:

    It reminds me of secondary school, a lad would go off with some young one from a parituclar girls school and then it is gospel -every girl from Lorreto is a fucking dirty slut. Some other lad gets nowhere -every girl from that school is a tight frigid bitch.
