Ireland: No longer a country for young men?

    I passed through Dublin yesterday and I saw lots and lots of young women heading to slane but very few men. I asked myself where were all the men? I was shocked that there were very few to be seen with these gangs of women and I could only presume that most of them were at home on the dole or have left the country by now. And this got me thinking. I feel as young man in Ireland, that unless you are in employment, you have no value to society or for women for that matter. Does anyone feel the same?

    So you based this opinion on seeing a group of women heading to Slane. Ah yeah, sounds totally legit.

    Jesus.
