why the f*ck stay in ireland?

scotty_irish

most of the sh*t people bitch about on boards can be solved by getting a passport and getting the f*ck out. (if you haven't got kids). seriously tho, why the f*ck would you stay in ireland? there's a big bad world full of awesomeness out there.

I'd imagine for most it is lack of money. It's always a gamble just upping and moving. ALthough I have said on here before I don't know why more people that don't have to worry about visas etc have not applied for jobs overseas and if they get them - leave.

The whole abusing workers really pisses me off. The WPP is a prime example.

If I could, I'd be in the UK - working and actually getting PAID for it.

Plenty already have, but everywhere has it's problems, no matter where they run to.

Well then why flap your gums about it on boards.

Ireland's actually a nice place to live. A lot of people will bang on about the recession here etc... But Ireland ain't the only place that's been affected.

Day-to-day, there's food on our tables, shoes on our feet and no threat of being shot to bits or blown up.

Is Ireland the greatest place on earth? No.

Is it rated one of the best places to live on Earth. Yes.

Some people just can't see the woods for the trees is all.

It's my home and I like it and want my kids to stay here so I'll make a life for us here come what may.

There may be shoes on your feet. My shoes are holey

I've got to admit, one thing I've grown to dispise nearly as much as Ireland's drinking culture is the gung-ho attitude with regards emigration.

Don't get me wrong. I realise there are some people who feel they need to. And I realise that many young people are basically being shown the door by the government. But it freaks me how there's so many people out there quite happy to lose a generation of people through emigrations.

The number of people who have told me I should emigrate and can't understand when I say I'm perfectly happy here is shocking. Yeah, I'm unemployed but I'd rather stick it out here and work my way up the ladder than abandon the country and run away. At the end of the day, I don't mind if an individual decies to emigrate; it's their own personal decision. But I hate the fact it seems to be nearly socialy accepted and promoted that people should just bugger off and leave....

i'll clean up my own mess, but f*ck if i'll clean up someone else's.

The Grass is always greener mate. Trust me ive lived around the world for most of my life and they all have there good and bad points. If you become unemployed in a country where you are not entitled to welfare or diddly squat its a whole new ball game, and would waken up some of our "Emmigrating from Ireland /This country is a joke heros".

Yeah mate. Been there. Was up until a few weeks ago I was unemployed. Shoes were in bits too and was at my wits end. Was I moaning about leaving Ireland? No.

Wanna know why? Because that's what pussies do.

Anyone who wanted to try their luck in London, Oz or the US are gone.

Fact is, you may have bills to pay and be up **** creek. But you live in a country with a fair police force, no threat of an invasion or suicide bombings, enough food on your table and an education system in the top ten in the world. We also have high social welfare here so people are never going to starve (I'm not saying you're in receipt of it, just a point.)

Does Ireland have it's problems? Damn right it does.

But I'd prefer Ireland's problems over the EXACT SAME problems anywhere else only miles from family and friends.

I'd like to live abroad for a few years and I will. But I'll not leave Dublin Airport hating Ireland and everything in it.

It's safe to assume you're in a country ladend with debt (UK, US, basically every EU country.).

So you are cleaing up someone elses mess. You've just gone around the world to do it.

Not saying you should clean up anyones mess.

It just strikes me that there's a sense of entitlement involved; that some people look back to a few years back where everyone could get any job they want, and now times are tough, they resent having to work to make something of themselves. Yeah, times are tough in Ireland, but it's the egocentric atittudes like that which has done nearly as much damage as the stupid governments. "It's everyone's fault but mine so why should I have to help clean it up."

It's not about cleaning up a mess. It's about not giving up cause something is expected of you...

Tilt Gone

Why the f*ck wouldn't I stay in Ireland?

saa

Well seeing as I can get a birthcert off my parent I can't see me getting out of here so quickly.


Whats keeping me here, hoping to find a niche in my field of work, housing situation is okay and I'd be happy being poor as long as I can keep a roof over my head

and I suppose the fact that I could never save up to move as im living week to week comes into this equation

If you didn't want to be bitching and moaning, then starting this topic was a huge mistake since you started in post one.

And what bottomless pit, can I ask? Not being funny but I am curious as to what exactly you are refering to...

Yet you still come back posting on an Irish forum just to make some stupid point that nobody cares about. If you got out then good for you, I'm enjoying life here a lot thanks very much. Not everyone in Ireland has no prospects like you had.

Yes but his suggestion in the opening post does help these people. If people have broken their backs looking for a job here why not go to oz where jobs are plentiful, salaries are spectacular and the cost of living isn't much higher than the cost of living in Ireland. Same with London, salaries not quite as high as oz but still excellent and no shortage of jobs going there either. Plus its just 1 and a half hours on a plane from Ireland, and you've no visa issues. There are opportunities everywhere, I just don't get why so many are content to stay on the dole in Ireland. Things aren't going to pick up anytime in the next 4 years.
