No.
I genuinely want to know how you can stay in this country for that long without having an overwhelming urge to kill yourself.

Next month.

Blaming the entire country for life in a ****ty town/village - check.
Won't leave - check.

In general I disagree, some parts are better than others.
Some parts are even really nice.

no you are

enjoy your lives drinking in a ****ty bar from 9am till late

the fate that waits for every Irish person.

Problems we have here are only a product of the life you choose to live. I'm sure a hippy not too far from you has a very different pov on life in this country. It's just what you choose to do with it that makes a difference, not where you go to do it!

Ive been away on college placement in Holland for the last 5 months. Going home for a week on tuesday, and genuinally cannot wait to get back. I've been excited about coming home for weeks aswell.

Ireland is brilliant!

I don't drink.

Get a hobby or something, try and improve your own life rather than complaining. If you just sit around moaning then I'm not surprised that you're unhappy.

ah don't forget that freedom to vote one is a bit pointless

they'll just hold the referendum or election again and again until they get the result they want.

Education? you're having a laugh aren't ya?
Work? Really?


Scenery it has going for it alright.
the people? lol./

Naming any place that's worse does not take away from just how shít the current place is.

Well fúck off somewhere else then and leave it to us who love it

Archeron

I love Ireland. I dont love some of the shenanigans that have happened lately, but I still think its a beautiful country, and would never want to leave it.

Shiner11

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Even I used to think this country was a ****hole when i was around 15 and i couldnt wait to leave. Now I'm halfway through college and the job prospects aren't looking great but I really hope I don't have to emigrate. I've some great friends here and its a lovely little country to be honest with the possible the nicest people you'll meet anywhere.

OP best of luck where ever your emigrating to, but don't ever diss where you come from.

OOOOOHHHHHH Who's a moaning Michael then? Let's have a screaming competition.

Statistician

Things that I hate about this Shíthole:

1. The weather. It's constantly freezing and raining. The worst for me is the constant dreary, drudging, grey skies.
2. Corrupt and/or inept politicians or the 1% and the the people that vote for Fail Gael. Seriously, what's wrong with people? Why do people accept this crap?
3. The grinding depression. Job losses, bust developers getting €200k, the IMF, no future
4. The future has been sold out. Things are only going to get worse. This is just the beginning - just wait until the real cuts and tax hikes kick in.
5. I'm self employed, but get treated like a criminal by the Revenue. They've just sent me a fine for paying VAT 'late'. I always pay VAT the same time every year, for the last ten years. The full amount owing. This year they fine me 10 months later. I hate them. It's making me look at how to close the company down and relocate to somewhere that wants to promote jobs.
6. Let's face it. Ireland is backward.

Jesus, what a fúcking drama queen!
If you want to emeigrate to better yourself or just for the craic or whatever your reasons are, best of luck to you.
No need to throw a tantrum on your way out the door.
I'd recommend a change of attitude in your new country of residence, or you'll find that's a shíthole too.

Nice post. Why do I get the feeling that when you do emigrate that you will end up spending most of your spare time in an Irish pub talking to the other Irish lads about home!

Start afresh in R&R (or find an existing "I hate this country" thread there) if you want OP, this isn't going anywhere good.
