People who try to emmigrate

Rabidlamb

How bloody dare you, the rest of us here suffering & off you pop to Bondi beach.
If I'm going to ride out this miserable recession then so are you.
The Irish used to take pride in our poverty & lack of hope for the future, it defined us as a people.
Having nothing to look forward to is an Irish way of life.

So put away your backpacks & stop visiting your job fares, the ship is going down & we want you all on-board.

But if you shoot people in front of their families ,you might hit their families too.

Bit of a masochist, OP?

Sell your ass for a few months OP then you might scrape together the funds to get in.

Go on, shoot your slings & arrows, I can take it cause I'm Irish.
I was born with a bollock proof neck ready for nothing but hardship.
It's in my genes, we're altogether on this lads, shoulder to shoulder.

In a way I agree with the OP although shooting them...really....a little harsh do you not think? It's up to us to make this country what we want it to be...we might be broke and not have the latest 4x4 but we can still have the craic..and we have each other:D


*Although I know the hardship of people with families etc. who have to emigrate:(, but the young ones just going to feck round bondi, thats not hardship:rolleyes:


Ireland used to be a great little country, now no one can see past getting to the nearest airport and getting out of here as quick as possible.:(

Ah yeah, everyone except the bankers, builders, ministers, developers, those on the dole, those who aren't on the dole, those who want their bailout, public sector, private sector... whatever.

All in this together my bollix.

"People who try to emmigrate should be shot, in front of their families", you say.

They tried that policy in the German Democratic Republic for years. In the long run, it didn't work. I don't think it would work in Ireland, either. Besides, it would be bad for tourism and inward investment.:D

By the way, there only one "m" in emigrate, but two in immigrate. Sorry to sound like a grammar nazi.:):)

So because I haven't a family I should hang on here and be taxed to death to pay for other people's mortgages? **** that!

You fail in your own logic. It should be, "There is only one "m" in emigrate, but two in immigrate.

Get back to dasboot camp, and learn to grammar nazi properly.

You sound like one we could loose.
Make many Canadian babies & send them home when the time is right to pay 50%+ tax.
Now we don't want them too young when they'll clog up our education system.

I say throw them on a boat and set them into the atlantic with loads of ice and the only the soundtrack to " My heart will go on" by Celine Dion to listen to on infinite loop until they freeze to death from the merciless waters and see how they like it then.

The Irish immigrated to countries years ago. When the ship was sinking years ago, you just jumped off and swam to America. This fighting Irish is nonsense to be honest.

I'll just leave some historical data here.

One of the most obvious effects of the famine was emigration. Although the famine itself probably resulted in about 1 million deaths, the resultant emigration caused the population to drop by a further 3 million. About 1 million of these are estimated to have emigrated in the immediate famine period, with the depression that followed continuing the decline until the second half of the 20th century. These migrants largely ended up in North America, with some in Australia and in Britain.

Source-http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/users/ireland/past/famine/emigration.html

In the 12 months leading up to April of 2010, over 65,000 people left Ireland, a similar level to the 70,600 people who emigrated in 1989, when unemployment stood at 18 percent.

Not sure when this time of Irish people taking pride in the poverty was.

Sure we will have their fecking grandsons coming back to our towns, taking our women, drinking our drink and trying to tarmacadam our lovely fields.

aye, fighting amongst themselves, fighting over money, fighting over who is the best barstooler/hardman, fighting over the wimmen, but rarely fighting for town pride (well, thanks to the GAA, thats covered) or national issues.

Is is nonsense, because, its an American Thing.

They fought America's War of Independence and their Civil War, their World War 1 and 2, even Vietnman, but sure, when Ireland called by the phone, they were in town busy doing something else. Throw a few quid at us, try and but into the politics, but never some fighting. Sure when they ran for High Offices, someone them tried to Anglophile themselves and hid their Catholicism (i Know you will say, "i don't blame them") or Irishness, only to come out in song at canvassing among the Irish

Hey, even Ombama seems keen on giving a few notes of a song recently, maybe he picked that up from Biffo
