    I was talking to my neighbour who's from Italy and he said approx 4.6 Million Italians (Same population as Ireland) have sex with Beautiful women every day. 800,000 have had sex with the same woman. Is there such information within the irish system to see if we have a similar 'problem?'

    Curious to know what country these 800,000 are from. After a quick wiki search, the closest appears to be British people? Next highest minority group aren't from a specific country

    I think he meant "county" but probably should have said "region", the region in this case being Catalonia.

    The Catalan News Agency had the same figures in July :
    The overall totals indicate that 821,600 of the working population in Catalonia are unemployed

    Here's proof that you're wrong: http://www.thejournal.ie/eu-allows-spain-ban-on-romanian-workers-199812-Aug2011/

    In the first 3 months of 2011, 191,400 Romanians were unemployed in Spain. Unless the other 650,000 got fired over-night, your "neighbour" is talking complete bullshit

    When you add the unemployed Polish Roma, Czech Roma, Slovak Roma, Hungarian Roma, Albanian Roma and Bulgarian Roma in Spain to the 191,000 Romanian Roma, does that add up to 800,000 though?I'd say the OP, his friend and/or you are making the classic mistake of thinking Roma=Romanian, hence him/his friend describing this grouping of people (lets be honest, we were all thinking Roma) as coming from a single country and yet the statistic not backing it up.

    So what you're saying is............ the OP is ignorant and has no idea what he's on about?

    Except there are not 191,000 unemployed Romanian Roma. And the total number of unemployed Roma in Spain would not come anywhere near to 800,000, given that there are less than a million in the country, and that would include children and anyone else who is not part of the labour force.

    It would also be pretty stupid to consider foreign Roma, given that the majority of Roma in Spain are in fact Spanish. Flamenco, which is a deeply Spanish tradition, comes from the Roma in Spain

    I saw on a billboard somewhere that there are up to 5,000 people homeless. With over 4,000,000 and the numbers of unemployed that we have, that isn't too bad. Of course it would be much less if they used the thousands of empty houses, but that's another story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,238 ✭✭✭looder



    Have ye all missed this?

    A lot of the people of Catalonia claim to not be Spanish but instead to be Catalan.

    I'm presuming this is where the stat came from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,931 ✭✭✭Zab

    If the "single other country" is Catalonia then you do realize that Catalonia is currently part of Spain, right? If the "single other country" is Romania (or anywhere else for that matter) then the statistic is incorrect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 741 ✭✭✭therewillbe


    No not Catalonia.It is one of the Eastern bloc countries.

    I'm guessing it has to be Ireland, the bunch of scrounging feckers.

    Either that or the OP's friend could maybe... possibly... just putting out there... spouting out of himself without reading the full article.

    FFS, just say Romania. Stop dancing around it like a coward. You've already had it proven to you that youyour neighbour was talking utter bollocks
