a nation of haters?

old hippy

Sometimes I read boards.ie and I wonder if some of us are tipping over into madness or a parody so extreme, we can't see it for what it is.

We* hate ourselves. We hate foreigners. We hate ourselves for liking foreigners. We hate ourselves for hating foreigners. We hate ourselves for adopting foreign customs. We hate ourselves for not adopting foreign customs. We hate our desire to be part of the world. We hate our desire to be isolated. We hate the British. We hate those who hate the British. We hate the Americans. We love to hate the Americans. We hate those who love to hate the Americans. We hate accents. We hate D4 accents. We hate Northern accents. We hate culshie accents. We hate skanger accents. We hate bland accents. We hate those who hate the myriad of accents in our island. We hate those who left. We hate those who stayed. We hate the left. We hate the right. We hate nationalism. We hate those who hate nationalism. We hate unionism. We hate those who hate unionism. We hate the church. We hate the gays. We hate the church that hates the gays. We hate the haters who hate the church who hate gays.

Dude you need to chill out a bit and stop taking what people post on the internet so seriously. I cant speak for others but i definitely become more opinionated when posting on the likes of boards. Then i log off and realise i really dont give a sh1t.

The cake is a lie btw.

Reading an internet forum isn't a good gauge. Boards seems to have more than it's fair share of gobsh¡tes and keyboard warriors. Would these people speak their words face-to-face like they do on here? I don't think so, or they would spend most of their day picking up their teeth.

From the people I meet in a real world situation, we're a great people! A bit begrudgerish (new word alert), but great for all that.

Hate is a very strong word to. Use i think it's dislike.

Plus freedom of speech allows us to publicly dislike want we like

I'd say its closer to the truth to say anonymously-publicly. That we're a nation of hatin' keyboard warriors?

Haters gon' hate potatoes gon' potate

People throw around the word "hate" so much that it doesn't mean anything anymore.

"I hate Geordie Shore!"... Do you really hate Geordie Shore, or is it just a TV show that you don't enjoy watching? I think Geordie Shore is ****. But I don't hate it. I'm not in it's target audience so therefore do not enjoy it.

Please stop misusing the word "hate", people. You're ruining it for the rest of us.

It's said that the Irish are a nation of begruders... and being Irish and living in Ireland all my life - I have to agree. Seen alot of examples.

But I think its actually just people in general. No one wants anyone to get ahead unless its themselves (or those closest to them) Life is a rat race. So the americans, english, french etc you name it etc are the same.

Maybe we just express it more 'openly'

I've found over the years and various accounts I've had, boards.ie is absolutely not any kind of barometer for wider Irish society. You only have to take a break from boards for a few weeks and come back, you'll be instantly struck by the amount of ill-will, negativity and passive aggression.

So polling boards.ie is just that, polling boards.ie. Don't expect to glean any more from it than that. There are often similar polls held on thejournal.ie as there are here but when compared to each other, the results vary hugely.

I'm having a hard time telling if your post is a parody.

We* hate ourselves. We hate foreigners. We hate ourselves for liking foreigners. We hate ourselves for hating foreigners. We hate ourselves for adopting foreign customs. We hate ourselves for not adopting foreign customs. We hate our desire to be part of the world. We hate our desire to be isolated. We hate the British. We hate those who hate the British. We hate the Americans. We love to hate the Americans. We hate those who love to hate the Americans. We hate accents. We hate D4 accents. We hate Northern accents. We hate culshie accents. We hate skanger accents. We hate bland accents. We hate those who hate the myriad of accents in our island. We hate those who left. We hate those who stayed. We hate the left. We hate the right. We hate nationalism. We hate those who hate nationalism. We hate unionism. We hate those who hate unionism. We hate the church. We hate the gays. We hate the church that hates the gays. We hate the haters who hate the church who hate gays.

It's like you took all the dull hyperbole and hollow similes of Alanis Morrisette's Ironic and that too preachy poster from Trainspotting and and decided to breed them into some kind of weaponised wall of text.

I've read better angsty teenage poetry than this, and I feel I may be doing a disservice to angst ridden teenage poets by comparing them to this.

For what its worth I don't hate this, its just poorly composed, utterly unconvincing, built on a string of staggeringly offensive and inaccurate assumptions and passed as truth without a shred of evidence supporting it with no shortage of evidence to the contrary.

And I don't hate you, but I do dislike you. You don't think before you post and posts composed with that mindset drown out ones that took longer to be put together, editted and divided into paragraphs.

That said I appreciate the giant red arrow you pointed at yourself, sometimes its hard to decide who needs to be added to the ignore list.

old hippy will say anything for a bit of attention. But his latest rantings might make one assume that he has stopped taking his meds.

I hate the hate word.

It's a pointless emotion.

Complete waste of time and I hate wasting time.

He just states his opinions, from reading his posts I've noticed that he's not loose, he believes in what he says. I'm sure he doesn't expect everyone to agree with him. Boards is about debate, it would be very boring if we all agreed with one another.

agreed.

its possible that what some of who people think are individuals,are all sockpuppet accounts of the same various individuals,the deviant art forum to use an example is full of one persons sockpuppeting-he isnt just using different accounts there he is pretending to be different people,the individual has ruined the whole place with their resentful, narcisistic and pyschopathic like nature.

Was Ireland ever the land of saints and scholars and the land of a thousand welcomes?

Or were we really always just a nation of begrudgers that were only happy when things were going our way?

You need to lay off the "funny" fags.

Madam

Tbf to the OP sometimes on some threads the Irish(who mostly post on here)do come across as uber begrudgers and have a real dislike for their own country- is it a mindset I wonder? Or maybe the demographic of the age of people on here(I'd say most are in the late teens/early twenties)?
