Irish people and their ignorant whinging.

Wheeliebin30

Seen a headline about Venezuela this morning and it got me thinking about how lucky we are in this country.

Yet you have people always whinging it's a 3rd world country, the country is in a mess, the goverment don't care blah blah.

I think as a nation a lot of people are spoiled and live in a bubble that think if everything isn't perfect were all ****ed.

Anyway here's the link.

http://www.thejournal.ie/venezuela-starvation-3276409-Mar2017/

"Some 9.6 million Venezuelans are living on two or fewer meals a day, according to the Living Conditions Survey.

And 1.5 million are living on food given to them or found in bins, says one of the report’s authors, nutritionist Maritza Landaeta."



That's socialism lads!!!

Well done. Did you feel the need to back up your stereotyping with evidence?

Your headline is a bit on the auld wide and sweeping side isn't it? Some people whinge..... most I think don't. I can't think of anyone amongst my group of acquaintances who would whinge about their lot in life.

If someone is constantly whinging and giving out you can surely tell them to give it over no?

Or are you not allowed cause that's whinging I don't get it?

Next time my child is whinging because they can't go to bed when they want I must not tell them to stop because I'll be whinging then.

It's definitely true. I used to moan about the transport infrastructure here........then I went to Turkey.

Good job OP.

It's about damn time someone was brave enough on the internet to call it like it is!

Don't just highlight the poor Venezuelan's, spare a thought for the 2017 famine in South Sudan.

If we all send positive waves and try not to whinge about our lives, that could really fill poor peoples bellies.

You are the hero poor people need. Im here to fully support you. I need to check your posts to make sure you are as righteous as you proclaim.


.......nope, your post history suggests a litany of whingy comments.

You are full of sh1t OP! Its your fault the Venezuelans are hungry.

I cant be part of your movement anymore...you are a fraud.

I think some of our whingers are the most informed whingers on the planet. Not ignorant at all.

eviltwin

Feeling you can't moan about the daily ****e you experience because someone somewhere has it worse is like not feeling happy about the good stuff because someone somewhere has it better.

Pkiernan

Move to Venezuela.

me_right_one

OP, you are right. We live in one of the luckiest, best countries in the world. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced of it, every day. Its not perfect, and it has certainly been worse, but it is a little goldilocks of a country overall. People who say "urrgh, I hate Ireland" can go and feck off.

Solidarity with Venezuela.

Wanderer78

...and neoliberalism is working perfectly to?

DareGod

I'm sure everyone understands what your point is, OP, and it's definitely a valid point to an extent. Of course it is. But I think the whingers you're talking about are generally whingeing about national problems that are caused by chronic incompentency and corruption at government level and that's something that should always be talked about in every country regardless, never ignored.

Winterlong

Just because other countries are worse does not mean we should not strive for our country to be better.

Anyone critising the Venezuelan government on this thread is probably a profiteer who has been stockpiling goods to raise prices in an attempt to destroy the legacy of Hugo Chavez.

This is NOT the fault of the Government. Venezuela continues to be a socalist paradise.

Widdershins

Depends whether there's valid reason to complain and what level of complaining people do, and who they direct it at. I don't mind people getting it off their chest if they're struggling. I do mind people running the whole country down and calling it a kip.

Just on this thread? Are there a lot of Irish profiteers from Venezuela on boards that wait for threads about the country to attack the government? Must be that deep state thing I keep hearing about...

True, people constantly moaning about **** was on my list of reasons of why to leave Ireland. Leaving had made me a much more optimistic and happier person!

fiachr_a

Remember the one in the papers with red hair who moved to Canada with her husband complaining about our bad education system for her daughter? Great seeing her on TV having to buy milk in a plastic bag.

I agree with you wheelie. We're all very spoiled and the more people get the more they want and the greater they're sense of entitlement.
Then you have the MMT politicians feeding this by telling people who sit in front of 52" TVs while smoking 40 JPB a day despite never having had a job because "they're from a disadvantaged background "that they're living in 3rd world conditions and/or it's a "police state" when the Gardai seize they're Subaru Impreza for having no tax or insurance.

40 years of patting people on the head and apologising to them for well...nothing really, hasn't worked and it's time to take a different direction.
The current minister for SP has a good grasp on the situation and I hope that whatever else happens he can continue to make the changes he's pressing through

Problem is we are heading to a point where it's not sustainable to be babysitting people through life and giving into their every demand.

With our ageing population it's a bombshell. These people need to get up off their arses and start contributing something instead of taking.

20 billion a year welfare Bill isn't sustainable.

But all I see is the system getting easier for people to screw.

Go "homeless" and your bumped up the list quicker for a nice house for life.

Just Google Erica Fleming. Need I say anymore.

I do know what you mean. Again it depends on the level. I've a French friend who doesn't know when to stop complaining about everything wrong with the country. He hasn't been home to France in thirty years and his own recently arrived French friends keep reminding him that things he complains about here are the same if not worse in France. Eventually it's understandable for people to get really tired of it and wonder why he doesn't just go back to France. I've had to bite my tongue once or twice.

This is true but when discussing problems in this country, posters will say things like 'this is like a 3rd world country' or some other equally ignorant comment while they sit in their fully heated spacious homes full of good quality food and with clean water and practically everything you need being quick and easy to access

There​ are a scary number of idiots out there OP. Remember to add the general list of caveats to any opening post in future...

... I don't mean every person...

... this is a discussion, not a whinge...

God forbid someone may not take a post in the context of which it was meant.

That's socialism lads!!!

That's not socialism, that's corruption and US influence, and you know it!

As to the topic at hand: I love the way that people try to make Ireland look like a modern nation is to compare it to developing or third-world countries.

Not to be awkward (okay, I'm being awkward), but we shouldn't take the obviously exaggerated sweeping statements of people seriously when they're complaining about the obviously exaggerated sweeping statements made by whinging Irish people?
