French People

mada999 · 05-03-2003 3:34pm #1

I know some french people in the college and i work with them, i used to think french people are arrogent but these arent, they're very nice, genuine people. They say thank-you and please and they can hold a conversation just fine, and they know some Irish humour so there . . . . . .

Ireland is becoming a nation of racist and gimps, no-wonder tourism sucks at the moment because when people of diff nationalities come to this isle they are laughed at or beaten, the irish are not nice anymore, thats what people are saying. We are a nation of greedy people. It was better in the 80s when we had no fúcking money then we had to be nice. now that we have money we are telling people to fúck off.

put that in ur pipe and smoke it.

The locked thread about french people before this one was the stupidest thread ever. That is all.

Xenophobic gimps.

kegan5 · 05-03-2003 4:01pm

dont like em!
Only because everytime we go to france their ignorant as S***

mada999 · 05-03-2003 4:11pm

i've never been to france

Jackz · 05-03-2003 4:26pm

Oh the pain in 307. I think I'll be moving along if they don't quiet down a bit.

kegan5 · 05-03-2003 4:26pm

your not missing anything!

Ruaidhri · 05-03-2003 4:29pm

personally i've no problem with French ppl.
i think the problem lies with the ppl who think the French are differant from themselves/not human.

All the times i've been to France have demonstrated to me that they are just another race. Alright they have some stupid ppl, but just look at hte amount of ****ing idiots in Irish society.

Oh,and i'm a sucker for the classic French accent

Snowball · 05-03-2003 4:36pm

I raise the same point as Mada999 but about spanish people. I lived in Madrid for 6 years and spanish people are lovley. They enjoy good food, friends and basicly the good things in life. I cant stand it when people in Ireland moan and groan about spanish and how loud they are and how ignorant they are. Spanish people are really nice people.

Also from what contact I have had with french people the above point also stands for the french.

P.S: JP, Curtus, Steven and the rest of u pervs keep ur pervie minds away from my post. There is enough inudendo that we dont need it near this post

mada999 · 05-03-2003 4:52pm

you lived in madrid for 6 years ? hows your spanish

está bien ?

Snowball · 05-03-2003 5:06pm

have fluent spanish, sometimes have trouble convncing spanish ppl that I am irish. Well, used to happen alot, not I have lost my spanish acent but my spanish is just as good.

Estoy bien, y tu? Como va el curso?

I have to agree with you there. I also have lived throughout Spain and the Islands for a few years and absolutely loved it. Totally different culture, different people, different attitudes, but very good people.

Unfortunately I dont know so much about the French, other than we will kick their a** Saturday in the Rugby and the French women are in my experience devine:)

I believe you do not need to be of a different nationality to get the crap beeten out of you in ireland. You just have to be in the wrong place.

Moonbeam · 06-03-2003 7:16pm

ahh bite me, what course are you doing eth0_?

She works with me:)and wasnt in the college

Moonbeam · 06-03-2003 7:22pm

Ireland is turning into a very raciest place but after spending many months in France over the years the French are as bad,
A few years ago I got my face slapped cause one of the other kids thought I was English,got appologies when they found out otherwise,
People in general are jsut becoming intolerant

TomTom · 06-03-2003 7:33pm

I know this is seperate to talking about french people but I have a real problem with asylum seakers. Not all of them.
Just a few things from memory, a few years about there was a couple thet were to be moved from dublin to an asylum center in the north. They refused as they wanted to stay in dublin with family and friends. Dublin Corpo went and bought them a house. This is redicilous (so is my spelling). That is just one example. there are many like it. On channel 4 a while ago they followed one asylum seaker from when arrived. He was given basic board and food vouchers and £10 a week spending money. It was up to him to find a job if he wanted to stay. After two months he could not find a job so he was sent home. This in my opinion is the right way to do things.
In kilcormac where i come from a house worth about 1/2 to 3/4 a million was bought for asylum seakers. This house has a fully fitted resturant in the basement and 5 ensuite room. They placed 3 asylum seakers in it. They don't even stay there during the week. They spend all their time in dublin and only come down to the house on the odd day.
This just pisses me off.

(I also thing most french people are ignorent, i went there a few times on holidays and the way they treat tourists is awfull. I lived with a french guy last year and he was the nicest guy ever, so i suppose not all of them are bad.)

noah · 08-03-2003 12:49am

ye mada i welcome french and spanish people to ireland and may i saythat some of the hottest birds in the colege are from finland, spain and france. i just hope those spanish we met in the foundry weren't put off this county by you talkin ****e

i_am_dogboy · 08-03-2003 12:39pm

shut up snowball(im the one he refers to as "curtis"), you should know that i like the mix of races in ireland, and i will admit that i complain about the loud "outsiders" in the library or the cantine-but i'll complain about the loud locals just as quick

most of the people who are posting the racist posts are taking the piss more than anything........you should know not to take what people say on the net seriously

but i still dont like americans, anyone who believes i learned to speak english in the few weeks before i went over ther, AND believes that leprechauns are an extinct race of little people, deserve about as much respect as...........their president

rant over, tired now, gonna go back to listening to david bowie

Spanish people are nice, but theyve no attitudes.

Typedef · 13-03-2003 3:53pm

Err hello.

People are people, plain and simple.*

*people like me are better

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 13-03-2003 4:04pm

well yeah type, but we can't complain about "those filthy irish bastards" because well.. that would make us hypocrites..

and no one wants to be a hypocrite..

I agree, we all need hate figures.

I just thought it was national policy™ to hate the English... now, if we are 'actually' going to make peace with the English (long term)... personally I vote for the Germans and or the Americans as our new hate figures™, but, for payment... the French will do.

dont like em!
Only because everytime we go to france their ignorant as S***

Were you born this narrowminded and dumb, or did you work at it over the years?

You honestly have not got a clue what you are talking about and to be quite honest you would do yourself great favours by not making your biggot remarks in future.

And before I get a "are you in CIT" no I am not, but a good friend of mine is, she loves the college and is FRENCH.

Ignorant? in what ways please enlighten me, or wait did you mean to say Arrogant? big difference between those two words.

You are taking sweeping generalisations and clichets and manifesting your opinions based on these, what an intelligent person you are.

Im with etho on this one, lets see if you "students" can come up with one intelligent remark on this thread before the end of the day.

And i have a gut feeling Keegan that you are from the country and you are merely spurting out Sh!te which you have heard before.

Yes the French are rude for example, Paris you would be doing well to get the time off someone, but it is for a very good reason which your tiny little brain cannot comprehend as you are so narrowminded and do not even stop to think, WHY might they be like this.

Forget the Romance clichet crap which is associated with paris as it is far from the reality of things, it is a very dangerous City as are many others in France, my brother was held at Gun point for 2 hours in Lyon.

People are rude for their own protection.

France is not ireland you dumbass and if you look at France through the eyes of your Narrowminded little world you will get nowhere and that applies to any nation/Culture/Country ever heard of ethnocentricism?

Jesus like us Irish, were the best country in the world, were so good, ugh the french, stupid arrogant idiots.

Mada999 well said, its because of morons like Mr.Keegan here that, that is the case.

Grow up, get a clue and think before you start typing/opening your (what I would imagine to be) very big unsubstantiated large mouth.

Bring on the Flames

i_am_dogboy · 13-03-2003 4:11pm

the americans i say.........because they love us so much

Saruman · 13-03-2003 4:12pm

WTF?? People are people.. some are nice and some are not.. Entire nations of people dont count as it can be different for who you meet... Im sure during the war everyone hated Germans but there were some very nice Germans out there and they were not all Nazi extremists.

Im sure the same can be said about us.. imagine a French or Spaniard comming here.. Goes to Temple bar gets the crap kicked out of him, spit on and ends up with hiliday memories of being in hospital. Do you think he will say Irish people are nice but some can be horrible? no he wil probably warn everyone he knows that Iish people are b@stards... all of em.

Stop generalising.

i_am_dogboy · 13-03-2003 4:13pm

go samba GO

Jackz · 13-03-2003 4:15pm

Mr Keegen ???????????

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Now you are the one making generalisations in your little mind.

Kegan5 is a female me thinks, at least she appears that way.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 13-03-2003 4:15pm

People are rude for their own protection.

oh those poor souls...

Samba · 13-03-2003 4:21pm

Whether it is a He/she has no bearing on the matter.

And how is that a generalisation? it was not it was a persumption.

Mordeth, im not taking your bait and you would understand so much of the troubles what being from Carlow is it? Very dangerous place from what I hear

.

How about I make a thread complaining about Irish People and how they are all alcoholics?

How about i make one and take every single irish clichet in to consideration and lash out on the Irish?

Well I won't, but i d like to see many peoples reactions if i did.

Yet to see an intelligent remark on the topic from someone in CIT (bar Saramaun of course

)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 13-03-2003 4:25pm

mm, but we are not complaining about the french as an entire nation, or sticking to french cliché's... we're talking about the french people we have noticed in our college. and yes, they are quite loud, and no they don't ever appear to shut up.. and yes alot of them seem to have a thing for looking up porn on college computers.

Samba · 13-03-2003 4:27pm

Unfotunately Keegan was Mordeth, tell me how many French people are in your college?

will you brand them all with the one tag?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 13-03-2003 4:31pm

if I see alot of french people annoying me In my college, I will complain about the french *shrug*

Samba · 13-03-2003 4:33pm

shrug, pathetic this thread is not worth the time of day and I regret even opening my mouth in the first place.

I bid you all farewell CIT

kegan5 · 13-03-2003 4:37pm

Yeah that post was from Me I'm not speaking on behalve of anyone here apart from myself...and I'm entitled to my opinion and seeing as Samba has some serious French problem I'm going to carry on with my dislike for French people!!!

lol no offence to the nice French people just the ones that walk into ME yes me not ITCARLow (just to clear that one up) oh and I dont like the fur coat wearers but that stands for anyone coz real fur stinks literally!!!!

BTW Samba...do me a favour go to CarteForte and stand in the middle with open toe shoes...then come back and tell me if getting pushed about and trolleys over your feet doesnt piss you off!

Oh and BTW Samba if u aint in the college get off the board!!

We're nice here!!! Well some anyway!!!
Oh and I aint stupid, but I'd rather not argue with you seeing as you have some Musical name...and I dunno who u r or what u r or where u are!!!

Redrocket · 13-03-2003 4:40pm

all the french people in france, ireland, whereever are not all annoying bastards. it just seems that the groups of french in OUR college LIBRARY ( i dont notice them being loud in the canteen or out smoking and i go to both areas just as much as the LRC. ) are very very loud and ignorant towards other people, i wish there was a few on boards so that they could defend themselves. they sit in groups at computers ( a group might be 10 spread all over an area of 50 people ) and they talk out loud from one end to the other not giving a flying **** if they are too loud.. nobody can understand them so they dont care if we over hear their conversations. i think that might be another reason why they are so loud. I dont like asking anyone in the library, doesnt matter where they are from, to be quiet.

French People
