    Also, I'm friends with a few cultural marxist morons on FB, but a lot of decent people as well and after I shared the GoFundMe of the repatriation I didn't get a single like or comment on it, which is a little disturbing.

    Tiny minority, yeah right. People don't need to blow things up to be considered radical. All the statistics are from pew research.

    We are indeed, but that's for another thread. If there 100 times more Muslims than boat people then, statistically and as a group, Muslims are 100 times more likely to commit a crime.

    That's just cultural marxist maths stuff that in no way counts.

    A leftlibtard? Doubtless we'll be told this cannot be and is part of the war on gender.

    No "mangina", "virtue signalling/signaller" or "SJW" though.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    i'm afraid nobody has any obligation to like, share or comment on your social media posts. the "leftards/libtards" were obviously busy with other stuff and hadn't time to comment or like.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    Not any more so than emigrants from other countries. I always hear the above trotted out as a reason why Irish illegals in the US should be allowed to stay legally. And it's always been rightfully rejected. It's jingoistic nonsense to think we distinguished ourselves in this regard. We overestimate our influence. On any historical infrastructure project you can think of, there were Irish, sure. But there was also Polish, Chinese and emigrants from countless other nations. The amazingly mixed ancestries of so many American I read about and know personally shows that many, many countries were involved in the building of the country.

    In general, the only people who think the Irish in US should have special status are govt officials, who don’t want to deal with an extra 50,000+ on the dole, looking for housing etc, people with a vested interest, or people on here trying (and failing) to use it as a straw man as to why we should be welcoming illegals with open arms (as happened earlier in the thread).

    When Irish people emigrate they usual blend into the existing culture but many of the 'new' Irish prefer to retain their exiting baggage/language etc. and end up in ghettoes. There are already such places in Ireland - even this little backwater has a street nicknamed by locals as 'Little Romania'.

    Some do, some don't. You've Irish people in various places who don't integrate at all and spend all their time Irish pubs and Irish centres, involved in overseas GAA and so on.

    You've British people living for years and years in Spain who couldn't even order a coffee in Spanish and live in communities without any contact with Spanish culture or people.

    That lack of integrating isn't exclusive to any nationality or culture.

    There's also a balance. You can mix having your own identity and having a new adopted identity and often the next generation is very very integrated.

    Doesn't seem all that crazy. They obviously didn't take it on faith that he was telling the truth and are investigating his background. It's not like they'll be rushing to tell people what they find. It'll come out in court.

    ROFL. There's not so much of it now, but back in 2008 when Irish people were leaving here in droves, the relevant regional forums here were full of questions about where in London/Sydney/Ackland/Ottawa the local Irish pub or GAA club was so they could meet up with other Irish people, and what areas had significant Irish populations already. Along with incessant moaning about how the bread/tea/beer/crisps weren't the same as back home etc. etc. and where was the local "Irish shop" where they could buy some delicacies to remind them of home.

    The thing about the Irish who left this country in the last 200 years and went all over the world is in general:
    1: They weren't whining self righteous expectant whingers with large moralistic and religiously sensitive chips on their shoulders. They didn't look at people in the Italian, Latin, Jewish, Asian and Chinese quarters and pass moral judgement on them.
    2: They were independent and self reliant people who got on with the task in hand, cut down trees to build their cabins and expected no handouts. Everything they obtained they earned through graft.

    You're from a backwater? That does surprise me, not. :rolleyes:
