    That lad looks perfectly normal. He's certainly not a skin head and he's certainly not ranting.

    Compare his tone of voice and composure to your own baseless and comical accusations of skinhead and ranting.

    It’s just a working class man alluding to experiences of immigration in his area have you any yourself? I’ve had such pals in my youth by they often delevoped reputations as “horndog” and so I felt the need to disassociate. The blonde blue eyed girls in particular were considered exotic and so very much lusted after. Some had terminations / some didn’t.

    ? Yes. I have daily experiences and interactions with immigrants. All of it positive. My work and education had exposed me to more multiculturalism than your local guy at the pub can tell you about globalism.

    Ah for the glory days of Anoghus von B when he could actually make you laugh whilst pontificating with his lofty air of superiority.

    That lad had a certain panache about him whereas ... well the adults who have been around here for a while will understand.

    Just goes to show the the younger generation don't have what it takes anymore.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    And would those be fleeting interactions or more personal. Maybe you work with some, at the plant after mixing it up on the dart or maybe its the family of Somalis next door?

    In fairness, skater boy has the leaving cert coming up, so I assume that is taking up most of his time, so give him a break. If he fails again he is in trouble with his parents.

    I’d be dubious of someone claiming that all interactions have been positive...

    Like it or not, Ireland will become a white minority eventually, as will many countries in western europe.

    People need to accept human globalisation is simply inevitable. The vast majority of people in this world aren't white (85-90%) and they will flock, quite understandably, to richer countries (USA/Canada, Western Europe, Australia).

    Obviously some people will take issue with this, but we all human at the end of the day. Nationalism IMO, is simply is load of sh1t, so I say bring on human globalisation.

    Just like people need to realise humans are going to kill the planet anyways because we use resources and resources are finite.

    TBH I always assumed one of his parents or siblings is an AH mod which is why he's still knocking around.

    I've no problem with multiculturalism, worked in 23 different countries and took in a lot of their culture, as they mine...if you are ever in the streets of Geoje Sth Korea and some local calls you a langer, you know I've been there (4 months). Most xenophobes probably never left their own parish, and those that worry about losing our culture...the brits tried that for a few hundred years and we still have most of it!

    Ah yes, lads using asian kids and getting them to say Up the Ra, gotta love it...

    Im sure its irrelevant while you type on an american laptop, on a website coded by an indian guy, while tucking into some chinese so you can get ready to work for a british company in the morning

    Were you calling out the Israeli boycotts over them using laptops run using systems researched and developed in Israel?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 499 ✭✭SirGerryAdams


    Multiculturism is good I think as long as the cultures have things in common or mingle.

    When a young Indian is going to college and interacts with his other classmates and socialises with them, it's great. But then for example you'd have older Indians who dress in their garments, don't speak english and just interact with other Indians, just buy Indian food etc.

    Sure he got the fecking Chinese inference wrong as well because as sure as hell the laptop would have been built in China.

    I wonder will some of those calling for boycotts of Israel stick to their principles when a doctor is administering drugs for their Parkinsons or multiple sclerosis ?

    The only drugs coming out of the countries these eejits support would be either khat or hash.

    What's this "Hot take" business in the thread title?

    Let's see what Wiki says ......
    Hot take is a "piece of deliberately provocative commentary that is based almost entirely on shallow moralizing" in response to a news story, "usually written on tight deadlines with little research or reporting, and even less thought".

    Looks at who started the thread.
    Yeah, that sounds about right.

    Not fleeting. Ive known these lads since secondary. Ive been with relationships with girls from other nations. We have a large friend group that meet up twice a year to travel.

    Long story short my interaction with immigrants have been friends, classmates, coworkers and girlfriends. Multiculturalism has been good for me.

    Not really. I address the point, and only the pedantry when it gets nauseating (Kivaro)

    Not really. Believe it or not my opinions are held by the majority of the nation. I am the demographic that the world caters to. I get that you’re insular and probably antisocial, but once you talk to people who isnt just bitter social rejects, you’d realize you’ve been out of touch the entire time

    It’s been good for me too but that is just one. Here strictly on the basis of love; not for money but for a country and its people which developed over time

    The sooner we recognise all these people seeking out the island of Ireland out as an economic retreat is unsustainable the better because as a people we cannot sustain it. Only a fool allows themselves to be taken advantage of, and an exponentally bigger fool allows it to continue unabated but then an altogether different beast actually makes the arrangements in order to make it happen.

    No he has been to college and has a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really important job as he is so keen to point out. Over and over again.

    But don't worry Sonny! You are just a "Bitter Old Man" who will "die soon". Whereas he is young, super intelligent (as we are told over and over again) and so much more cultured than the rest of us poor peons on After Hours.

    Doing ‘chores’ for pocket money counts as an important job now? I should include that on my linked in profile. :)
