Then one day, my dad bought those croissants in a cardboard tin that you cook at home. All went to shlte after that. Suddenly supermarkets were selling fresh chillies. There was a concerted effort to pull things back in 1995 with the invention of the breakfast roll but it was too late - olives and anchovies had taken hold and werent going to let go. It was all over when sun-dried tomatoes came in 1996. Dearbhla and Sinead, that was a very irresponsible gift to buy me. Look what you started!

Being self confident in yourself and your nation means that you call out people who are actually programmed to denigrate it for the benefit of foreign interests.

I can only speak for myself, but I live and interesting life, which I really enjoy. I have friends in most corners of the world, not just Irish friends. I like the life I have created for myself. Yet, I feel sad when leaving Ireland after Christmas. Not because I hate living abroad, not because Ireland is the best place in the world (in my opinion it is certainly up there), not because I feel a reject (which I dont) .. it is simply because I have an elderly parent who I never know if I am going to see them again.

All of that promoted through BOD with his Lambeg, FG with a Minister of Justice upholding the RIC/DMP in the War of Independence and the media and politically correct revisionism of inclusion misapplied to those who oppressed ordinary Irish people. Nationalism is under attack from many sides and some of the posters here are part of it. And we know it.

All those things happened in my lifetime, the last laundry only closed in the 1990s. Perhaps if people weren't so easily led they might have their "culture". What is it that you are doing to halt this decline, hmm?

This is a form of stolen valor or “stolen victim hood” in you case. Trying to connect yourself to events which had nothing to do with you or inject yourself into the storyline somehow. Millennials are desperate for doing this, particularly when they talk to people who aren’t from Ireland making out what a tough childhood they had and how “Magdalene laundries we’re still open when I was growing up, life in Ireland was so hard”. Most people on here have never met or even come across anyone who was in those institutions and if you have you have you wouldn’t even know it because most likely they are from a different socio economic background that they would look down their noses at them. What you’ve done in the last post by trying to link yourself to industrial homes is extremely insulting to people who had the misfortune of being institutionalised because they didn’t come from the same privileged background as you sitting on your PlayStation telling everyone how hard it was growing up in Ireland.

Once we started getting "busy with the fizzy" we got airs and graces about having access to carbonated drinks whenever we wanted, thus creating a generation of self entitlement, who then went on to reproduce resulting in a bunch of virtue signalling snow flakes...

Millicently wrote: » Do you remember the media coverage of queues of people queuing to by the latest Iphone or whatever the hottest gadget of the year was? You don't see it so much anymore but most of the people queuing for the gadgets were men. I don't think women have as much interest in the latest gadgets as men, but I could be wrong. I couldn't sleep at night if I had massive debt hanging over my head and I certainly wouldn't put that kind of stress on my husband. I can understand a lot of men feel angry with the mothers of their children when they separate for not allowing them to see their children as often as they'd like. I don't blame the guys. But in any relationship there are 2 sides to every story and I don't think most couples break up because the men aren't providing a big enough house for the women. Most men wouldn't want to date a single mum because they don't want the baggage of raising another man's kids.
