Does Boards represent Ireland?

Lyan

Do you think this site gives an accurate representation of common Irish opinions and attitudes or is the place full of deviants?

Nope. You have to be politically correct and only say what they want you to say.
No rocking boats or anything like that.

Hangdogroad

People who give out about the dole and social housing are well represented.

If there was a best website competition, I'd imagine boards would be representing Ireland..

Nope. "Current Affairs" has got far more hateful lately and does not represent how the public voted in the last election.

Current Affairs was always like that, from when it was called the Politics Cafe. Really nasty place. It annoys me that it even shows up in my post history, probably because of threads being sent there from these hallowed halls. What a pit of vitriol it is.

It's fine, as long as you visit the place doing so for your own amusement, and for the lols.

The tragedy is that some people seem to take it seriously. :eek:

So your telling me people outside of boards aren't on 100k a year,house paid off,new car and sitting on a 200k pension?

Nah it's just Irish people...we've moved from FF people hating Fg people...we love a good argument!!!

Granadino

No. Most people I know aren't on boards. Most of the posts on boards are not reflective of real society.

I don't think any of us are too delicate Bertie, it's just a question of screening content that we don't want polluting our heads, a bit like blocking Donald Trump on Twitter, or those incestuous Greystone lads, The Happy Pear.

On the whole, Boards is a good and uplifting place which I'd say is fairly representative of the people of Ireland.

EDIT
Some mod has edited (removed) a link I made to a very good boards.ie thread,as it was against the charter.

Deviants and welcome to the club.
Boards should represent ireland in the Eurovision song contest. After all he had a rag with its hand up its arse before representing us, boards would do well.
Again welcome to the club deviant

If it does then someone needs to pepper the country with nuclear weapons.

Mod:

Folks do NOT link to threads in other more sensitive forums such as Personal Issues, this is explicitly against Boards rules

[Deleted User]

Nah....i doubt it anyway

Captures an over representation of a small cohort of population.....boring middle aged types,who it has dawned upon have wasted their lives on pointless office work,but are in too deep with mortgages etc to get out now.......and are strikingly bitter at anyone who deosnt conform or sees world differently

**this isnt all posters or aimed at anyone in particular ,just that be bang i get off lot of posts.

Only for members to the private part of the site.
25k earnings, 3 kids, a dog and a mortgage will limit you to After hours.

Arghus

It's a bit angrier and more argumentative than Ireland as a whole.

I don't know how people can say it's too PC, Current Affairs is rammed full with half-baked reactionary bile.

RandomViewer

No, very limited number of people represented

You had the moral high ground there until you insult the Happy Pear lads with ‘incestuous’.
