**** you, Ireland.

I think you need to STFU and stay on topic. Continue to spam and get a ban. Any personal attacks and you get a ban. Clear enough?

Rozie, you have valid points. Now, how about you build on them with suggestions? (OR are you going to tell me again that you don't have to and that bitching and whining for the sake of it is sufficient?)

Banned. Personal abuse.

Hugged too much or not enough?

Rozie, man you need to relax ... stress is a killer! Take a deep breath and head out on the town with the lads.

You may have some good points there. It's hard to pick to out from your pompous self importance though.

Don't like Ireland? Then f*ck off. Hectic lifestyle? WTF? I'm chillin', sipping my 7up.

We are work mad, career mad. We work longer hours than most of europe, and our leaving cert is a rat race. Colleges are high pressure and have poor social scenes, they're not like real universities at all. We are Corporate. We are Soulless. This is nothing to celebrate either, no matter how good it makes our economy. We have no real cultural identity. Irish people will tell you they're happy, more so than many other countries. But they're really just easily fooled. Looking at what our country actually IS like, it makes no sense for them to be. **** services, rampant conformity throughout or social scenes, overpriced goods, nothing for young people to do but drugs and smashing old ladies over the head with whiskey bottles.

IT Carlow has a totally wicked Social Scene. I was in COMPSOC, others were in the DJing soc, some were in the GLBT (I'm missing letters, I think) soc, and there was even a Foreign soc, to get the weird foreigners to come out and have fun (they drank wine in the only civilised pub in Carlow, the rumour goes).

True, they're not "real" universities, if you go by how much private funding is pumped into them, and that they get nice goverment grants that ensure they enfore equlity, but meh. They still rock.

Our cultural identity is so good, some of the yanks claim they're Irish:rolleyes:

"Rampant conformity"? What the holy f*ck? Erm, where? Aside from the emo's @ the central bank, who go on about how non-conformist they all are, when in fact they all dress the same, we are all different. In Fibbers a few weekends ago. In a metal pub, you got your rockers, your chicks... and the folk playing pool who may have no interest in metal, but still play pool there.

=-=

In all, if you don't like it, go somewhere else. I don't goto Redz, 21's, etc, but I go to the Porterhouse for the Blues music, Fibbers for metal, random pubs for Irish trad.

If you dislike Ireland, you'll never be happy anywhere you go.
