    I appreciate the time you took to respond to the post. I think you took me up wrong with it. It is not a diss at all culchies. No hard feelings.

    Are you schizophrenic or something :confused: coz if you look at your post there's only one way to take it up

    No. Just realised what a poor choice of posts I made earlier and feel a little down. :(

    oh and btw being termed as a culchie or being 'from down the country' is not a term of endearment. No more than me calling you a howya or a scanger or either of us being called a Paddy from a Brit.

    They're traitors and members of the culchie alliance.

    I apologise to all culchies. I didn't mean my first post to sound the way it was. It came out badly and I'm sorry. :)

    In fact I would be a Dulchie as my parents moved away from Dublin. :D

    I never said I hated culchies, hate is such a strong word. Can we be virtual buddies again? All this culchie/dub thing is such a wasted arguement. There is always going to be differences on both sides.

    Perhaps the fact that he's black and your white might be a clue. If your Mum's name is Sharon though that might be an even bigger clue that he's not your real brother.

    Seeing threads like this im glad i left Ireland for a proper country..

    Are you mad?! These are the threads that make me miss home! Here (in Canada), everyone is so bloody nice it would make you sick! The Canadians are unable to string sentences together if they're in the company of Irish and Brits bullying each other for 800 years of IRA potato bombing London's Canary Warf. It just makes us Irish better then anyone else in the World. That's a fact (I read it once on Wikipedia somewhere:P)

    Oh, I don't hate Culchies. I've plenty of mates from the countryside. I just pity them :).

    I'd rather be a Dub than a culchie. Don't hate them, just wouldn't want to be them. As the previous poster said, it's more of a pity thing.

    I'm from Galway city, so I guess that makes me a culchie, although I don't hate English people, drink tea, bring sandwiches with me whenever I travel, like the Gah, do the Lotto, call lunchtime dinner and dinner time tea etc. It's all a bit unbelievably seriously gay though IMO, and also whoever invented the word 'Dulchie' should have their tongue sawn off and sewn onto their forhead.

    The use of 'langer' and 'jackeen' is also gay and very sad.

    Cheers.

    They generally tend to have bigoted opinions, can be very closed minded especially when you consider that:

    1) They, in a lot of cases went to third level education in Dublin.
    2) Spend their time complaining about Dublin, and when huge gigs are organised are the first to buy tickets there.
    3) Wear the counties jerseys all of the time. I have nothing but respect for people who support their county, but when it becomes the sole wardrobe it becomes annoying.
    4) Lack of social graces. That's a big one for me personally. Country people tend to gather in packs and wolf down their food making upsurd noises.
    5) Inept knowledge of current affairs. Don't know how many conversations I have had with country people regarding the news in the morning. In all fairnest it doesn't take a lot of time in your day to listen to Morning Ireland before commenting on events heard through over heard conversations.

    Sorry if I offended anyone but that's the general impression I have got from them.

    You give me lolz.

    I don't hate culchies per se but I can't stand people who are really 'into' being from a particular county. This is true also for all the Dublin supporters who go to Croke Park during the summer, but it is overwhelmingly a country phenomenon. Do these people realise that these are just administrative boundaries drawn up a few hundred years ago using rivers and roads?

    There's a whole genre of so-called comedy based around this which leaves me baffled.

    "Ah sure don't mind him, he's only a Mayoman." :confused:

    "And of course there's my Aunty Mary who married a lad from Roscommon." (wink wink) :confused:

    "What with de father being from Offaly and de mother from Kilkenny, tis no wonder." :confused:

    No.

    We didn't.

    Thanks for the education though. :D

    I take it you have the same issues with nationalism ( country is an accident of birth ), religious pride ( also an accident of birth ), social pride ( you guessed it! ) etc?

    Actually, what do you not have an interest with people being proud of?

    So you're on Boards not to reminesce about the ol country but to take crack shots at the whole lot of us in 1 go, nice! :rolleyes:

    Mind you, you do have a point about the them and us mentality - not everyone is like that though. I spent 9 years in Dublin and have plenty of good time for those Dubs that are willing to look beyond the fact that I'm from 'the country'. To paraphrase Chris Rock - I love Dubs but I hate those bleedin howyas! :p

    My Mam and Dad are from the country but I was born and raised in Dublin. So to answer your question, no I don’t hate culchies. I do hate the fact my mother thinks I’m from the country just cause she is.
