How many of you have non Irish friends

shqipshume · 31-03-2009 10:33AM #1

I am just curious how many people here on boards have non Irish friends?
What nationality and what religion.
Would you care what religion or nationality they are?
Or am i right in thinking Irish people just go by how they are with them and nationality nor religion is and issue.
Thanks

Also as i neglected to add in my post any other nationality also take part does it matter to you religion nationality,are you also easy going and have many Irish friends,Sorry guys

No. Foreign people smell.

Ewwwww

AnonoBoy · 31-03-2009 10:35AM

No Irish person has ever judged anybody on their nationality or religion. That is a known fact.

My name is URL · 31-03-2009 10:36AM

I have alot of American friends coz I spent 2 years in California.
Would I care about their religion? Well I'm agnostic so if they started praying out of the blue or went on about creation, I don't think I'd hang about, tbh

Dartz · 31-03-2009 10:36AM

I don't have any friends.

Sabre0001 · 31-03-2009 10:37AM

Yep, do I get a medal?

seanybiker · 31-03-2009 10:37AM

Does Northern Ireland (pronounced "Norn Iron") count as foreign? Does Donegal count as "The North"?

(Don't start on the 800 years of opression, Ireland is a 32 county republic etc. speil, because that's what they'd expect you to do)

Biggins · 31-03-2009 10:40AM

No.

I have many friends from places all over. Each I take as single individuals, not branded as a collective when it comes to friendships.

biko · 31-03-2009 10:41AM

From all over Europe. Prob 50% Irish and 50% foreign.
My closest friends are Irish, from Co Galway and Co Down.

That was totally off topic. I was saving that for the "How many of you have raped your friends" thread that was gonna start later.

Em wouldn't you call them fanatics? lol I don't think many people would hang around then

So your answer would be you don't care as long as they don't start preaching at you lol;)

stovelid · 31-03-2009 11:01AM

Is it possible for anybody in Ireland under a certain age not to have a non-Irish friend?

ejmaztec · 31-03-2009 11:06AM

As I'm a Plastic Paddy with an identity crisis, everybody I know is foreign, even my family. I don't give a toss what religion my friends practice, as long as it doesn't involve me being sacrificed in the woods when there's a full moon - again.:eek:

marzic · 31-03-2009 11:07AM

yeah fcuking loads! its really not a big deal in ireland any more cos we've been exposed to other nationalities for so long:

we were to the fore front of religious education in europe since ... whenever
we were among the biggest carriers of passengers from africa to the US in the 1600's, the budget carriers of their day!
we've been going to australia since the 17/1800's, way before the whole backpacker thing
we went Stateside, for spring break I think, in a major way after the big potato strike of 1845
we've obviously had foreign direct investment(FDI) come to the country for centuaries from the normans, vikings, british

and of course perhaps the most forgotton aspect of our rich multicurtural, multiethnic, multinational history is that 'rowdy' bunch of blacks and tans came over for St. Patricks day in 1920 and went a bit mad!

*I'd like to buy the world a home, and furnish it with love...*
