doesn't work so well having more than one as far as i can see. bring out a really sound canadian lad tonight who gets started on by one of my friends who's hammered. pretty bad so i walk home. everything very awkward.

i'm sitting here thinking i'm not gonna introduce anyone new to this group of friends again which is such a bad buzz but seems like the only option.

how in the hell does it work in ireland? (and doyler, get an account already..)

I think he means that if you have a few sets of friends that you shouldn't introduce one set of friends to another set. It'll only cause trouble.

And OP, yeah, I've noticed the same. It can work but it usually doesn't.

i should have specified..
"how in the hell does it work in ireland? (and doyler, get an account already..) "

what does ireland have to do with it? i do agree somewhat though, my group of friends from college and group of friends from home are a bit...different. im sure theyd all get along, but i think it would take a while. no real opportunity for it to happen though

Misread this the first time round. That someone you know would get aggressive with another friend of yours, a guest of yours, kinda just has ARSEHOLE written all over it.

i know certain groups don't mix well, but the above is unacceptable. I just wouldn't hang out with someone like that. BAD form.

yea that's what i needed to hear.. anyways it's done now, learnt my lesson on mixing it up with old friends. bs.!

Make them fight to the death to earn your friendship.

I have several different groups of friends. I would never not ask anyone out because they are from different groups, and if they don't get along it's their own problem.

While I agree that some groups of friends can be on a different wave length to others, I think you are over-looking a bigger problem about last night. Your friend started on this guy, and it wasn't very cool at all tbph. I feel sorry for the Canadian guy to be stuck in a situation like that.

You need to speak to your Canadian friend first and foremost, and apologise profusely for the crap last night. Then I'd go and have some very strong words with the guy who started on him, his actions were those of a scumbag to put it lightly. It only takes one twat to ruin everyones night.

Kiera · 29-07-2009 08:55AM

I've never had problems mixing friends but then again i dont hang around with dickheads.

if your Canadian mate rings D4 hotels and Failte Ireland and tell them about his bad experience in Ireland with Irish People they'll put him up for free in a penthouse and give him a wedge of cash just cos.

I heard it happened to some texans.

the_syco · 29-07-2009 09:44AM

Meh. My metal friends and non-metal friends know each other, but I can't see them chilling in the same room together. No aggro, but just a case of: why would they?

El Siglo · 29-07-2009 09:56AM

OP just out curiousity, are your old friends educated? This makes a difference because if they've gone through the whole 'third level experience' then they're less likely to be as aggressive to anyone new to the group.

What a crock of shít!! You are trying to tell us that people who have taken part in third level education are less violent, and less likely to attack someone? I'd call troll except you're around long enough to know better, and I actually think you believe that crap.

Aye, get some new friends who don't start on newcomers for no reason... Problem solved!

I should have explained better, did the exact same thing as op, when after I went to college I brought one of the lads to my home town, ended up in a big fight for no reason except my school friend (who started the sh*t) said 'that lad's a stuck up c*nt' and the person he was refering to was anything but stuck up. It's not a matter of education, it's experience (and isn't college not a form of 'experience?), and from what I've found people who've left home, etc... done all that 'independence' sh*te are less like to be aggressive to 'outsiders' than the knobs who don't, hence the 'educated' thing, but this has happened to loads of people that I know whenever they introduce college friends or whatever to their other friends and it's always one knob to start a row who hasn't left home etc...

Not that I've ever seen, I've yet to meet somebody who's gone off and in this case gone to college who have beaten up people etc... it's always been the arse hole who's never left home or is just a scum bag in general, has issues or something that tends to start sh*t.

And, if you're a prospective 3rd level student, you can kick the shite out of some one, and have the trial after your college years.

(This of course only applied to 'good people')

Is that all you ever say?

You don't seem to have any arguments to disprove him.

Of course educated, well-off people are less violent than uneducated poor people. This is so incredibly obvious that it beggars belief that anyone could challenge it.

While 'Life experiences' and living independantly change some people, it isn't always the case for others. But that is irrelevant. It is more to do with your perception of right and wrong and maturity. Those are traits that are either there, or they are not.

Oops my bad, there aer plenty of examples of that.

We're all living on the same planet, silly!

The right-on point of view here is to accept that poverty and lack of education cause criminality and to protest the causes of social exclusion, rather than to deny the undeniable.
