Should Ireland consider taking in some troubled Japanese families.?

Run_to_da_hills · 16-03-2011 10:36PM #1

With the dire situation out in Japan, contamination concerns possibly for decades, quake and tsunami devastated villages and towns that people will never want to see again.

Meanwhile in Ireland there are thousands of vacant houses lying idle all over the country that could be put to good rather than be demolished.

THe Japanese are perhaps the most genuine and industrious people on earth and I couldn't see them as a any burden on this country whatsoever, If anything they would benefit this state in showing the people here on how to get off their arses.

I wouldn't see a problem with this.

They'll take our jobs :eek:

G_R · 16-03-2011 10:38PM

seriously?

Mister men · 16-03-2011 10:38PM

You know what thats an excellent idea. They could teach us a thing or two about how to live also.

ejmaztec · 16-03-2011 10:38PM

They'll be even more troubled if they come here.

Kiwi_knock · 16-03-2011 10:39PM

I doubt they would want to move to Ireland

galwayrush · 16-03-2011 10:39PM

I'll take in some stinking rich generous ones.:)

I wouldn't see a problem with it either but tbh, they're more likely to rebuild and get back to normality before we could accommodate them!

TheZohanS · 16-03-2011 10:42PM

I'd welcome them.

dvpower · 16-03-2011 10:43PM

I'd say they'd be more inclined to take in some troubled Irish construction workers to help with the rebuilding.

Yeah they'd have their country rebuilt before our county councils could organise a meeting to discuss the matter.

The Japanese ..... a great bunch of lads

argosy2006 · 16-03-2011 10:55PM

I'll take in as many japanese idols i can fit,

Chuchoter · 16-03-2011 11:04PM

For christ sake guys, I wish people would stop going on about Japan like its some back end of nowhere **** country that can't mind itself. Its one of the biggest economies on earth, it can solve its own problems without little old Ireland coming to the rescue.

Maybe once we clear the social housing list and get people off rent allowance

galwayrush · 16-03-2011 11:09PM

I wonder how far the amount of money poured into our zombie banks would go towards rebuilding after the earthquakes/ tsumanis?

partyatmygaff · 16-03-2011 11:11PM

Japan is a major economic power, they hardly need the help of a country that's struggling to stay afloat. Why would any Japanese person decide to move almost to the other side of the planet to a country with serious economic problems?

Earthquakes
Tsunami's
Nuclear meltdowns.

Take your pick

Sticky_Fingers · 16-03-2011 11:20PM

How about an exchange, we'll take some of their cute petite wimmin folk off their hands and we can send over a generous supply of pig ugly colleens to help with the reconstruction and heavy lifting.

Could be funny like the Black family in Curb.

Let's see:

You lose your family, your home and all your worldly possessions.

And then, when you think it can't possibly get any worse, you end up in a ghost estate in Leitrim, thousands of miles away from your homeland and where the inhabitants barely speak English let alone Japanese.

This whole idea is genuinely one of the most depressing things I can think of.

If the cnuts won't sell it at a reduced price to the Irish, I can hardly see them giving the houses for free to the Japanese.

already taken in japanese. students; who were only troubled by adolescence but it could only benefit us, rather than them i think.

they'll survive

Donal Og O Baelach · 16-03-2011 11:31PM

Pile them in if they want to come - sure they're only small.

But hang on, if we did that, and then say there was a natural disaster in some obscure African country (God/Buddha/Tom Cruise forbid), then we would have to make the same offer to them fellas too - or we would be accused.

Not so many takers then I'll wager. That's because the Japs are westernised, like us. - sure they could almost be in the Eurovision song contest.

I was intending to use satire to highlight a latent but inherent racist attitude in western society.
But now you've spoiled it.

Indeed.

Dj Stiggie · 16-03-2011 11:51PM

Ya know, if they would actually go for it, that's not the worst idea I've ever heard

16-03-2011 11:54PM

I was thinking this a few days ago, I reckon they'd be more than welcome, loads of empty houses all over the country. In fairness though unless the nuclear thing goes badly I reckon they'd sooner stay in Japan.
