    Reasons why Dublin is hateful

    1. The public transport is terrible, you would think it would be good for the prices they charge
    2. It's seen as a luxury to park your car for a few hours the cost of parking
    3. The attitudes of many of the staff in shops, they are rude. it's basic common sense to say hello and thank you.
    4. A lot of people without basic manners, walking in to you, a herd of cattle would have more courtesy
    5. The north sider/south sider divide. Many people in south are arrogant, judgemental and ignorant and many people in North are hard, tough nuts not that different to south siders though they too don't know how to use their heads.
    6. The complete lack of men here, the only decent men are men of the older generations who would give their seat up to an older lady on the bus or a pregnant women. Many dublin and a good few Irish men wouldn't have what it takes to go to military service if this country had one and was compulsory for men. You would see how many spoilt little boys we have here instead of men.
    7. The clannish attitudes and they would rather employ a person because they know them or because they are from Dublin/Ireland than a person who is very skilled at the work and yet they complain that there are a stortage of skilled workers here.

    I know I will get alot of dubliners replying to this, who will take it as a personal insult, lighten up it's only my experiences

    I'm from Dublin and will tell you that people from Dublin are the first to admit that the city has problems. We know it's not perfect because we're from there and we care about it. We don't need anybody else to tell us what we already know. And we CERTAINLY don't need anybody to exaggerate our problems or just plain make shit up.

    Dublin is a great city. It has everything you could possibly want in a city - and more. My major gripe with Dublin is with how it's policed. Skangers in the city centre and in certain areas pretty much have free reign to go around annoying people. If we could cleanse the city of this problem we'd be a lot better. Also, our transport 'system' is frankly embarrassing.

    However, one of the nicest things you can do in Ireland is to sit outside Grogan's on a sunny day with a pint and watch people go by. Or go get lost in the majesty that is the Phoenix Park. I was there recently after a long absence and was blown away by how beautiful it is. It's amazing that a park of that size is kept as well as it is.

    One more thing. For those of you who don't like it - leave. Just go back to where you're from. You're not welcome. Get out. Stay out. We don't need or want you.

    Excellent point. Why stay somewhere you don't like and spend all your time bitching and moaning about it? **** off if you don't like it.

    That's some generalization about a city with a large population, and I am sure you could say that about any big cities or even any large towns.

    1.5 million people in a city is hardly a large population. Its a very small population. There is 7.7 m in London

    It was after two and a half years of living in Dublin when I did a bit of voluntary work with older people did I first meet decent people who you could have a conversation who restored my faith in humanity here. I find many of the older people more approachable and normal. It's many of the younger people that I find are harder to talk to. Im from the North and people are really different in comparsion to dubliners they are much more open mined and easy going. These are from my experiences.

    You're something else. You come to Dublin and get a university education and then bitch about the place. Incidentally - I live in Toronto. Please don't come here; you won't like it here either.

    Its funny how you think im prodestant. So if anyone says they are from the North people to a Dubliner they automatically think they are protestant. You should read a Irish history book, there are also catholic people living in the North. I know people from Donegal who live down here and sometimes they get Dubliners asking them when they say they are from Donegal, is that part of the 6 counties. How could someone not know their own countries very recent history! Its a pity for them I guess they are uneducated.

    I was in Canada before and I loved it and I was liked. Why would you dislike someone because they have a different opinion to you! thats not right everyone can have their own opinions!

    What is the basis for your inference that I think you are Protestant?

    No, Social Care in DIT, apparently. However, I am not sure if she got in.

    You don't get out much, do you if you find that the most ridiculous thing you have ever read. Open a magazine like 'new' or a tabloid newspaper and you will see a variety of strange and ridiculous things. It's only an opinion. There are many many ridiculous things that people actually do that you can read about!
