Full marks on the cultural intolerance front.

A rural republican crusade will never truely fill the gap in your life and you are so far past sell by with your attitude that you will just serve as an embarrassment.

No we don't, Pepsi is pure piss that's why its far less popular in this country than coke

Seanchai wrote: » Sweet Jesus. The garrison game hasn't even got its own stadium here in Dublin, let alone the organisation and popular support which the GAA has in Dublin. Like all its marginalised pikey followers, it's merely a tenant. The only place where soccer is possibly stronger than football in Dublin is in marginalised underclass areas where the residents haven't got the space to play football because it's such a tight squeeze in between the junkies, drug dealers, dole office, offy, bookies, shootings and shoot-ups in the flats. You know, the sort of people who think anybody who is not as marginalised as they are is a snob worthy of being robbed, the sort of people who call Irish sports like football "bogball", and who follow British soccer as if they were their local teams. Complete saps, in other words. Give me "bogball" any day over the game of the British crown forces of occupation in Ireland, and its marginalised tracksuit-wearing Dublin knacker followers.

You think if we remove the irish from roadsigns, we'll be culturally the same as Sussex or Kent! Thank god there's a lot more to irish culture than a language that almost no one speaks!

Considering I've never used that term in my life, you'll be able to give a reference for this? The fact that you've made this allegation without bothering to do a basic check says much about the thought you put into your ideas and your flippant "if you throw enough muck some of it will stick" disposition towards posters here. Lazy and angry. summerskin wrote: » where have you ever lived other than ireland? This is, of course, totally irrelevant because I have lived in so many non-anglophone countries that it's absolutely no big deal. Your line of reasoning is, however, ironic given that I'm the one defending cultural diversity in Ireland and you and he are opposing it.
Seanchai wrote: » You say that as if you had a choice in the matter. You didn't. You simply aren't intellectually capable of holding a serious discussion without reverting to obtuse dichotomies using stereotypes and clichés which more discerning posters would be embarrassed to resort to. Pitiful, really.
