Why are Dublin people so insecure about where they live?

After visiting Cork at the weekend, I think the capital should be moved there. Much more "irish" and so much friendlier than dublin. Maybe we an sell dublin to norway or denmark or perhaps they can just rename it west britain and set up an independent nation.
:rolleyes:
Not the brightest spark, are you. Just another muck-warrior with chip on shoulder.
Orange pilled.

Nope. We need to remain the capital. We know how to use our capital letters in Dublin !

Dublin was at its best when it was part of the British Empire. People loved it back then from all accounts. Since then, it hasn't been as good and going from personal views today of people who live in Dublin, this seems to be the case.
A lot of people in Dublin don't seem to feel wanted by the rest of the Republic. It is a bit like Cork in many ways.
You're not getting it back you know?

"Muck warrior" you do realise dublin is actually not the centre of the universe right? My previous comment was actually tongue in cheek but you are paradigmatic of why i will be getting out of this city quicksharp after i get my degree0 -

It's a bizarre thing and only something thats maybe become really apparent in the last 10 years with so much social media and forums like this.
But my impression is Dubliners seem to really have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to anyone from any of the other 31 counties.
- They seem to dislike the national games because they're played more successfully elsewhere.
- Seem to have a genuine dislike of customs, accents and locations everywhere else in the country. I remember one Dublin guy on that TV3 show take me out saying he was hoping for a Dublin girl as he "dislikes the culchie accent". I was unaware all 31 counties and 5 million people shared the same dialect.
- Seem to dislike Irish made programs that aren't made in Dublin or programs in the Irish language, generally it seems to be more acceptable to watch British programming there than say something rural based like Kilnaskully.
I find it quite sad that a lot of people there don't seem to be able to have pride in their city or county and have to snipe through arrogance and igorance at everyone else hiding their own insecurities about where they live, not even at particular areas. Dublin people tend to regard the country as two zones "Dublin" and "the country" which is quite funny, I don't know anywhere else or any other country which would have people so narrow minded as that.
The fact that dublin has the highest emmigration rate in the country is probably testament to how much love its people has for it.
There's a lot of awesome things about Dublin IMO, it isn't warranted.
Its because the elite in Dublin arnt actually Irish0 -

I don't usually reply to posts like this, but I have work to do and I'm procrastinating!It's a bizarre thing and only something thats maybe become really apparent in the last 10 years with so much social media and forums like this.

Serious smell of chips coming from that sentence.
I shouldnt need to ask about the numerous concrete examples where this has been shown to be true?
Cant argue with that. Another excellently backed up point.- They seem to dislike the national games because they're played more successfully elsewhere.
PS, wheres the Sam Maguire these days...?- Seem to have a genuine dislike of customs, accents and locations everywhere else in the country. I remember one Dublin guy on that TV3 show take me out saying he was hoping for a Dublin girl as he "dislikes the culchie accent". I was unaware all 31 counties and 5 million people shared the same dialect.
Ah yes, that would be the King of Dublin, the elected representative of all us Dubs, who speaks for the million of us and tells us what to think.
Presumably you have more to back this point up than some gob****e on TV3???- Seem to dislike Irish made programs that aren't made in Dublin or programs in the Irish language, generally it seems to be more acceptable to watch British programming there than say something rural based like Kilnaskully.
Killinaskully is ****e. So is Fair City. More importantly, so is Take Me Out!! WTF are you doing forming opinions from it anyway??
Also, I'll hazard a guess that nobody outside Dublin has a Sky dish? None of them watch English Soccer, and each and every single person outside Dublin speaks fluent Irish???I find it quite sad that a lot of people there don't seem to be able to have pride in their city or county and have to snipe through arrogance and igorance at everyone else hiding their own insecurities about where they live, not even at particular areas.

I'd imagine wherever you're from being one example.
Re: Emmigration. Shame on us Dubs for having ambition, a sense of adventure, and a desire to have a better life through higher earning jobs elsewhere! For shame, Dubliners!!
You've basically made a post openly insulting every Dublin person as a whole, with the main "facts" backing up your argument coming from feckin' Take Me Out!
Its unfortunate you find it "sad" that people aren't proud of their county. How would they show pride anyway? By conceding every other county in Ireland is better than them? Or maybe try to show of the good points of their own town? It's a lose-lose situation for us Dubs to be honest.
I've lived outside Dublin for 5 years and travelled around a lot. I've been harassed in a lot of places based purely on the fact that I'm "ignorant" (a judgement that has been made without input from me). Presumably my problem is that I'm from The Pale Region?
I've also had mates openly admit to me how much they hate Dubs and how we hate the "country folk" and they've come out with the same ****e you have OP, like "Its only Dublin and everywhere else to THEM!". Utter bollix, with nothing but hearsay and "friends of friends" stories to back it up.
Dubs wouldn't give "country" people half as much abuse as "country" people would give us. Just because we don't discuss you as much as you discuss us, doesn't mean we hate you. OP, you are ignorant of your own country. Congrats.
PS, just out of curiosity OP, answer honestly, how old are you?0
