    I don't judge people by nationality, we are human regardless of where our origins are.

    Like I say I'm born in England, moved here when I was 14 (now coming 26), but consider here to be my home, infact I don't even consider myself to be English. If some people want to judge me because of my accent then thats there problem there's honestly nothing I can do about it. I can live here for the rest of my life but to some I always be judged because of my English accent.

    If you feel it's home, then it's home. People who judge on accent or skin colour etc are pretty shallow and not worth the bother...

    If the foreigners look down on us why are there so many of the living here? To take advantage of us or something?

    I used to love it so much when a "foreigner" took advantage of me, I ended up marrying one :D

    The anti-Irish Irish strike again.

    Are the Polish a laughing stock.?

    With their spudlike faces and their reputation for drunkiness,fighting and laziness do you think other countries really take them seriously.?

    would not be allowed. Not that I think that AH should be moderated over much, but lets give the OP a kick in his trollish arse.

    Visit Sicily or Taiwan and you'll see us in a different light :D

    In many cases (in any of these countries) it tends to be male 17- twenty somethings that are the worst culprits.

    FWIW, I think it's satire and the OP is sending up stereotypes and those who use stereotypes?

    Hope I'm correct in this assumption :D

    She must have been very smart to have tricked you into it. Smarter than us simple Irish folks anyway.

    No, I informed her parents of my intentions :D

    She didn't trick me into it, we got married after living together for 12 years.

    But you're correct, she's very smart indeed. :D

    wha?

    I don't really know how to respond to that post. However, "stoneill wha?" is an anagram of "waste on hill?" to which I say, yes, people do litter up in the Dublin Mountains. If this wasn't your question, I'm afraid I cannot help you.

    None of the AH mods are Irish. They're all Polish people laughing at us.

    If you can't be critical of yourself it's a dangerous thing I'd imagine.

    To quote our own Barry O'Bama for a small country we "Punch above our weight".

    We'll overlook the fact that he has said that about every other small country on the globe also.

    We're not brilliant either though - no country is. The Mauritius thing has really opened my eyes to the amount of hateful, slackjawed yokels in this country.

    But yeh, no need for the silly inferiority complex.
