    Ah bless it's still trying to argue. You haven't a notion what I do for a living and to be honest your lame guesses aren't even close.

    But if you think "de immigrants are stealing all ur jubs" too then I'd guess that whatever job you've rolled yourself into doesn't take too much brain power because to be honest I've yet to see even a spark of original thought in one of your posts. You just blab out the same auld sh*te as other people and then resort to petty insults when challenged or asked to back anything up. Same auld lazy f*cking sh*te as the others. It must be annoying to be so un-f*cking-original but then again you probably don't even notice how cliched and pathetic your opinions actually are.

    Now now...sounds like you are getting a bit annoyed there, i'l leave it at that.. run along now.. someone needs something printed or scanned/photocopied from you i'm sure :)

    Can't even come up with something new?

    Not even one new thing? Oh dear. That's very poor form.

    I forget sometimes that your engine is operating on a much lower miles per gallon than mine though so I admit I expected too much from you.

    Come back to me when you've actually got a point instead of just repeating the same juvenile thing over and over again.

    ....emm...what? Do please explain with a few examples there, as this is all news to me.




    You seem to be confusing race/ethnicity with culture.

    I haven't confused anything. I don't feel the need to provide extended elaborations to your two one-line questions. I said everything I wanted to say within that post (from which you conveniently pulled two passages, disregarded the rest and decided you wanted answers). I'm not a performing seal.

    I pulled a passage from one of Anonboy's posts earlier, but I asked him a direct question which required a simple yes or no answer, I didn't just focus on one thing and demand 'explain'. You won't be happy with whatever I say anyway, because it's not what you want to hear. Whatever I said, you'd twist it into whatever you wanted to twist it into and more melodrama would ensue.

    You'll get what you seem to strive for anyway if things continue on the way they're going, you'll hear no more hollering cries of 'Ireland for the Irish', but rather, inertia for the Irish, and Ireland for the immigrants.

    You've handily ignored some of mine though.

    See its odd, because I'm a life long republican, and I've been around "foreigners" and haven't been made any less Irish by the experience. And of course you can't/won't explain why having them here will affect Irish culture, so it really does look like you just object to their presence.

    So when do we get to 200?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    So when do we get to 200?

    New Year's Eve.

    It's a dude from Papau New Guinea and he's getting a free car, a free job, a free house, a free wife. And he's getting to p*ss on the Book of Kells and take a dump on a first edition copy of Ulysses.

    It's gonna be quite the party.

    Multiculturalism has failed in the rest of Europe, we should take our heads out of our arses and not make the same mistakes as Britain,Germany,France etc...

    Yes, Germany is clearly the poor man of europe and a disaster. London wasn't on fire last time I looked either.

    The French state has never practiced "multiculturalism".

    The German chancellor herself said that multiculturalism has failed, So did prime minister David Cameron and would you believe so did Nicolas Sarkozy.

    Considering that until 2000 German citizenship was extremely difficult to get for one not of 'german blood', I'd suggest they'd have to try it first.

    A tory said that? Wow. London still isn't on fire though.

    He did indeed. He wasn't talking about France though, because its never been a French policy.

    But Cameron was talking about passively not questioning extremism in that speech.

    He wasn't saying that foreigners not be allowed into the UK or not be allowed become British citizens which is what you're presumably thinking he meant.

    Well its better then introducing the whole of Africa and the middle east and wherever else into Europe.

    And please enlighten us as to how logistically one would go about organising a "send 'em back where they came from" policy?

    Would it be everyone that isn't an EU citizen? Or should we ship them off too?

    Americans and Canadians should be told to f*ck off? Or is it just Africans and people from the Middle East? What about Australians?

    What's your criteria for deciding who gets sent home and who gets to stay?

    Come on. If it's such a great idea let's see you plan it out there so we can all bask in the brilliance of the plan.

    Let's see your great plan in action dude.

    ......there were actually more immigrants in the 50's and 60's than there is now, so no, it won't "keep increasing".

    So that English lad who used to work on the sites and now works in my local chipper? GONE.
    That Aussie girl on her gap year before college who's behind the bar in the Woolshed? GONE.
    The old recently widowed American man who spent some time in prison in the 1960's for protesting the Vietnam war? GONE.
    The healthy African guy with no criminal record who drives a taxi? GONE.
    The German dude who works for Google but only has a diploma? GONE.
    The Mexican Professor who lectures in a university but caught hepatitis from a blood transfusion? GONE.

    Great idea dude. That's really well thought out.

    Why don't you write to your local TD and propose that idea. I'm sure they could do with a good laugh.

    Americans,Australians and Europeans share similar cultures, Africans and middle eastern people do not... moving them over here in droves will end in ghettos and non integration.

    During the period from the late 1920s until the 1990s, here in my own county we build the then largest power station in the world... all with our own Irish labour.

    Not much use without boilers, all designed and built by Americans.

    http://www.esb.ie/main/about-esb/powerstations/moneypoint/technicaldata/technicaldata.jsp?sValue=boilers&submit=submit&go=Go

    Or electrical generators which were assembled and constructed in Switzerland.

    Or Steam turbines designed by a Swedish/Swiss company.

    Or Controls designed by Siemens Teleperm, a German company.

    Or Induced Draught fans each designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, an American corporation.

    Or two 40 ton ship unloaders, designed by PWH (Germany)

    Or Transformers designed by ASEA Lepper(Germany)

    Will I go on?

    Oh so it's just non Westerners you don't want then? Oh ok.

    You didn't detail that in your plan.

    That's even better. Good luck with it.

    I look forward to seeing it in operation. Since you've thought it out so well I'm sure there'll be no trouble.

    You really come across as an arrogant, smarmy little man. You should probably just do as the mod advised and shut your trap. This is getting you nowhere apart from being namechecked in people's minds as someone to avoid in threads in future.

    When he writes to his local TD that those people should be 'GONE' as you put it, won't you please pack up your bags and hit the road as well? I'd say you'd integrate well in Lagos or somewhere. Then you wouldn't have to pain yourself looking at us Irish everyday. I'm sure there's a position for an incompetent employee who's apparently at work but spends all his time spouting nonsense on an internet forum. Maybe from Lagos you could get involved in those spam emails, send them en masse to all of our email addresses and try to swindle us out of money, as recompense for getting you deported.

    Remind me again about the place of Kebabs in Irish culture...ah yes. Essential post pissup food.
