    Sometimes I read boards.ie and I wonder if some of us are tipping over into madness or a parody so extreme, we can't see it for what it is.

    We* hate ourselves. We hate foreigners. We hate ourselves for liking foreigners. We hate ourselves for hating foreigners. We hate ourselves for adopting foreign customs. We hate ourselves for not adopting foreign customs. We hate our desire to be part of the world. We hate our desire to be isolated. We hate the British. We hate those who hate the British. We hate the Americans. We love to hate the Americans. We hate those who love to hate the Americans. We hate accents. We hate D4 accents. We hate Northern accents. We hate culshie accents. We hate skanger accents. We hate bland accents. We hate those who hate the myriad of accents in our island. We hate those who left. We hate those who stayed. We hate the left. We hate the right. We hate nationalism. We hate those who hate nationalism. We hate unionism. We hate those who hate unionism. We hate the church. We hate the gays. We hate the church that hates the gays. We hate the haters who hate the church who hate gays.
















    (all of the above may be untrue or true. and by "we", I mean "some" and by "some" I mean a majority or a minority. depending on the day that's in it)

    Dude you need to chill out a bit and stop taking what people post on the internet so seriously. I cant speak for others but i definitely become more opinionated when posting on the likes of boards. Then i log off and realise i really dont give a sh1t.

    Reading an internet forum isn't a good gauge. Boards seems to have more than it's fair share of gobsh¡tes and keyboard warriors. Would these people speak their words face-to-face like they do on here? I don't think so, or they would spend most of their day picking up their teeth.

    From the people I meet in a real world situation, we're a great people! A bit begrudgerish (new word alert), but great for all that.

    Hate is a very strong word to. Use i think it's dislike.

    Plus freedom of speech allows us to publicly dislike want we like

    I'd say its closer to the truth to say anonymously-publicly. That we're a nation of hatin' keyboard warriors?

    People throw around the word "hate" so much that it doesn't mean anything anymore.

    "I hate Geordie Shore!"... Do you really hate Geordie Shore, or is it just a TV show that you don't enjoy watching? I think Geordie Shore is ****. But I don't hate it. I'm not in it's target audience so therefore do not enjoy it.

    Please stop misusing the word "hate", people. You're ruining it for the rest of us.

    It's said that the Irish are a nation of begruders... and being Irish and living in Ireland all my life - I have to agree. Seen alot of examples.

    But I think its actually just people in general. No one wants anyone to get ahead unless its themselves (or those closest to them) Life is a rat race. So the americans, english, french etc you name it etc are the same.

    Maybe we just express it more 'openly'

    I've found over the years and various accounts I've had, boards.ie is absolutely not any kind of barometer for wider Irish society. You only have to take a break from boards for a few weeks and come back, you'll be instantly struck by the amount of ill-will, negativity and passive aggression.

    So polling boards.ie is just that, polling boards.ie. Don't expect to glean any more from it than that. There are often similar polls held on thejournal.ie as there are here but when compared to each other, the results vary hugely.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
