What has Boards.ie taught you

It has taught me that Aldi/Lidl are the best supermarkets in the world and if you say anything against them then you are a snob.

If you are on the dole then you are a sponger, and if you are a catholic you are a weirdo...

And if you are a catholic on the dole who shops anywhere besides Aldi/Lidl then you are a total outcast..

Have I forgot any, and what has boards.ie thought you

*NB*
I am a atheist who shops at Aldi....but I am on the dole ( for now )

Boards.ie stops me getting bored sometimes.

Before boards I never knew there were Irish Creationists. I did not think such a beast could have evolved (pun intended) in this country.

campo · 25-10-2013 10:15PM

Also boards loves a bargain......then again who doesn't

Boards.ie has taught me that the pc brigade is strong and growing stronger by the day. The death of the internet is neigh apon us

The Big Smoke · 25-10-2013 10:18PM

Never EVER say DH, DS, DD, DW, SIL etc etc or you will be subjected to soul destroying ridicule

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 25-10-2013 10:23PM

That people say more than their prayers - as my dear hold mother used to say. That boards.ie gives them an opportunity to be the tough hardassed guys they never are in real life.
That the country is full of barrack room lawyers.
That basic grammar and spelling in this country has gone to the dogs.
That there is a wealth of expertise out there. That many people do genuinely like to help others out.
That some people just like a good argument.
That forums differ hugely in the type of people you come across on them.

canadianwoman · 25-10-2013 10:23PM

That the Irish eat more then just potatoes.

Eeden · 25-10-2013 10:24PM

That there are lots and lots of indignant folks out there.

nocoverart · 25-10-2013 10:25PM

It taught me to get out more.

BabyGorilla · 25-10-2013 10:26PM

That even if you're the most hardened of activists for (group X), any tiny hint of inference of understanding towards (group Y) makes you one of the enemy.

That even if you're completely and utterly neutral on an issue yet show any tiny hint understanding towards one side it makes you one of the enemy.

(whereupon you inherit extreme characteristics)

A six page letter will then be required to explain yourself to someone who needs it spelled out with crayons.

(this same person will have since left their computer and gone to buy drugs - you wont get the grovelling reply that the universe owes you)

Katunga · 25-10-2013 10:27PM

That a lot of rides use the internet.

After 14 years of school, most irish people still cant ****ing spell and have non-existent grammar. But most importantly every Irish person is an expert on everything from the economy to education

Focus_sligo · 25-10-2013 10:31PM

That it's wrong to be a republican, have republican thoughts or be a republican supporter!

Ihatecuddles-old · 25-10-2013 10:33PM

That I love the Irish sense of humour more than I thought I did.

Capital 'I' please, Irish is a nationality.

That criticizing grammar inevitably leads to being ironically criticized in return by some 'douchebag' and one's own downfall.

The_Pretender · 25-10-2013 10:36PM

That people never mature :pac:

I used to be a spelling/grammar nut too. But then I realised that spelling is very, very difficult for quite a lot of people (in the same way that maths can be difficult for some people, and that people who are dyslexic have trouble with reading). It's NOT a moral failing. And it can't always be blamed on "bad education".

And also, good grammar on a discussion site on the internet is really not that important. In fact, using bad grammar is a really good way to wind up the more uptight folks, so Yay!

That I am going to beat the living shit out of the next person who corrects spelling or grammar, or implies that there is incorrect spelling or grammar anywhere else in this thread.
