Enough of the whingeing

Anyone else tired of all the bellyaching of the general populace? it gets particularly bad at election times. Every 'ordinary Joe' on the radio or tv is complaining constantly and about everything (in particular property taxes and water taxes). Get over it! Apart from the fact most Irish people want great public services, but don't want to pay for them, for these people, everything bad in their lives is someone else's fault. I'm particularly sick of people giving out about politicians; go and stand for election if you think you'd be better.

We are barely out of a recession and mortgages, building houses, propping up the construction industry and first time buyers has maneuvered its way high up on the agenda for a lot of people and government. Not enough idiots left this country during the recession

You have obviously been duped by the current media nonsense. When there is nothing better to write or broadcast they make up stories about property bubbles.

Davarus Walrus · 14-05-2014 09:15PM

Some people are just moany fücks with an unrelentingly negative outlook on life. Personally think much of the whinging and bickering fired out here is as a result of a feeling of hopelessness.

Yes Enda, what did you say in Davos?..."people went mad with borrowing".
It's all our fault so we need to take the private banking debt on the chin and pay it back to our EU overlords over the next 60 years.

PizzamanIRL · 14-05-2014 09:16PM

People must get stressed and worked up complaining about everything. Next time you're going to complain, think to yourself 'Will anything positive come from me complaining? Will the problem be fixed?'

Seriously, try it, you nag.

You obviously missed the governments plans to guarantor first time buyers

Irish people only ever whinge, whether to the newspaper, or joe duffy or in the local.

We dont like the way the politicians/civil servants/bankers run this country but rather than pprotest properly about tax, water charges, garda/politician incompentence etc we whinge and nothing ever changes.
And then we whinge about that:(

I heard about it in passing but I wouldn't form a view based on soundbites and headlines. Explain it to me and why you think it is a bad thing. Up till now the media was collectively wringing it's hands because house prices were falling. Now it's all about a so called bubble

orangesoda · 14-05-2014 09:23PM

you need more men like martin mcguinness, a peoples person

KyussBishop · 14-05-2014 09:25PM

What exactly do people suggest be done about the countries problems? Should these things also be done by 'other people', rather than by pressure from the general population? (pressure which requires learning and complaining about the countries problems)

Thus beginneth the lesson from the Bishop. Further sermons will follow.

As soon as anyone protests they whinge about that. Crusties, "have they nothing else to be doing", professional protesters, no job, communists, magic money tree, the socialist crowd are going so that gives me a good excuse not to show up

People seem to have a fairly high regard for authority in this country no matter how bad they are to us, probably used to it after years of putting up with the Catholic church

Meta-whinging. You're right though OP. I avoid all that stuff for the sake of my sanity. Switch off the TV shows and radio shows. You know the ones. Listen to some music or read a book.

Purple want everything.
People want to pay for fcuk all.

Whomsoever can promise the people everything for nothing shall rule the kingdom.

Roughly 60% of my wages are spent on taxes (maybe more) after you include USC, Income Tax, PRSI, BIK, VAT, Insurance levy etc..

It's ****ing nuts.

How about you go look it all up for yourself instead of looking for me to spoonfeed you information?

Google does come with your isp...

Just let me know whether you think it is a sensible proposal or not.
