    Hmmmm, what were we saying about embracing and adopting other cultures, sure what could go wrong like. :)

    Actually, I fully thought that women would liberate the world by now, sadly we see more women adopting the old ways, even though they are free in Ireland, than pushing for equality, which they are entitled to in Ireland.

    I think a country run by women occupying positions of power that men usually hold could be one of the most progressive and tolerant in history. Hopefully it will happen sometime in the future.

    Traditions/culture are just by products of what people do from day to day in order to survive and entertain themselves. They are always changing. The notion that you would intentionally preserve them is a relatively new thing in human history and seems to have come about with the invention of the nation state in the 19th century. Some of them happen to be good in the sense that they're an effective way of doing things or people just enjoy doing them, in other words they've stood the test of time, which is a good reason to preserve them but preserving them out of some sort of "duty" to the tribe as a means of discriminating that tribe from others and satisfying the primal need to prove that you belong to that tribe is a very unhealthy line of thought and often a dangerous road to go down...imo.
    People want to live in Ireland and not Romania or Poland. It ceases being Irish and that is the issue.

    They think differently, that's all, their solutions are unfathomable to the average male, like if I was not in her way she would not have hit me. ?!!! :confused::pac::)

    I couldn't blame them for wanting to drive into a Red Nissan to be fair :p :pac:

    I could go along with that, BUT ~ I don't like female quotas, it should happen because the woman wants to contribute.

    The countries with higher female participation in government generally have higgher living standards. I'm not saying standards are high BECAUSE of women , it could be a coincidence it could well be i just thought it was interesting:)

    Ridiculous, I remember years ago a taxi driver was saying to me "They reckon there will be no pure Irish in 50 years time" -- so f*cking what ??

    Immigrants children here are being brought up in Ireland , in Irish schools with Irish friends ... they will grow up Irish and speak with Irish accents - they are Irish!!!

    We are all immigrants if you go back far enough..


    edit - I don't think I used the word "Irish" enough there :D
    No they aren't.

    Good Lord,most threads in AH either turn out to be racist or sexist.
    This one is obviously the culmination of all the hard work done by the pinko left wing lilly livered liberals and the far right!

    Here we have the AH ultimate thread-both racist and sexist.

    I don't see it that way at all. But if I did, I'd probably agree.

    Maggie Thatcher wanting to nuke the Argies showed more balls than all the US Male Presidents put together, and a few Russian one's too. :)

    Here's a shocker for you. I worked in the tourism sector and tourists constantly commented on the amount of non irish in the hospitality sector. They wondered where the 'Irish' welcome was. You know, the one they were sold by all the ads. Are they all racist now?

    Ironic thing is, you'd never lay a sexism 'victim' !

    They are usually butch or man haters, though the movement was started by a heterosexual married woman who declared that she loved her husband and was not anti marriage or anti male.

    We have been quoted in previous issues of that tourist magazine that makes Cork one of the tenth best places to visit [a paid for ad BTW] that American tourists may as well go to Eastern Europe as the tourist culture is the same.

    We were very quick to buy ad space and the rest is published ~

    you demand an ireland which tollerates attitudes which stem from the mid east while at the same time , claim that those very countries are backward

    its as if you make allowances for mid east attitudes , akin to making allowances for a dog who chews up a couch

    " ah sure he knows no better but im too high brow - tollerant to possibly call him out on it "

    where did i do that?

    Thats actually interesting enough that tourism was mentioned there because when u think about it i do wonder what a lot of Americans coming over here for the ''crack'' think now.

    I use Americans as the example because Ireland and our culture seem to be a huge attraction to a lot of them .I wonder how they feel when they have spent a ton of money to come over to Dublin walk into a shop restaurant or pub and are greeted by someone who speaks broken English and is from some part of eastern Europe.

    Probably the same as how every tourist feels when visiting a big city anywhere in europe . London and Paris in particular, around half foreign born population.
