so you are telling me i'm not irish. even though i was born here and my parents were born here but i'm still not irish in your eyes? I didnt know it was possible to be that wilfully ignorant. you have excelled yourself with, quite possibly, the stupidest post on boards in a very long time. congratulations.

If you read what he is saying, he is saying NATIVE Irish, as opposed to Irish. NATIVE Irish is more of a race thing than a nationality thing.

are the people descended from vikings that arrived 1000 years ago native irish?

Sure they're Scandinavians? Go back to Norway or wherever lads.

I'm not here to defend the posters opinion, I'm just pointing out what I think they are trying to say.

btw I also think it's bollix. I think being born here makes you Irish.

I know what they are trying to say and it is bollix.

You’re as native to Ireland as Norris is to the Congo. There’s nothing stupid about that. It’s a fact.

so who exactly are the native irish? if you descended from celts then you are not native irish either.

Fionn MaCumhail and Cu Chulainn.

how about mentioning some real people? and anyway, they were celts. celts are not native to ireland.

Retrofitting solar panels on your house in Ireland is a waste of money. They’ll probably be in a skip by the time they start paying off.

I think the whole Native Irish thing is a ridiculous concept and completely disagree with it.

Saying that I was lambasted by a significant amount of people on a different thread about most beloved Irish people. I put Phil Lynott as an example and a considerable amount said that he wasn't Irish as he was born in the Uk. BS.

I also was told that Martin Sheen couldn't be Irish even though his mother was from Tipperary and his Uncle fought in the War of Indepndence. His father was Latino but I still consider him Irish.

that is my position as well. the "Native" irish thing is nonsense and is just a dog whistle.

But even though there were invasions by other peoples there were still native Irish here who later had children with invaders or their children. Meaning there are still people from the native "bloodline" for want of a better word. Or are you saying that the Vikings or Celts emptied the country of natives and then repopulated it themselves?

who are these native irish? give me an example of one. how can they be identified?

Yes, its a sh1tty thing to do to someone (forward on their naked selfie) but if a person sends a naked selfie/dic pic to someone, its then "out there" and there's no getting it back. So why not have some fecking common sense and stop sending the nude pics in the first place? Why do people do this anyway (I guess its a generational thing as I'm 50 and just don't understand why!)? After my divorce, I dated a woman a good bit younger than me (16 years) and she had a fetish for sending nude pics to me at all times of the day. I was in meeting or driving on the M50 with my kids in the back seat etc and up pops a nude selfie from her. I told her to stop and deleted all the pics but she just couldn't help herself. Looking for attention/reaffirmation perhaps but it got to the point I just ended it and blocked her as she was so insecure and up her own ass. Then a month later, she sends me a threatening letter saying if I didn't delete all the photos, she'd go to the Guards. I told her I'd deleted them upon receipt which only p1ssed her off even more

His father was Spanish, not Latino.

I think people who sent stuff privately have a right to be pissed off, thats absolutely not on.

I think however for the 'onlyfans' girls. Anyone who has ever watched an illegal stream, pirated a song or movie etc... can't condemn that. The material was always going to be leaked, if you're going to take your kit off for money online, it was an inevitable outcome.

Look I agree it's a lowlife thing to do to someone but even stuff sent "privately" to your current wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend is making yourself hostage to them if the relationship breaks down and the other party wants "revenge" for whatever reason. The one I dated was "separated" from her hubby but went back to him when I ended it as she just couldn't be on her own. I guess she was terrified I'd tell him what she'd been up to while they were separated. I honestly and truly couldn't be ar$ed doing something like that, and like I said, I had immediately deleted each and every one of her intimate pics upon receipt. But going crying about it if your naked selfie subsequently gets widely published is pathetic as you should have had more cop on than to do it in the first place. Keep the nakedness for when you're actually with your partner. Sending naked pics is a sign of neediness and or narcissism imho.
