    What is it with this country.

    The irish man has been the pesant of Europe for 300 years. The EU decide to throw a few scrappings his way and now he suddently thinks he is king of the world.

    At least irish women are ok so

    They work far too hard, thats the problem. If they ever stopped to think............ Then we may get somewhere, everyone chasing the MTV lifestyle.

    I want my... I want my.... I want my MTV. Unfortunately I have to install some microwave ovens and move some colour TV's. Damn capitalist pigdogs.

    Buying "property abroad", discussing rental yields, capital appreciation and so on. Drinking lattes, eating panninis. Even look at the ads on TV showing "office banter" among would would in the past be called retards.

    It is amazing how easily he has been had. Now look at the situation, his smugness blinds him to the fact that he is being shafted at every turn.

    Any clown with a degree seems to think he is immune from being conned, which just makes him more of a pleb.

    Even look at the topics of the threads in this afterhours forum. Pure degrading trash, and the little office worker bee swallows the lot, and whats more he/she has this recently developed social conscience. They want to save the whales, for fcuk sake if you are dumb enough to buy bottled water they will contribute 10 litres to africa for every litre you buy. What tatter.

    The social engineers have a prime example of their trade in the "new" irish man.

    A disgrace.

    apart from the first sentence ... I think he could be right


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Oh, the "new" irishmam has no problem with that, the problem is that he will adapt and accept anything that is put upon him.

    The fighting irish, more fight in a dead dog.

    QUOTE]
    The ' fighting irish ' slogan was used to beef up the courage of the irish who were figting in the american cival war .

    it was also adoted by hollywood when ever they needed an 'irish' angle in their war films .


    The british also adopted it as a way of describing the irish when they were trying to recruit irishmen into the British army . The 'big drinkers ' tag also entered the equation and the ' fighting big drinking irishman ' sterotype entered folkore around the world .

    Some even bought into and believed this sterotype not helped by the fact that some irish tried or felt they had to live up to up to it ,the sterotype that is ;)

    Me thinks OP has watched Fight Club a few too many times.

    Back in the old days an Irishman had to walk for 13 miles through the whipping rain, with no shoes, and a cow tied to his back, to get a permaban. These kids of the Celtic Tiger don't know how easy they have it, getting permabans willy nilly without even getting up off their arses!

    Couldn't tell ya, I'm far too busy discussing property prices over a latte with me potato-head chums. Jaysus though the price of a feckin' panini these days is robbery.

    Seriously missed the point there OP - it wasn't the message, it was the medium. Pompous faux-intellectual tripe doesn't generally wash in AH

    Either proffer a solution, your solution to the current 'societal ills' as you see them......or please refrain from posting this pseudo-intellectual handwringing garbage.

    Put up or shut up.

    How is it psuedo intellectual? That post is barely in english. It's a metaphorical sprawl, on toilet paper, done with poop in a lonely cell long after anyone has stopped visiting the mental hospital.

    With "witty retorts", it often helps if they make sense.

    A laptop is also a personal computer.
