Do some of the people who reply to threads just depress ya

mariaalice

:mad:

For example someone says i have lost my job and im struggling to get by at the moment...in an instant you will get someone saying get rid of the broadband and sky the that reply will get multiply thanks...the inference is that the original poster is a feckless waster!!!!!

Then theres....everyone on social welfare is a sponger followed by lots of hear say...that one always gets lots of thanks as well

Followed by all public servants are a bunch of wasters.

I was following a tread in the Irish economy about public servants and one of the contributories said nursing is becoming a glamor profession!!! only in Ireland would you get someone saying nursing was a glamorous profession...you would never get a German saying something like that.

The amount of resentment, ignorance, nastiness among Irish people is astounding.

Very true; they'd be saying it in German.

Nope. I ignore the stuff that might annoy me and concentrate on the good stuff. No point in getting upset over something someone said on the internet.

Yeah I agree with you. Like when someone starts one of those "Irish people are all begrudgers" or "why are so many Irish people nasty" threads right?

Yeah it's fukking annoying alright.

Not really - most people on boards are scumbag scroungers, Daddy's rich offspring or think they're witty internet nerd. So opinions here are nonsicle

Nurses are too highly celebrated in this country. It's a fking job, which you get paid good wages for. If you don't like it then shut up and piss off. It's the lower paid and less celebrated nurses aids that do all the dirty work anyway.

Just a job? I think not. Good wages? Having worked with them for many years, they certainly are not well paid enough.

Precisely, that's why they are called nurses aids.

Would have to agree with you there, been lucky enough to only have a few hospital encounters but each time the nursing staff have been outstanding. Particularily the midwives and trainee midwives in The Coombe.

People are sooooooo mean.

Ah that's just modern Ireland for you. Instead of doing what the French and Greeks did we whinge and moan, and not even about the people that caused all this:eek:, oh no we moan and whinge about the people stitching us back together, ****ing Irish, god I'd love to leave. The more this recession goes on and the more I see idiots blaming everyone except the people that deserve it the more I honestly think we deserve to be treated like serfs. So sick of people trying to tear each other down instead of tearing down the government.

Spending too much time on After Hours can really get you down.
Replaced are the laughs for anything that is depressing to some degree.

After Hours is suppose to be that Pub where you go to forget your troubles and have a laugh with people of your kind.

Of late I feel like I have been drinking with homeless winos.

i agree with you, and must admit i'm guilty of it myself.
i wouldn't necessarily call it nastiness.

i think it's more CYNICISM and it's a symptom of the level of frustration & helplessness most people in this tiny screwed up little rain sodden rock are now feeling.

if you even attempt to be idealistic here, people will immediately assume you're cracking up.:o

What do they do that goes beyond their job to earn it? They look after the sick and the dying. That is their job description, that is what they do. That is what they train to do. They go into the job knowing the implications and difficulty and the salary scale. Yet they still strike twice a year.

Precisely, that's why they are called nurses aids.

And they get praised far less than nurses?

One result - your post. That's pretty cool, there's a word for when you define something that only comes into existence the moment you say it.

The same as Ireland's going to do i.e. surrender to the Germans.

Work extra hours (unpaid),
work extra shifts,
Working continually with dangerously low levels of staff which other professions or industries would never tolerate.
Work continually beyond what we would consider a normal 40 hour week per week.
Doing administration duties - which is not there job.
Performing cleaning duties - which is not their job.
I have seen countless nurses come off call from night duty and then report for a day shift in less than 24 hours - blatantly illegal I might add. Oh they never moaned about it, it just boils my blood that they put up with it.
Assaulted and threathened while on duty and yet still turn up for work. A garda friend of mine was on sick leave for 6 months after receiving a push. It was all 'psychological' of course.

WindSock wrote: »

So now the INO are holding 2 strikes per year? You are talking about the right country here I assume? The last time the INO striked was in 2007 and it was pathetic really - a series of 1 hour stoppages. The reason for their strike you ask? Nurses were being increasingly taken away from their patients. Why? Because they were increasingly having to perform adminstration duties - which wasn't their job.

Regarding nurses aids, I have never heard nurses denegrating the role of nurses aids. I was highlighting that the very title indicates what their role is - to aid nurses.

In fact the only time I have heard a nurse complain, is when they are taken away from doing what they do best - looking after all of us.

Depends, there are a few posters who cannot accept that others have a different opinion and are entitled to to have their own point of view.

You mean without the quotes? Not sure what exactly a few protests against Roma expulsions and against measures to limit the social security deficit by pushing back the retirement age to something sensible would do for Ireland.

:rolleyes: Ah now you're being deliberately obtuse, I'm not going to reply to you anymore, if you get stung for being WRONG then at least admit it and don't try to change the context of the discussion.

I rarely respond or even view most threads on boards anymore. Once you've lurked here long enough you can predict the daft twattish responses that will ensue.

ouch, don't think that's warranted, its mariaalices p.o.v.

we all have one, just like i don't agree with your comment above even if it is in jest.

mariaalice

A very important point in my thread is the word SOME in the title!

Not all Irish people are resentful or nasty there are lot of open minded insightful kindly well meant replies to threads as well..... its just there appears to be a huge amount of the other kind.

Dudess

I think the point though was that there was no need to put any nationality in there - that it's just some people in general for ya, no matter where. Badness has no national boundaries.

To be fair OP, the vast, vast majority of people here seem all right - I mentioned before how it was really nice to see practically every poster sympathising on the thread about that man who worked for Anglo Irish Bank and who committed suicide.
Then, people sometimes crack jokes about sensitive topics and not everyone appreciates them - I think it should be borne in mind though that they're generally not from a cruel place and are essentially good-natured.

Some nasty peeps here though who contravene the "Don't be a dick" rule but not quite enough for reprimand, however they're really only a tiny minority. It's not always easy, but the absolute best policy in relation to them is: ignore. Or thank them - I do that quite a bit.

mariaalice

Dudess i normally agree with your posts but this time i have to say i dont...resentment and begrudger is a very Irish thing that you dont see as much in other cultures...the thing about stereo typing is it has to have some roots in reality or it wouldn't developer as a stereo type...every countries has a culture and a way of living and reacting that is different hence we dont have riots against the government the way they had in Grease we are more likely to moan and complain and do nothing because we are IRISH.....its suppose to have developed because we were ruled by the British for 800 years... Irish people developed two way of speaking one to their landlords and British rulers ( deferential ) and one among our selves...not sure if i agree fully with that as an explanation!
