The majority of Irish people lack any kind of style or class. Whether it be how they dress, how unfit they look and how they misbehave after consuming alcohol.

Irish cities are also filthy, making us one of the most untidiest people in Europe.

there's a major lack of bins in Irish towns, Limerick is an absolute kip as well, its full of chewing gum on the footpath too.

For the day that's in it and for some of the ridiculous things I've seen posted and heard people saying over to past few days-

Here goes:

Those with "the right to vote" should be tested before they vote, to ensure that they actually understand what a candidate stands for / what the motion / proposed change is etc etc before their vote is acknowledged in the final count

e.g. very simple MCQ BEFORE they select their actual choice, the answer of which will cause their vote to be either discounted or included in the final count

I completely agree. When it comes to referendums, a lot of people don't even seem to know what they're even voting for.

Excellent idea, and sounds in no way open to blatant abuse by whoever is setting/marking the tests. Genius in fact.

I think Ray D'arcy is the best presenter in the last 20 years of Irish broadcasting

I still go places where they say they love us. But not everywhere. The young agressive males in Bondi and similar places are giving us a bad reputation.

No, it's not that. After all, I do like milk.

I thought 'The Dark Knight' was complete rubbish. Made especially awful because of Heath Ledger's performance.

Everyone said he was amazing, I thought he was like some poncey drama student trying to mix Jack Nicholson's Joker with Johnny Depp's Keef routine.

Speaking of bad acting, pretty much everything Cillian Murphy does. I know the chicks think he's a really pretty little short arse but he's rubbage.

Especially the Neil Jordan film where he was playing a tranny. I couldn't make out one single word of dialog. It was just mumbling passing as what? A deep involved performance? Pure ****e.

The monty python old woman routine woulda been more convincing.

I think Cillian Murphy is pretty good in general but that Breakfast on Pluto was the greatest hape a dung I ever saw, I don't think that's an unpopular opinion

Really, he got amazing reviews for it at the time. Maybe twas just in Ireland tho coz he's one of our own nd all. Vomit.

Its not the act of travellling as such..its the need to tell everybody else about it.

Much like volunteer,going overseas to work in South African townships do-gooders never shut up telling everybody how great they are.

The act of "Working" does instill a sense of pride, well-being and place within a person. I am in favour of anybody doing good.
I posted about travel, you replied about Work and Talk.
You need to get out more

Brilliant.

Basically, I believe travel can broaden the mind, but that doesn't mean it always will.

Waterford 'City' is not a city.

We should stop sending aid abroad immediately!

We don’t have the money to spare.

We desperately need the money ourselves.

And God knows who’s getting the money on the other end.

Stop this NOW!

Travelling can and does. Seeing how other people live and interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds to you can be a real learning curve. It depends on how you approach the idea of travelling. Not everybody is going to get the best out of it, but a lot of people do.

That said, people who constantly go on about how much they've travelled are annoying.

I dont understand whythe do-gooders always have to go abroad to do thier "charitable work" and never seem to want to help out with deprivation in thier own country.

I suppose its all about a free holiday and a sense of moral superiority.

Not really Dublin and Belfast are way more depressing than Waterford excluding the job market. Look at how nice Waterford is compared to Belfast.

Hardly an unpopular opinion there NC, but I figure I have an even more annoying one- "punters"!

Also I prefer to call my customers just that as "clients" to me just always had an awfully pretentious ring to it.

See when someone shortens it to "bant"? I would have no problem gutting them like a fish
