What does anyone think about this?

Do you think Irish people are more lazy and selfish than any other nation?

I think we are just that.

Topper Harley

NO!

I still don't trust Gerry Adams yet and that Mary Lou is a head-wrecker.

No, we're about on par with any other developed western nation.

We're all driven by consumerism and greed in the Western World but we're no worse than any of the others. In fact didn't we top some league of charitable nations or something? And we're quite friendly in general I think, we've been voted that too!

have you spent any time living anywhere else? Irish people stay in work/finish work at home quite a bit, to be honest, in comparison with the Dutch anyway....

You are wrong.

Ireland has been ranked the most charitable country in Europe and the second most charitable nation in the world, according to a new survey.

The World Giving Index, compiled by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), showed 75 per cent of Irish people donated money to charity while 38 per cent volunteered their time each month.

Ireland also had the highest percentage of residents who said they had "helped a stranger" the previous month, at 65 per cent.

People in general are lazy and selfish.

Seriously though Irish people work much, much harder than they realize. We actually have a very strong work ethic but never give ourselves credit for it; I don't know why. I could speculate but won't bother.

Because deep down we're all really protestants and don't want to admit it?

Looking at my new English team mates the above statement appears to be more than incorrect.

You have only to watch a tourist or other foreigner ask for assistance or directions on a street or road in Ireland to see how willingly Irish people are to help other people. I've watched complete strangers go well out of their way to help people they didn't know. I've also witnessed complete pricks do lousy things but the good people vastly outnumber the bad I believe.

Thread and a half! No.

Sometimes I think Irish people are inherently anti-social but maybe it is just that we are historically not used to living in towns and in groups. When I look at the way people park in small towns in Ireland with flagrant disregard for others or the way people let their dogs foul the pavements, or the way they litter I think Irish people are just anti-social.
