    Still wondering: why are Irish people going on about "the Irish" and "they/them" as if they're a separate entity to them?

    Thank you. My new word for today.

    Plenty of evidence here:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057249879
    that the Irish have truly learned little, with a low regard for the law of their land, and a poor sense of reality as they grasp for every half-baked or red herring excuse to justify their tough talk on how they will not pay their way and instead expect something for nothing. As with the property tax, it is like watching the tantrum of young child trying to resist being taught to do the right thing by its parents - but they will all end up paying in the end.

    The fcukan Germans should have been nuked in 1945. That'd have solved most of it before it (re-)started.

    The war with Germany was over before the first atomic bomb was ready in July 1045.

    Well, my contact in the retail sector has confided in me that sales of barely fresh demi-baguettes with "butter" and fresh yesterday sausages served with eggs and bacon that look like they come from a child's play food set from Toymaster, have increased two-fold in recent times.

    We'll never learn, sadly.

    I can see that the Celtic Tiger is really revving up in my local area again.

    Let's all get jobs in incredibly volatile industries and borrow 15 times our yearly wage and blame the gubbermint when it inevitably all goes tits up.

    The Irish. We love having the craic and not thinking.

    There's over half a million foreign nationals in Ireland , (Source : http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/500000-foreign-nationals-are-now-calling-ireland-home-28817542.html )

    As immigrants generally are from younger generations, chances are more of them use the internet so my guess is a good percentage of boards.ie users in Ireland are foreign nationals.
