"Introducing baby Aurla!!!!!!! 7lbs 4oz!!!! Mom is doing well and so is Aurla. Can't wait to go home and settle this little madam into her surroundings."

Not a particularly amusing post, I grant you, but I have one word for you.

Aurla.

On a similar vein, here's one I shared on my Facebook before:

"Please copy and paste this as your status if you know someone, or have heard of someone who knows someone. If you don't know anyone, or even if you've heard of anyone who doesn't know anyone, then do still copy this. It's important to spread the message. Oh, and the hearts. ♥ ♥ ♥ For f*ck's sake, don't forget the hearts. ♥ ♥ ♥"

I'm a foreigner and I've had enough issues trying to pronounce/spell Irish names since I've moved here now they're starting this ****!! I swear to everything holy and unholy that if I come across this in real life, I will pimp-slap them and then track down their parents and kick them in their nuts/ovaries.

It's probably just Orla but he got the spelling wrong.

"in my personal opinion secondary school is a complete waste of time the whole idea and system is non beneficial nothing i ever learned in secondary school has ever came of any use to my life instead of teaching complected mathematics that 99% of us will never use again why not teach people how to live a long healthy life, prepare young people for the reality there stepping into when there leaving school . how to get a job ,how to raise kids , teach people about current ongoings rather than stuff from 100s of years ago . teach people the skills they will actually need in life what good is Macbeth to somebody who could have had a better life if he just knew how to manage him self a little bit better id say most of you probably think im loosing my mind but in my opinion instead of teaching people about history why not teach them about future"

I guess there are elements of truth in what he/she says, there are vast chunks of what we do in school that is largely pointless and there are whole areas and skillsets that are ignored that would be hugely beneficial. To say secondary school is a complete waste of time is a bit mad though :pac:

In my personal opinion, those things are supposed to be taught by your parents.

What if the parents are morons too?

A lad I know changed his profile picture 7 times yesterday.

Saying that it is once or twice most days. I've had the same one for years

I assume people who change their profile pics frequently have some unhappiness in their lives and are seeking validation. One attractive friend does it constantly, my other gauche friends say "isn't she beautiful, she's always smiling". I'm the cynic wondering why the craving for attention and likes.

Same here.
First time i had to talk to an Aoife i went around asking how to pronounce that as i didnt want to come up with some pronunciation that might be turning into an insult.
I then met a non-Irish couple who got a kid here, gave it an very Irish name and moved to the continent.

I disagree. I want to stay in now. I don't want to go out to the pub and drink the night away with friends who were really more drinking buddies with whom I had good craic rather than people with whom I shared interests and opinions. I now stay in touch with people I have met and where we share, say, a love of trail running, I can now arrange to meet them through Facebook and I see it as a medium that has enhanced my life. I don't think it inhibits getting a life at all, I think it has enhanced it.

All that said, most of the stuff on it is dross. Just as was most of the stuff I would hear in the pub.

Of course, and I've all my personal info on here to! Forums are round long before social media sites. Put down the phone and start socialising!

I don't have facebook... but a forum is a social media site. And unlike Boards, you can restrict what and who can see any of the information you put up.

Both have good points alright but conor you do highlight a major flaw in Irish mentality regarding socialising. There are other and possibly better ways to socialise other than the pub. Social media is actually anti social in nature. I've been informed recently that it's starting to appear in research that some that spend a lot of time on social media sites are showing signs of unhappiness or even development of mental health problems. I do see some of its benefits but can also see it's downfall. A lot of people spending too much time on it. It's not good for their development particularly young people. I do think it's riff with bullying. It must be tough on young people

I agree with the bullying thing and consider myself lucky to have been young long before mobile phone and social media.

But I think spending a lot if time at anything can be a negative thing, from golf to pub to Facebook. I don't think social media is per se anti social, but it can be, it can also be a great medium for communication, for finding people I haven't seen in years and keeping in touch, for arranging to meet up with people with shared interests and so on.

And it can also provide some dumb and great status updates...
