What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

Funding them is one thing, it goes well beyond that in Ireland though. I'm of the view that the state uses them as a false consensus for things they want to push anyway.

Something happens, NGOs react demanding X, then either Leo or Martin will say: "there's a clear demand for X", then X becomes legislation that passes without any dissent at all. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, and it's the hand of the NGO that is the sole shaper of these policies, but if that's the case then it's even worse, as it means that the state has essentially been subverted by unelected groups, which doesn't match any definition of democracy that you'll find. If we lived in a honest society, it would considered completly anti democratic, and if we had a fair media, it would be pointed to regularly. We have none of those things though, so we're meant to just tolerate our undemocratic "democracy". Question any of these things, especially as a public figure, and you'll be labelled as a radical, often by the worst radicals in society.

There was literally one theory in that post, one you never tried to make an argument against likely because you can't.

Talk about unadulterated muppetry.

FFS.

There was no big fooking increase of incoming migrants in the 70s and 80s.

In the 1970s some Irish returned home from likes of UK, but by 80s some of them were leaving again.

Jaysus fook the country was on it's knees, most of my leaving cert class in late 80s left if they didn't have a college to first go to, and after college most left as well.

And laying the groundwork for Intel and big Pharma.

WTF are blattering on about.

The number of foreigners working in the multinationals here in the 70s and 80s was small and it was primarily the managers.

It seems you were one of the few that seemed to live in a parallel cosmopolitan Ireland.

You remind of that other poster around here who claimed we all had personal computers in the mid 80s.

You think of your own personal little cossetted environment and extrapolate a whole different country to the one the rest of us fooking lived in.

Oh and there was no such thing as Nissan Datsun.

It was Datsun, and the parent company from 1981 onwards switched to using their own name Nissan on the cars.

BTW the company in the last few years started using the name in markets like India, Russia for cheap cars.

And as for the other poster here that labels most of the posters far right fascists because they found a couple of posts from a couple of posters that were probably promptly and rightfully banned.

And no one, bar maybe the couple of exception posters, has ever claimed we should have absolutely no immigration.

Most people want controlled immigration ala Australia.

Talk about fooking jumping to conclusions, some here would be Olympic champions at it.

Do your own research.

My point still stands. You are talking utter drivel.

Spot on. Resorting to reason, common sense or even national self preservation by way of a counter argument is just pissing in the wind when dealing with a cultish belief system. In fact any discussion often provokes a visceral hatred. A frenzy. There may be no solution short of catastrophes such a WW1 or 11 to flush the system.

Good thing we get to hear every time a migrant commits a crime because it gets posted in this thread and used to tar all migrants as criminals. Good thing that doesn't happen to Irish people.
