i dont get it....

Answer 1

Sorry I don't understand what you mean?

Answer 2

First off get over the pathetic victim complex you have over British rule. The Irish fought for the King in the British Civil War a fact very few people seem to recognise. Now let's address your other victim complex. The foreigners coming over do the minimum wage jobs that the Irish nationals are too lazy to bother getting. I know loads of people who complain that they can't get a job. I tell them McDonald's is hiring and they say they don't want that job they'd rather be unemployed. These are the same people that complain that the Poles are taking all the jobs. If you ask them did they vote for a party who promised more jobs or tighter employment legislation they say there's no point voting. No point voting despite btehm being oh so proud of the great struggle for independence to govern oneself. Those people are blazing idiots and I sure hope you aren't one of them but that's how you come across.

Answer 3

Really, what foreigners?

The only foreigners I can think of are the over 1 million foreign nationals who live and work in the country, but are far away from being "oppressors" or to even have any sort of power here!

Answer 4

I agree, what foreigners? Last time I looked all the politicians of Ireland were Irish.

Answer 5

look back before the 90's and you'll find the Brits complainin the same thing bout Irish people comin and takin their jobs healthcare etc. but look what happened with Ireland and in 30-40yrs Poland, latvia, them dodgy baltic places, etc will all be economically as stable as Ireland is now.

Answer 6

I couldn't agree more.

And then you see the pood duped Irish giving their money to those awful Romany Gypsies who beg in the street.

I've taken the time to watch and follow several of these Gypsies.  For those that don't knowm they are pimped out by a central Gypsy, there is almost always nothing wrong with the beggers, they stand there shaking and bent over, but once thei cup is filled with money they'll skip off togive their earnings to the pimp.

Its discusting - worse than prostitution because the people of Ireland aren't even getting anything for their money.

Wake up and smell the Irish Brew.
