Pure shite

[Canalman]

Utter hatred alot of people have for Irish .

The usual stock / rota reasons nearly always given:

1. Rammed down their throat in school.
2. The book Peig.
3. Friend of a friend tried to learn Irish and was sneered at by the Gaeilgeoirs.
4. The Billions and billions spent by the government on the language.
5. Should be learning Mandarin etc  in school instead of Irish

Herdspeak.

Pornification in the form of disrespectful clothes for young  girls and no body hair for older women

Ah ffs wise up. I remember the bad old days when Irish women didn't invest in grooming, that not a place I think society needs to revisit

I think it's sick, making grown women look like babies, all because of video culture

Did they have video in Egyptian times? Plenty of cultures practiced the removal of body hair.

Fashion trends come and go; maybe the 70's porn look will come back but it's nothing to do with making women look like babies. If you think it's sick because you associate it will babies, then it say's a lot more about yourself and insecurities.

People who are anti-cultchie
People not knowing the 32counties eg thinking Belfast/Killarney are counties (imo this is mainly southerners
Some posters posts..
Tv soaps
Women's tennis
The kardashians
Social experiments ' to prove a point' when actually they are damaging to society...

wtf? What southerner thinks Killarney is a county?

Please note my no 3

I wouldn't have written it, if it had not been something I was well aware of.
When studying at a southern university we carried out a very simple test that was regarding memory and speed, one part was naming the 32 counties, through this I became aware of the number of people who did not know their counties and did indeed answer Killarney and Belfast ...

[AZOffaly]

Naming random stuff in a speed test trying to beat a time under pressure is not the same thing. Witness people who say stupid stuff on radio quizes etc. The Capital of France is not 'F', for instance

I'm sure if you asked 100 people if Killarney was a county, you'd get at least 99% saying no.

And apologies if you think my posts are shite. I guess that's just hard shite for you

[leenie]

But they would think Belfast was ?

[AZOffaly]

But they would think Belfast was ?

I wouldn't think so, although the administrative Belfast/Antrim thing is a bit more confusing for some 'Southerners'.  I'd say you'd still be well into the 90's that would say no though.

[leenie]

Well I am aware of 'southerners' who do..

[laoislad]

I got asked once by a woman from Dublin if Laois was near Portlaoise.
I do think though there are many Dublin people who haven't  a clue where anywhere is outside of Dublin.
A teacher friend of ours from Dublin asked me if Clonmel was anywhere near Naas when I had been telling her I had to drive down to Clonmel to do some work.

Surely it says more about female insecurity

Dubs on the train to Galway who say Claralara en masse when the train stops at Clara

Southerners who think NI is a different country

[AZOffaly]

Well I am aware of 'southerners' who do..

I'm willing to bet there are more people in the 6 counties who don't know their counties than in the 26. Sure half the population up there couldn't give a f*ck if Killarney is a county or not

As regards southerners, I'm sure there are some, but the way you wrote it, I inferred it was a relatively common thing.
