    Sorry, I'll try to stick with the same level of respect as the original poster:

    Scottish...Irish...what's the difference?

    thing is, we arent doing that bad yet, so voters arent really motivated. maybe in four years, but we arent seeing any real consequences to poor decision making yet.

    oh and the US isnt unique in this way.

    So no one ever taught you "An eye for an eye leaves us all blind"??? By responding in such a manner you are no better. In fact, you seem to be proving his/her point. There is a way to respond without stooping to Moonpig's level while still making your point and maybe shifting his/her perspective.

    Yea, got it. It's just not as effective as you believe it to be, at least on the computer. There is no need for name calling. We are not five years old on the play ground.

    You were quick to jump on people who disagreed with the OP, but I notice you took no issue with the OP's name calling. Why is that?

    Like I stated earlier, I don't think it's right to stoop to someone's level just because you disagree with them. It just creates static. Itstead of fighting back with name calling and anger..someone could simply discard it, not giving it the time of day..or they could respond respectfully perhaps making that person recognize the foolishness in their post. In both cases, the static is gone.

    That is what satire is. It is humor intended to make someone think. In this case, to make the original poster think about how foolish his post was. He was an ass about his generalizations, so he did not deserve much.

    Okay, I'll throw you a bone here and try to answer thoughtfully to the OP.

    With the issue of the economy, you think the "Savages who don't know their asses from their elbows" are idiots for not voting Democrat. Well, instead of namecalling and assumptions that any change is good change, you should think about the issue. In the history of the world, we have seen how socialism has ruined economies. We have also seen how tax cuts have spurred on economic growth (1980's and post 2002 - 2005). So, I guess we are savages to think that maybe the current plan is not working well and could use some change (but we still grew 3% last quarter), but don't want to vote for the change the Democrats are proposing because we don't believe that will work either and make things worse than they are now.

    A chara but the Irish have gotten rich off this abusive capitalist system, bringing in cheap foreign immigrants and giving them low wages!!! lollers

    The poor working class must fend for themselves while the capitalist abuses them :(:(:(

    As for the Irish getting drunk all the time, that is certainly no longer the case. They have cracked down big time on public drunkenness and drunk driving. My friend visited Ireland for a semester and said they even have BAC checkpoints Sunday morning to make sure people aren't driving drunk after a night of drinking.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Not really sure what you mean there, why don't I get on what?? Allowing more Nigerians into the country? Although I do work, it is not in immigration so I can't impact this one way or the other.

    Just make sure you vote for the numbnuts that want more Nigerians in Ireland heh. Your country is not enough of a rainbow nation - too many white people.

    You don't need to work in immigration, just make sure you're letting Africans live in your home. You pointed out how terribly America treats its African-American population - great! Hows about Ireland starts inviting some of some over to your little island.

    A chara I know you don't represent all de Irish so I won't make any generalizayyyzations about ye.

    Dear God, this thread is hostile. Can we please get past the racist stereotypes and smug sarcasm and just talk to each other like human beings?
    Not all Irish people are drunkards. That's a stereotype, just like that all Americans are dumb and racist. Yes, there are drunk people in Ireland and racist people in America, but we shouldn't paint everyone with the same brush.

    Beautiful. Right on the fucking money.
    It bothers me that some would consider your statement racist when its nothing of the sort. Its just the way it is.
