The Pity Stage

[samlad]

I mean can it not be a sub forum section? When you click on it you get a min version of the main board, but in Irish. I mean that is one way for the Irish escorts to let the boys know they are truly Irish. Some men do like their home grown variety. I mean we are in Ireland after all and it doesn't hurt to play to that; it does go a long way to fostering good will. I have heard a rumor that the 800 years of occupation is still a wee bit of a sore subject.

Indeed, but I tend to veer away from politics! My parents are from both parts of Ireland! ! Yes, it's something that will be discussed with the management and technical team, but please do realise the current necessity for the rule that is currently in place.

Look at it from the escorts' point of view. We have many foreign escorts that advertise on E-I and they wish to join the community and get involved with some of the discussion. If people only spoke in Irish and these escorts have already gone to a great deal of trouble to learn English to break the language barrier, I feel that this would isolate them from the community.

Please don't think this idea is being brushed under the carpet; I have since had some private messages with some constructive ideas and these will be discussed with higher mangement.

What are you on about Sam . I suggested an Irish section, as did others, not the whole bloody forum. Of course I don't want to isolate others, I'm all for total inclusion, in a non-judgmental, non argumentative forum. Jeez!!!

Okay fella, fair enough. This is something that will be discussed.

Thanks Sam. I have enough difficulty following some of the current threads in English, so I would be fuc*ed if they were interspersed with Irish - google translate would be overworked, but an Irish speaking section could be educational

I don't understand why there would need to be an Irish speaking section.
Except perhaps for people who speak Irish but don't speak English.
But, then, to be fair, you would have to provide a separate section for every language in the world.

This website is called Escort Ireland, specifically for escorts to advertise their services in Ireland, for people that live in Ireland.
At the moment, any language other than English is not allowed as a means to communicate.
The loss of the Irish language as our native tongue was as a result of some 'bullying' on the part of one of our neighbouring countries a while back, and no one likes bullying.
Ireland, Wales and Scotland all have a 'native' tongue that has gradually diminished. Consider an Irish section on E-I as a small gesture in helping to restore some of our heritage.

No necessarily. The forum is about Irish escorts, so having it in English, and Irish makes sense. In Belgium where Flemish, French, and German are spoken, the websites do represent those languages and English as well. Even in Spain, where Spanish, Catalan, and Castilian are spoken, not to mention a host of other languages.

Ah just give them a bloody sub forum please. You know how they Irish are if the get a cause

Oh god, there will have to be a march, a national day of mourning, not to mention a statute to commemorate the event, a bloody good piss up at the pub, and 50 years of moaning about the event. Lucy is right!

Hi Forrest
Every country should respect and be respected for it's own heritage and culture, of course. I am sure there are plenty of facilities in Ireland for people interested in keeping the Irish language alive..I am not sure E-I is the place for hertiage resoration.

Ireland is a multicultural society. My own feelings are that integration is better than isolation. Not all people who live in Ireland are Irish and not all inhabitants speak English.
If you are going to have an Irish section for Irish speakers, then it stands to reason that you should also have other language sections for speakers of other languages who would use the site.

English is the international language so it's reasonable that it is used here.
