    Let's be realistic here.

    Polish people (and many eastern europeans) are stupid and can only make a living being pig-farmers or builders. Now I'm not saying they deserve a bad life because of that... but.... in the world economy (which is pushed by America and others, Ireland has little influence)... it's not the farmers and builders that get much money. It's usually only the people with either actual or made-up intelligence that gets the money.

    We were making the money and we took Polish people and other europeans in. We gave them jobs. We allowed them to set up houses and families here and wipe out over 1/8 of the potential Irish race. If people grumbled about it they said we were being fucking racist. The Irish government of course only did it for the money. It was on the back of the Irish producer and innovator that had built up this country for years that we gave them this money.... through our grandfathers and great grandfathers and great great grandfathers all the way back who were either at professional work or actual smart farming.

    Now the Poles are saying we were bad to them???



    Are these people funny in the fucken head?

    Okay I know Poles are a nice people, but why don't they say "NO BULGARIAN DIPSHITS" or "NO UKRANIANS"....?????

    When's the last time you saw an ATM machine bugged by an Irish person?! When did Irish people carry out such acts as the Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs????

    Some of these people would buy and sell you soon as look at you. If you go to Romania, people will sell you their children! There are children locked up in places that wouldn't be fit for chickens to stay in!!!! (I know there are some awesome Romanian people and escorts out there ).

    I don't have anything against these nationalities, I just think it's retarded that's all. Granted it wasn't the Poles calling us racist it was our own fucken government and Sky News (and most people believed it the fools) for their own benefit.
    What doesnt make sense to me is why did the government let thousands of Polish and Chinese in to take all those jobs and all that money to only bring back to their own country, no wonder we're broke, If the jobs and wages were kept to Irish it would stay in Ireland.
    I hear they are back to their own country building houses and starting businesses.

Not specifically targeting the Irish but very poor act none the less..
    will you ppl please get one thing into your fuckin heads.These ppl are commuinists and were reared through commuinism.We are the opposite.We and them are on the opposite ends of the political divide and we are suppose to co exist?It would be like going to Africa and expecting a nice warm welcome from a tribal village.Same thing.

    You see it has fuck all to do with whether they are nice or not.They could be nice,some are ,some arent,i dont know and i dont care either.What this all boils down to is our economy is going down faster than Experienced Punters drawers at the sight of a profile.We simply have to start goping back to the basics and look after our own.Sorry it sounds harsh and it is harsh and alot of the times the truth is indeed harsh but we cannot coexist and live in harmony when our own are be given less and less just so the poles or whoever else can live here.In any event it only breeds racism.

    Take for example a guy with a wife and child recently unemployed.He has all the financial worries and has no idea what to do as jobs are scarce so he has to start the cutting back bits which may end in teh car going or similar or even losing his home.Contrast this to a pole who is on the dole but stays here because he still is better off on the dole here than WORKING in his own country.Not only that but the pole is probably subletting accomodation also and more than likely has all his EU goodies and of course a medical card (fuck the fact that the shite was frightened out of our elderly last year as long as he has his medical card).Along comes the next budget and social welfare is cut more (which will happen) and the Irish guy is still worse off while our polish friend is still staying here because he is still better off.I dont know about you but i would likely attack a pole under those circumstances.

    FFS Look at the attitudes of our gov.They go and bring out a blashemy law,a fuckin blashempy law is just as important as replacing all those lost jobs.What about those priests who screwed chidren and are walking around with their suspended sentences?what about those cunts?Is that blashemy enough?The IRA and Loyalists were criminalised and imprisioned for a lot less in most cases and at least they were fighting over something ,not goign around screwing innocent children and abusing their positions but nope we must have a baslhemy law..The law ,which is aload of bolloxs and a joke goes on about drug dealing while our banks legally,legally rob ppl and continue to do so.

    This place is a fuckin joke and the reason being is the ppl put up with it.


    God my fuckin heart,

    Default where to start?

    I'm fucked up of people being too politically correct!

    The fact of the matter is, the majority of foreign workers who came here at the start of the boom were genuine and hard working people who ended up in Ireland through random circumstances, worked hard and in general were well paid when things took off.

    The fuckers who followed came on the gravy train having heard of the fortunes to be gleaned from the Irish through good wages, relatively relaxed productivity expectations and, let's face it, our naivety.

    I've had this conversation with numerous people - both foreign and Irish - and they pretty much all know of foreign workers who came in on that second, third and fourth wave of migrants and their intention from day one was to screw us over.

    The only argument ever thrown back at me is the fact that we as a nation relied upon emigrating to USA, UK and Australia in the past and this was our turn to be providers.
    Bullshit.

    We are not and never will be a financial force in terms of the World Markets, and therefore we were being overstretched with the amount of people flooding in.

    Not to mention that I remember the 80's well.
    I had family who moved to England.
    But when they came back after numerous years, they didn't return with fortunes amassed.
    They didn't come home to businesses and hotels and property which they had purchased with their savings!
    In fact, they came home to be home - in alot of cases they returned because there was work available, even though the jobs they were taking up at home paid alot less than the jobs they were leaving!

    They also didn't flee back to Ireland with months of car loans, rent and utility bills owing!

    Yes, some of the Irish did try to rip off the people and countries they moved to, but they were the minority. In general, we worked hard and we set up lives for our families in our new adopted homes. And we spent what we earned. Admittedly too much of it was spent in the pubs there but at least we contributed to the economy of the country's we were in.

    The government needs to adopt a policy of protecting it's own.

    America has done it and it will hit us hard.
    Australia have always done it.
    And the UK have learned their lesson from being too open.

    Right now, Cowen should be offering every foreign national, even those that are still employed, a package of say a week's dole payment for every month worked and pay off the foreign workers and dole-getters with a stipulation that they don't regain employment nor are they entitled to any welfare payments for 10 years.
    This will stop our Social Welfare being bled dry, protect the Irish who are unemployed or about to be and also create jobs as I'm sure alot of them would take that deal now if it had a 3-month deadline considering they don't know if they'll have a job in 4 months time.

    Running the country is easy once you've half a brain!

    EXACTlY!
    I have some foreign friends, Polish and Chinese, they are great people, they all tell me they make a wage here and 80% of it is sent back to their own counrty, they are not to blame, they are only doing an honest days work to build a future for their families, but on our countries expense and the person who opened the flood gates is to blame.

    Politician are well over paid! we middle class work more harder than them.
    I was furious to hear on Newstalk some politician said it was necessary to travel government jet for convenience to avoid, ques, waiting terminals, overnights in hotels.
    €8000 AN HOUR FOR A FLIGHT TO LONDON, FUCKING NOBS!!!
    Another one traveled to USA return trip that cost €100,000!!! seriously $100k for one trip!!

    I don't ask that we all be uber politically correct, but when I hear someone saying that most polish or eastern european people are stupid, it certainly sounds like racism to me. You want a fair debate, debate away, but when people say stupid racist things it doesn't help anyone, in fact rational people stop listening to everything you have to say.

    Default furthermore-

    I cannot believe that Cowen and his brainless buddy Lenihan appear to have no idea how to stop people going to the North for shopping.
    Not to mention the ridiculous laws governing tax exiles.

    Europe served us well when we needed the funding to develop ourselves and position this country as an attractive option for foreign investors and industry, but this recession is a world-wide problem.
    and it is unprecedented.

    people have never been in such debt.
    countries have never been so dependent on each other.

    And the EU has neither a magic wand nor a solution which is particularly viable for Ireland.
    Because we are not on the mainland, every idea they come up with has an added cost for us.

    What the government should be doing right now is 3 things (4 if you count my previous post about paying off the foreign nationals):

    1 - every single penny that leaves the country should be taxed at 10%
    That means checkpoints on the border and a charge on every receipt total of 10% and confiscation of anything not on the receipt, if I decide to buy a cd online from the UK, the transaction should include an extra 10% tax, if the likes of our tax exile buddies transfer money to another account they are taxed, and equally important, if foreign nationals are working and sending every penny back to buy a B&B in Estonia or wherever, they are taxed 10%.

    2 - The government should get a pair of balls and ignore any protests or campaigns against it and develop the world's largest wind farm off the West Coast of Ireland and produce not only enough electricity to power this country - thus making our own electricity cheaper which would encourage industry to invest here again - but also to sell to the UK and mainland Europe. Not to mention the thousands - yes, THOUSANDS of jobs created in the development, construction and then ongoing running of them.

    3 - The government should go ahead asap and create an under-sea motorway to the UK which would bring us closer to Europe and also closer to our main export market, Britain.

    But I didn't say that!

    I am not racist, I am Irish and proud to be.

    I think you should check the start of this thread as it starts with a post about how we (the Irish) are now subject to racism when it comes to employment in Poland.

    I think I have made my points with out being racist but by highlighting my concerns for the plight of my beloved country and its people - including myself.

    But to be honest Pat, considering the report in the first thread, I think people are pretty much entitled to express themselves in whatever way they feel means they are being true to their beliefs.

    To clarify, my post was not directed at saying you personally are the one who said the Polish were stupid at the beginning of the thread. I know you weren't.

    I was replying to your politically correct bit, to say I think some people here are going beyond being not politically correct, i.e. they are being racist.

    Regards people being racist against the Irish, I don't condone that either of course.

    Two wrongs don't make a right.

    then racist or otherwise i will speak what i believe to be the truth.Thats just a roundabout way of saying keep your racist accusations to yourself.

    Alot of Irish are afraid to speak out for fear of being labelled racist.Im not one of them.

    By the way,calling me a racist for giving my opinion is like me calling you a pimp for running this site.Also i dont take moral lessions from ppl who are no more or less moral than myself.If your Polish staff dont like whats being said here then give them something else to do.

    By the way,if you were running your business here in Ireland instead of exporting it ,you would speak to a very different tune.Mark my word,its very easy for you to think its fine for these ppl to contributing to destroying the Irish Economy when you are making the kind of monthly income your making from this site.

    Careful climbing down off the stage love,
