Leaving home: young Irish find the grass is greener ...

Ireland has long had a history of emigration in times of hardship. But in recent years, that was reversed. As economic growth took off, many Irish emigrants and their descendants moved back to the Emerald Isle and the country witnessed a previously unimaginable wave of immigration. Now that's changing once again, with the global economic meltdown hitting Ireland hard. The Celtic Tiger is dead, forcing the Irish once again to turn to pastures new.

@brokendoberman

Hahaha Sounds to me like you've already had your skull cracked open boy.

Let me guess, you started mouthing off to some Irish lad one night after a few too many shandies, next thing you woke up on the side of the road with your brain leaking into the dirt. That's why you go around posting moronic comments in a LOUD voice.

Must be awful hating the Irish...nowhere to hide!

You're most likely a blow in yourself, Balkans? S.Africa? Uranus?

DEATH TO THE IRISH SCUM

@IslamsVisionofWorld they'd be treated the same way whites have historically treated blacks....although with more sympathy and kindness.

[Microglia1]

@IslamsVisionofWorld Yeah, it's hypocrisy but you do know that even in South Africa, we have many O'Briens and Kennedys. Just move on and accept it. Everyone around the world has accepted the Irish.

[Microglia1]

Exactly, people have to emigrate for much pressing reasons, how about war, starvation, and political persecution?The Irish need to talk to some holocaust victims.

@001Dixie When I'm replying to a friend, I'll use terms such as 'buddy' 'mate' 'friend'. With you, well you know what is with you, that's what you are to me.

I know, and trust me it's ok for someone to say this to you, I know you find it hard to speak to people face to face, you find it hard to form real relationships and this is why you put so much effort into what you believe to 'real conversations'. Try stop hating, it's bad for you.

End of conversation.

@001Dixie Gosh. I'm so impressed! Fuckwit uses a Latin to English translator and all of a sudden he's a university don! You're not a don boy, you're a fucking moron. Luckily for you you rarely leave the smelly pit that is your wank pit, sorry bedroom, so you're safe being a fuckwit on youtube.
