Balloon lips, sharpie marker eyebrows and being dipped in Ronseal does not make you attractive.
I would rather watch wwe than gaa
Most downvotes wins.
Gambling should have maximum limit of €10 and require PPS and photo ID
Joanne McNally is not that funny. Fair play to her for the success she’s got, she’s worked hard for it. But it’s not for me

Many years ago when first on the UFC scene (before his true nature was more obvious to the people wearing the rose tinted glasses) I used get this reaction when I said I hated McGregor.
Complaining about money issues while also drinking/smoking is annoying.
In my experience “a medical rather than criminal approach to most drugs would work better and should be implemented”
With my irl friends it goes like this:
Me “so you agree the current drug regulation system doesn’t work and does a lot more harm than good?”
Them “yes”
Me “so we should implement a medical approach to drugs akin to Portugal”
Them “haha, you just want to legalise crack/ that wouldn’t work”
I show them increasing amounts of evidence but they always fall back to hard drugs bad therefore we cannot “legalise it” in their words through this medical approach.
Also they do support the légalisation of weed bcuz obviously but nothing else.
Football/soccer gets way too much coverage and is held up with too much importance. It’s a game, a hobby, relax.
If your hobbies and interests all revolve around consuming some sort of media or drugs you’re a boring loser and your opinions objectively mean less
I hate when Irish people gatekeep the Irish identity. I hate the term plastic paddy it is so cringe.
I am not an American by the way I am from Wexford, this shouldn’t matter but it does.
We spend way too much on weddings. The event, the attendance and the gift.
People that spend money on a wedding before they have a long term living plan are mad. Doesn’t have to be gaff. Can be enough money set aside for very long term rental.
People that don’t get married even though they want to, have kids together etc but can’t afford the party bit are mad. Also if you’re not both high earners there’s often a tax advantage to just getting the piece of paper.
Other than a few quotable lines, I don’t find Father Ted that funny
Taxis aren’t public transport so shouldn’t be allowed in bus lanes
It really isn’t the be all and end all to get your own house.
It’s not up to the public to subsidise local/Irish business if they can’t compete on price or quality.
A lot of people who shout about the Brits not knowing about their past don’t have a clue about Irish history and especially the troubles, and they are as bad as the ignorant Brits.
That we oppress our own people far better than our neighbours ever did.
People on social welfare genuinely need help.
Chicken filet rolls are neither special nor appealing to taste.
I fucking despise the people who can only talk about GAA.
I worked in a shop and there is a lot of people out there that can only talk about GAA and I am not exaggerating it is all they can talk about.
When I told them I have not interest in GAA their social skills ceased to function, it was like a robot having a major malfunction.
It’s not that cold, the irish just don’t know how to dress
Prawn Cocktail is nicer than Cheese and Onion.
The Guinness “double pour” isn’t necessary and is more of a visual thing than anything to do with taste and texture.
Basically any opinion that contradicts mainstream RTE narrative will get you like this. The tele is always right you nutjobs
Ireland is one of the greatest countries in the world to be born in/live.
People need to prove they are capable of being responsible dog owners before being allowed to own a dog . Getting a dog ( in fact any animal ) on a whim because its cute ,cool ,a status symbol or fashionable is bad for animals and the rest of society .
Do this via training courses run by qualified behaviourists payed for by the prospective owners either via increasing license fee or just charging direct for the course.
Also a moritorium on the sale of ” dangerous” dogs by the general public and limit ownership to breeders willing to commit to breeding programs designed to weed out aggressive animals until natural breed aggression is curtailed .
Add to that a complete moritorium on the sale of shortfaced dogs etc like pugs ,frenchies ,british bulldogs and other breeds in which fashion has overridden function to the detriment of animal health and limit ownership to breeders willing to commit to breeding programs designed to correct the disasters caused by Kennel club breed standards .
In fact outlaw the Kennel club entirely until their breed standards are about dog health not ever increasing extremes of form rather than function .
Things are pretty good in Ireland
Dermot Kennedys music is utter shite and his voice is fucking grating. That forced hoarseness is just awful.
There should not be a sports section on the news
People shouldn’t drink like they do in Ireland. Not at all would be best, but just easing back on the volume would make a big difference. Ireland for some reason prides itself as a nation of big men who can handle their drink, but our reputation is sadly one of drunken louts more than it is fun merry-makers.
Gaa is a cult, people stopped caring about covid when it wasn’t cool to care anymore. People who posted about BLM but are raging racists against travellers.
If you are having mental health problems, talk to a friend. Then if you actually try to talk to someone when you’re suffering “shur what have you got to be complaining about? don’t you have a great life?” Irish people can be very shallow on this one.
A few teenagers in tracksuits does not constitute an unsafe / dangerous city, Ireland is one of the safest, non-violent places on the planet.
Using the term “notions”.
Edit: I wasn’t being clear, I hate the term.
Alcohol is overrated and Ireland’s culture of (social) drinking and partying is completely sick and out of control.
Seriously, people look at me like I have two heads when I say I don’t drink and go out. Some asked me what do I mean by that, am I a recovering alcoholic? Because why else would a person completely kick alcohol out of their life… It’s unfathomable that if you truly want to have fun with your friends, you’ll have fun drinking a bloody cup of tea.
Daniel O Donnell isn’t a national treasure
People in other countries are just as much craic as Irish people. Ireland has lovely scenery but its no the most beautiful country in the world.
Kryptonite is made up. Superman sucks ducks.
Brandy > Whiskey
The greyhound racing industry is disgusting and everyone that goes to the dogs for a night out is perpetuating it.
They get reams of tax breaks and state funding and wouldn’t be a viable industry without it. A lot of breeders treat the animals like shit and even of they all treated the animals well, it still leads to huge amounts of dogs being killed every year.
A lot of the filthiness of our towns and cities is down to ourselves, not the council or government. We can quite disgusting and averse to personal responsibility or accountability.
Smoking weed isn’t cool
If people actually evaluated the decision to have children before doing it they’d see its a terrible idea 🙊🤷♀️
Fuck all opinions in threads like this are controversial.
Irish people aren’t actually social people. Most of the time we have good social skills in a fake/insincere way, or we’re drunk and are letting our guards down thanks to alcohol. But if we say, under the influence, that we should be friends or meet again in the future, don’t expect to receive any texts. Also, we’ll be hoping you don’t text us. We have our little social groups, and getting into them in almost impossible.
That’s not to say that aren’t friendly or nice – we are. But we’re not as extroverted and sociable as we crack ourselves up to be. Also, of course, this doesn’t apply to everyone.
