My point is that if nothing is done to your refugee policies and immigration policies/goals, you will have a large Muslim (and/or Hindu) population in just a few decades. Britain now has this problem and Ireland is traveling down the same road.
Your country has very few people, around 5 million. You take in roughly 100k per year. That’s 50 years until half the population is non-Irish, if you incorrectly assume similar birth rates. Currently 17% of your population is foreign-born with just half of those arriving in the past 5 years.
That’s just unsustainable. Ireland will not be Irish because no country can ever hope to assimilate that fast, even assuming that is a goal of the government and is something the immigrants themselves want.
Essentially, you don’t have to deal with the same problems many other European countries have. Not too late for you guys
And I apologize for snapping at you. Can’t have anyone talking shit about the USA ;)

Yes, we’re speaking English. What of it? We were ‘colonized’ until a few years after we decided we didn’t like that deal.
After 700 years, you accomplished what? Keep the British out, let everyone else in? Irish identity will soon be nothing other than militant Islam and curry.
Which is sad, honestly. Always had a fondness for the Éire. Now it’s an impending totalitarian multiculti hellhole. And meanwhile you applaud the government curbing any opposition to giving Ireland away. Some proud Irishman you are.
I feel your whining about our healthcare, gun rights, and speech rights is really just a cope. You don’t want to confront the mess forming in your home

I believe that America is a bitch nation. That's your model. Guns create too much distance between people, give rise to a certain artificiality in politics. Ireland's politics is made in close quarters.
A bitch nation would get conquered by the British for 700 years.
You’ll notice, we did not. Primarily because of our guns, might I add

Wow, I never knew Zimmerman was a BLM vigilante terrorizing people.
I like the Zimmerman parallel, honestly. Textbook justified self-defense
Zimmerman was having his head smashed into the concrete
This had a mob swarm a car including a guy with an AK-47 menacing him.

I remember when he pretend left before. I’m not sure if it was some stunt to get the DART award for X amount of likes on a post or if he decided against it after the fact.
But I remember the incredible outpouring of support he received from basically everyone active on the site.
Looking at these comments and the zero likes he got, it’s crazy to see just how a few years utterly ruined his goodwill with the DART community.

I don’t have an issue with tax dodgers having guns, but violent felons???
This is also a public safety issue- our recidivism rates are quite high.
When they inevitably reoffend, they ought to be slapped with another felony for unlawful possession of a firearm to make sure there is no third victim (or fourth or fifth, depending on the crime)
Let’s face it- some people are just incapable of impulse control and are prone to violence. Doing what one can to keep guns out of the hands of that crime-prone population is a moral imperative

If you’ll indulge me:
So your issue is you think the world has become too fast-paced and integrated? That you can’t just enjoy things, have a moment with your thoughts, enjoy the moment?
I can definitely see how seeing biased representations of others’ lives from hundreds or thousands of miles away could cause dissatisfaction with your own life, whereas your frame of reference was the few thousand people in your home town.
Does that capture it, or is there more? You must have been a kid right at the start of the dissolving of the British empire. Has the culture changed in any sort of way?

Well Coal, that’s the beauty of it! These people self-identify as transgender without any sort of diagnosis. Hardly any need for the government on that front at all. Just offer the option to switch their gender on a piece of paper and voilà: dangerous mentally ill person identified.
When you have a group of which nearly half attempt suicide for not being able to self-mutilate on the tax payer dime or use the bathroom of their choice, it is easy to see the public good of such a ban.
And I understand yet reject the lack of nuance in the libertarian position of not banning anyone. Seriously, by that logic, would you argue that we should allow felons to own guns? The government can create wacky laws that will strip them of their ‘rights’ whenever they want, after all

I assume you trust CNN. At the 2:00 mark they talk about how easy it is to 3D print and install a Glock switch. They show a now-deleted less than 3 minute video that discussed how to install them.

If low-IQ gang members in Chicago can do it, it must not be hard. They aren’t manufacturing them. There is very very little work for installing them

So do you want guns regulated at a national level or not?
Sure. Violent felons shouldn’t be able to own guns. That’s a national regulation.
Do I support arbitrary magazine size bans or arbitrary short barrel rifle bans? No.

You are the idiots that say laws don’t work because criminals won’t follow the law.
It worked on all people that wish to be law abiding citizens- the vast majority of gun owners.
We banned automatic weapons (ostensibly) and now we never see them used in crimes. We could do the exact same thing for semiautomatic weapons.
Have you not heard of Glock switches? A small piece of metal turns a Glock fully automatic. And guess what- only criminals have them

Gee, everything in this country is regulated except guns.
Wow, you’re so intelligent Mr. Roosevelt. I never knew we didn’t regulate guns.
There must be zero gun laws and there isn’t a bureaucratic law enforcement group called the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives!
I guess I’ll go buy a 6 trillion round clip and full auto short barreled rifle from the local gun vending machine

Transgenderism is a mental illness, and we should prevent them from owning firearms.
You take a group where close to half are suicidal and self-mutilating and democrats convince them they are the victims of “genocide”. Don’t know what they expected to happen

Why do libs conflate any position that isn’t billions of dollars to Ukraine with cucking for Putin?
Surely we can say that dumping all of that money into a war isn’t a good investment for us without being avid supporters of a foreign dictator
There is this seeming inability of liberals to view anything from an American perspective. If it is good for Putin or bad for Putin is the only frame of reference that you all are capable of using.

remember Romney saying that Russia was our biggest enemy when we were losing hundreds of troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria and Obama said the twentieth century called to say they want their foreign policy back.

I seem to recall your buddy Obama telling Romney that the Cold War had been over for 20 years during the presidential debates.
Soviet Union collapsed. Russia is still a regional superpower rather than a global superpower, and they will continue to act how all regional superpowers act: by exerting influence over their neighbors.
Seems a foolish investment dumping so many millions of dollars in one of the most corrupt countries in the world while they are facing a superior foe. Way overshadows the foolishness of giving an 18 year old liberal arts major $60k and expecting to get any return on investment

I definitely expected it from him. He is lauding his success with newer members rather than people with ‘old grudges’.

Yo RM, what I find hilarious about this is- you lost the vote among people who have been here longer and did better with people who haven’t.
You have a track record alright, a very bad one. This man has done everything you say he has, and all the voters knew it. Yet they still didn’t choose you. How bad does that make you?

There's definitely less racism than there used to be, the last KKK lynching was in 1981 compared to approximately 76 a year on average between 1865 and 1950 (6500 total in that time period), but that doesn't mean it's gone or not a problem
Around 1,000 white men were lynched. Was that because of their race?
