Well I'm glad that you admitted it
Admitted what, Jimmy?
Your idea of nationalism is probably something along the lines of having a "happy country" - without any consideration for why
The why and how is apparent, or are you thick as well as obnoxious?
We're a happy country because we're a '
serious' country who take our current and future quality of life quite seriously.
You, on the other hand - live In Ireland, not only a '
not serious' or '
you can't be serious' country - but rather a basket case of no compare.
And there is no other comparison for Ireland, she operates on the lowest possible denominator.
You simply cannot compare Ireland's current state to the Finnish model: we're leagues ahead of you.
The only reason it bothers you is because you hate the fact that I'm enjoying life while you're fretting yours away. Counting the passing days and seeing your life options reduce at a rate not seen since jaze knows when. We're especially happy at the moment because winter just ended. The sun hasn't stopped shining and the Northern Lights have been putting on a show for us. We're facing into six to seven months of hot sun and fresh clear cold waters on the lakes. Everything is exactly where it needs to be and we're cashing in now on our taxes to enjoy the fruits of winter's labour.
Ireland doesn't even have seasons - it's just grim and grey all the time.
Ours are entirely distinct: winter ended with a massive storm only two weeks ago. Today we're all wearing t-shirts. The trees are beginning to bud and the spring flowers are blooming. It's so beautiful. And we'll continue to enjoy ourselves until mid September. Then we'll prepare for another epic winter.
You?
You have nothing but rain, tents, bums, filth, grime, high taxes and even higher prices, homeless people, hungry kids, long term dolers, a three-tier society, old people on trollies, dead people all over your shitty 'motorways' you paid top dollar to build and today you pay cash dollar to use, Val Martin as a sage and wise man (think about that) and Feeney and Kelly still trying to goad you into acting on your threats against the n*ggers and w*gs. The slopes, the poles, half of central Africa, most of the middle and far east. Brazil, Argentina, you fucking name it.
They know you're a push-over - why else would they shack up in Ireland?
Do they look at Finland the same way?
Probably yes, but not really: the winter terrifies them. The language even more so. The culture, the way of life. The curiosity they have as to why we're so happy and how our country actually operates to serve the people, not the other way around. We know that only the bravest and fiercest will even consider coming up here after reading about us on Wikipedia. The first thing they see when they arrive is either the black and cold of winter or else the shorter span of summer and midnight sun. Then the grim faces of the immigration officers who check everything down to the DNA before letting them out of the airport and into our society.
You lot?
Please.. . ..just stop already.
