No offence really intended.
This rant has been brought to you by some pressure spillover in my head. A bit random but I think I'm getting near some of the stuff that's been causing headaches recently.
Not trying to be racist here but really some people need to get a bit of a grip. Particularly some Islamic types and some East Europeans.
Look, you came here because you liked the idea of this country. Maybe it was the possibility of getting money, maybe because you heard we were laid back and easygoing. We have been working at the gender equality thing for a while now and although we're not quite there yet we're getting there.
If you think for one second that whats swinging between your legs means that I'm gonna bend over backwards to you and ignore the woman ahead of you in the queue you're in for a long, long wait. I may even strike up a conversation with her because I can see you fuming. Snapping your fingers ain't gonna improve my disposition to you either! And you know what it's not because of your race or gender, it's your blood fucking attitude.
If you want a country where women are lesser start looking elsewhere. My rights aren't going away as long as I have breath in my body and no amount of tutting is gonna make them disappear.
As an addendum. Oi, tourists. Quit squeeing about how laid back the Irish are and then complaining about how the busses are a minute late. One or the other. We're not another country, things don't run like they do elsewhere (we are working on it but it's probably going to take time!) and if we did do things like whatever country you're holding up as an example then we really would have acceded to the union and become the latest protectorate of the US instead of just having a Taoiseach as Bush's Butt Monkey. Some of us actually disagree with all this and think that we should remain Irish rather than trying to be other.
The complaints about how we're loosing our Irishness will also earn you a bollicking. You keep pressuring us to be more like A N Other country and that's what you'll get. I do barefoot occasionally but that's personal choice and you should see the canary my mother has because that's a reflection of poverty. The 50's of Hollywood Oirishness was a dreadful time and no-one in their right mind wants back to there.
Please note also that the Irish nod and smile a lot.
Behind your back we're wondering where the dagger will go, between which rib would be the most effective. Or how long we could last ignoring you before you'd go away of your own accord. We are really quite patient/lazy. This is why guerrilla fighting was pretty much invented here!
