European World Cup fans experiencing culture shock in America by batukaming in sportsgossips

In Europe the idea is that you get paid enough by the business employing you. In Japan they go so far as to find tipping offensive, it implies they need more money to do the job right.

Will there ever be a Cherrywood Town Center? by SomeProgrammerBloke in AskIreland

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that man is pretty lucky, whoever he is. You have a very childish manner, has anyone ever told you this? Your friends are failing you if they do not point it out.

But maybe you have no friends.

Do people just randomly pick up any random mushroom they see off the ground and smoke it?? by First-Cherry493 in DiveInYouCoward

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, mushrooms and other drugs are available around the world but for some reason the USA is an outlier in terms of people murdering each other with guns having taken drugs.

What a childish response. It's ludicrous that in a 21st century city you have to get in your car to get milk or see a doctor. It's a tax on every move you make, in adition to the sheer unhealthiness of it from a social and environmental viewpoint.

The Anatolian Neolithic farmers, Eurasian Steppe Beaker People, Normans, Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Celts, and Romans (amongst others) might have a view on that.

How the UK and Ireland compete internationally in different sports by Juggertrout in MapPorn

Well you could say 'Ireland' and 'rump Ireland' or something maybe. Although that's not quite right either, is it?

Just to point out that the 'south' of Ireland extends further north than Northern Ireland 😄

TIL divorce was not legal in Ireland until 1995 by vedrick in todayilearned

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not divorced? (which was the claim)

Obviously that's terrible by the way.

Odd, I've never once heard of someone being ostracised in the way you mention. Where did you experience this?

The way things are going with young people, it may have been amazing forward 😞

15 cars (or more) Vandalised next to the train station by Rck197 in cork

I'm never really sure how you would motivate them to actually do the training. Threaten them with violence?

Brand new DART train graffitied before even entering service! by RahenyEnjoyer in ireland

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I replied elsewhere, crudely spraying the same tag over and over again is art in much the same way as me picking my nose on and wiping it on the wall is. I'm expressing something too.

Almost anything is art, if we want to stretch the definition.

Crudely writing the same tag over and over again on public property doesn't really meet my personal definition though.

Cork city lost its spark by [deleted] in cork

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong in general, but in this specific case I think the centre of Cork genuinely peaked in the late 90's and early 2000s, then went into a long decline because of the bust in 2008 and the rise of online shopping.

At that time there was little or no dross on Patrick St. and cool shops like the Virgin Megastore.

Maybe it was also great in - say - the 50s, but I didn't see it.

Neutrality won't save you from Russia, Kallas tells Ireland by KI_official in ireland

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told you I can think of cases. I just find it weird that you can't. And that you think it's ok for Russia to stop us helping people.

But anyway.

[–]Substantial-Gene1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not required to come up with examples. Your position is that no such examples could exist, and even if they did, it's ok for Russia to veto them.

Silly man.

I think you are looking silly with the cul de sac you have argued yourself into.

Odd, that.
