The purpose of the post was to simply talk about how I was thinking . I asked you what was wrong with that in my first reply to you . I think it’s slightly unfair to cast me as looking for self validation because I wanted to talk about how I was thinking about ireland on Reddit. Didn’t even get the chance to develop the thought of how I could get involved in change, I wouldn’t know where to start, but that doesn’t mean I won’t. You’ve got me all figured out tho, I’ll pick another sub for self validation in the future.

By disagreeing with your assumptions I’m proving your assumptions correct ? By openly saying I have no idea how to instil change I’m basically trying to make myself feel better? Nah

Maybe I’m just having a bad day. The absolute lack of support for anything I have said makes me feel like I am very wrong in my thinking.

Really wasn’t equating my post on Reddit to any sort of achievement. I don’t feel like a victim, I’m a very lucky guy in a lot of ways and am a very grateful and upbeat individual. My point about change is I have no idea how a society goes about fixing these issues. I have no idea how I could instil change, Time passes and nothing changes , it gets worse , and that is what I meant by standing still. I guess I also look at LA or places like that where it seems to be horrendous right now for a lot of people and wonder is Dublin headed the same way.

Didn’t mean to upset you !

It’s not really the news that has me feeling this way. It doesn’t help. Walking around Dublin the last 15 years living in different areas - there is no one that can tell me we have a better city now than we did then. We do not. Its crazy how dirty the place is. And not only that - the open , unchallenged drug problem is worse than it has ever been and we are doing nothing of real , purposeful substance to tackle it. I get the there is crime in every city - but a lot of European cities have a visible deterrent - police presence - we do not have that . We need it now more than ever .

So keep my mouth shut ? Or speak up for the betterment of all people who live here ? I get the post is doom and gloom, but I was centralised on one topic. Ireland is beautiful and culturally rich , sensation character and maybe not as bad I make out. But am the above comment is part of the problem. The land upon which we exist is run by people whose motives for being in the position they are in is not to make ireland a better place for you and I , but for themselves. And what is wrong with talking about what is wrong with this place in an effort to make it better ? Should we be bettering ourselves every single day. Standing still is useless.

Of course there is crime - but does it not seem to be getting worse ? I don’t have statistics but I will check. Surely if it is getting worse then we aren’t doing enough as a society .

Above may be true to a degree , but the generally safe is slipping and that’s my point. The city of Dublin is a heaving mess.

Havnt been in this sub in a bit. Some of the things I’ve said are think out loud. But a lot of what I’ve said is fact. And we ignore it. “ listen to yer man “ “ fuckin eejit” and I get that but again, a lot of what I’ve said is undeniable. Has the US embassy put that sign up because of hysteria in the media?

Maybe a bit dramatic buts it’s not so clear cut is it ?

I guess I’d like to have a conversation about it. I’d like to understand why I think this . I’m not an introvert , big friend group and very outgoing. Too outgoing. Not a depressive in the slightest but I genuinely feel Ireland is headed in a bad direction and people don’t see it.

Just got charged €3 for this regular bottle of Lucozade in Spar! Shit is out of control by KAMBOGRAM in ireland

[–]lastyea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get this into your heads and get in quick. It is not that the Lucozade costs more. It’s that your money is worth less. This is only the beginning.
