Well I am well aware that Ireland's economy was once the envy of Europe and I am also aware of it's very generous welfare payments.

The dole being 205 euros a week to sit doing nothing.

However this (now famous) youtube video is actually quite scary.

Granted most of them in the line for these crap, crap jobs are Pakistanis, Chinese and other immigrants, it still makes me shudder!!!

I do understand that most Irish wouldn't take these jobs but let's face it, why would they want to even apply with such competition.

Gerald Celente's videos are looking less like an extremist view. He must be wrong. Well I hope he is.

And this has what to do with teaching English in Korea? An influx of paddies, perhaps?

Well it doesn't have much to do with teaching English in Korea except we still like to know what is happening in the countries that we call home.

Besides this recession is global.

THE POINT IS we have an off-topic forum for your kind of propaganda.

Yes, More rice paddies. I eat white sticky rice every f****ing day. No more please!!

On an other note. I got hammered last..... a few hours ago. I am pretty sure I was slapping my female co-workers in the ass with a tamberine at a norebang. Since this thread will probably attract a lot of seasoned drinkers, Is a deportation in the near future for me!!

Working in retail in Ireland at the moment.....its SO SO depresing. I'm sitting on a good job, Assistant Manager of 1 of Irelands largest Electrical stores..., but i can't stand the lack of spending and lack of funds in the country! Hence why i'm gonna put my degree to use and give Korea a crack! Depressing recession!

Nah. Just confirming your status as a "Strong Drinker" who couldn't be bothered to wait for the paid hostesses.

Thanks for the vote of incompetance! I am a infant when it comes to consuming ethanol. Started drinking soju about 3 PM. I thought I was doing pretty well until I realized I wasn't doing very well. It sort of sneaks up on you! Too late at that point! My major concern was facing my co-workers after I slapped all their asses in a drunken stuper. I may have lost some serious face here!
