Ireland vs Great Britain

[mikhail]

Yeah, feel sorry for the rest of us Englishmen who are going to be the foremost victims of it in the decades to come.

Funny enough, I actually know an Englishman who moved to Bulgaria because "his neighborhood was too rough". And the English are the ones who are worried that Bulgarians will move to England, oh the irony

You are welcome to come stay here, friend. When the muslims finish killing each other in London, you can go back and rebuild.

Also, 2 pages in and no English Rose, very curious.

I think that England may be a good place once again but only if every corrupt institution an all forms of mercantocracy is erased beforehand. To some extent... London has to burn for anything good to ever happen.

Yes, people ought not to ever conflate London with England - they are VERY far from being the same thing.

You take it too personally (although it's understandable), i'd rather a Bulgarian than some other types. A friend of mine in school was Bulgarian, decent guy. To be honest most of us here want much less immigration overall, and for the ones able to be integrated well to integrate, and for our identity and other things to stop being denigrated by the establishment. I'm sure you'd want something similar if the tables were turned.

Irish actually historically have been perceived by English as some kind of savage barbarians that can't be civilized. Even in America Irish were discriminated due to their origins.

And? Impressions from Anglo-Americans aren't worth much.
Or do you care about what they think or do not think of Chechnya?

First I'm not from Chechnya
Second It's relevant because English are more superior culturally and intellectually.

Intellectually if you're referring to technical knowledge, yes, they are. Philosophical and moral intellect that's a whole new game and I actually think the Irish come out better.

Culturally, I could very well make the case that Britain is the worst country in the whole continent. After all, mercantocracy, speculation, consumerism and globalizing trends are their doing more than anyone else's. Specially when you factor in the notion that the US is their bastard child
