What do I mean by changing the mentality. Well one of the first thing you need to know about the Irish mentality is that they will be nice to you if they get something in return. Note that I talk for a majority of the population but the whole population. There is of course exceptions. Irish people, because of the past twenty years have become waiting people. For the past twenty years they received money from various sources like the EU parliament, grants from various countries like the States. Life was easy, there was work. Now all that have ended. People here are blaming the government. No pints in doing that. The government was surely guilty of greed but so is the people of Ireland. Here are a few examples of the greed that led to the bad situation:
- Build cheap houses that were sold at very expensive rates. It didn't really matter as the money was there. Now people need money and want to sell these houses but can't. Why because the price they are asking is way to high compared to the quality in offer and even if the quality was there no one would have to money to buy.
- Prices in shops. They went up like flares during these twenty years, since the money was there it was fine. Now, people are now looking around and start asking questions. Like why would cigarettes cost €5.20 including taxes in most countries in the EU and €8.45 including taxes in Ireland.
- The taxes. Where did the money go? Road works? No. New roads? No. New jobs? No. Quality health care? No. Where?
The Irish population have been mislead into believing that there country was essential to the European economy as well as the North American companies developments in Europe. Well, they are not. They are just a money hole. It has been proved lately that even the degrees given at university or exams in colleges were actually not that challenging and that the quality of the workforce coming out of these institutions was pretty poor. This was a shock to the system. Now, they are left with a lot of unemployed with no experiences and no brains.
The Irish need now to think for themselves by themselves. There is a lot of houses, cut your coasts, rent them cheap. Sure isn't very good but it will do for a start. The Irish people needs to ask questions. The Irish people needs to do what any other countries have done. Raise up and tell the government what you want. What needs to be done. Needs to do their jobs as the Irish people representative.
There is too many people working for the government. Well paid and fed and most of all protected if they screw up. In the private sector, you fuck up, you pay. You are fired. These guys, they screw up and they have a new job, office, house. Stop this non sense, reduce their numbers.
Unemployment. Shit happen. Sadly enough the government of this country was and still is unable to protect jobs. It is now clear that the current government cannot do anything about the actual situation simply because they are too used to the situation that was 5 or 6 years ago. This government isn't energetic. This government is slow. So many ministers have made mistakes, mistakes that were visible to all and mistakes that hurt the people directly. Still this government is in place. They have to go. The prime minister of this country is so fucking stupid that they don't put him on the official picture that is taken during EU meetings.
Last winter when the water crisis occurred it appeared that well all the pipe networks were fucked up. So some genius was ordered by the government to do a quote on the price to fix the system. The guy came up A WEEK LATER with the figure of 300 millions!! You can ask anyone that works in the sales business, there is no way you can make a quote for 300 millions in a week. That is not possible. But the government took it on. You know why? Because they bloody well know that by the time the work should be finished (but won't be) they will be long gone, well hopefully.
So the answer to the question in the title is YES IRELAND IS RETARDED due to its actual government. They fucked up the people of Ireland. It is time now that the people should get back what is theirs. Raise up to the woman that make you wait in a queue at the dole office because she isn't doing a job properly. Raise up to the politician who's telling you that your child allowance, dole, pension needs to be lowered because the banks and politicians fucked up.
You want Ireland up to scratch? Only the people can make it, not some moronic minister who doesn't have a clue what is going on in Ireland because they are spending the people's money in futile congresses, meetings, etc...
