Ten_of_cupss: You bored me from the start. Your obsession with Putin is disturbing. Your denial of your own failures is disturbing. In the 80s, which isn't that far ago Ireland was referred as the Sick man of Europe. Guess why? Mentioning alcoholism is a big mistake. Irish people are quite famous for it. As a whole, I don't understand why you and your fellow citizen Dee started this nonsense and keep on dragging it through this thread?! Now let's put an end to it as grown up people...
You repulsed me from the start but I didn't let it bother me. We were the sick man of Europe but we've made huge progress since then, mostly because of the EU.
The Irish fame for drinking is mostly an urban myth. Our alcohol intake is a bit on the low side compared to the rest of western Europe. High alcoholism is a sign of a failing society, hence Russia's consistently high figures. Gorbachev came to power with one of his goals being to lower the rate.
Ten_of_cupss: Have you watched the video? I'll tell you what will happen to Sam in Ukraine...he will be vomiting as they beat him up to a pulp. If you don't know Ukraine is against LGBTQ-whatever next... I don't care what this people think of themselves, not my business, not my life, not my responsibility. I don't want it in my face. I still have and live in a country with traditions and family values. May be it is hard for those who don't know what they are to grasp it.
Unfortunately Ukraine has the same sort of homophobia common in eastern Europe. The whole region is tarnished with it, including Bulgaria.

You see, everyone goes from high to low and the opposite. You are too eager to point a finger at anyone else but forget that the rest of the fingers point at you. Your alcoholism isn't a myth... It is in your blood. What Russian are and how they live isn't any of your business, right?! Making someone else look bad doesn't make you look any better.
"Alcoholism in Ireland is a significant public health problem. In Ireland, 70.0% of Irish men and 34.1% of Irish women aged 15+ are considered to be hazardous drinkers. In the same age group, there are over one hundred and fifty thousand Irish people who are classified as 'dependent drinkers'."
teenameena: Always follow your “gut’s” signals! It’s telling you something is not right or going to happen!
your gut instinct can be wrong. what if it's related to something or a situation you just don't like?
more than few times in my life, my "gut instincts" have felt something but things turned out just fine. my apprehension stayed higher than it needed to be.
although it's something that shouldn't be ignored, it still may not be 100% correct.

Yes it is largely a myth. Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it so. 'what Russians are and how they live.....I'm afraid it is, very much my business because Russia has become aggressive again and a danger to its neighbours..

I haven't seen anything that could be called 'hateful' on this thread. Robust criticism of places and cultures yes but that isn't hate, not by most people's standards.

Since Ireland is getting a bashing from the Bulgarian barbie let's see some 'facts' of Bulgaria...seems not a very nice place to be by all accounts.
And I agree with Snowy this alcoholism idea is indeed a myth. The Irish are no more that fond of the drink than any other nation...what is heavily attributed to just love of alcohol is our much higher love of 'the craic' and no not the stuff you sniff up your nose.
I may have started a discussion but you my dear girl started the fight....
