Deedee123x: 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....
You started all that and now you are calling yourselves my victims? Get real, love... What Snow thinks and what the stats say are two totaly different things. And by the way he started comparing, so take it or leave it. When you point at someone expect to be pointed back. Nothing more, nothing less. Kettle pot thing, you know.
Top 10 Countries with the Highest Rates of Alcohol Use Disorder/Alcoholism (both genders): Hungary - 21.2% Russia - 20.9% Belarus - 18.8% Latvia - 15.5% South Korea - 13.9% (tie) Slovenia - 13.9% (tie) United States - 13.9% (tie) Poland - 12.8% Estonia - 12.2% (tie)
And why are South Korea such heavy drinkers? A bit surprising numbers. That eastern europe drink is no surprice it's in the culture, always been. I must say I somehow doubt these numbers some, 20% alcoholics sounds much. At what age is that, 18 - 100 maybe. Scandinavians drink in the weekend. A looot too.

I didn't do the chart just posted it to allay more arguments. Seems I wasted my time.
I just figured out why the Swedish chicks drink so much- the depression after realizing the guys use more makeup than themselves as illustrated in this video.
This a good song thou, agree Tiger? Would you dance with me to this one, if asked you nicely?
MY official government is Ireland and the Irish government...not the UK...both separate countries...but I guess if basic geography is out of your grasp then really the conversation is void isn't it.
In fact I saw some other references that crime ,more specifically burgarly is rampant in your country....and goggle is as 'reliable' as Wikipedia which you have quoted...but who's nit picking
Your noted for your extreme views on here and rubbing everyone up the wrong way but I guess we should conduct our own survey on that one..
"Feel is Real" is one of the most toxic ideas ever. Everyone has feelings, and when they listen to them or treat them like dictators/gods, they will lead you to...well, HERE.
"Ultimately, it's not important what you said or did but how you made me feel." Self-destruction in words. A motto for narcissists and/or solipsists. Your feelings aren't sacred. You aren't the center of the universe. Your emotions are only as reliable as your character, intelligence, and honesty.

Dear Deirdre, The uk, gov site is reliable enough, well, geography is nothing to involve in here, you got the point I am sure. Plus most people don't make much deference when referring to you or UK . Whatever you may say, Bulgaria is a very, very safe country and guess what, nobody needs to place their keys in a fist as Wolverine... In fact never heard of that before. Yes, everywhere people are drinking, there's domestic violence all over the world. You mocked Russia, Snowflake followed even harsher denying their culture You see how it works, what goes around comes around. Whatever you put out it backfires at you. Simple moral...

Extreme views are near normal on here. This is the militant wing of divorced people over 40 who are single for good reason.

I didn't deny their culture I just pointed to the problems in it. A famous Russian writer once said 'Russians smile when they should be crying'.
And an international militant wing of divorced people over 40. The website in no small part exists to create visa marriages which is a more thorough going take on sleeping with the boss for money. The men go in search of women in poor conditions that won't put up too much of a fight, and the interest of these women is to emphasize how cheap and easy they are by comparison to western women.
We come here to find out why the west and everything it stands for is wrong from the perspective of the hard right. And we go to a liberal arts college to find out why the west and everything it stands for is wrong from the perspective of the hard left.
And by we I mean a hypothetical we. In the modern world who actually does spend one day with the art students and the next day wondering around Poundland?

To know a Russian or Eastern European or anyone else different to you you need to become them. Snowy, you and the rest will never understand what it is like to be us. We might share the same continent but we are very different. Even those who want to become you will never like it. They will always find a way to show you that, as I believe many do. Tighter communities of the foreigners are an absolute prove they don't want to lose what they are and become you... I hope it is simple enough to understand it and I don't say it in a bad way.
