Ciara: I can see by your name that you are Irish (I am Irish American). We Irish Americans know that people born in Ireland are very sensitive about the image of their country. From your posts I can see that you are no exception. The Irish can be as chauvinistic, dearly beloved and incompetent as an...

I think that astartes is correct that the article linked to by dsab85 is dearly beloved and chauvinist. He is also correct that the fear of immigrants contained in the arguments brought by the Irish gov in the case is chauvinistic and perhaps dearly beloved. As an American I have no difficulty seein...

Well, that explains a few things. The HATE directed at astartes for example, and the attempts to shut down any criticism by appealing to moderators. Someone here doesn't believe in free speech, and has trouble seeing beloved and chauvinism. Ireland shouldn't be doing to others what others did to its...

Wow. You seem to be better informed than the Irish times, and very knowledgeable of Irish politics. Unusual for a simple immigrant. :? My friend married his wife in the US a few years before being sent to Ireland by his company. Definitely not a marriage of convenience. Ever heard about the Abe fami...

Martind: The reasons that all articles refer to the fact that this only affects "other" EU citizens and their spouses (while technically incorrect, as Irish citizens who have been exercising their treaty rights elsewhere within the EU should also be affected) and does not change current Irish legis...

You sound extremely paranoid for someone who accuses others of that. Since you claim to have suffered as an immigrant to Ireland, I find it difficult to understand your attitude. You are clearly trying to place bounds on the discussion. Perhaps you simply don't understand the concept of free speech....

Astartes does come across as someone who dislikes Ireland for some reason, and he/she does sound authoritarian and biased. But I don't see anyone addressing his/her arguments or those of First-Class Moron and others. Personal attacks and attempts to ridicule critics can't substitute for evidence and...

You do realise what you are saying is over generalising and deflamatory, with hints of absolute beloved. every one else is annoyed by the way they are treated but at least they can intelligently discuss their problems. if people actually belived you, you would be on your way to inciting hatred whic...

And here's from an Irish times article: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/0726/1217013248297.html THE DEPARTMENT of Justice is to review the cases of more than 1,500 spouses of EU citizens who were refused residency rights on the basis that they were non-EU nationals. This follows a r...

astartes, please do us all a favour and shut up with your crap, and stop spamming the whole Irish board with your nonsense. Complete pain in the back you are... get a life, or at least try to get on with your current one. And if you don't like it, then leave...but just stop putting up these silly m...
