I wouldn't either, make that generalisation that is. Most of the people I know are really cool. But then again what do I know, I've lived a very sheltered and privileged life. I'm spoilt rotten and therefore my opinion shouldn't count. Shallow is practically my middle name. Monet St. f*cking Croix. ermm
indeed...

Not going to argue with that 'cause it's true. Meh if its not race issues it's class issues. In Ireland anyway I think its more classicism then racism/xenophobia. Heck you even get immigrants who have prejudices against other immigrants and then some Irish people to other Irish people.

Most definitely the fact that a sheltered, shallow 18 year old recognizes this makes you wonder huh? I mean people are quite aware of this and it still happens.
You voting on the 23rd? The elections are arranged so that it falls on a Thursday around exam times, which has pissed off a lot of the colleges since it seems like the government arranged it to deter students from voting. Lucky for me I have no exams that day.(Of cause I know absolutely f*ck all about the Irish government...apart from the scandals of course...will "try" and do research though.)

Shallow in a nice way. It's usually the first thing people point out along with a bunch of other synonyms. Well that's partially the reason, there's more but it's too long to list.
See I know about the money/Bertie thing(Still can't understand how he suddenly managed to get away with it.) But are the others any better? Will check out the gael. If worst comes to worst I vote green. 😖hifty:
Just realized what you said. Emma's quite deep...with Monet what you see is what you get.

I'd like to think of whatever arrogance I have as confidence. Don't think I'm that bad?
He sold his soul. With the amount of f*ck ups he has made he doesn't deserve to stay. The classicist crap also stems from him and his party.
green... 😆colour doesn't mean shit, after all, isn't everyone the same colour once the lights are off?
Heh, I meant green party 😮 But still very true. Well got to go finish off some study. Talk to you later pr.
