Subject: What a joke

An American mom here and it is so funny to hear Irish and UK folks here bash America, how terrible it is and the orange man in charge. Yet YOU are the ones that spent thousands to bring your kids here to dance. You were the first to book your flight over. Oh, don’t forget a trip to the outlet malls, Disney. You hate to admit it but you are bitter. Irish people think NYC is the center of the universe, you come into the city with your GAA tops on like anyone gives a rats ass you’re from Mayo. If you could move to America tomorrow, you would. Stop pretending you’re afraid and appalled at the thought of being here.

I don't know a single European who would willingly move to the US. We like healthcare, worker's rights, annual leave, and we like not being governed by nonces. (Andrew M-W didn't have any power so sit down on that one). (NT) -- ., 06:06:36 03/31/26 Tue
- Healthcare? -- Mom, 06:12:45 03/31/26 Tue
  - No-one I know has had treatment in the US - I work in the NHS so I know the issues but also know groundbreaking treatments are coming from here. -- ., 06:21:39 03/31/26 Tue
    - Enjoy Sharia law. (NT) -- ., 06:39:31 03/31/26 Tue
      - I won't, because I don't live in a Muslim country and there is no plan or plot to change UK law. Hope this helps. (NT) -- ., 06:57:33 03/31/26 Tue
        Right - keep on believing that. Have seen the power shift across the UK, you are blind if you don't think you are in trouble. (NT) -- ..., 16:10:31 04/02/26 Thu
        Oh we’re in trouble all right - if Reform get in. And because everyone is afraid of that, they’re pandering to the far right. (NT) -- M, 00:53:40 04/04/26 Sat

      - Can't say I knew the UK economy is eight times smaller than the USA. Cool, cool. How much bigger is your country than ours again? How many more people? You're the size of our entire continent mate, doesn't make you better. English food is the shit btw. 230 Michelin starred restaurants in the UK. Only 235 in the entire US. (NT) -- ., 02:59:58 04/01/26 Wed
    - Wow, how mighty you preach from your pedestal. You talk big, but many of us see right through you. You want others to believe your tripe, we're not swayed. You don't know any Europeans who would emigrate to the US? HA! And it's ignorant Americans who think it is better elsewhere. Please explain why millions have flocked to the US. (NT) -- can you?, 17:37:15 04/02/26 Thu
  - US healthcare is going south quickly. I moved and I’ve been waiting since January 2025 to get in to see a general practitioner MD to establish care. -- X, 18:45:56 04/01/26 Wed
    - Right. That is not the case, you are exaggerating, what you portray sounds like either Canada or the UK. You could get a PCP to refer you at any time, many times with even a Telehealth meeting with the PCP. Not buying it, seems like you are the entitled one -- from not a privileged patient, 16:40:34 04/02/26 Thu
      - I assure you, appts with PCP MDs in network in my large US city have long waits. I could be seen by an NP sooner (NT) -- waiting for an MD, 11:34:35 04/03/26 Fri
      - Fun fact. Most don't refer to MD as a "general practitioner" in US. That's Ire. & UK. AP is not US, by the language of post and called on it. Agree with the other poster, live in one of the most metropolitan US cities, never had any huge wait, except for annual physical, which is always booked a year for pretty much everyone, due to length of exam -- just saying, 16:52:10 04/03/26 Fri
- LMAO. -- What a joke your argument is, 06:38:04 03/31/26 Tue
  - I'm not there 😅 Hilarious you think I don't know how the NHS is funded as well by the way. (NT) -- ., 06:56:38 03/31/26 Tue
Oh dear. This is too much. Not appropriate. Not who we Americans are. Welcome, everyone! Enjoy the all-you-can buffets and stock up on tooth-whitening products available here but banned in Ireland. Don’t overstay your tourist visa and have a great time. (NT) -- US mom, 07:06:55 03/31/26 Tue
My apologies to anyone who is visiting Worlds from out of the US and reads this. We really aren't all like this. -- x, 08:51:57 03/31/26 Tue
- Well said. We don’t roll the same way politically, but we should hang out. (NT) -- A breath of sanity, 12:06:27 03/31/26 Tue
Are you ok? You sound kind of wound up. This post might go over better on truth social. (NT) -- ..., 13:35:17 03/31/26 Tue
American here any chance I can seek asylum in Ireland or the UK? (NT) -- Lol, 17:16:07 03/31/26 Tue
- why not - everyone else is (NT) -- get in line, 17:49:29 03/31/26 Tue
- Get behind Mohamed and his brother Mohamed and his sister wife Mohamed! (NT) -- What a FOOL!, 04:57:24 04/01/26 Wed
- Go for it - but you will most likely be denied. Can you deal with that, or will your precious ego be shattered? So tired of this, many had issues with other Presidents, but didn't whinge here. You seem to be a victim of TDS. Maybe you should get off of CNN and other heavily slanted news orgs (NT) -- and check out others, 16:22:22 04/02/26 Thu
American here - NO ONE agrees with you. We are a laughing stock of the world and the orange man is the reason. (NT) -- Us mom, 18:50:33 03/31/26 Tue
- You can’t feel as you like. No one is stopping you from joining any other country that will have you. (NT) -- Your new country awaits you!, 05:02:06 04/01/26 Wed
- Hillary lost. (NT) -- get over it already!, 07:41:54 04/01/26 Wed
- You shouldn't be speaking for others. Many would not agree with YOU. You are the one who makes the USA a laughing stock, because the millions who want to go to the US can't fathom why YOU knock your own county while they DESPERATELY want to enter. It's not the orange man, it is YOU. (NT) -- check a mirror., 17:40:47 04/02/26 Thu
Absolutely. Borrowing from another post. There is only ONE country in the world that millions have flocked to, legally and illegally, because of what it has to offer and it is NOT the UK or any European country, Asia, or Russia. ONE COUNTRY that attracts thousands - guess - -- give up? to help you - USA -, 16:17:16 04/02/26 Thu
- And yet you all want to be Irish (NT) -- The hypocrisy., 04:47:29 04/03/26 Fri
  - Wait, what? No-one "wants to BE Irish" Whatever do you mean by that statement, anyway? We want to visit, add to the economy, trace our roots, but beyond that? Nope. Not when we have to pay upfront for any medical care, not when we have to pay VAT on top of everything else. Not with pretty much everything regulated. No hypocrisy here -- you jealous, maybe?, 16:20:18 04/03/26 Fri
    - Have you never heard the saying "1 in 3 claim to be Irish"? There's something particularly reprehensible about a nation of immigrants deciding to pull the ladder up behind them to appease billionaires. (NT) -- ., 08:19:48 04/04/26 Sat
      - Jealous of Americans? Haha the nation without culture. (NT) -- Snowflakes, 14:17:57 04/04/26 Sat
        Clearly posted by a "woke" 'Merican. No one outside of the US has a clue of what a "snowflake" is. The US does have a culture, one that has been earned for 250 years. It is why millions keep flocking there. Pity that many 'Americans miss that simple point. (NT) -- observation, 14:40:11 04/04/26 Sat
        Anyone fluent in English knows what a snowflake is. Snowflakes are usually the ones using the term woke incorrectly btw. (NT) -- ., 04:14:44 04/07/26 Tue
        Funny that you actually don't even define the term. You've definitely no clue to it or it's etymology (oh and that's not about bugs, my dear). But have fun deflecting. Many Americans DO miss that millions have flocked there for some basics, and most likely their -- own ancestors, 03:58:33 04/10/26 Fri
      - First, you need to learn history. Second, claiming a heritage or ancestry does not equal a want to be. Simply heritage and ancestry. Same applies to those of German, which happens to been one of the largest ancestry of most Americans, AND even more so, British ancestry, which is also greater than Irish. Nothing reprehensible about rules and guides. -- Education is powerful, 15:11:03 04/04/26 Sat
        Culture isn't something that can be earned haha. America has no culture (NT) -- You borrow others, 00:08:52 04/05/26 Sun
        And the UK and Ireland are giving their cultures away! (NT) -- Enjoy, 04:46:52 04/05/26 Sun
        What are you basing that on? I live in the most diverse city in the UK and I don't feel my culture is under threat in any way - it's enhanced by diversity. What I don't like is the proliferation of flags put up by gammons. (NT) -- ., 02:44:41 04/09/26 Thu

        Who said culture had to be earned? What is wrong with assimilating from others. English culture is "borrowed" from the Normans and Romans, mostly, isn't it? -- last we checked, 04:02:59 04/10/26 Fri
