"What is with the fascination with where I am from/where I live?
Where I come from, where I live is nobody's business, nor is it of any importance."
Having read a number of your statements, I have noticed that you generalise, stating that your experience is exactly the experience of all the Irish. I have noticed that Irish 2x2s are misrepresented as a result. I have noticed that you justify your statements with "but in my country, this is how it is." For this reason, I believe it is important...that people know that "where you live" is not really populated by tiny little girls who wear ankle-length skirts and walk around with long faces. This is why I believe that where you live is important.
"I've been accused of being a liar by a guest who hasn't the guts to join this board and yet, all that I say is true."
I don't accuse you of being a liar. Perhaps you don't realise that not every Irish person has had the same experience as you have. I feel it's important to let you know that.
It does not take guts to join an online networking site. I have no interest in most of the petty discussions taking place here; therefore I feel it unnecessary to waste my time joining the site.
"It's true that where I live nobody in the meetings collected for Haiti, and I know this because none of my 2x2 relations or friends mentioned a collection to neither my family nor me, nor did any worker- and this is because it simply did not happen.Had this been the case I would have got a phone call, text or email from some close friends in the meetings.
Maybe a tiny group of 2x2s secretly sent out stuff where I am, otherwise it didn't happen."
I'm unaware of how many 2x2s sent out aid to Haiti. I do know that there were some. As was discussed in that thread, not everybody likes to broadcast who and what they donate to.
I do hope this has clarified my position. I don't mean to accuse you of being a liar; just felt that at this point another perspective was required, of an Irish/northern Irish person, to point out that your experience does not go for all the Irish/northern Irish.
