Got a lift back home with my supervisor.
He is always tuned into the local radio in the car.
Time for news.
First news: Two irish teenagers to appear in court tomorrow over the alleged murder of two polish people.
**
Yes, its a fact that ireland has been flooding with polish people ever since poland became a part of EU and the irish have become quite intolerant to the polish. I myself have personally heard two people talking down on the polish. (1) Two yrs ago I used to work as a tutor in a private learning institute. One day, the manager said “I’m looking for a cleaner for this place. I might put up a few ads for the polish.” ! … (2) My friend, who has an american passport as well as an irish one, went to america last year and got questioned over her status at the airport by a security officer who happened to be polish, to which she replied "who the f are u, this is my country, i’m an american citizen, ur fing polish!" … etc etc etc… Summary: The irish feel superior to the polish and there have been many racist incidents as serious as murder!

Second News: Obama is holding discussions with 40 nations on the issue of nuclear weapons. **
Th radio channel had called in some lunatic from Los Angeles who was giving them a phone interview over the topic. I won’t get into the entire interview but here is one statement made by the interviewee that really amazed me:
*“Most countries who have nuclear weapons is only for the purpose of defence and not for offensive purposes. There is the good and the evil in the world. We would like to think that the States, the EU and certain latin-american countries are the good ones. And other countries who do not provide freedom for its own people are the bad ones.” *
right! He basically labelled every other country evil.
The sad thing is that 90% of the people listening to that news would have automatically believed what he was saying., forgetting the first piece of news about how their own people are so intolerant to other nationalities, let alone other religions. How their country itself has had a disastrous history, terrorist attacks still occur in Ireland by the irish and english terrorist groups.
But no… USA, EU… all good.
