@Towngate and Wounded Knee etc . This is highly representative of Dublin's youth / young adults. His accent and language are bang on. Please try to be a little opened minded or positive from time to time. Signed, one of the aforementioned Dubliners.

this is art. poetry. acting. videography. it's a gauge to irish accents too, dublinese I presume... half the words I can't understand or don't know the meaning... that's ok; the piece has a flow and a rhythm that's very appealing, kind of like a beat rap from a late fifties beatnik... great to see Dublin's center belong all to one young guy, maybe disenfranchised but maybe rooted and clearheaded... may 2013 be filled with posts on this site that seek to illuminate more than to denigrate, eh?...

Happy New Year to all IC readers but regarding this video and article, you are reminded this the 1st if January - not April! as the poster has us all April Fooled by presenting this as a heartfelt cry from a young Dublin man pondering his future ... when it is no such thing! I posted my misgivings at the start aof these comments - and have since discovered this is professionally produced film and is performed by a Trinity educated actor Emmet Kirwan. "Emerald Extracts" should explain it dishonest presentation of this article and video!

IC is largely full of hateful, angry, ill informed and ill educated louts. Just read the comments. Welcome to the left; all opinion, no facts, liberal toward only freedoms they agree with and, of course, no tolerance for differing opinions and then the bullying tactics. It's all here. Thaw same people want to take your constitutionally guaranteed gun rights away but think absolutely nothing of supporting the killing of children in the womb or trying to shut up Bill O'Reilly or you, if they don't like your view. Welcome to the left folks.

@ Curititba no i am not homophobic, I love the gays.. If you actually have a look you will see Woundedguy is the one throwing the insults and a constant bully to most people on I.C.

Curitiba | Dec 31, 2012, 01:03 AM EST Not my comment-this one was attributed to my name, but someone else made it. The IC software often does this.

I like the way everyone throws insults at woundedknee, but nobody actually comes out and declare that what he says is factually incorrect. If you think he is wrong, please say why he is wrong. Otherwise you make yourselves look like intellectual inadequates, unable to form a coherent argument. But then maybe you are...

Clowngate is about as Irish as Cromwell. He once posted on this sight that Patrick Pearse was a fascist racist nobody and wounded brain is the sights leading bigot.

eiriamach, It does not bother me what the ould git say's. He is sick. Have to say though he does like a certain type of woman when he comes to Ireland, and it cost him dearly.He let it slip a couple of years ago, when his ranting got the better of him.

It cannot be said too often (so I'm saying it for the 3rd time today) that WoundedKnee does NOT represent anything at all American. He and his dwindling group of inbred "like-minded" desperately hang onto their "Irish" as a way of convincing themselves, in complete self-delusion, that they are somehow superior to other Americans. Ignore them, or call them what they are, but please don't mistake them for representative Americans of Irish descent. There is no behavior more typical of WoundedHead and his cohort than trying to silence women, as he's doing below AGAIN!

Momma Ginnty--You're a year older, and a year dumber. Someone who wants a prudent and moderate immigration policy doesn't 'hate' other nationalities. Make it your resolution for 2013 to stop being such a stupid idiot. Old age should bring wisdom, not stupidity as in your case.
