Further to RTÉ2’s launch of the Generation What survey for 18 to 34-year-olds across 12 European countries earlier this week…

We have already had a phenomenal response with more than 13,000 people participating on generation-what.ie and the numbers continue to grow.
The survey is already throwing up some very interesting results though it should be stressed that it is constantly evolving as more and more people respond to it.
Those who wish can complete the survey here
Previously: Oh God Y
More importantly I’ve just realised that the negative space to the east and west of France looks like a beaky-lipped witch having a frank conversation with a mustachioed Alfred Hitchcock.
…can’t unsee.
to me it looks more like Wimpy out of popeye than hitchcock
Hmmmmmm…. comprehensive.
The French showing their class again. Cue all the angry Irish atheists claiming to be happy… Must be all the random sex they are having.
How do you know they’re Christian like you? :)
Where did I say they are Christian? Where did I say Im Christian?
You’re god’s gimp.
Either
84% of people lied about being religious on 2011 census
or
lied on this survey about being happy without religion
Lie either way :-)
some of that big percentage, not all, of course. Unless the survey targeted atheists – ?
They’re two different questions – the census one and the one above (and obviously the cso one us far more comprehensive). One can be religious but agree that one can be happy without religion.
Some people take great delight in calling people liars, when all they’ve done is tick a box as they see fit.
It’s 5 years since that census, things change over time. Also this survey is skewed towards younger people, whereas the census is of the population as a whole. The census is generally filled out by the head of the household, as opposed to the individual themselves. Finally, they are two different questions.
Results might change dramatically if people had to write their religion down instead of ticking a box.

I wonder how smug you would be if they had answered they believe in a Muslim god, rather than a Christian god.
I dunno who that was aimed at. But it’s the same God.
With much different rules
Ben Affleck’s and Christian Bale’s Batmans are based on the same original fictional story. They are not the same Batman. Same as Muslim/Christian God.
God be with the days when I would stick a box of necessities under the spare wheel when I was in Belfast. You could rarely afford to waste them on any random acquaintance. Happy days indeed.
The French letters?
You wuz runnin’ contraband across the borders ! :)
It’s soooo funny when ya think about it. But look, we haven’t moved on too far from that when you consider just this week there was a talk on the national radio station with that dude from Alive! telling us that young men were suffering from depression for wankin’ too much…. and all and any wankin’ is considered too much.
Not a mention of female masterbation from him, probably believes it doesn’t happen.
Forgive the typo on batin’ :)
It’s ok. It was impressive for one-handed typing.
Grindr changed all that. Its all condoms and lube these days.
Define stranger.
define ‘sex’.

You lonely boss? Lookin’ fur biznez?
45% of you are dirty slappers.
55% aren’t gettin’ any.
Absolute BS on the “religion to be happy” question in France. The overwhelming majority of French people do not even associate themselves with any religion. Do your research, these are phony poll results.
You rarely meet a French person professing to be religious outside of the Muslim community
And yet there was ABSOLUTE uproar when they tried to bring in marriage equality.
probably as much to do with French macho culture (ascribed to by numbers of men and women) as religion
57% of Irish respondents would participate in an uprising against those in power.
Is a srt8 black Irish man treated better than a gay camp white one? Is a a member of ugly.org even allowed to apply for a job within to PWC/EY? Una can bang on until the cows come home because that is what she is paid to do but I am pretty certain she won’t be standing outside any dole office asking people’s sexuality.
I’d say that the high numbers of people in Ireland answering yes to sex with a stranger, as opposed to France, is intimately tied to the relationship between sex and high alcohol consumption for Irish people.
wine goggles don’t cut it
no but the heritage of bad sexual socialisation increases the necessity to bring alcohol into the equation, increasing the likelihood that the sexual partner will be a ‘randomer’.
I’ve had a few mornings in my twenties where I woke up beside someone whose name I couldn’t remember, or who I had only just met later in the night, and knew little or nothing about. I would classify both of those as ‘encounters with strangers’.
