You're from Galway

Galway seems to be a hot bed of revolutionary activity these days. Between the cement truck outside Anglo, our own group, this protest, and several others most people wouldn't know of, the city is restless...

If you turn up protesting at the Dail, then so will the unions, and they'll try to hi-jack your protest.

Or the lunatics in the SWP...

I voted no, its pointless protesting when removing this government now is just going to lead to another bunch of useless politicans with no answers gaining power. Better off letting fianna fail get on with trying to sort their mess out.

thisguy has a point (ironically I was going to say this guy before spotting his username is this guy).

Instead of having a protest, why don't you set up a new political party with competent members and an actual plausible plan ?

Gawd these recent revolution threads make me laugh.

Firstly do you even know what Nama is?Justto clarify cuse allot of people complain wihtout knowing.

If our government was hugley corrupt like Greece and the IMF had to come in,and it was,hell I dunno IGNORING BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS then ya I could see cause for a revolution..other than that you really should be happy with wha you havemyou live in a pretty safe country with a far more stable government than most countrys((And most countrys arent in Europe just to remind ye.((Although I can see why it dosent seem like that now but hey atleast there trying to do somthing))

btw dont say I'm with FF or anything cause Im only 18 and my father aint a TD he a farmer who has been ****ed over with grant money but atleast I can realise why thee things are happening..this is the closest a recession has been to the the one in the 1920's...you know a little thing called the "Great Depression".FF mightent be the greatest government in the worl but it certainly is the lesser of two evils...do you honestly want to vote for Edna kenny who tries to get low level celebraties in his party for votes and make promises such as expanding the school year so parents wont have to look after there kids as much and whos main argument in the election for the Dail was how Bertie didnt have a bankaccount 20 years ago :rolleyes:.

There seems to be certain people who are fanatics in hating FF,My former English teacher((Of this year)) who was recently fired as of her horrid treatment towards students once worked ina speech into her teachings of how she hates FF,Going as far to say how they were responsible for everything bad that happened to the country,I would have almost thought that she would have even gone to say that they used time machines to sink the lusitania and cause the famine .They are the party thats been in power more often than most so of course they will be there for the worst but they've also done allot of good.

Also just too add I think people should blame Bertie more than Cowen,Bertie jumped ship knowing that this ws going to happen not long beofre the reccession hit.Cowen was stuck with this and atleast he's trying to fix it((Not saying he's doing a perfect job but botht he IMF and Europe have stated that Ireland has indeed taken the steps to right it's self,mostly with Nama and such,if we didnt then the IMF would be in hear creating huge cut backs,raising the unemployment level and cutting gov services and in greeces case they are also selling greek islands!.))

So just to say count yerself more lucky than most and think it properly through before trying to start a laughable rebellion...this isint 1916...we dont have a great oppresor or people being beaten and killed on the streets with a national culture being supressed...Its a bit of money that will right its self...maybe not today....maybe not tomorrow or next week but it wont last forever or that many years so stop worrying,look at how much Ireland has bettered it's self since the early 90's...things may seem like i t but its nothing but an echo not a mirroring.

Now for the rant backs
