    Only so that I'd forget every other thread we already have on this exact same topic, so that I could properly enjoy this umpteenth one.

    I'd delete George W. Bush from my memory. Bastard exes aren't worth the money.

    Hell yes and I'm sure the feeling's mutual

    The ex, yes.

    The result of the relationship? Hell No. He's a dote despite me and my ex.

    No though I might shave some of the rough corners off the random shame pangs...

    i think when the realtionship ends first off i'd love to delete it but later on its nice to have the good times to look back on.. i know thats the way i feel..

    I wouldn't.

    Having been in a very long term relationship and subsequently having dated a lot of girls I wouldn't change a thing.

    Each relationship is an experience and you learn more about yourself and what you want from each one.

    You realize what you want and what you don't want, and most of the time what you think you want you really don't want.

    I wouldn't change a thing. :)

    Just my 2c.

    I would choose to forget having seen M. Night Shamalamamalayan's films so I could reexperience the twists for the first time.

    Why cos he killed a load of maniac bomber plus a mass killer (Sadam) I honestly think he done a good job, and i only hope his efforts result in the killing of Osama, through Obama. He had the right idea i praise him for it. War is their for a reason and he had the best reason of all. Kill these anti-humanity scum !!!

    i 100% agree dude.. i know theres one realtionship i had with a girl and we had a very messy break up ( she cheated on me with my best mate on christmas eve!!) at the time i would have done anything just to forget it all, but now i look back from time to time on the good times we had together and smile......

    Ignoring the total irony of your last line, don't you think he should've focussed on finding Osama right off the bat, considering it was Osama who made the direct attack on the country and killed thousands of Americans on their own turf? Instead he went a totally different route interfering with an entirely separate country which, afaik, hadn't made any attacks on Americans on their home turf, and ignored Osama for the 8 years he was in office.

    It's all well and good he got Saddam but his first priority should have always been Osama. He didn't focus on that at all, it seems like he just completely let it slide in spite of the thousands of people who suffered that day. Kind of insulting to the people in the towers and on the planes tbh.

    I won't bother mentioning the debt.

    Anyway, moving on. I don't want to turn this thread into a political debate.

    Remember the WMD'S? Sure that's why they justified the invasion.

    Never was a distraction, definitely not.

    I dont like polotics myself and the last thing i want to do is get into them, but everyone is too quick to go against Bush, Sadam has being murdering more people every day he was in charge, he probably had a bigger count than hitler, and for bush to organize the capture and hanging of sadam i could not be happier, how many more innocent people would have suffered under the reign of sadam? he disgusted me tbh and i am glad he was hung, enjoyed wathing him hang on youtube !!!

    Fair play to ya then, that's your point of view. I'm in the boat of "let other countries do whatever the hell they want to themselves til they lash out at your country on your turf, then fight back" and am pretty much anti-World Police in general.

    To each their own then so. Different opinions make the world go 'round. :)

    Yes but the WMD's, that the best intelligence service in the world definitely said existed?

    I'm more worried about how they duped people into believing what they wanted.

    erm by delete do you mean murder?





    If so yes!!

    YES YES YES!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    I wouldn't wish to delete them completely because you learn a little something from each, such as don't get caught.
    No, in all seriousness I never dwell on past relationships and never feel comfortable discussing it with the current girlfriend. It's in the past and there it can stay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    There is one in particular I would love to nuke from my memory. Unfortunately they havnt invented the machinery yet but I find alcohol works wonders.

    I'd erase the memory of my friend telling me the ending of Soylent Green
    It's made of people.
    Now I can't enjoy the feckin film! :mad:

    Otherwise it wouldn't do much good, I'd rather not have done some things, but such is life.

    You should read the book. Sometimes knowing the ending isn't the be-all end-all. There's a lot in the middle to enjoy, too.

    Although it's rather off topic, Coalition forces came quite close to getting a hold of OBL, however politics on the ground hindered their progress. Anyway, that's a discussion for another day. :pac:


    Now back on topic, no I wouldn't delete any of them. Fair enough things may not have ended well but there's still plenty of things you can look back at and say "Jesus those were good times"... Plus, it's all part of the learning experience which we call life.

    If you delete somebody from your mind you are liable to repeat the same mistakes again and again. Though of course some people seem to never learn! I would like to erase Jim Carey's face from my memory, that gurning "I'm mad I am" face is sooooo annoying!

    Well it made him a crapload of cash and a career so something must be working eh?:pac:

    Personally i wouldnt get rid of memories, whats the point?

    p.s. Eternal Sunshine is a brilliant film:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 645 ✭✭✭StopNotWorking


    Whats the point of doing anything if you have the chance to forget what you learned from it..

    I wouldn't delete a single memory. Even the most imbarrasing ones hold a lesson of some sort.

    yes i would deffo get rid of them all because none of them ever gave me anything worth loving them for.

    Though i suppose them being pricks led me to my fiance so i suppose i cant complain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭pearliefan


    hmmm... yeah I maybe would. though the thought of losing memories would be so horrible.. at the same time it'd help with a few things! Maybe just rewind time a bit, that'd be handy. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. :)

    Wouldn't delete any of my exes. Speak to most of them from time to time and in general, they're great guys. Had good times with them, learned things, wouldn't change a second really.
