    it is Ireland. What an absolute joke its been since the formation of the 'free state' in 1922. I think we should plead with the France to become part of their republic.

    Fuk that.

    The French flag has velcro on the blue and red parts so that they can be removed quickly during a war.

    There are problems, but it's not a failed state.

    You live in Northern Ireland, go ahead and call it a failed state if you want, it's your home

    If you're going to mention the Republic, you don't even live here

    It was 70 odd years of hardship ended by a genius idea:

    "Lower Corporation taxes and they will come"

    which in my opinion is genius in the same sense as Nigerian e-mail scammers are genius.

    Now that that's lived out it course, our housing bubble pyramid scheme has also collapsed. We're right back where we started.

    Incompetent fools in power looking out for their own.
    Ireland is a banana republic.

    In conclusion, a failed state. I mean look at Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark all these countrys have been advanced for decades, and will be for he decades to come, ireland is stuck in some kind of time warp.
