    force all west brits to go away to their motherland and let the rest of us get on with it without ever hearing phrases like "well that's just a bit irish isn't it"

    of course it is. that's why we are irish, and live here. now piss off!

    I'd make using the phrase "west Brit" punishable by a good slap in the chops.

    I'd round off the points of all those sticky out bits around the coast. Those things will take someone's eye out one of these days.

    The problem with Ireland is there's no fear of the law and the consequences.

    Bring back physical punishment for crimes, whipping and the like for anti-social behaviour. Proper punishment reflecting the impact of crimes. Drug dealers, get a death sentence just as they handed out to their customers/addicts.

    Do that and everything else falls into place.
    Corruption disappears when people fear that they can't buy their way out of justice.

    the weather...it's terrible

    This country is just too bleedin' wet and it gets us all down. Not even better weather, just more reliable weather; warmer and drier in the summer in exchange for colder and wetter in the winter. Sometimes we have all four seasons in one day and it's just impossible to plan for.

    I think Irish society are too afraid of the law to be honest. We're robots, programmed to dive for our seat belt if a Gard is spotted (not that I condone not wearing a seat belt, but I was just making an example). We're afraid of everything, Europe is, in general. London is the most watched city in the world - Big Brother style and it's sickening.

    There's no privacy, no liberty anymore. In fact, the Illuminati have Ireland high on their lists of successful planning if they are to succeed in fitting the worlds population with chips in the future - sure, we're Irish, we'd volunteer.

    Change Bono and Geldof's citizenship, and let them **** off to Britain and lecture Britain on where their tax money should be spent, oh, but they're doing that anyway!

    I heard someone on the radio (they must be right!) say that our national psyche is that we feel that this country doesn't belong to us.

    Its like back in the day when our (nationalist) politicians went to parliament to grab whatever goodies they could from the brits.
    We still feel like were just renting when we actually paid off the mortgage 90 years ago but were still putting holes in the wall and breaking the window to get into our own house.

    We've got keys for gods sake! And take responsibility

    If I could change anything I would change the weather.I would make everyday be like one of the nice summer days we get here ocassionaly.

    If I was restricted to natural powers,I would change the drinking laws which we have.I would make it possible to drink at anytime of the day.Bars should be allowed open for a certain amount of time,regardless of what that time period is.

    Firstly, I'd install some meaning full sense of national pride and ownership of this land.... maybe a year of national service in the RESERVE defence forces... not full national service. Just something to straighten a few people up and help out the government here and there etc...

    Then... I'd take every drug dealer, skanger, scum bag and degenerate (few that they are) who give Ireland a bad name and put them on a little raft and push them out to sea.

    Then take all the dole money saved by doing the above and invest it in culture. Finally, I'd try to reinstall some of our language. It's not stupid or anything. It;s actually quite a great language. Would be better than us speaking West British all the time. :eek:

    sterilise everyone with an IQ lower than 100.

    100 is the average IQ, so if you sterlised everyone under 100, then the currently average people would be at the bottom of the scale, and the 100 position would shift. Then you'd have to sterilise everyone under the new 100, which would be most people, and so forth until no-one was left alive except one person.

    Eventually, you'd have just 1 person left. It would solve a lot of problems.

    I'd change the influence of British tabloid newspaper culture.
    How can anyone in this country call themselves a die-hard Liverpool, United, chelsea fan - its pathetic.
    also, I don't care what cock Jordan is sucking this week. I don't care about maddie McCann, i don't care about Johnny Wilkinson. I'll read about them in the world news section, i don't want 10 pages of gouger to get there.
