    Well, we should all move to Canada then, lucky sods.

    Suppose we could all go back to the 1700's as I'm sure it was perfect then.

    Dying to know what was so great then though, before I get in my Tardis!

    Well, I doubt either of the above would help, that would only patch up the situation imo. The system needs to crash, it cant sustain itself, it never could.

    I would recommend storing some dry food away for a rainy day or months, perhaps a few gas masks too lol.

    Seriously though, seriously :eek:

    No, we were always down.

    We discovered borrowing from the mid 70's on and splurged, to such an extent we were nearly bankrupt come 86/87.

    We had taxes of about 35-65% + PRSI.

    We then cut taxes, but amazingly cut the huge Debt. It goes against the general point in this thread.

    Yep, we fecked it up in the last 10 years, but, reducing taxes and debt meant we were in a very good position in 2000. Unfortunately, we reverted to type again and based the last decade on selling houses and cars to each other model.*

    *Rather simplistic, but you get my point.
    Did the tax take rise or fall with those rises? Was spending cut? I know you're not an idiot so have to assume you're being purposely disingenuous.

    Corporate tax was lowered to one of the the lowest in the world(12.5%). As a result lots of MNC(Multinational corporations) arrived creating employement, which lead to a larger tax take as PAYE workers are on a much higher scale(35-50%). This meant we were taking in far more tax despite having lower rates. Therefore we borrowed less.

    What rises? I was talking about tax cuts during the 87-2000 period.

    Spending was cut initially but increased after a few years.

    Apologies, I meant cuts. And as the above quote shows, which you knew, a cut in the headline rate of tax can lead to increased tax take, which happened, and spending was cut. Lower taxes (but increased receipts) and less spending led to an improvement in the economy and in debt. Course then we decided to once again increase spending massively, not on one-off costs but on wages and SW which was a ****ing retarded idea.

    Cheers Talkie.

    I think I'll do a bit of looking into this subject, it's extremly interesting.

    I dont understand why they say it is physically impossible for them to have existed,dinosaurs existed.
    Or maybe they didnt.

    I'm not 100% on it, but I think they're referring to the fact that you can't just double the size of a human and have a giant. The bone density has to increase for one and the bones in the pictures wouldn't be strong enough to support a body of that size. I think that's what they mean. I read up on the square-cube law thing that's meant to explain it, but it's a bit advanced for me.

    I've been watching the antics of Henry Sheflin recently, i'm 100% sure he is a shapeshifting alien reptile. Any else spot any GAA reptilians? I'm pretty sure Gooch Cooper is too. They really are infiltrating everywhere.

    Reality isn't linear and not eveything is a rock you know. Energy can manifest into anything form. This world is a hologram.

    I was watching a vid on fractals and a guys theory that within every atom even our bodies is a tiny tiny tiny black hole(maybe why we get old?),he proceeded to show how this could be possible with physics and other theories.It was pretty interesting and got me thinking about alot of other connections.
    Like Ickes lectures on his theory of the matrix and a holographic universe.
    What makes me curious is what is on the other side of all those black holes.
    Is that "heaven"? Or are we another consciousness on the other side?
    Maybe an alien lifeform visits us from that place too ^^
    I dont believe all this but its fun to consider it anyway.

    Not a fukking hope.good special effects though, 10/10.

    I presume its the second alien he's referring to, as the first one is obviously a dramatisation. The effects are crap, far from 10/10.

    Its a youtube clip from a TV program on the SyFy channel, not something someone made in their garage. the same SyFy channel that commissioned Battlestar Galactica.
