You are talking thru your hoop friendo. As animated kids movies go, its a classic.

No, Tangled was somewhat original, but after it was a success, Frozen is just the new things from Tangled mashed up with loads of Disney clichés.

Old people should have curfews.

There is no housing shortage or housing crisis in ireland, and the rush to build more is being drip fed to us ahead of making a select group of people filthy rich.
The real problem is the lack of de-centralization in the country which has caused everything to be concentrated in a few small areas, rendering everywhere else 'unfavorable or undesirable'

Every disney film has loads of Disney clichés.

While on the subject of Disney films: One of the worse disney movies, and definitely the most over rated is The Lion King.
Most under rated is Pinocchio

I think The Aristocats is one of the more underrated films from Disney. It's not a really heart-wrenching one like The Lion King (which is a stone-cold classic) and looking back on it I guess it could be deemed a little politically incorrect at times, but I think it has the best music of all the Disney films.

For what purpose?

How old do you need to be to qualify?
What time would you start the curfew?

The average member of the public greatly underestimates the average TD's workload. While there are some feckless and corrupt parliamentarians, they are in the minority. Contrary to popular opinion, the evidence suggests that a corrupt politician suffers a more precipitious fall from grace than a corrupt Joe Bloggs (and, arguably, that is as it should be.)

I also do not agree with the POV that TD's are over-paid. IMO Dail reform should focus on reducing numbers and increasing salaries in order to better attract outstanding candidates into politics.

Visiting funerals and organising medical cards is not time well spent for TDs.

I'd prefer a list system for the whole country (ie. One constituency) it would eliminate much of the parish pump politics

The Aristocats is easily in my top two favourite childhood films, jostling for that number one spot with the Lion King! Then again, I always used to just put it down to me being a "cat person"!! :P

I remember getting up early every Saturday/Sunday morning just to watch it. I never tired of it!

There is too much emphasis on how a man uses his penis. The size,hardness and ability to stay hard are the most important factors. There's only so much variation in timing and speed.

Most modern hollywood movies are absolutely crap. CGI, bad acting, crap directors, stupid action films and poor comedies.

I get that Snow White is the first full length animated film ever made and was ridiculously innovative for its time, but the pacing in it is unbelievable by modern standards.
So much of it is just people walking with no dialogue. There's about 17 minutes of actual narrative and the rest is songs or facial expressions

You know, I was gonna say that Ghibli > Disney, but then I thought, that's probably not all that unpopular an opinion

Just because you are receiving Social Welfare/Child Benefit/A Medical Card or any other type of aid or allowence does not necessarily mean you need it or are entitled to it.

All these things need to be regulated and means tested.

Also we cannot expect to get any services including water for free. That's not how the world works and the country couldn't sustain everyone getting constant freebies.

eh we didnt get them for free. we already paid for water ten times over with our taxes.

How about an ''unpopular opinion'' concerning the death penalty and defrauding or incompetent politicians ?

I think we should stop all foreign aid until we get our own finances in order. All of the countries we are providing "charity" to, have a lower debt than us.

If that's the case, I suspect it's because their economies are so piss-poor that no one will lend to them.

Debts aren't really a measure of wealth or lack thereof. I'd be willing to bet that I have a much lower debt than Dennis O'Brien for example.
