Losing our Indepencendce

NinjaK · 02-12-2011 12:43pm #1

Just wondering what are the thoughts of the people on this website. We gained our Independence from England after 800 years of occupation not too long ago. It was a long fought struggle in which many great Irish men died in the process.
Now we have lost our economic Independence until we pay off the bankers debts and now we are also facing more loss of sovereignty with the upcoming fiscal union with the EU - http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/1202/eurozone.html
Personally I am totally against this. If a country doesn't have Independence then it is a pathetic country. I feel sorry for our Patriotic dead, they died for this pathetic bimbo generation who have destroyed this country.

With yet another treaty possibly on the way, we're screwed.
Germany once again is taking control over Europe and the political sheep are letting it happen.

We are Ireland,we are a tiny little speck on the edge of europe that no one cares about who never had real independance anyway.

Just emigrate to a proper country if you want.

Never should have given the vote to any species from the family Bovidae.

Ask not what your country can do for you- ask what your country can do for Germany.

He he he. Come classic biting satire there. Great stuff Pighead. And to think some people here think you're a dumbass who only does fart jokes.

Anyway back to the original point. OP stop writing messages giving out about the country's situation and start writing messages making jokes and biting satire instead. Joking and satirising are the only way we'll get ourselves out of this mess.

lets just hope the Euro recession continues to deepen and that Greece goes tits up. there is not point in us citizens been able to vote on a referendum on a treaty when the powers that be just continue to make a mockery of democracy by making us re-vote until they get the answer they want.

dolanbaker doubts that Ireland will be allowed to remain in the "euro mkII" club, so there is no real need to worry about losing sovereignty.

Snakeblood · 02-12-2011 12:52pm

I think we should all get naked and start riding each other, the IMF will leave in disgust.

Pighead just went to his bank manager and said, 'Pighead like to start a small business. How does he go about it?'
'Simple,' said the bank manager. 'Buy a big one and wait.'

He he he. Classic.

Chalk Pighead down for 30c AC. It's all for a good cause.

There's more chance of the government getting a line of comedians queueing up to punch them.

They are a big joke so should be taxing themselves more.

Look at Sweden for example. They decided to CUT taxes, etc to fight the current economic problem and for them, it worked. Their country is booming!

Each country is different but once again we acn/should learn from others who are actually doing things right.
Us do things right with either FG or FF or Labour? Got to be fcukin kidding!

I say "F**k it", let zee germans take over. At least they can run their own country and have shown an interest in taking over Europe anyway for the last 100 yrs.

I'm sure they'd do a much better job than any of our political parties could ever do.

I couldn't believe when Ireland's budget was leaked to Germany.
It's like saying please look at our budget, is it okay with you ??

lol

Wasn't leaked to Germany. Our budget details was given to 27 countries.
The Germans just let it leak out what our lot did.

http://www.thejournal.ie/berlin-documents-were-compiled-six-weeks-before-the-budget-282295-Nov2011/

The documents are dated October 28 – the date on which the votes for the presidential election were counted – and were circulated not just to Germany, but to all European Union finance ministers.

sensibleken · 02-12-2011 1:43pm

what people seem to overlook is that further integration includes integrating with the basketcases aswell (yes i include ireland in that)

This whole shít storm was caused by contagion and exposure, how in the name of god does increasing integration reduce that
