    To complement the other thread, maybe we could mention some people that should be proud of themselves.

    Stephanie Meehan is one such person IMO. She's in the news at the moment for her role in getting the Priory Hall residents much needed help, battling through her husbands suicide and grabbing the governments attention and demanding action.

    Who else should be proud of thenselves?

    Tk Whittaker. He was the civil servant who in the 1950s/1960s created the policies that resulted in our economic growth until 2008. Without him we would probably still be a poor country with mass emigration (proper mass emigration as in 5% of the population leaving every year)

    I should be, really. But I find it a struggle sometimes. I'm humble, it's my best feature.

    I think after this week the prophet Mohammed should be proud of himself, both his parents died when he was young, he started off as a poor Shepard boy to being a prophet of one of the largest religions today.

    Great guy

    Anyone that is proud of themselves should be ashamed of themselves.

    Was often told by me Mammy ....."I hope yer proud of yourself"....

    I suppose maybe I should be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    So we've had Gerry Adams, Islam and a dose of Irish self-loathing already?

    Okay let's just mention, Travellers, bankers, politicians, Arabs, Nigerians, Roma Gypsies, immigrants, Hitler, Israel and 'Merica so we can get them out of the way too.

    Unfortunately it's much easier to tear people down than build them up.
    For me, it's a friend that went to Nepal and started an orphanage and is working real hard on financing it and keeping it going.

    Me. I was moving boxes of junk and decided to take 3 at a time despite my wife saying I'll drop them. I ignored her as per 'man rules No.1' and lifted them and was half way across the room and lost my grip and dropped all three of them spilling contents of two of them all over the floor. She looked at me and said 'now look what you done...I hope your proud of yourself. ' I was.

    So you're saying the prophet Mohammed wasn't a great guy ?

    Sounds awfully blasphemes that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,780 ✭✭✭Frank Lee Midere


    Any physicist, scientist, mathematican, geneticist, medical practitioners, engineers or others who have advanced human science and helped fellow humans to live longer or better lives.

    Artists novellists script writers and musicians who entertain us and tell us something about the human condition.

    Ordinary people who keep society going in the public or private sector, and do their job well and without complaint. ( Or even with complaint).

    About 10 years ago my Aunt, who is nearly 80 now, took over the raising of my Nieces and Nephews after their Mother (my cousin) was killed in a car crash and they were left with a useless Father.
