    Too many people are like sheep and need approval and consensus for their thoughts and actions

    Even if everything you say and do is wrong or irrelevant I have more respect for someone with a greater range of thought and action than this middle ground

    The worst is the clowns who sneer or mock because they've decided it's safe to do so and that's the majority opinion

    Lack of common sense, not thinking for yourself, believing agendas that are being created by govs/news organisations is an epidemic nowadays.

    Obviously there are different sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Listen to everything, make your mind up based on your OWN intuition and experience.

    Liberals are all sheeple and swallow everything fed to them by the feeble, woke media.

    Hard men conservatives all come up to the same conclusion as each other as a result of independent thought.

    This must be ironic.

    I like Boards because you get to interact with radical free thinkers and intellectual hard men.

    This is a very, very common opinion to have.

    Common sense tells me that some things are either true or untrue. The new version of sheep are those who see a conspiracy in everything.

    So those hard men conservatives that think COVID is a hoax, Donald Trump is president and all media is corrupt except for the ones that fully agree with them (until they stop agreeing and become corrupt also)

    Sure..;)

    Also, I don't think you understand the term liberal. Maybe "far-left" would be a better term. Ireland is a liberal country.

    The majority opinion can sometimes be right

    Surely we can all agree that Turbridy is useless and non alcoholic Guinness is the worst invention since the ashtrays on motorbikes

    I think as a country Ireland has a small island mentality. We tend to reach common consensus on most issues. In the past we were all good Catholics. Nowadays it seems like we are all good politically correct Europeans. Pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-EU.

    There doesn't seem to be an ideological tug-of-war that you find in other countries, outside of the internet. The first decent politician that starts to defend more conservative viewpoints in Ireland will be on to a winner. Think Peter Casey but with a bit more talent.

    Two pages in and not an original thought in sight! Maybe the OP is right! ;)

    Feel free to contribute one yourself:P

    People aren't sheep. They just don't care.
    It doesn't matter to most who runs the country. Most of the country are happy so long as they can go to work, get paid, have their family and hobbies.

    Probably better off for it too.

    Are you Rich Boy Barrett or Paul Murphy?

    Oh sorry you were looking for someone with an original thought. That rules out those two clowns

    There was an ancient greek philosopher who openly lived penniless in the marketplace in a big glass jar. He hid nothing. Doglike.

    When asked why he would masterbate in public he said

    If only one could banish hunger by rubbing ones stomach.

    He was no sheep

    According to some Australians there are 30 million sheep in New Zealand. And 5 million of them think they are people.

    Ironically, those who use the term "sheep" to describe others are the ones most likely to be taken in by bullsh*t
