    My controversial opinion is that most of the opinions posted here are not actually controversial.

    I think you’ll find the majority of clamping is legal since the 2015 act.

    It's only 33% above a very generous threshold for children.

    If you are gifted 320k, you pay nothing

    If you are gifted €500k from your parents, you pay 12% tax on that.

    If you are gifted 5m, you pay 31% tax.

    It's a very fair tax for preventing intergenerational transfer of wealth

    I don't like seeing women in the men's underwear section of a store or men in the women's. I get shivers down my spine.

    Never. Also never understood people who have such aims. I can't get into the head space of trolls.

    I tend to talk about my own life a lot and things I get up to. Most of the things I do/decide do not bother anyone. Some things seemingly do.

    Usually though I never say anything as an opinion or advice or as something I think other people should or shouldn't do. I simply represent what I myself do. So for that reason mostly things I say do not bother anyone. It tends to be when you preach at others that you get their back up.

    Would be interested on your reasoning against the expansions. Important to note that in the list there are extremely differing countries both in economic performance and social etc. Hard to make an argument against relative high performers of Czech and Slovenia. If those are the measures, Ireland would have never gotten in and today's Spain and southern Italy would be out too.

    The state should build more social housing. A lot more and urgently.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    I hate palestine.

    I'm also pro confederacy and have a number of battle flags in my home office.

    I also am pro choice and pro lgbtq rights, but can see the scientific differences between trans women and AFAB women. This is what got JK "canceled" but she was right.

    Ireland should not provide any aid to foreign countries that are not stable democracies. And even at that, it should only be provided in the event of a natural disaster.

    Restricted breed and crosses of restricted breed dogs should be treated as weapons. You should have to be assessed like you do for a gun licence before you can get one.

    Same penalties should apply as do for guns if you have one without a licence.

    Breeders should be regulated like gun dealers.

    Cui bono?

    The move to ban smoking in open public areas,is stupid and an excessive overreach by the state with not enough merits to justify it



    Anyone who is single and has an affair with someone whom is married/persues them,is blameless in the inevitable fallout

    In general - have internment camps for troublesome members of certain ethnic groups and other citizens from certain communities with little income but apparent wealth. Save us all a heap of bother.

    Currently - stop all 'international protection' immigrants until we can process who we have and send most of them back to build up their own countries.

    I do not want a united Ireland in my lifetime.

    I simply don't want the trouble of dealing with those people (on both sides) and think that we're fine as we are.

    The great annual meeting at Davros is where all nuclear missiles should be sent thats weeding out the real trouble makers !! The one sent onto silicon valley & then onto california & hollywood for starters ! that could do away with a ton of **** , and countries could then make their own rules all over again & get on with it..

    I will add to this that if you go to live in a foreign country at least have the basics in the language of that country so you can communicate. Can't understand folks moving to other countries and not having a word of the language and then refusing to even learn the language of that country.

    Anyone who is convicted of a crime loses all rights until the sentence is served and if that means sharing a cell with 40 others or whatever then so be it.

    People who use the words 'biannual' and ' biennial' should be confined to said island. Is it once every 2 years, or 2 times a year? There may be a correct answer, but it risks misinterpretation. Do you provide enough food for the people on that island to last 6 months or 24 months?

    That's the kind of ambiguity that causes entire systems to collapse

    If you have come here from another country to live and you commit a crime then you serve your sentence here and both you and your family are then deported. I believe that if you go live in another country then you should be grateful to that country for giving you the chances that your home country isn't or cannot provide and that goes for Irish people living abroad. If you don't respect the country you have chosen to go live in then leave that country.
