    I gave up watching TV in 2000, and get my films from Putlocker.is. The internet is all I need, I don't miss being dumbed down by the states propaganda channel that is RTE.

    But what you really don't miss is paying to watch tv.

    Maybe I should get my 6 year old nephew to post as he seems to get the RTE/Catholic Church/Fianna Fail connection OK?
    You are ignoring my points that refute RTE being a mouthpiece for FF, whereas all you are offering to counter this is "It's a propaganda station because it is."
    How would it have been a propaganda station when FF was not in power?

    Maybe it was more inclined to toe the party line more in the past - more in relation to the catholic church than FF in my opinion, but not today. There are no actual examples being given of how it broadcasts propaganda content. Even if it does so subtly, tangible examples could still be given.

    Your six year old nephew may have a better grasp of reality.
    Realistically Ryan Turbidy has the most clearest Fianna Fail pedigree , Nicky Byrne could hardly be called influential at all.

    He made a lot of Westlife fans wet. Now that is some influence over women.

    Yes I am ignoring your points, all of them. The penny will drop soon.
    In other news, water is wet.

    So you cannot provide examples of RTE broadcasting propaganda content today. Ok then.

    Corruption, lying, and hatred.

    Agreed. 16 years of not paying a TV licence. Putlocker is free, so no Netflix needed either.

    "I'll make whatever claims I want, and then I'll pretend to be above backing them up if questioned!"

    Still the fantasist, I see.

    You know what bores people?
    People that derail a thread with another topic.
    They go on and on like someone with asperger syndrome talking about their favourite topic on a loop. They just can't get off it.
    Agreed, I cannot provide examples, nor do I want to.
    I am not interested in trying to satisfy the insatiable.
    It's true what they say, one cannot educate pork.
    So I won't try.

    Always the fantasist never the realist, that's me.
    How are you enjoying living in reality then?
    50 Shades of Grey DVD tonight and mass tomorrow for a thrill is it?
    Happy days.

    I take it you're not a fan of the Catholic Church?

    I am London-Irish, and suffice it to say we got it hammered into us; parents, teachers, mass. Full on indoctrination. My father was educated by Christian Brothers, my mother by Nuns. Enough said. Rosary beads, pictures of the Sacred Heart, Child of Prague ornaments, palms, holy water fonts, you name it.
    Our home was like a Knock or Lourdes shrine.
    Honestly, I think as bad as ISIS are; the Catholic Church are worse when it comes to child abuse. I abhor religion, but the Catholic Church is at the top of my list. It sickens me to see the mini-brides done up for their conformations even now. The indoctrination and forced baptisms to get into state schools still going on. Such is the desperation of the Catholic Church to secure the revenue stream of the next generation.
    I say this to those who believe in God.
    That MP Jo was a good woman, so if there was a God then why would he allow someone so decent to be murdered and leave 2 children motherless?
    You see this is why I don't believe in God. The good die, and the evil live on.

    People who put large exhausts on small cars, driving around in little Nissan Micras being the prats that they are.

    Teenagers. There's no need to remove them from the world permanently but just store them somewhere.

    People who push identity politics.

    I have to confess when I was 17 I did put a large exhaust on my 1.1 litre car.
    I think modifying cars is a phase all you men go through. Then one matures and discovers penetration and drugs for entertainment. Less semen in testes, less car modifying, seems to be the proven formula.

    Nuclear weapons , software patents,
    trade treatys.
    Who benefits from patents apart from big companys and patent trolls .
    Let countrys trade with who they choose .
    trade treatys are now designed to limit competition and increase the cost of drugs .
    just google ttp treaty isds courts for more info on it.

    Actually you are in luck.
    There is a vacancy at my mansion. I was dating a fit blonde Polish girl, but left her in charge of watering my weed plant. She committed the unforgivable sin of overwatering it. I have since dumped her despite her begging for forgiveness. Honestly, some women are so dopey. How can you get 1 litre confused with 2 litres? Its taken some emergency action on my part to get my plant back to full health.
    So I am now looking for a higher calibre replacement hole to unload in.
