    So you joined boards, tonight, to specifically join this discussion.

    I acknowledged you were a new poster btw. I just find it bizarre this is where you "jump in"

    Why is that hard to fathom? What was your first post about?

    Just had a quick look. It was the Tesco dispute/scabs. I find it bizarre that that's where you ''jumped in''.

    To snowflaker....yes, I joined in this conversation based on the news that people were murdered in London today. Hardly a giant coincidence. And as for your "too xenophobic" to read....

    Lets be clear, I'm not xenophobic, I'm not afraid of immigrants. Why don't you answer one of the questions I put above?

    Short version of it....is immigration helping or hindering the many real problems we have in the country? Ive already stated clearly that immigration isn't the cause of many of those problems, just that it is contributing to them and making them harder to fix. Whats illogical about that? Do you have anything to say?

    I existed in the before time, the long, long ago. Most posters did. Then the crash happened.

    From a friend of mine on FB this evening apologies for the language but a good rebuttal of the all Muslims are bad brigade.

    I just don't get it- london lockdown, social media pictures of the terrorist been saved by our very own medical services trying to help him, a police man who went to work this morning not going to see his family again, two other people lost their lives as well, they will not be with their loved ones as well.

    This what I don't get- if you want to kill your self for Islam then you must be ****ing blind or can't read the Quran properly- why the heck do you tarnish the good Muslim out their? The hell fire awaits you and you can't be a Muslim as it's forbidden.

    I may offend some people but this is MY OPINION- why do it?

    RIP The Policeman & Two Innocent lives today.

    Without freedom of movement Irish people wouldn't have been able emigrate, making our downturn a catastrophe, luckily, freedom of movement helped to relieve the spike in youth unemployment and as the economy recovery we can have inward migration again to boost the growing economy

    Why do you need 2 to replace 1? Populations would double every generation if that was the case, and that doesn't happen, and IS NOT required.

    I'm just back in the thread so I have no idea what this is in relation to but with regards to population growth... It has been increasing since medical science got better. Previous generations were killed off on a regular basis. I have no idea if you'd need two to replace one but the population growth is increasing massively.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 672 ✭✭✭pangbang


    again to snowflaker (if someone wants to point out the quote system to me, it'd be appreciated!).......about the pyramid scheme, I said it was a simplified example, not anything else. Of course its easy to pick holes in it.

    Population is increasing everywhere, while many fundamentals to life are decreasing. Its a pyramid scheme.

    Just find it bizarre you jumped in on this account on the Tesco debacle. It's almost as if you had an opinion on it, say the way pangbang has an opinion on this thread.

    Pangbang said you need two to replace 1, did you read what I quoted??? I disputed that.

    It was Tesco on this account. Bizarre :P

    to coco0891......and who will look after this increased population when productive working life eventually ends?

    Have you ever considered that theres a reason why populations are stabilising in Europe? Have you considered that its a natural process that protects us (and earth!) from a ballooning, unsustainable demand?

    Well that's weird! I tried that before and it wasn't coming up (now it is). Maybe because I was a new user or something. Thanks!

    On 2fm the news said it's now 5 dead(including the alledged attacker) and at least forty injured. I don't feel any less horrified when this has happened in the past but I do feel a bit more worried as London and the uk isn't the other side of the world.

    What exactly are the Irish states preparedness if god forbid it ever happened here.

    I wouldn't think that they are expecting anything like that to happen here.
    Don't forget, we are a very small neutral generally peace loving nation who have never got involved in any major conflicts.
    Ireland is one of the safest places on the planet right now.
    This is not our fight.

    Population is increasing in many parts of the world but Europe is pretty much static, however the average age is increasing. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this will lead to population decline in the future which is unsustainable given the age profile that will exist then

    P.s this is probably not on topic so maybe we should leave it


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭please helpThank YOU


    London attack on Westminster and Westminster Bridge. I was there 4 weeks ago and had pictures taken on the very spot this attack happened today.

    It is off topic, but I'll say one more thing. If you take it as a given that natural resources (and human resources like employment, housing) are on the decline or under too much pressure.....then as I said above, perhaps population decline is simply a consequence of falling into line within natural boundaries. We are going to have a problem with a lop-sided aged population, but it might just be a bullet we have to bite now, in order to stop it being a problem forever! An evolutionary thing?

    Scotland yard confirmed an Islamic terrorist attack according to Fox. Almost as good as the Guardian.

    Yes you keep telling yourself that.

    Some of the images released on Al Jazeera were just harrowing. Wish I had not switched on the news stations, to be honest.

    I'm not "telling " myself anything.
    I don't see any reason for me to worry about myself being in danger from a terrorist attack.
    What makes you think that you are in immediate danger from a terrorist attack?

    Hasn't a cleric living in Ireland said there is radicals here and we are not doing enough to keep an eye on them.

    And it's only a matter of time due to the Americans using Shannon as a stop off to do their dirty work in the middle east?
