If you don't have a vested interest in the governance of the country or something to lose then you shouldn't have a voice in the outcome.

It's become very clear as of late party's are buying the unemployed vote/people seeking citizenship to go on social welfare vote.

Unpopular perhaps but I think as it is currently is unsustainable and leading us down a dead end.

Property owning? Get outta that. Plenty of hard working renters. A property owning “democracy” is an oligarchy.

And what about the recently unemployed or pensioned?

They beat the 7th, 10th and 11th ranked teams, while ranked 16th themselves.

Going by last season in the Prem Lge that would be Huddersfield beating Newcastle, Palace and Burnley ffs.

The women's hockey team got destroyed in the biggest match any of them will ever play in, but they celebrated like they'd won the thing.

Does any country celebrate failure like Ireland??

Have you gotten destroyed in many world cup finals yourself?

So we should lose the vote at 68 or whatever age we all retire at then?

To what end?

I understand the negative sentiment towards the Catholic church, but some churches are beautiful buildings. Although the religion itself seems to be dying in Ireland, perhaps they should be kept as a reminder of the dangers of blind faith.

In Dublin at least, knock most of 'em down for public housing. The land is valuable, the woo ceremonies to a half dozen midweek attendees are not, and they could go elsewhere anyway.

Plough up every golf course in Dublin for public housing, while you're at it. Full of old self-entitled farts who spend their days worrying about people wearing the wrong type of trousers while half arsedly hitting a ball around. Pathetic. It's dying off at a slower rate than the RCC but it's still dying off, and I shall not weep for either.

So could someone decide that football stadiums, cinemas or restaurants are redundant also? What gives anyone the right to tell someone else what should be done with their property? If the government wants to pursue the Catholic Church legally (which I would doubt they want to, given their own complicity) and sue for Church land, that's fair enough.

The idea of just walking in and re-appropriating or destroying property however is socialism/communism, neither of which are moral.

That most parents just tick the boxes and want as little responsibility as possible.

We were going to put Hudson in crèche, but then we thought that we could sniff that money instead.

Disability Allowance is a joke. I don't mean for people who have actual disabilities but I'm talking about those who collect it because they have mild epilepsy or ADHD or some other bull**** "disability".

Never understood why a disabled car in the Motability scheme in the UK covers epilepsy.

My uncle had a seizure driving and crashed, once diagnosed his licence was pulled. I thought that the norm ?

Have you actually ever lived with such issues? There's a reason why some are called 'hidden disabilities'!

I'd say they should be on a case by case basis - I've students I look after with autism and ADD/ADHD and they prefer parking on a higher level away from the crowds - parking next door would not be for them.

Yet there are others who will need to be next door.

Absolutely some emotional and psychological conditions should be covered.

Unacceptable opinion: Liam Miller died with €14m in his estate. I think there are far better causes to be hosting a funding raising match for. His family aren't exactly on the breadline.

Proof ? Plus it's partly a tribute and most is going to the hospice who cared for him.

I just think the term "disability" is being watered down hugely. I'd like to think that each case or claim is analysed on its individual merits but I'm struggling to see this. I know people on DA and they are literally taking the piss. 200 quid a week in their hand on top of their regular jobs. So they're able to work no problem but are still somehow in need of a hand-out at the same time? How does that work?

Despite what I said earlier you have a limited point - being overweight is classed as a disability in the UK (I can't say I've heard of cases here) and as a big girl myself I find it abhorrent that others consider this a reason not to work.

Parents who allow unsupervised access to the Internet in any format to kids under 16 are guilty of neglect.

Kids being cyber bullied/are cyber bullying? Take the fugging phones off them! How hard is it like?

Well the cases I'm referring to are most certainly not people claiming because of being overweight but other ridiculous reasons. This may be a short-sighted view but if you're collecting a full time wage you should not be entitled to DA. You've proved that you aren't reliant on DA by working full time. It serves no purpose. Only those who literally are incapable of working should be entitled to it. Enabling people only results in more laziness and scrounging.

Yes, grossly unfair. Imagine doing that somebody. She took three off him.

He spent his whole life working for those belts, long before he met her.

Why would she want them anyway. They're replicas and only of value to him. What a spiteful weirdo.

Shítty spitefull weirdo alright, but as you say they are only replicas - surely he can just get more made!

While were on the subject - he was a fantastic fighter!

Ridiculous. Basically a throwback to a ruling class of landed gentry. How dare a lowly peasant expect a say in their countries affairs!

Living in the country long term gives you a vested interest in it's governance.

I'm kind of with you on this one - there are increasing numbers of politicians running on "A vote for me, means you won't have to pay for....." platforms.
But that's democracy for you - the country ends up with the government it deserves, vote in enough idiots and you can't complain when they do stupid things!

My own publicly unacceptable opinion is that most national / racial stereotypes are reasonably accurate. There are of course always exceptions - but as a rule of thumb they are a damn good starting point.

Also that people need to accept responsibility for their actions. You are always to blame for the things you do. You weren't led astray, coerced, fell in with a bad crowd, had a tough life, too drunk to know better or any of the bullshít excuses people come up with, usually when you've been caught doing something you know damn well you shouldn't have been doing! You done it - your fault end of story!

That's absolute bulls**t. Not sure if you're just spitefully making that up or where you're pulling that €14m from, but you could not be further from the truth.

Just used a tool called google which shows a few different sources stating the €14m. I'm not sure why you would claim the €14m couldn't be further from the truth, he signed on a Bosman in 2004...rumored to have got a substantial signing on fee and was on £25,000 a week thereafter.

Either share with the class or withdraw. Poisonous attitude that.

I'm calling bollocks on that - the only "link" is a pathetic click bait article "10 Irish Celebs Whose Net Worth Will Shock You!"

Try Wikipedia - and see who he played for, not exactly hundreds and hundreds of games at the top level.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Miller#Career_Statistics

Definitely calling ****e on that figure.

I'm claiming it because I know the facts of the situation, why the game is being played, why it was so important to ensure as big an attendance as possible and because I'm not making up ****e like he "died with €14m in his estate" because of a 'rumoured' transfer deal made 14 years ago.

Hibernian, Cork City and a bunch of Australian clubs. No way was he even close to being on 25k a week at any of those clubs and that's practically half his career.
