    The Indo destroyed their site when they stopped comments from users.DOB got upset about negative comments regarding his activities (from Irish people in the know) and just pulled the comment section on spurious reasons of "possible litigation".What are Mods for.Can a wrong comment just be deleted?The Indo is totally biased (save one or two Journalists,who don't fear DOB).Any site must allow reaction from readers to their articles be legitimate .Otherwise we are only getting one side of the argument.This is Ireland not Putins Russia.Is it any wonder the Indo is struggling.Are they afraid of the truth?

    Did Russia today delete their comments section too?

    Dublin Live. How else would I find out about the Cork man that “nearly died” when he seen the price of a scone in Bewley’s in Dublin?

    Mainly from Boards.

    I haven't left the house for a while. I hear there's transgendered muslim fundamentalist triggered feminist vegan travellers everywhere - and they want to take it all away from me.


    Well they won't take your Angus meat steak away from you. Just thinking of a spiced steak there, but the gods above had plans for me, so I can never eat red meat again. As for the 'transgenders' are they the shape-shifter aliens I heard about on crazynews.com ?. They can magically turn into a woman or a man in seconds, sounds impressive I have to say, what a strange gift.


    As for the Muslims... Once you smile at them with a genuine smile, they seem happy. Just do not smirk or it's chop-chop.



    For Vegans, I don't know what to say about them really, except this one word 'Unrealistic'. They don't understand the egg. The egg has more nutritional value to not only bodily well-being, but all the essential nutrients to keep your body and hair in great shape.


    As for 'Travelers', no comment. Well maybe one.... travelers come in two parts. Part one side of a 50 euro bill is a good genuine traveler, but the dark part of the other side of that €50 bill is the criminal traveler. Watch what side of the bill you are giving to a traveler, as it can be the difference between night and day. They're usually a good decent bunch of lads, their women are usually very polite and down to earth.

    Individual people have different thoughts and understanding in regard to others opinions, but the problem is this... there are some people out there that will do everything in their power to cut you off when they do not like your opinion even when it is truth.

    Worldnews on Reddit is quite good for a non US specific aggregation news site. And you don't have to read the comments section, just click straight to the web article, which is a huge bonus for me.



    There's some very interesting stories out there atm from all walks of life.

    Twitter or here. All the mainstream seem to have be bought by the government. The churnal use to be good but now its biased and controlling the narrative with healthy conversation is does not like by deleting comments.

    Euronews

    Used to love Euronews but not so much in recent times since they introduced "the cube" and rolling elements and using NBC and twitter as a primary source for that. Seems they have gone from being what they were to being us aswell. Guess they had to move with the times and be hip or something ?
