    Everyone knows putting some words in capitals makes you more intelligent and improves your argument.

    Thats why such luminaries as those who write for the sun do it.

    A bit of respect for a man and his family at this time is what is required.

    Anyone who has had to be at the side of a seriously ill and dying relative will know what I mean.

    Leave it out for now.

    Nurses, alright, but what do we need five new soldiers or sailors for? Anyone I know in the Defense Forces is just on the doss the whole time.

    I have/had no time for the man but have a bit of fücking respect. How would like some one speaking in the same manner about your father/brother?

    No matter who gets sick (politician, celebrity) there will always be one lowlife who starts a thread badmouthing that person.

    He has been out of public life for quite a while and is now dying.

    My uncle died of a brain hemorrhage its a very violent way to go.

    I think we can afford to be generous. Whatever your position you are a lot more fortunate than Brian Cowan right now.

    I partially blame him for the crash, but I wouldnt wish any harm or illness upon him. Hope he makes a recovery.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    We don't get along but we can both agree this is too much. OP should be removed

    Mod- I've changed the thread title but it still doesn't seem right. Pm me if you can think of a better title.

    EDIT: Nevermind, done as I posted.

    More offended people. Wouldn't be 2019 without them. Can only have an opinion on someone if they're fit and healthy.

    Why is this thread still open. Even the title is disgraceful. Edit see it's changed now.

    These threads should be closed down straight away. Very obvious what was going to happen.

    Want to know what my opinion of you is?

    I wish him well, the crash was a global one, there were a lot more Irish people behind the crash than Brian Cowen. Don’t get me wrong I know he made mistakes, but the bankers duped him too. The Anglo boys caught on tape seemed like awful bastards though, laughing about their own antics and the I.M.F., etc.

    It takes a certain type of cretin to post stuff like that.

    Anyway, tough times ahead for his missus and kids. I wish them all the best.

    Sadly that is the world we live in today bloody snowflakes. If he were still fit and healthy ( not that he's ever been that way) half the people here in this thread would have no problem criticising him.

    He had his flaws and was arguably promoted beyond his ability but that is the nature of our political system. Few have ever been elected to the the Dail who would ever be considered for a senior management position in a multinational. Yet they are somehow expected to be able to run the country. However I never once felt Cowen wanted anything but the best for this country. When you look at the leaders now both here and abroad that is an increasing rarity. He tried his best but he inherited problems (first in Finance and later in the Taoiseach's office) that would have broken anyone and sadly it seems they broke him.

    I wish him and his family all the best at this difficult time.
