    How do you 'associate' on Twitter? :)

    It's called movements. Like #MeToo that people associate themselves with and promote so it gets recognition.

    You want to promote a group of racist. That your decision. Not sure why boards is allowing that? to be it would be against the charter and not something they would want to be associated with.

    What's your issue with them may I ask?

    I pointed out you were/are (continuosly) posting (quite authoritatively) about things that are untrue and you obviously have no clue about what you're posting about.

    I mean I could post on the thread in agreement with you if you like, but then we'd both be wrong.

    Simple as that.

    If you can't work out the issue then that on you, not on me.

    :D:D It's a group of racists now?

    So if somebody went on the #metoo group and said 'women are inferior'...#metoo would be a group of male chauvinists?

    You have no clue about how twitter works, do you?

    What’s a vulture fund Bowie?

    You falsely claimed you knew a short while ago.
    Anyway...
    They are private entities Fine Gael throws tax payer money at that make profits as the housing crisis worsens.
    Instead of building social and affordable housing in any great numbers FG engage in 25 year leases and other private rentals, as discussed, for everyone needing it including those that might be in arrears.

    It is best to keep quiet about things you know nothing about, never mind try and turn it back and imply the other person is the idiot "for not understanding" how things work.

    This is good advice, and, don’t get me wrong here, I am not telling you what to do...

    But, in my honesty opinion, you should read your own advice and try and follow it.

    There have been a few times on these boards where you have not followed your own advice, and we all know how that ended.

    Not really what they are

    Vulture funds, private equity firms and pension funds which buy up distressed loans at heavily discounted prices, have invested heavily in the Irish market since many property owners went bankrupt in the financial crisis of a decade ago.

    So you don’t understand what a vulture fund is....

    The main hit on the Irish market was they swopped in during the recession and bought in huge section of the market from NAMA. Since then banks have also off loaded distressed mortgage to vulture funds. Who will throw out people than the banks can

    Sorry, what would you like to call them?

    If you go around promoting the hashtag that’s a little different. You understand the difference?

    you do understand the term racist and what it means?

    racist
    /ˈreɪsɪst/
    noun
    a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.


    So unless Leo is not Irish (which is not true), or people discriminate against him because of his Indian heritage (which has not happened), it would be totally impossible for anyone here to even be considered racist no matter what they say about him.

    They might say a lot of unflattering things about him, they might call him a liar for instance (which has been proven in Dail record), but none of them would be racist remarks.

    What they are...a collection of differing opinions on the subject of the hashtag.

    It isn't a 'group' in the sense that it acts or contains the thoughts of a homogenous group.

    You just revealed you don't know what you are talking about and keep digging.

    Francie, I didn’t reveal anything apart from my disgust at what those people said.

    You are the one going around promoting it.

    It's a lie. Do you not see that one as well? Concentrate on the 'non Irish person' bit.
    Leo is Irish.

    :confused::confused: So if I mention 'fascists'' in a post does that mean I am promoting Fascism?

    Promoting it would be 'You should all visit #notmytaoiseach and trawl through it to find a post to be outraged by'.

    Leo is NOT a 'non Irish person' He is as Irish as you and me.

    :D:D

    I didn't read many of them, I just thought it relevant to say that two twitter hashtags, critical of FG were trending. Seemingly I am now promoting 'racist groups on Twitter'. :):)

    Interesting that a good long trawl had to be done to find that tweet redgirl is outraging about. :)

    How many will times will you post about an imaginary 16 year old?

    You can’t even use the shift or caps lock key, or to type a comprehendible sentence. Finding a tweet was always going to be a task too far for you.

    The easy thing to do would be to post a link to the tweet, I would have thought. Most users of Twitter do that here.
