So now that the GP have been given a chance to show Ireland what they can do. The question is .. Are we happy with what we have seen so far. Or did FF & FG give voters a chance to see just what a GP government might look like. Because from what I have seen from GP so far,, A GP with even more power would be a SH!t show. A few months in, is anyone happy with the carry on of GP ? Will the next GE wipe them out ?

All the local authorities went full steam into the anti car vendetta once they got in but thanks to covid there is no traffic so the full extent of the sh1tsandwich they have made has yet to be revealed. Plus thanks to the focus on covid their looney agenda has been put on the backburner

Your posts are opinions, usually twisted to suit your narrative, with no basis in fact. Then usually you throw shameful in at the end because your made up story might be about something shameful. None of the posters whose identity you’re implying in your post have shown any homophobia. You’ve shown either outright homophobia, or appalling taste, by using that username.

You are spouting some cranky curmudgeon bile spew here. I'm trying to talk FG in a FG thread and folk are using a man's sexuality to turn the discussion, shameful and in this case homophobic. No need. Stick to the FG chat and stop using a gay man's sexuality to save your blushes. Stop using murder victims. In short have some respect for people.
blanch152 wrote: » The problem around here is that there are too many posts containing opinions based on lies and mistruths. The posters then take offence when you merely correct the facts, rather than address the misguided opinions. The first objective should always be to get the facts right. An opinion based on something other than facts is akin to a conspiracy theory.

Get used to it. Maybe if FG made an effort to actually display why their such smart and clever boys and girls instead of just telling people how great they are and slagging poltical opponents off at every turn they might turn a corner.

I don’t think even the most deluded CA regular is under the impression it’s a place for facts, level-headed debate, and conceding a point when presented with forensic levels of detail. It’s a forum used as a sort of flytrap for gathering pests that would otherwise spoil the wider site experience for normal posters. You’d get an odd lad like Blanch and me who raise the tone of the place a few notches, but there isn’t much we can do really.
Bowie wrote: » Says the man keeping count on peoples posts and constantly misrepresenting comments. You bring this up a lot and seldom follow through and when you try it's embarrassing for you. You need to understand that opinions you disagree with are not necessarily 'wrong' or not based on facts. Like your one that any rando twitter comment you don't like is from SF HQ and SF party policy...with zero proof? We'd a discussion on the LC results ended up about Dessie Ellis ffs, so give over.

blanch152 wrote: » I don't keep count on peoples posts. There is a facility in the front page of each forum where, by clicking on the number of posts in a thread, you get a breakdown of the number of posts by each poster. Two clicks from here and I can tell you who is the top poster in the thread and how many posts. (It is yourself with 160 of the 1,281 posts, with Francie in second (142), Smurgen (123) in third, followed by McMurphy (110) that is how easy it is). It is very useful for checking the facts when you get accusations of Poster A taking over the thread or all the fans of Political Party B ruining the thread.

blanch152 wrote: » No, Francie, it is called checking the facts. When I see and read posters moaning about FG bots taking over threads and making them about Sinn Fein, the easiest thing to do is to check the facts to see who is posting the most on the thread. Very rarely do I find that it is the person accused of ruining the thread.
blanch152 wrote: » Funniest post of the day. The Number 1 contributor to the thread finds it boring!!!! You couldn't make it up. He even beat Francie to No.1 spot, yet he finds it boring. I don't even think there are enough letters to describe how much laughing I am doing.
