Problem is that the more farming becomes intensive/industrial and stresses soil, water and the general environment, the more vulnerable it is to severe climate events from whatever source - same system is leading to mass and unsustainable food waste as reported widely today
Notable that this issue alone is responsible for multiple emissions more than aviation and a key driver of habitat destruction around the world
Absolutely farmers are there own worst enemy greed and jealousy are two very powerful things
I had 80 acres wheat destroyed in 1985 but I thank God these mornings that I've little to do with farming.
I've had phonecalls lately about one of my tenants from people wanting to rent my land, bad news travels very quick, land is worth a lot of money now. 450 for middling land now
He hasn't missed a payment yet so I wont be throwing him out , Farmers are as bad as any Larry Goodman, like vultures hovering
Indeed you are great thanks for providing me with the best example possible talk down to those who you Don't agree with ........you haven't even read my posts digested them and realised I've not said one thing that's untrue tell me what exactly the general public Is doing to combat climate change what real and tangible hardship are they are willing to undertake....... . I can answer it for you already by the way apart From enforced taxation thery are not and will not do diddly squat about it
I wouldn't consider it being overblown, diff in opinion tho, I'd be science based & i find it hard to get away from hard facts then
I agree with you that there is only ever one side shown or else a topic is not debated or referred to at all.
Now that is proper untreated physiological scaring. 🤣🤣🤣.I totally agree with you I cannot even drive past a few of the places we lost ou without thinking back.
It's both or none or whatever suits . But in all fairness I'm not telling anything untrue I'm also not trying to be uncaring or anything. The problem with all these discussions and programs is the complete polarisation of the debate to the point where there's no debate only a row or one point being shoved down another's throat. There's huge issues in the world but the rte program is a hatchet job. Also the very people writing there hands are going to personally do diddly squat about it.
My young lad won 4 County finals last year. 2 with the cumann na bunscol in school and 2 with the club. He couldn't believe it when I told him to enjoy them as I'd played or been on the panel in 5 county finals across age groups etc and never won one.... I missed a goal in our cumann na bunscol final 25 yrs ago and I still have flashbacks 🤣. Can't stand going to the pitch it was held in even still 🤣🤣🤣
Is that you Donald or is it Danny? 😄
86 I'm sure, the silage fields were blackened
Rinse and repeat your probably the oldest person on this site you would have to admit it's largely overblown there's been famine and disear since the dawn of time there's climate change ......but there's always been climate change. In either 85 or 86 there was no crop of silage cut or any bit of fodder saved before the first week of july ........I remember it making old looking men of the farmers with worry and stress
You throw around woke and snowflake and then post stuff like this. Pick one.
Yea, shocking poverty, and famine
Ya totally by God I lost my fair share several finals an only won one 🙃
It's a tough watch esp Malawi
By 2070 one fifth if the planet to be uninhabitable...yikes
Yes agree what your saying the go games is a great thing for young fella’s and girls and encourages inclusion for all, our club has grown in the last 5 years because of this and started a ladies teams at under 12 down in age which has been a huge success, also the clubs have started a mothers and others which is all about fun, and the end of the season the club has a barbecue for all the teams up to under 14. They also have encouraged teenagers to be come refs for go games. The other big thing is parents are encouraged to attend games with a set of guidelines on behaviour and no abuse etc allowed. The club has a younger people running it away from the old stuck in the mud Gael afraid of change.
I wouldn't like to be 25yrs of age and watching Rising Tides on RTE tonight. Horrifying predictions there with the weather at the moment confirming the story
In NZ it’s down to weight in underage rugby
U7’s/8’s is a Saturday morning trying to learn skills and having fun games. U9/10 is the introduction of go games, 4 off 10 mins where you try to give every player as much game time as possible, if numbers are there split into more games. U11/12 is same. U13/14 is the start of competition. I don’t agree with upgrading or eliminations if there’s enough players of the correct age to field a team.
Yeah thats a complete non runner whelan, bench warming & looking at a fella 2 years younger than you drafted in
There is alot of merit to the way NZ work their underage rugby system, up to a certain age its grouped on ability largely iirc
Is it not time to discipline GAA before there's real damage done, I'd say this sissy fighting on the pitch is a real example of snowflakes, or beating the ref outside the gates.
snowflakes
noun. informal, derogatory. the generation of people who became adults in or after the 2010s, viewed as being less resilient and more prone to taking offence than previous generations. Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers.
Or
"Snowflake" is a derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly emotional, easily offended. Wikipedia
The gym work and being moved up ages too quickly and not being played seem to be more gaelic stuff. What used to really annoy me was bringing a panel of 30 lads to a championship game and knowing 10 of them wouldn't get game time, no need for it. Lads two age groups down getting played and lads who are the age benched
All teams bar one loses. So it's a thing kids have to get used to and deal with. No harm in hating it happen, good for motivation.
It's a balancing act, same as the level of homework at primary level when my youngest started I was shocked at the amount of homework for senior Infants
Like the sports at u7 & u9 what happened to kids left being kids, far better social development benefits at that age v over focusing on winning.
We had a good few handy minors here the last few years, called into county squads etc, they've drifted off & barely play senior club now
The common demoninator is they were all the best in their underage group & pushed up a grades too early, over played & trained, sick of it by 18 then
I'm all for finding a way to be better & take the lessons of loosing, god knows they'll all have enough disappointments in life as that's part of the make up of life but u12 up is plenty of time to be driving them on....let them fall in love with the game first
I think it starts too early for kids it's too serious and there's way too much training and gym work involved. But I do remember being really competitive at under12 . Now I wasn't the best by a long shot but I remember i detested loosing a match. But I still remember telling our under 14 manager that the two lads on the bench had to play as well orvwed have no lads on the bench.
The problem is though you've kids who play all the time, can solo etc. Then you've others who dont kick a ball from one week to the next. These are all expected to play as one team and be fair. One of the kids here had no interest in football until he was 9, so skipped all the academy stuff other kids did and he got on the best. He was more interested in collecting stones and pinecones.
Snowflake and woke are terms created by American right wing loonies. Simply terms of abuse for those whom they disagree with. Sport at under age level is mainly about inclusion. If winning the U12 county is the peak of ambition for a coach, then they have missed the point.
I don't understand your comment but that's how they earned the snowflake generation name. Sulk instead of trying harder
Have you been on the cans ........
Teams wouldn't be much good if the lazy players were allowed play a match....... even the good players would give up in frustration.
