What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

Theres nothing to.elaborate on - your post does not challenge or agree with mine.

All of the submissions 'projects' of the RTE Young Scientist Competition have the same resonance with the real world as the " homemade aircraft " for the Red Bull Flug Tag.

I've never seen attractive, confident lads, who were good at getting girls growing up, ever end up with women of SE Asian origin later in life. They are usually the 'unlucky in love' types, and its amazing how they all of a sudden find the love of their life after a trip to that part of the world.

Its the one type of mixed race coupling (Irish man, thai/filipino woman) that raises suspicion with me.

That doesn't help. Can you give an actual context for the video?

Obviously if someone goes on a weekend trip to Manilla and comes back with a wife, it won't be as pure and romantic as meeting someone in the jacks at the local disco.

There's all sorts of ways to interpret these things though. Attractive people generally stay close to home and don't have a great work ethic. The lads who are good at getting girls in school are generally working in the local auto repair shop, public house or co-operative. The girls they used to easily get are working in super valu or hairdressers and they might be still together, or are raising a child together. They look a good bit rougher than they did in school. They don't even know how to spell the fillipeens.

What "suspicion?"

Have you tried minding your own business?

I don't know how we deal with the Roma without breaking some sort of human rights/EU law.

My controversial opinion is that I would be fairly certain that 99.9% of the country see that the Roma offer nothing whatsoever to the country, and are a drain on resources, and shouldn't be here, and if that 99.9% had the power, they'd deport them en masse in the morning.

They have no interest in engaging in Irish society beyond what they can steal or scam, and Irish society should have no interest in hosting them in return.

Blindboy. I'm not going to take a grown man who wears a plastic bag on his head speaking in a stupid put on accent seriously.

Would have been interesting if headed up by anyone else.

Tired "benefits class" cosplay that was briefly amusing 15 years ago.

You posted it twice above, so there was a spare.

People who use the term "snowflake" or related derogatory terms are always, without exception, the most sensitive crybabies I have ever met. The complete opposite of the macho image they desperately want to present.
