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

Why not tell us what's so relevant and worthy about your own holidays?

The Darwin awards are meant to be a tongue in cheek, bit of poking fun at people who have died as a result of their own stupidity.

Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner

Six young people on a backpacking holiday, who unbeknownst to them are given alcohol containing methanol poison and they die as a result. Do you really believe that it's their own fault? I don't see how they're contenders for the Darwin award. Unless you're suggesting that anyone who drinks alcohol while on holiday deserves to die. It's sounds to me more like a case which should be investigated as mass manslaughter.

Why do people respond to obvious trolls?

Why should I? I was commenting on why people choose certain places for backpacking. If you disagree you can tell me why.

You're judging others' holiday choices, but squirm away when asked about your own holiday. Probably supping cheap pints in a faux Irish bar in Spain.

….

Stop embarrassing yourself.

You think everyone on a message board has to verify their own situation when giving an opinion? You've got nothing to say so bore off.

I can’t get over the amount of absolute gobshites I see cycling in the dark with no lights, no reflective gear and all dressed in black. It’s not just youngsters either, I’ve seen plenty of middle aged people doing it who should know better.

II prefer Psyclepaths

And the "it's all motorists fault" when one of the near invisible Men In Black ninjas gets knocked down.

I wouldn't go down the route of paying the lazy gits, but there has to be a way of compelling more people to get out and vote during an election. And for these naysayers not to be complaining then afterwards, that the people who actually did bother to vote, somehow voted in the wrong government.

We're stuck in this groundhog day type of time warp, with what is shaping up as if its gonna be pretty much the same old, same old bunch back in power all over again.

Nothings gonna change. It will only change for the benefit of everyone, when these fainéants exercise their duty as Irish citizens, and are encouraged to go down to the ballot box and cast their own votes.

Poor politicians are elected by good people who don't turn up to vote.

That's the point but of course they won't address that.

It's like people who have been away for 10 years or more and come back and just think everything should just be here for them insurance etc

Something you see on a regular enough basis here: a poster ordering the mods to close down a thread. That should be an automatic thread-ban for that poster imo.

I'm relieved we dont have to suffer RTE and the insufferable "outbelieve" ads now....although im sure we will still get all these poxy woke ads in the lead up to this competition...

It was the "outbelieve" ad. It's all we could do, because we certainly weren't going to outplay then on the pitch!
