    I think the modular homes solution is a sticking plaster that we'll regret in 20 years time. Like the pre-fabs of the 80's we'll be left tending to a lot of crumbling buildings suffering with dampness.

    The Current Affairs forum here. Honestly I think it’s heavily populated by government annd NGO employees whose sole job is to post on online discussion forums pushing their employer’s agenda. You have the same usernames posting several times all day getting embroiled in convoluted arguments and counter arguments. Do these people have nothing better to be doing?

    We already have thousands of crumbling buildings (family homes) suffering with dampness. It's called the defective block crisis in Donegal (and some other counties too).

    The conspiracy theories that abound here about NGO's are absurd. It's saucer people and reverse vampire-level stuff.

    I think people would prefer to believe that people are working for NGOs rather than these same people were so entrenched in ridiculous views that are counterproductive to society as a whole.

    I was thinking similar with regard to one particular thread.

    One very prolific poster seems to have taken a backseat recently at the same time another poster seems to have joined and playing a similar role.

    The new modular homes are much higher standard than pre-fabs from the 80's so they should last a lot longer. Also if they can produce large numbers of them so that the prices can be very low (say €150k or less) then it'll mean that it won't really matter if they only last for 50 or 60 years as you'll just buy one to live out your life in and not worry about it being worthless when your dead and the site can be used to place another new modular home.

    I can see no point in pronouns like she ,them or he ,them is he or her not enough .we are all born male or female .yes people are gay or straight or bisexual .

    Theres plenty of good female comedians like Sarah Silverman or see various SNL female comedians . I read an article Katherine Ryan says young women are getting offered parts on comedy panel shows cos they are young and sexy even if they have little stand up experience. I find most podcasts are better if there's one female guest rather than 3 male hosts . It takes years of practice to be a good comedian most comedians start off playing small clubs for a small fee . The state pension just about allows you to pay for food or small bills A good pension fund will enable you to have a better standard of living and afford some luxurys like going to a concert

    It seems like he just doesn't believe in germ theory. Sorry I tried to put the below videos in a spoiler section. The first one looks at his attitude to the rotavirus vaccine and shows how he just makes stuff up and his rejection of germ theory, and the second has a look at one of his claims that the Spanish flu may have started from vaccine research. Also in the last couple days he has publicly gone chemtrail.

    Are you looking for a cure for left-handedness, too? It's not normal either…

    I think you are being a little dishonest with that comparison.
