    You haven't given us the agenda there just two paragraphs of nonsense?

    No bank has ever chased me down offering me overdrafts or credit cards.

    I know many teachers and they are not "idiots" and certainly none of them believe that they are the "intellectual guardians of society". I don't understand your example of "we need to tax carbon" where is this taught in schools?

    What house are you speaking about? No rambling paragraphs just one simple answer please.

    The Students Union of Ireland are all tame dogs. They were a force to be reckonded with politically in the 80's and 90's. They supped the sweet water woke money and get 10% of sales on campus by university and tend not to rock the boat. ASk them about housing, college transport, student fees, etc etc….. nah wouldnt get out of bed for that sort of thing. The students union is there not to help students but is a quagmire of woke nonsense, stuff that is intangible and cannot fix instead of real problems.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    Well if you never have been offered a bank overdraft or a credit card, you must be cash based business. The rest of us get loads of marketing material on it.

    You have never heard of "carbon tax" or the need to reduce carbon emissions or the carbon cycle? that is ok too. You clearly never met the religious orders or any new graduates out of college. They are massive on their high horses on moral authority.

    So you dont know who underwrites wars? Y'know how ammunition is expensive and all, well usually you have to get a loan to finance it all. Different wings of the same house write those loans. They are a family so wealthy they have manage to almost erase their legacy from history.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    I'm a person, not a business. Sure there's ads for them but they've never chased me down for them.

    Where did I say I'd never heard of carbon tax? You love not reading people's comments and adjusting them to try and suit your narrative.

    Of course I've heard of it but you say that teacher's are teaching this. Where in the curriculum is this being taught? I have friends who went through college as teachers and no they are not on their high horses, training to be a teacher didn't change their personalities. These are just your biased opinions with no facts.

    I asked for a simple answer not a paragraph and you give a paragraph instead of a name, give us the name and stop waffling.

    IRA Volunteer Seamas Woods was killed in county Tyrone in 1988 whilst attacking a RUC station with a bomb-

    Nothing hurt the brits more when the Provo tonne bombs tore into their citys-

    It could be argued that American troops occupy parts of Britain-

    There are no RAF bases in America- yet there are American armed forces bases in England-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭michael-henry-mcivor


    Well he is out on bail- and our GFA will ensure he will not do any long stretch no matter how many RUC were blew into the clouds-



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 43,817 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    Are you trying to suggest the name Woods is a "protestant name"? If so, I'd advise you to check the religious background of former Dublin TD Michael Woods.

    Can you not show a little bit of tact or diplomacy when referring to people murdered by terrorists?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭michael-henry-mcivor


    Nope- I was replying to someone who implied the name Woods was Protestant like-

    The Provos were fighting for Irish freedom- The RUC were involved in a number of shoot to kill murders so they were took out-

    The RUC / special branch no longer exist because freedom beat them-

    Having different cultures isn't a good enough reason to be divided. The UK has many different cultures within it yet you are ok with that existing? I bet you have no problem with other cultures within your republic from around the world so I find that comment hypocritical. If you said that about any other people you would be called xenophobic.

    "

    The cycling of matter, with carbon and water cycles as well-known examples, provides a rich setting for students to develop an understanding of many physical and chemical processes including energy conservation and energy resources, weather and climate, and the idea of cycling itself. They will come to appreciate the impact of human activity on Earth and explore the role and implications of human space exploration.

    " https://curriculumonline.ie/getmedia/f668d804-6283-4d4a-84ab-c71e5b37d198/Specification-for-Junior-Cycle-Science.pdf

    Dont take my word for it its in the curriculum, straight from the horses mouth.

    I would say the carbon cycle is a fairly advanced thing to be trying to be teaching. When I hear about it from my neighbours children, they say they talk about carbon neutral and eliminating carbon. So it is being taught wrong or it is being taught so badly the children think they are making carbon apparently.

    If you arent smart enough to work out the name for yourself I am not going to help you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 721 ✭✭✭BaywatchHQ


    Yes I have always noticed how southern people often mention "both sides", it is like they want to appear neutral. This is rarely the case with British people, they usually would take the unionists side in discussions and aren't afraid of offending nationalists. British people are never afraid to offend the Irish, it is different the other away around.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,908 ✭✭✭An Claidheamh


    Absolutely, middle Ireland have an inferiority complex.

    Remember the whole point of the Belfast Agreement was that the Irish government would be guarantor of Nationalists rights, British Unionist but both support equality.

    (To some extent FF under Reynolds and Ahern did this. Martin is a unionist).

    This is not the case, watch any British politics show and yearn for the days of the orange state have a ‘stab in the back’/persecution complex about the provos.

    Irish media/establishment essentially censor even perceived criticism of loyalism and support it against SF.

    FG for instance have never condemned British or loyalist atrocities in their history, Fitzgerald was a puppet for the British, Bruton an open unionist (including supporting violent unionism) and Enda Kenny was just a simpleton (who pretended to know and care about Jean McConville when it suited him).

    Having read the last 20 pages, I am assured the reason that a united Ireland remains elusive is because of attitudes like yours.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭michael-henry-mcivor


    My attitude has already seen off the 1920 government of Ireland act- act(s of Union-

    We won- U don't even know that- ( stay dumb-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭paul71


    I am assuming that English is your second language, given the incomprehensible nature of the gibberish you are coming out with.

    Mas fearr leat, taim liofa as Ghaeilge. Is feidir leat do chuid freagrai a scriobh mar sin.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    Again you've changed what I've said to suit your own points. You're being extremely disingenuous here.

    You specifically said that teachers are teaching that we need carbon taxes, where is this taught? Teaching people about carbon and greenhouse gases is completely different from the claim you've made.

    If you arent smart enough to work out the name for yourself I am not going to help you.

    Usual conspiracy theory trope, I know, everyone else is an idiot if they don't but I won't say what I know.

    If you've no straight answers to give we're done here. Not going to debate someone who won't do it in good faith



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    Congratulations ……. You think you will win but at what cost? You will have NATO Bases instead of British Bases, You will have removed British troops to replace them with the EU army.

    You will have gotten the British establishment out to deal with the EU. The civil service class will always be there, they are in every country, that will not change. You will have the same type of people running the country on a day to day basis. Northern Ireland is too small a country to survive on its own, its not the Vatican city, Monaco or Lichtenstein. It doesnt have the wealth or the people like those countries. This deal with a United Ireland that is coming fairly shortly is not the Utopia you think it is going to be. Its going be "Whats the new boss like? Same as the old boss" only with €3Bn change over cost and those Naval bases and foreign troops.

    Instead of having British tyrants you will have unseen European Tyrants.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    That is what I was waiting for, the word "conspiracy theorist", if it wasnt on RTE, then it is not true. You can take your ball and go home. The rest of the world is slowly waking up to digital currency (where each unit of currency is tracked with block chain) and 15 minute cities.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    You've changed what I've said multiple times as it didn't suit what you were arguing against. You have zero evidence to back up your theories.

    You have been asked simple questions multiple times and refuse to give answers to them.

    Now you've brought RTÉ, blockchain and 15 min cities into it which has nothing to do with anything we've been discussing, why?

    Simple question who is the house that is controlling it all? If you know just answer.

    'We' are the EU.

    The scaremongers try to pretend the 'EU' is some overarching colonial master - it isn't.
    The British however were a colonial master when here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭michael-henry-mcivor


    U are not English- and I am not- so why are U so worried about the foreign English language-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭michael-henry-mcivor


    The brit b1tch was beat- get over it-

    German Nato base in Britain-

    American bases in England-

    They have been beaten already according to U-

    Say it and be proud-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    I had a similar debate with someone at university years ago, he said the same house had died out years ago and is no longer a force of influence. I could give you the answer, but then you would just say "Conspiracy Theory". You are waiting for me to come out with Freemasons (Grand Lodge/Grand Orient), Vatican bank, Templar Knights, Knights of Malta, Opus Dei, Trilateral Commission, Rockefeller, JP Morgan, WEF, UN, EU, IMF, Muslims, State of Israel, CCCP communist party, descendants of Quark, descendants of Charlemagne, the Hapsburgs, British Royal family, Illuminati or something to that effect.

    This house is so powerful they seem to have written themselves out of almost every history book. Every time I look for their name in pivotal moments in history they are not mentioned. I would accept it if they appeared once or twice but no they never seem to appear. Even this conflict above nobody ever wonders where the financial backers are. If you were just buying ammunition for your own fire arm at home you would be careful with ammunition. Makes you wonder why ammunition is so expensive is nitrogen is so cheap, I wonder who has the controlling interest in sulphur mines?

    That is like saying that the population of the USSR was the Politburo back in the day. All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    I would if we weren't exchanging one tyrant for a more capable one with greater ways to restrict us, tax us and send us for more foreign wars that cannot be won.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    Still wont put in the effort to work it out why. At some stage a parent tutor has to teach a child to learn by itself. This is your opportunity. I have told you who it is not. What name is missing there. You can do it if you really want to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    So now you're just being going to be patronising?

    I'm asking you for the name that you claim to know, if you know it share and allow people research for themselves.

    If you can't or won't give it, you're just proving that you're spouting nonsense.

    One is an imposed/invading power the other is being a member by the ongoing democratic choice of the people

    You have retreated to nonsense. You have clearly shown you have had a one-sided selective education out of books and sources of dubious motivation.
