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

It almost certainly would be which is why if Israel had even the slightest bit of cop on and weren't such scumbags as a country they'd simply let the Palestinians have their own state completely wall it off from Israel and have zero connection with them (no trade, no travel etc) and let them ruin their own lives rather than doing it to them. However the Israelis appear to get a strange sense of enjoyment out of them personally making the Palestinians lives miserable.

Great idea. Surprised nobody has thought of it before.

I wanted Kairat to go through, it's a great story and the novelty of having a team so far away in europe is great.

The SPL is a complete embarrassment of a competition, only 2 teams have won it for 40 years, only 2 teams even make an attempt at winning it and of the 2 only Celtic are actually even run with the mildest degree of competence.

also it's a perfect competition to try a kind of salary cap and profit sharing arrangement and try and make it competitive in as the 2 big clubs are never going to win the Champions League (unlike Bayern or PSG) so what good is being so dominant domestically when that's all you'll achieve, just seems like it exist in order to perpetuate a tedious rivalry between Celtic and Rangers.

It's amazing that it still gets pretty good attendances considering how dull a competition it is.

The people have been fúcked around with and traumatised for so long it could never be anything like a functional democratic state.

That surrounding Arab countries are loathe to admit Palestinians tells its own story.

The mutual hate has been baked-in, for both sides it's eliminate or be eliminated at this stage.

Despite all the money Celtic trow at it Rangers have made more of an impact than them in Europe.

I'm be in somewhat agreement with the Celtic stuff.

Probably controversial but I always think it's an awful pity they didn't merge the SPL and the EPL during the early 00s. It was mooted for a while but nothing come to pass.

As shite as it is now there was a period where CEL/RANGERS geniunely had top class teams.

In my opinion the Schools hot meals scheme is a waste of money. It costs about €288 million per annum to run now. That money could be put to much better use. A significant amount of that money is being dumped in the bin every school day.

I'd much prefer that money being used to invest in school infrastructure (imagine how many schools could have their own top quality kitchens) or into schemes focused on the small minority of children living in poverty with drug with drug addict parents.

And unfortunately the groups that get to represent the Palestinian people have no problem poking Israel with a stick expecting a horrible response. It’s almost as if they don’t have the people as their top priority.

This has worked wonders on young people because they haven't had to earn money for themselves

Yes because young people don't work and earn money.

Right wing - simply means I keep what I earn.

This is beyond simplistic, you wouldn't even find this in a right wing for Dummies book.

In terms of the whole "left wing/right wing" thing.

I'd love to actively become involved in some protests but there is no room for middle ground in Irish protest. Like the French where everyone can get behind a grievance.

When voting I'd often measure myself on what side do I want to be on. Everyone one of these "left wing/right wing" types I know are more often than not complete bellends that I have little to no interest in standing with.

Yep, we've become polarized into believing you can only.be one or the other. Nuance is not tolerated by the new "left wing".

You say you're all for high social spending and the taxes that come with it, but if you don't comply to the dogma that men can be women, they'll call you far right.

The protests weren't just about mass immigration. It was mostly about housing. Plenty of that has been bought up by the govt. itself.

I never posted about the hard workers at the protests because that's not something that's controversial, I specifically posted about the women at them that were only there because they wanted the freebies the foreigners were now getting.

And whenever men criticize women that's always controversial because women will always side with each other and most men are simps.
