HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bet she's useless at that as well.:rolleyes:

Diabhal Beag · 17-05-2009 07:19PM

They did the same at my church. I heard a lot of people telling them to go **** themselves and rightly so

Borneo Fnctn · 17-05-2009 07:20PM

If you believe what they go on about in mass you might as well vote Fianna Fail.

Good point.

People who go to mass are gullible, of little intelligence and will believe in something that has no logic to it.

Perfect Fianna Fail voters.

FFs does she not get enough money a minister:rolleyes:

Diabhal Beag · 17-05-2009 07:32PM

I like the social aspect of mass. I see people I probably wouldn't if I didn't go. Atheists comparing FF to a religion is ****ing thick

Had it myself too. Not exactly a huge deal is it?

phasers · 17-05-2009 08:05PM

Next time stand next to him and say you're doing a collection for a charity, I bet you'd be told to feck off

Government tax people in every way conceivable,

Government misspends income from these taxes,

Government gets country into an ungodly mess,

Government come to the people looking for more cash so they have a better chance of getting re-elected.

What, do you think Fianna Fáil will just drop out of the elections because the goings tough for them? And no, I don't support them.

Also, I was referring to the fact they were campaigning outside Mass in my post.

Am I missing something here?
Are they not already taking every cent we have as it is?

Sharpshooter · 17-05-2009 09:26PM

Someone should have given the shirt off their back, in front of a nicely placed camera.

Local-womanizer · 17-05-2009 09:54PM

I tell them to fcuk off and die then I go in for a nice wee prayer.

There's the guts of an accurate comparison there. A lot people who subscribe to a religion (not nessecarily those who go to mass, I accept) do so out of blind faith, parental brainwashing and, let's face it, a complete lack of desire to use their own brains and think for themselves.

People who subscribe to Fianna Fail tend to do so for pretty much the same reasons.

Yeah but they catch you unaware and just as you are about to drop the last of the coppers into the collection basket in church in swoops there hook to grab it out of mid air.

Bertie was moonlighting as a church collector for decades.

My point is this... I was on a trans-Atlantic flight one time, and as we were 15 minutes or so, from landing, one of the pilots came walking down from the cockpit towards the back of the plane... At first I thought..' jesus man, where the hell are you going... your in charge of the lives of 300 people here, your actions do not instill much confidence'... then I remember thinking, this pilot is probably only second in command... the main guy is up at the helm, and with the aid of the auto pilot and air traffic control, we'll probably be ok.. NOW......

conditions that day were perfect for flying, there was no turbulence, and the weather at the destination was very calm with 100% visability.... had there been heavy turbulence, and the flight had been very shaky, I would have felt more than concerned to see the second flight officer swaning abround the plane as we are coming in to land....

Is this not how we should feel when we hear that the second in command of the country was collecting at a church gate for loose change, during the worst ecconomic turmoil this country has ever witnessed. After collecting maybe €80, she stepped into a chaufeur driven Audi A6, and sped off... please... isnt anyone else astonished at this????

:mad::mad::mad:

the_dark_side · 18-05-2009 12:15PM

fryup · 18-05-2009 12:20PM

phasers · 18-05-2009 12:22PM

Yes. Now can you remove some question marks please?

DrumSteve · 18-05-2009 12:36PM

Brian Cowen was in Enniscorthy on Saturday at the GAA complex with the local election candiates. It seems they are sticking with the same old same old tactics for this election. Church goers and GAA heads will stick with them:rolleyes: It sickens me that they have absoloutely nothing new to offer. Feck this local election. General election now please and lets see what they'll get.

I totally agree with you. I was telling a few people in work about the collection and they didnt seem too bothered about it. I mean WTF. The second in command is begging for money outside a church. Its unreal.

philologos · 18-05-2009 12:47PM

If people want to justify separating church involvement from politics, it's really not a good idea to go collecting or campaigning outside the gates of churches. Likewise if politics is to be separated from the church this should also be the case. Just my opinion on it.

Chuch gate collection for Fianna Fail today....
