    I think that is more to do with everyone knowing Fianna Fail are going to go the way of PDs in about 2 years and not a moment too soon in my opinion so I dont think students would want to waste anytime backing the wrong horse.

    Thanks for the post thought. Made me smile.I dont think you are a troll you do sound like alot of next gen Fianna Failers I know. You should make your way over to the sexy new Fianna Gael gang. They probably have a few hundred students in the meeting room you 6 were just not invited to.

    Fianna Gael ... the sexiest arses in politics.

    They won't go out of existance in two years, maybe 10-15 at best. There are still a lot of people in this country who will instinctively vote for one party or another no matter what they do.

    no i'm merely using students as an illustrative example of the constant negativity being talked by the general public. We've been through bad days before and we'll all come out of it together if we just put the hands to the pump.

    Jesus...

    "Hands to the pump"

    "NAMA is the only game in town"

    When you join Fianna Fail, do they make you learn the clichés off by heart?

    You are right the people are to blame for all of this. Not the Government. IF people were not so lazy than this poor Govt might have a chance of getting through.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭BongoJuice


    and smart enough not to follow the line of the mayo peasant that is leading his party. NAMA is the only game in town and people need to cop on, shut up and get working.
    Lol @ Mayo peasant. However everything else you've said in this thread is complete bollox.

    I do not even know where to start with the Fianna Fail student. Lets hope for all our sakes that this person never, ever gets into a position of any sort of power. Also please spare me the cliche Fianna Fail bull****.

    Fianna Fail have always been and will always be the party of government.

    What does that mean ?
    People can complain all they want right now but I guarantee when they are in the voting booth on GE day they will put the #1 tick for a FF candidate

    Not a hope in hell.

    because they'll know they are the only ones that'll sort out any issues they have.

    No - they'll promise to and then renege on it. Are you too young to remember their "zero tolerance" promises ?

    That was an issue that I wanted to see sorted, but I still didn't vote for them because I knew that it was an empty promise.
    Who else could be trusting?

    The question isn't who "else"....the question is "who"....and see above for an answer. Ahern - trustworthy ? O'Donoghue ? O'Dea ? Cooper-Flynn ?

    Humour forum is thataway =>
    the commies in labour? probably take our farms if they got near government the socialists!

    Wasn't Bertie one of those ? :rolleyes:

    at least i'm interested and involved in politics. may i ask are you a member of a party or do any sort of work on the ground? when i'm home at weekends from college I help out the local Councillor sort out issues for people.

    It means the irish people have consistently voted us the largest party and put us in government since the foundation of the state because they know we get the job done. Ye can moan about nama, anglo all ye want - at the end of the days politics is local and people will vote for the party that sorted them out on the local issue and we're good for that.

    Yeah just like the last bye election. BAM. Im sure when you have graduated from college and have to live in the real world you might sing from a different hymn sheet. Also to answer your question, no I do not assist my local councillor as I am to busy trying to make a living and survive in this **** hole country thanks to you shower of **** so unlike a student I do not have the time to be pissing away on propogating lies, half truths and self gratifying denial.

    Now I have answered a question can you answer me why you are so supportive of the government with the lowest approval rating in the history of the state.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭c_o_ck p_i_ss chillage


    I really don't see what the problem is. If we want to pull anglo out of this mess we need to have the best people there. If you pay peanuts you get monkeys...... and so on but i'm sure you understand.

    Has to be a troll, surely?

    Once i graduate i'm going working straight away.

    God love you, you have not got a clue mate. PML When you leave college and your signing on for unemployment benefit you can thank your Fianna Fail buddies and their banker mates. Ahh the innocence of youth...or is that a fancy way of saying the "stupidity" of youth!

    that particular constituency is full of self-important wannabe-intellectuals who could not see seamus brennan was clearly the best candidate. His ol lad was one of the best deputys this country has ever seen sure - a shame the seat went to a chancer like Lee :(

    But they'll get the chance to put in brennan next time and hopefully they cop on cos he is clearly the best candidate.

    job lined up back home in the ol fellas company after i graduate. don't be so presumptuous. Probably do it for a couple years but I wouldnt mind working for a TD up in dublin for a while to get a bit of practical political experience ya know.

    So your saying you didnt really want it anyway. Lol ok. Typical fianna fail answer to a serious question where you said its about local issues and the local people always vote FF and then when your given and example of when they dont you call all the constituents "self important wannabe intellectuals".

    Im going to bed. Your posts make me want to bang my head off a wall. You are what is wrong with the country and your twisted mentality. Also I wonder which FF TD Daddy is?

    well i have to admit i initially joined FF cos my dad and uncle are both involved. However if you look at it objectively they are doing the best job possible. Ireland is a small country that got hit bad by the global downturn. No other government could don e any better. When the water is coming in the boat ya need to grab the buckets lads! no point bitching and moaning - Irelands a great country - we can get out of this!

    Dublin South is just a weird constituency in general. Its why george lee ran there. They dont seem overly concerned about having hard working td's - they like their poster boys. It's a bit a relationship with a hot blonde - nice for a while but at the end of day if she doesnt do the dishes ya wont be marrying her. good brunette country woman is what ya need.

    my dad is not a TD by the way! he just a ordinary party member

    Funny that you ignored the rest of the post......

    You are supposed to be running the country, not the county.

    And most people have copped on to the lies, bull**** and self-serving at this stage.

    I'd ask for danger money when you go around with your beloved "local FF candidate" next time around........people scraping by because your lot have ridden the country and ourselves to pay off your mates and give jobs to incompetent buddies are NOT going to be fooled as easily again.


    And thanks for the insult re hardworking people; I've been breaking my bollix for the past year and have had to take pay cuts and even a few months without pay in order to keep going; but no - your daddy (probably another FF'er) will look after you, so you're OK and you'll insult anyone else's work ethic and give them the two fingers.

    Based on that out-of-touch deluded insult, I have only one thing more to say to you : where's the "ignore button" gone ?

    I havent tried to insult anyone :confused: i'm simply pointing out facts. The recession is tough on everyone mate and i'm sorry to hear about your cuts. But that's life in general - ups and downs. That's the capitalist system we've signed up to and for all it's fault its the best system. when the boom times come again soon ya'll be like a pig in muck ;)

    Not Anglo workers, not TDs, not bankers, not former financial unregulators, not former Taoisigh, not anyone appointed by, or friends with, FF.
    and i'm sorry to hear about your cuts.
    Thanks. But it definitely didn't seem like it when you suggested everyone should get off their asses, and the fact that you were "willing to work" would mean you immediately had a job (implying that anyone who isn't working is simply unwilling and lazy).

    Plus calling the general public "retards" elsewhere would imply that this is less than sincere.

    Not everyone's daddy has a position for them to fall out of college into.
    That's the capitalist system we've signed up to and for all it's fault its the best system.

    The capitalist system means that dodgy businesses fail; banks & developers included. FF have created a mutant version.
    when the boom times come again soon ya'll be like a pig in muck ;)

    We don't want "boom times". They're destructive, short-sighted and unsustainable.

    We want to be able to earn a living, survive, have self-respect at having a job, have a few luxuries now and then, and not get shafted by FF doing a reverse Robin Hood.

    Too much to ask when FF are involved, though.
