    A hundred years from now what do you think will be the things we look back on from this time and consider most shamefull? For example looking into the past were shocked at racism, slavery and treating women like sh!t but at the time these were the norm and to think other wise was weird.

    In a hundred years i think well look back and be shocked at how we experiment on our closest relatives chimps ect in the name of science what about everyone else?

    Personally, I think I'll be dead in 100 years and won't be "looking back" at anything. :D

    How we survived with 3mb download speeds while they'll be streaming at about 100tb.

    The shame!

    Why gay and lesbian couples can't marry in Ireland?

    They'll probably have invented cold nuclear fusion, which creates much more energy than nuclear fission, and leaves only minute radioactive materials behind.

    That, and also internet speeds.

    As regard morals, I think people would have at least agreed that we tried to set things right.

    How a handful of greedy (ba##*ar*s) people managed to drag the country into the financial mire we are in today and that nobody in power did sweet F.A. to stop them before it was too late.
    But then weren't they in on it as well...

    another thing i think that well look back on is the scientific dogma regarding undiscovered animals , i would say well discover at least three animals formerly thought to be myths.

    Lack of non-heterosexual marriage in Ireland

    Clerical abuse

    Environmental abuse

    The STATE of the health service

    The face that less than 100 years ago this country was liberated from a 'government' that was treating the people of Ireland like second class citizens, yet in 2010 people let our government treat us like they do?!?! Very damn glad I'll be old enough to vote next time around.

    The fact people aren't standing up to the crooks (some call them bankers) running the country.

    The lack of the right for women to have the choice to have a termination without going abroad.
