    Lol, I think in the end here we can say the same thing that we can say in almost every thread. People have different opinions.

    I don't think a united Ireland would work

    I think Ireland would be better off as a socialist country

    Life of Brian isn't actually that funny

    Ryanair are cheap and leave on time - what's not to like?

    I think the recession has given a lot of people an excuse to be lazy

    All the matrix movies suck, yes even the first one.

    Being overweight doesn't automatically make you sexy or a real woman. In fact it usually makes you unhealthy and less attractive.

    You're a man of varied opinions!

    I have a few - but three jump out at me....


    1) While pretending to be devestated and upset by it, the public loves a good tragedy as long as it's not something happening their friends/family - and the more tragic it is, the more they love it!! And marks of respect like the minutes silence at sporting events and such are an absolute load of bollocks!


    2) in the broad sense, soccer is fixed!


    3) We shouldn't hugely tax the rich instead of adding new taxes/cuts to the middle/lower classes (and I'm NOT rich by the way).

    We'll just sit back, relax and complain on Boards obviously.

    OK, here's one, and I know I'll get flamed:

    Withnail & I is crap. It's not funny at all, it's actually boring.


    And whoever quotes it below is a knob

    I have never managed to watch it through.

    I think the DART service is really good.

    I'm always really surprised when people get angry about it.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,588 Mod ✭✭✭✭Amirani


    That heavily taxing the rich doesn't work.

    The Western Rail Corridor (Limerick to Galway section), although slow is a much nicer journey than the fecking bus and much of the slowness problem can be improved with better timetables

    While on public transport:
    The Luas red line is a pile of shíte. I'd walk faster into town.

    From some parts of it you might, but no way you're walking from Saggart or Tallaght in to town in less time than the LUAS.

    It's actually an excellent and reliable service.

    I don't think it's popular to say it "automatically" makes a woman sexy.

    Some kids are just going to go grow up thick, ignorant bastards no matter what is done with them.

    I blame the parents. Who no doubt will try to blame me and try to get my hobbies made illegal because they 'corrupt' children.

    Many of these problematic parents like to build up a collective sense of powerlessness over the direction of their children's lives, cause it means they can just sit back behind the telly watching the flavour of the month braindead British TV show and say 'oh well we can do nuffink about it its up to the gubberment to ban whatever is causing our woes'

    Something tells me you're not a knitter... so what are these hobbies you speak of?

    Apparently it is unpopular to believe that in general guys are very easy to get into bed. (I must be living on a different planet to everyone else!)

    Bit different to what you said, which was: an ordinary young guy will have sex with any non hideous female at all if she acts a bit sexy.

    If you mean when there's alcohol in the equation, that might be a bit closer to the truth, but you haven't said anything about alcohol.

    It's easy to get a man into bed if he really fancies you, yeah - seeing as... he really fancies you.

    Yes! Now that you mention it, all the observations I have made to lead me to this conclusion have had alcohol in the equation!
    Is that where the problem lay?

    In what way?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,904 ✭✭✭Chavways


    Hardy Bucks is the most unfunny show I've seen in ages

    Well I don't mind the odd blashteen off the shotgun like. Even pellet guns are great craic but incredibly hard to get here due to 'think of the children' regulation dating as far back as the 60's

    Bigamy: men just need more sex then one woman wants to give. If I can despise and hate 10 men equally, I can love 2 women equally.

    Nuclear Power: get out of the 1980's. LFTR technology is safe, clean powerful and reliable. idiots who criticise nuclear don't even know what Thorium is.

    Chivalry: It's not about opening doors and wearing a suit of armour, it's a real way of life that should be more common. (PS, it's possible too, I've held the laws of chivalry for 3 years now.)

    Same sex marriage is a bad idea. don't even start me on gay couples adopting.

    We all have to learn Chinese. Yeah there's 2,000,000,000 of them, and soon they'll own us.

    Expressive dance is a load of ****. "should I call the doctor, are you having an epileptic fit?"

    Democracy isn't all that. Yeah it's better then some, but it's still ****.

    Strawberries taste like ****, and they go mouldy too quickly.

    Fat people should be taxed and ridiculed and deprived of food.

    Anorexics are ****ed up, but better then being fat.

    Heavily retarded babies should be put down. It's a mercy killing really, do you think they enjoy a life like that.

    A strong, informed, benevolent dictator is better then weak government.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Expressive dance is popular?

    How can a tax be put on fat people? Do they fill out a form with their picture or something? Does everyone get that form?
