There is no world recession.

It is all a hoax that was planned for many years in secret by the world's governments to tell everyone our countries bankrupt just so they could get all the tax money they can.

If you don't believe me just listen to Q102 any night when they are asking people to call in and confess is they are struggling, not one person did so.

And we aren't struggling when you think of it, most people in Ireland have enough money to get by. Most of us have nice warm houses, we are able to afford our groceries etc.

If we were as bad off as we are made out to be most of us would be living on the streets and living in rugged shanty towns, but were not. Can't you people see the difference?

That is because the government ran up a ridiculous deficit and borrowed absurd amounts of money to plug the hole

Ah, kids.. Recession does not mean we all return to the planet of the apes, but more a shrinking of the economy.

I'm guessing you're not one of the hundreds of thousands who lost their job due to this non existent recession.

But then again, i suppose this is a tread of unpopular opinions..........

Agree to a certain extent. The worst thing about this time of the year and the shopping involved etc. is that for eleven months of the year the goal of any good shopper is to hunt for a bargain, but when Christmas comes around you're somewhat frowned upon for basically driving yourself to bankruptcy for getting the best, most expensive gifts! It's double standards like that that has us in trouble!

Hello everyone.

Get ready for a revival of the race and intelligence debate.

I discussed this issue earlier in the thread. Some posters have been coming to my Youtube channel and would like to debate me on the topic. Ofcourse if anyone else wants to chime in feel free to do so.

I was discussing this debate elsewhere on this message board before the thread was closed:

I'm split on this, I think one of two things is happening.

Either there's a "good old war" on the way. All these conflicts and uprisings in foreign places getting bigger and bigger. Doesn't look great. I'm sure there's no CIA or MI6 contribution to the protests in Russia for example. Well, they were being dicks about the gas and stuff. Ongoing "economic crisis", skirmishes everywhere, sounds like a good war is needed.

On the other hand it may just be a smokescreen for us to pay back China without them starting a war. Then again there could be a war to prevent the west from having to pay the Chinese so it could also lead to a war.

Either way, I hope there's no war (:pac: ) but if there is I shan't be fighting in it. As the constant "economic depression" just keeps trundling on and political unrest continues to spread (being drip-fed through the news to us) I am getting more worried about what the next decade or so is going to bring.

I think that's a reasonable concern.

Back in 2009 I had a checkup once by a dentist who I'm acquainted with, and she gave me a clean bill of health.
Out of divilment/ curiosity (the PRSI dental benefit scheme was about to expire) I used my 'PRSI checkup' just to assess the difference. The difference was two fillings.

I still don't have any fillings two years later, and I would consider 2 fillings to be a pretty significant deterioration in my dental health. This has made be fairly skeptical about which dentists I can trust. I would certainly think twice about switching to a new dentist under the Irish system, which seems to be very open to issues of malpractice.

English is a more important academic subject than maths.

Pat Kenny is the most talented man in RTÉ and while his pay should be slashed he deserves to be the highest paid there

Have spent a few years working in hotels
And I'm saying there are few enough ladies in Ireland, yes I typed that

I'd sooner clean ten gents then a ladies

Toiletries on the ground, out come my rubber gloves so, ewwwww
Lipstick on the mirror which is a bitch to get off and polish again :mad:
And all round messiness and junk discarded on the floor.

The gents were pristine in comparison

Ladies of Ireland, it's just not on

I agree.
Yeah sure its nice to know another language. Be nice to know how to solve mathematical equations ( :P ) but whats important in this world? that or street smarts?

Take TV3's Jerome Hughes. College person. Very educated. But in his "homeless" documentary he never heard of a dinner house and spends 9 euro on a breakfast in some cafe.

I hate the phrase 'street smarts'.

All Cork people are annoying, especially Eddie Hobbs. Anyone over the age of 16 who uses text speak should be shot. The Lord of the Rings is a big long boring snorefest. Gay Byrne is a patronising old fart. Sterilisation should be mandatory for dole and benefit scroungers. Soccer is a dull game and the eejits who go around English premier league team jerseys are stupid no brain lemmings who Couldnt point out their beloved team on a map of England. White runners are hideous looking. Friends is not one bit funny.

HalloweenJack · 16-01-2012 07:30PM

I hate this 'all unemployed people are lazy'. I really don't believe that 15% of the country is lazy, especially when it used to be much lower. Where did all these lazy people come from? They lost their ****ing jobs, nothing to do with being lazy, it's to do with the economy being ****ed.

Didn't 650 people lose their jobs at Ulster Bank the other day? If they sign on, do they automatically become lazy? How about they search for non-existent jobs or take up Tesco's kind offer of letting them stack shelves 40-hours a week for 'travel expenses'? It's nothing to do with being lazy, there's a serious shortage of opportunities out there.

Also, I really hate the attitude on here that if you bitch about the country, which is evidently seriously ****ed up, you get told to emigrate. What's wrong with complaining, it's a free country. When someone replies with this, you get the standard of response of 'we don't want people bitching about how crap things are'. Fine, live in denial.

I think jedward are kind of cool.

not every priest in the country is a bad guy.

illegal drugs are that way for a reason and its about time people copped onto that.

people in Ireland should go back to having an irish accent, as opposed to a mid-atlantic, D4 drawl.

did I mention that Jedward are cool

And 9 euro is ok for a full irish breakfast if it's decent.
