    Also too much drinking in each of them and you will notice that not one of them ever have a drink problem.

    I also think to combat the underage drinking culture it should be like the US 21 years of age before you are allowed to drink.

    Hiding away alcohol and having strict laws and making it forbidden will only make youngsters want it more ;)

    Sure in France the young uns get wine with their evening meal and they don't have the issues we do

    Raising the drinking age will increase the amount of underage drinkers.

    Steve Jobs is held up as some incredible person

    I've read the Walter Isaacson book and my impression was he was a hysterical asshole and tyrant and would switch from bullying to bursting into tears to get his way. And abandoned his own daughter

    Everything I hate in a person and manager

    Managers need to be strong but you can be a leader and passionate without this


    Here here. Seems to have been an awful wanker, most of the tributes from those who knew him were more to do with his aptitude for success and zero in the way of actually being a good guy. Sure even Hitler was an undeniably good economist to an extent.

    Steve Jobs wasn't really comparable to Hitler.

    In fairness I think that's a fairly popular opinion.

    Although I am led to believe they both attended Cupertina Junior High, Cupertina, California.

    Georgia Salpa is photogenic, but her mouth is too small, her chin tapers away to nothing, and her D4 accent makes me want to vomit.

    georgia salpa is better looking in real life and has a great personality

    I like the south dublin accent. They speak the most clearly out of anyone in the country.

    Israel have defiled the memories of those lost in the holocaust by using it as an excuse for their "over protective" policies in the Middle East.

    Hardly an unpopular opinion to be fair. Quite the opposite.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    In that part of the world there is no such thing as "over protective" as we may see shortly .The distances are very short indeed .Israel is very vulnerable to missiles within striking distances .

    U2's 'Achtung Baby' album was actually pretty good-it defined both their career and the era it was released in. If they'd gone their separate ways after the Zoo TV/Zooropa tour then they would've left a great legacy in music.

    People who go missing are most likely dead. A lot of families delude themselves hoping otherwise.

    While their disastrous, suicidal and idiotic decision to go into government with FF meant the greens certainty deserved to be punished harshly by the electorate their complete wipeout in the last general election was rather unfortunate.

    Yeah I know, I Just don't understand it. Most people know these people are likely gone yet you can't say it out loud.

    I agree

    And a lot of that is diet. Why do you send your child to school with a lunchbox of biscuits, sweets and sugary fizzy drinks and then wonder when they start acting up?

    And instead of addressing that you take them to the doctor, they get labelled and then possibly even get drugs

    Yet the biggest drug around is food

    i believe there is a need for vigilantes to sort out local small criminals such as burglars that the gardai do not seem interested in sorting out.

    Sugary foods don't make kids hyper.

    not really,a lot of people plan on disappearing for one reason or another. I had a great aunt went missing in the 70's, just disappeared one day leaving no trace behind, took nothing just gone. Some suspected she had left for England with a married man and to this day that appears to be the only conclusion. I often thought about doing it myself, just disappearing and starting a new life somewhere else where no one knows you or anything about you.

    I'm sorry but the woman disappeared without a trace and everyone just assumed she had run off to England?
    Nobodies heard for her since the 70's?

    This proves my point.
