Never voted for those scum. It's just the truth. Everyone got greedy. Everyone demanded more and more free stuff from the govt. Everyone demanded more cheapr credit. Everyone demanded a house, car, etc. Somewhere along the chain, everyone was demanding, and it all led to where we are now. To suggest otherwise, is to live in denial.

No,

Its also an utterly moronic opinion to hold because not only is it demonstrably false, it also allows the real guilty parties to get away free

Rediculous indeed...

I know reading isn't your thing, but try having a look at what he posted.

He didn't say some, or a few, or some homeowners.

He said everyone.

Which is utterly moronic stupidity.

Bressie is absolutely rubbish at singing and should stop judging people until there's some notes in his head

The same could be said about Kian Egan

Irish Manchester United and Liverpool supporters referring to themselves as "we" when talking about the club they support and calling the other clubs Irish fans "manc/scouse bastids" are pathetic.

Oh and it really pisses me off when they sing the clubs songs the learned on YouTube with a Scouse or Mancunian accent.

Absolute clowns.

Pat Kenny is the most talented man in RTÉ.

It's true he is overpaid and since a lot of them are contractors they should get a take it or leave it lowball offer.
Sure where are they going to go?
However that's popular so back to unpopular

I like Pat Kenny on radio and TV and people repeat "plank" as if they are witty yet they don't even check his work and make up their own mind.

If you can't stand him that's perfectly fine, if you never ever check his stuff then why are you commenting on the quality or lack of quality?

He's a good broadcast journalist, very informed with a concise, generally unbiased delivery, but as a light entertainment presenter... just dreadful. Scared to bits of straying from the question cards, of relaxing and being chatty, of anything unpredictable (e.g. the Toy Show - cringe) and overall too serious, clumsy whenever trying to be humorous. Just in serious journo mode all the time. Guess it's not his fault though that he was offered TLLS and Kenny Live.

Too many people believe the Irish state is their own personal atm.

The sense of entitlement in this country is mental.

"Minority rights" groups in this country are one of the only sectors of the economy that are booming.

This is some A-grade stuff.

Everyone's ambition seems to be "travel" I have done a bit, I do hope to see the Antarctic someday. But in general I hate travel, I don't believe it broadens your horizons or makes you a more interesting or better person, I think you see more of a countries culture on TV then the sanitised tourist regions people actually travel to and as for foreign cuisine give me what i am use to anyday.

If somehow i could not travel again for the rest of my life I wouldn't be that bothered.

Irish chipper chips are, on average, very poor.

I want mine golden and crispy. I dont mind waiting. Just dont serve me that anaemic looking soggy garbage.

A chip should be golden brown, crispy on the outside and fluffy on in the inside.

I was dragged to see one by a girl once. It sucked. The special effects were second rate and the story had holes all over it.

And to everyone who says it's because I didn't read the books. They're children's books. No matter how you try to explain it, you're a grown adult who's reading a kids book.

Its the ambition for young hormonal teens who have never lived outside of their home/ with the parents.

I wouldn't say it makes you a better or more interesting person but its an experience, everyone thrives toward past the age of 16.

You may say that you wouldn't want to travel again for the rest of your life, but if you had never done it before you would feel completely different about it.

Not one tune written in the past 20 years will go down as an all time classic.
Smells Like Teen Spirit & One were the last 2 of note & it's been garbage since.

Music is still good, you are just getting old and nostalgia makes music seem better than it is.

"The Catcher in the Rye" is an overrated pile of sh1t.

Only reason it has lasted is that Mark Chapman was apparently reading it when he missed Yoko Ono shot John Lennon.

Shybookwormy · 13-04-2012 09:50AM

I don't see what's wrong with liking things that are mainstream. If something you like is mainstream (Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers etc) like it anyways... don't just flow with the unpopular opinion because you think it makes you seem cooler...

That is probably true, as a young hormonal and adventurous teen and tween, I did my bit of emigration and travel. I enjoyed it to an extent but now I couldn't be arsed.

I will hop on a plane again, but I do not want to see the world. I have a recent travel ambition to walk or cycle the camino de Santiago but that will be more for the achievement then the travel aspect of that trip. But I think that is more a 40 thing, midlife crisis etc.

I've been thinking the same

. I dunno I certainly regret not having traveled as much as I'd like to in my youth. If I had time over again I would that's for sure. Then again if the circumstances were the same maybe not... The bit of travel I did do I enjoyed immensely. I loved seeing differences and commonalities and just new "stuff". If I ever came into real "fcuk off working world" money I'd defo travel a lot more. I never lived anywhere for any length of time though. Extended holidays at best. That makes a diff.

Less of that, and stop gabbing about "where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap"

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

I read it as a teen and it was written for teenagers it connected with me, it is full of rebellion, angst and a sense of lost. But if I read it now. I would also think it was a load of crap. There are some great sequences and quotes in that book and even now I still rank it as one of the best most beautifully written book I have read. It is a classic and it will always speak to teenagers of every generation. It will last for a long time.
