    Twitter is nothing but self indulgence for the self important.

    I'm sick to death of Irelands binge drinking culture and how getting bolloxed each weekend is an excuse for acting like obnoxious sh*ts and play it down as just 'having the craic'. If your not blind drunk, you're a dry sh*te.

    The astounding lack of personal responsibility that many people have for their behaviours. Everyone has a choice in how they act and react to all situations. You can't control anyone around you and nobody can control you either, without your permission. I can't make you feel anything, it's your choice how you feel.

    Michael Jackson was a good entertainer - but come on, the hype and glorifying of him is just daftness.
    ...And that was before he even died.
    He didn't invent music/dance as such - he was just a good entertainer. Thats all. Next one up please...

    I get what you're saying but I don't see how it's pretentious. Silly,pointless maybe but pretentious how?

    Perhaps that's the wrong word to use. There's just a hipster vibe from it that rankles with me. I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was etc, etc.

    The Avengers was an awful pile of sh*te.

    Will Ferrell isn't that funny, Blades of Glory was alright but I don't find him funny most of the time.

    I've never found him funny at all. Just thinks he is hillarious saying random stupid stuff in a knob voice.

    Ireland and the rest of Europe had better grow up and accept the future need for an EU super-state if we want to have a chance to keep our current living standards against the economies of china and india which are going to run us into the ground by the middle of this century if we don't get our act together and start being more like Germany.

    Jesus Motherfucking Christ. I'm not a fan of the original but 50 seconds into that horrendous parody video I had to turn it off because of a rapidly rising urge to punch that douchebag in the face.

    Asshole.

    They are both fcuking terrible songs!!

    Bob Dylan has an awful voice

    I never got the worship and hype about him, treated by some as a sort of poetic genius

    Actually on this, the uniforms worn by the Francoists in Spain are lovely.

    I think this is supposed to be one of the things that sucked people into their way of thinking, looking smart.

    Women's clothing stores giving their plus-size ranges aspirational names such as "Inspire", "So Fabulous", "Gorgeous", is ridiculous. A size 30 woman probably doesn't like being that size, nor is it healthy, so why give their ranges such patronising names.

    I guess you could say Hitler was one of the greatest Fasists of all time.

    They say behind every great man is an even greater women.

    I can't help wonder was a woman the cause of WW2...

    Brilliant!

    Have a look at some of the women-bashing threads on here: you'll see that they're slightly more subtle.

    You need to start with complaining about Irish women being too ugly or picky, then work your way up to Hitler after about 100 posts, at least.
    Don't Godwin yourself straight away.

    The Heineken Cup does not matter to the big French and British teams . This is why they field second string sides to half empty stadia. Their domestic leagues are where it's at. Ergo it does not matter at all and should not be considered a European Cup if the best of the best are only half interested. An inconvenient truth if ever there was one. The Six Nations is much closer to the idea of a European Cup than the HC and this is where Irish rugby should be aiming to excel.

    They tend to sell better than a 'Fat Bitch' label.

    I am prejudiced! And not against one sort of people, but many!

    I am prejudiced against some Muslims, the ones that have their women run around in full cover ups (burquas)! My favourite ones are the converts, be they male or female. I am sorry, I know they say that Islam respects the human individual, but somehow I really struggle to see it. Hope I didn't offend anyone now, I just find it quite difficult to come to terms with.

    I also have a general distaste for anorexic people. I love to tell them that they are fat, just to see their faces because I can't take the disease seriously. I know that it's mean, but I just can't help myself. The same applies to people displaying self-harm scars etc.

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

    I don't care if you think I'm cruel because I am right ;)

    It's not right and you know it. It's bullying of people with psychological issues plain and simple.

    Still, you don't care so I'll leave it at that and let you carry on with your sad little attempts to be oh so controversial.
