You trot out the statement that the 'low'number asylum seekers
can be 'handled' by this state.

I didn't, but now that you mention it, we do have the lowest approval rate in Europe.

The laws set down in Ireland were half baked and I'll conceived in a time where it was pc to be seen to help all.

Yes, 1954 was quite the highpoint of "pc" thinking in Ireland (and Geneva).

Now that we are in the doldrums it is clear that measures should have been put in place starting with Natuonal Identity cards .
If a non national arrives here they are issued a temp visa where they are allowed to work for 3 years. After the 3 years if they have not committed a crime they are at leave to apply for citizenship.
Those who do not register for the national identity card are fined or deported.

I've no idea where "here" is but here (Ireland) we don't have "national identity" cards.

The bone density notion has zero scientific value. The diffs between African and European bone densities average out to nil.

Also, doesn't high impact sport increase bone density? I'm sure lots of competitive swimmers also do running/jogging, so if bone density had anything to do with it, wouldn't they struggle with swimming?

Yeah sports do change bone density but it takes years. Your bones are torn down and rebuilt every 7 years (to stop them getting too heavy) and depending on your life style (are you more athletic or lazy) your bone structure will change to suit that.
Thats why between different types of athletes their structures are also different. Runners have different bone density/composition compared to swimmers and so on.

The majority of people with kids seem incapable of thinking rationally, or logically in any type of situation that involves their children, or a sitaution that they think might involve their children. They instantly turn into hysterical morons.

I'd say about 60% of people that own dogs shouldnt actually be allowed to own dogs. They have ridiculous ideas of exactly how a dog should or shouldnt behave and if the dog does something the owner deems wrong, then they instantly want to have the dog put down or rehome it.

If you cant accept the fact that a dog is a dog then dont own one. We cant even teach our own species to be perfect all the time, what makes us think we can teach, and then expect, an entirely different species to be what we deem perfect.

Something I've always wanted to say:

I hate pasta, It is a completely pointless and tasteless addition to any meal.

(there!, I've said it).

There should be tax breaks for people who lead healthy lifestyles. If people want to lead unhealthy lifestyles and put a strain on our health service they can pay for it themselves. The amount of lifestyle related heart disease in this country is sickening.

I'm with you, with feckin' bells on. Can't understand how people crave the stuff. It's not the blandness for me, as other carbohydrates I like are bland on their own, it's the texture. TBH, I'm glad I don't like it, it's very easy to eat way too much of the stuff from what I can see!

I hate that old GAA fella Michael O Muircheartaigh. That accent he has and the way he speaks drives me nuts. I hate it when i hear him on the telly or radio.

mikemac1 · 04-07-2012 01:07PM

When a famous artist like Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston dies sales of their work explode

People rush out to buy their greatest hits and say how they will miss them and how they were always a fan, sob sob

......if you were a fan and wanted to talk all about them you would have owned their greatest hits already and not just buying it now

Exactly my point
Jim Higgins suggested it in june 2011

we are the only country in Europe bar UK who hasn't the system in place
what does that tell you ?!

I think that there is no such thing as race amongst humanity in genetic terms anyway. Theres more variation amongst chimps than there is amongst humans.

Actually, any real fan wouldn't own a "Greatest Hits" album at all.

Well It would be controversial amongst geneticists or biologists but most lay people believe in race amongst humanity.

What defines an unhealthy lifestyle?

Cigarettes are massively taxed

KenSwee · 04-07-2012 02:58PM

I think all Apple products are crap.

I think the Wehrmacht had the best looking uniforms in WW2.

Some African nations are not ready for independence.

Not enough though.

There are statistics out (no desire to trawl for them though) that show how ciggarettes need to be above the €10 mark to pay for the healthcare costs of that pack.

Tax needs to go up to at least the break even point.

KenSwee · 04-07-2012 03:10PM

Skinny jeans, Buddy Holly hair and nerdy glasses on guys makes me very angry.

KenSwee · 04-07-2012 03:23PM

I don't think Chuck Norris really can really do all those amazing feats.

KenSwee · 04-07-2012 03:41PM

I soundly believe and want a United States Of Europe.

That's it, I'm finished.

Is it not just pushing more people into the black market to purchase an even worse product.
