Yes and we all did maths going to school, everyone knows how much they will make in the year so a 5 minute calculation would tell someone if they could afford a loan.

If it was that easy, the country wouldn't be in the position it is now.

Gay Byrne is an annoying old fart

To the poster who claimed a newly qualified 18 year old carpenter was offered a 100k loan, that can't be true as a carpentry apprenticeship takes four years and you can't begin one until you're 16.

JFK, bedhopping US president who nearly sparked off WW3.

He'd be barely remembered if he wasn't good-looking and assassinated.

And sparked a US recession for a decade by spending so much on NASA. (Still glad he did though)

Why should people who were responsible with their finances be forced to carry the can for some people who were complete gob****es with theirs. Now i know some people were caught out when the bubble burst but for every one of them theres also someone who walked into a bank and got another 50k over the value of their homes so they could buy the cars and get the latest gadgets.

Really does my head in, at the end of the day its your name at the bottom of your mortgage not mine. I've made plenty of bad financial decisions in my time but i'll take responsibility for them. It just so happens that i thought long and hard about mins and yes i paid over the odds at the time for it and i wasn't in what you would call stable employment at the time but thats my problem.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS, DONT COME CRYING TO US WHEN THINGS GO TITS UP

Like the time you bet the winter heating allowance on The King of the Sheep competition and lost.

I agree, I've never understood why anyone gets the Non-Contributory State Pension. If you can't be responsible then tough. I hope they cut this in the budget.

Bit simplistic, but I would love to see the health system completely scrapped, and re-built from ground up, with everyone re-interviewed for their jobs, with fair but competitive salaries paid based on performance. All dead weight like overstaffed HSE departments gutted, and get rid of all the nepotism and 'jobs for the boys' brigade.

A fixed amount of a persons income/social welfare should be put into a national health fund that cannot be accessed by any other government department. The amount a person pays should be based on their health, if their illness is due to being obese/overweight due to being lazy or unfit-they pay more. People should be more responsible and accountable for their ****ing selves, and the burden they put on the system. end of.

It's my opinion that the unpopular opinions thread has become a boring heap of ****e.

mikemac1 · 22-09-2012 01:25PM

Most of the last page are popular opinions, especially the one about the Health Service

This thread needs a boost

Could you please point me towards a single thread on this forum where people who claim that others should not be allowed freedom of religion are anything but a very small minority?

Actually they're not. Look at the allowances debacle. They are afraid to make some of the hard decisions needed to be made. What about Reilly adding two towns in his constituency to a priority list for primary care centres? What about Clom Keaveney saying in his pre-election that we need to change the old order of things and then hiring his wife at the top rate of pay as his parlimentary assistant?

Unpopular opinions eh ???

Lisa Simpson should have been killed off and not Ned Flanders wife (what ever her name was)

I would let Michelle Rodriguez & Gina Carano wrestle in-front of me for my amusement, or beat me up ....< not sure that's an opinion

Well apart from the nutters who spend their time insulting other peoples intelligence based on their belief systems.

Always thought the PSOne intro was really really creepy for some reason. Absolutely hated it when everyone else seems to think its's a bit nostalgic

That's funny. I remember it with fondness, and I regard Skype opening up as sounding like the devil sucking out your soul. The harshness!
