    My unpopular opinion for today.........
    Ricky Gervais and his skinny douchebag hang-on Steven Merchant are not one bit funny. I do not know how people can watch these eejits. Yer man on idiot abroad is a decent fella, he's not to blame. Its that hobbit sarcastic little Gobsh|t Gervais that does my head in. He's almost as bad as that closet gay, attention seeking freak Russell Brand.

    Creationists should be banned from working in the fossil fuels industry.

    Think Genesis is 100% accurate, and you're applying for a job with Shell/Exxon/Total/Texaco/Elf? Please, feck off.

    Unpopular opinion: I don't feel like I should give up my seat for anyone in the bus and I usually don't. I've paid my fair like everyone else and I'm entitled to sit in the seat I get. Respect isn't given, it's earned and just because you're old doesn't automatically mean you deserve a seat.

    If you get to adult life and you believe the bible is the actual word of god, you should have to pay more tax to cover the education that was wasted on you.

    Even for the auld ones like they say on Dublin bus? I suppose it's true but morally wrong. You'd get a few evil looks.

    Yeah even for them. I don't know why, I just don't feel the need to. I do get a few evil looks :P but I mostly sit on the high seats so i'm not expected to anyway :L

    Writing off a band as just being '****e' is such an arrogant and useless statement

    Even if the person believes the band is, well, shite?

    You don't actually HAVE to give up your seat.

    It's just something you can choose to do if you're a nice person.

    Then, when you're old and your bones ache, maybe someone will do the same or something similar for you.

    I suppose that's true :L God if I'm still using Dublin bus when I'm that age I think I'd rather be dead.

    I think that those who go to the pub and get pissed while watching the games are morons.
    I watch sport at home or live so I can see the games and appreciate the games/analysis while sober.
    I go to the pub afterwards for my pints.

    Rugby is a posh sport for posh boys.
    If you didn't go to a rugby school and never played rugby, but still go down the pub drinking, in your Munster jersey, then you're a muppet.

    Ireland's Call :mad:
    Say no more!!!

    The wearing of GAA jerseys outside of games is pure culchie.
    Not cool ever ever!!!

    Golf does my head in.
    Lads who never kicked a ball in their lives, then suddenly turn around at 35 and become "sportsmen" because they play golf are muppets.

    All religion is cack.

    Anyone who has no interest in religion but is all up for baptism, communion, weddings in the church etc - is a muppet.
    Religious instruction is not an academic subject and should not be taught in ANY school.
    We don't teach religion as part of say Engineering at third level - there is no need for it in primary or secondary school either.

    Abortion should be available for ANY reason up to 20 weeks.
    Some forms of Euthenasia should be legalised.

    I laugh when ManU slag off Man City or Chelsea as nouveau riche and only buying their success.
    All success is bought (including ManUs -Rooney and Rio were not cheap).
    Barcelona have the highest wage bill in the world ffs.

    People slag off Trappatoni, a very successful manager all over Europe.
    Often these people know very little about the game and take our limited success for granted.

    I don't like alcohol being mixed with sport.
    Remember Darren Clarke drinking a pint of Guinness at the Ryder Cup presentation. This was a disgrace.
    Could you imagine the uproar if this happened at an All-Ireland or Champions League final presentation.

    Doctors -GPs that is, are not as knowledgeable in medical matters as the public think.

    These find the next one day wonder, reality shows (in Ireland) should be banned.
    Everybody who has some tiny bit of talent has been found already. It's over.

    Eamon DeValera was not a good leader of this country.
    35 years as either Taoiseach or President was a joke!!!

    Just fish for me tonight - I've enough chips already!!! :D

    You don't give up your seat out of "respect".
    You do it because if you're younger you're physically able to stand much easier on a moving bus than someone older or heavily pregnant.

    Ignorant and no manners, a winning combination :D

    Meh. Just because I'm younger doesn't mean I'm better able to stand. No one knows what conditions I could have that mean I can't stand or very long. I still don't expect people to give me their seat.

    Ah, the old Schrödinger bus conundrum. The young fella that isn't giving the auld one his seat has/hasn't a medical condition is/isn't a dick.

    One reasons why United have so much money is because of the success they had during the 90's. Some of most important players were Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville and Beckham that didn't cost very much at all since they came through the youth system. So, yeah, they didn't buy their success.

    I don't wear one myself, but I'm absolutely amazed at how many Irish people on here have a problem with Irish people wearing Irish GAA jerseys in Ireland, but say nothing about UK football tops being worn in Ireland by Irish? Am I missing something?

    You should make a throwaway account for things like that Neeson! :eek:
