    He can be when he wants to be, but he's a complete whore. He'd do anything for money.

    I have no argument for or against religion. It isnt a big part of my life but I find Richard Dawkins to be a supremely arrogant individual
    Really? Explain how please.

    Otherwise the only arrogance I see is from those who somehow see themselves as superior to both outspoken atheists and religious fundamentalists.

    Declan Kidney has brought the Irish Rugby team on leaps and bounds with his free flowing, unstructured modern style. Long live the King.

    A completely inconsistent manager of the Irish team. Some baffling decisions over the years, such as repeatedly picking old favourites like Tomas O'Leary who bring little to the team.

    He's also consistently failed to blood new talent in meaningless matches which there is no excuse for as we actually have this.

    He hasn't gotten the most out of some very good players, the divide between the provinces immense success in the Heineken Cup and the lack of it at International level show this. I want him gone as soon as possible.

    Agree...

    Now I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this one but
    I do not like the idea of gays adopting babies.

    That's actually a pretty common opinion, and I disagree with it.

    He's passionate and actually seems, I think, like a nice humble guy. He's just ridiculously intelligent and shares it in his own way, sharing his passion for life and trying to get the point across that it's possible without a god.

    Regarding the Irish soccer team,

    The reason they do so badly is that they don't have enough quality players - changing the manager isn't going to change that.

    A lot of people are all over the place with mood issues and bad attitudes because of poor diet, and don't realise it. Good nutrition is important for physical and mental health. Someone might agree to that but God help them they wouldn't actually apply the idea to their lives and level out a bit.

    WOW! If only I had eaten my broccoli all those years ago, my life would be so much better.

    Show me where I mentioned mental illness. You're just trying to start.

    And one of the reasons they don't have enough quality players is the manager is a stubborn old goat who burns bridges way too easily.

    Will high quality Irish international footballers suddenly appear out of thin air whn the current managers contract runs out?

    Somehow I doubt it.

    That's twisting my words a little.Ireland wouldn't suddenly become a powerhouse of International football if the manager got sacked. That's not what I'm saying at all.

    You wanna clear this up?

    So-called 1%ers in Devils Ride. Bogus! One guy married to a cop. It's just Discovery's answer to Sons of Anarchy but they have to pass it off as reality tv because they are a documentary channel. At least Sons of Anarchy isn't pretending to be anything other than fictional drama and is entertaining but this Devils Ride is the pits. You would find tougher bikers in the gay bar from Police Academy.

    having a strict diet is so pointless, like unless you eat terribly and do nothing you won't be fat. i dont care about my diet and my bodyfat is like 11 per cent

    It mainly depends on your metabolism.

    And age. I was 11 stone when I was 30. Now I'm 15 stone at 52.

    The majority of Irish people lack any kind of style or class. Whether it be how they dress, how unfit they look and how they misbehave after consuming alcohol.

    Irish cities are also filthy, making us one of the most untidiest people in Europe.

    Dublin is an absolute hole. Filthy and dangerous. I've felt safer walking around New York than I have walking around Dublin.

    That said, I would still take Galway over any city I've visited. I love that town.

    there's a major lack of bins in Irish towns, Limerick is an absolute kip as well, its full of chewing gum on the footpath too.

    For the day that's in it and for some of the ridiculous things I've seen posted and heard people saying over to past few days-

    Here goes:

    Those with "the right to vote" should be tested before they vote, to ensure that they actually understand what a candidate stands for / what the motion / proposed change is etc etc before their vote is acknowledged in the final count

    e.g. very simple MCQ BEFORE they select their actual choice, the answer of which will cause their vote to be either discounted or included in the final count

    I completely agree. When it comes to referendums, a lot of people don't even seem to know what they're even voting for.
