    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.

    Funny, that's something that i really like about Irish people.

    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

    Excellent idea, and sounds in no way open to blatant abuse by whoever is setting/marking the tests. Genius in fact.

    I think Ray D'arcy is the best presenter in the last 20 years of Irish broadcasting :o

    I still go places where they say they love us. But not everywhere. The young agressive males in Bondi and similar places are giving us a bad reputation.

    Miriam O'Callaghan isn't actually very good at her job. I'm baffled by how everyone thinks she's some sort of national treasure.

    Out of 10 Id "give her one"

    Only if you think about what it's made of i.e. the curdled lactations of an animal that spends most of its time ankle deep in dung.

    No, it's not that. After all, I do like milk.

    I thought 'The Dark Knight' was complete rubbish. Made especially awful because of Heath Ledger's performance.

    Everyone said he was amazing, I thought he was like some poncey drama student trying to mix Jack Nicholson's Joker with Johnny Depp's Keef routine.

    Speaking of bad acting, pretty much everything Cillian Murphy does. I know the chicks think he's a really pretty little short arse but he's rubbage.

    Especially the Neil Jordan film where he was playing a tranny. I couldn't make out one single word of dialog. It was just mumbling passing as what? A deep involved performance? Pure ****e.

    The monty python old woman routine woulda been more convincing.

    I think Cillian Murphy is pretty good in general but that Breakfast on Pluto was the greatest hape a dung I ever saw, I don't think that's an unpopular opinion

    'Hi I'm just back from Thailand where I bought these beads and did lots of drugs.

    I met loads of other people buying beads and doing drugs and went on the same day trips and drank in the same bars as them.

    I'm like, so open minded? You should really go. Then you'll understand.'

    Its not the act of travellling as such..its the need to tell everybody else about it.

    Much like volunteer,going overseas to work in South African townships do-gooders never shut up telling everybody how great they are.

    We'll agree so, the act of travelling doesn't broaden the mind.

    The act of "Working" does instill a sense of pride, well-being and place within a person. I am in favour of anybody doing good.
    I posted about travel, you replied about Work and Talk.
    You need to get out more

    Brilliant. :D

    Basically, I believe travel can broaden the mind, but that doesn't mean it always will.

    We should stop sending aid abroad immediately!

    We don’t have the money to spare.

    We desperately need the money ourselves.

    And God knows who’s getting the money on the other end.

    Stop this NOW!
