On the religious thing, I'm of the thought that I don't believe there is a God, but if others do believe in one then I have no reason to berate them. Belief is down to the individual, you shouldn't force your beliefs on others.

That's very true and one shouldn't force their lack of belief on others either.:pac:

AH's is like a feeding frenzy today with hardcore atheists trying to one up each other with reasons on why Christians are morons. It's gets tiresome after a while, very immature and petty behaviour imo.

Well the lack of belief is a belief in nothing, so it's included in what I'm saying :pac:

And stuff like that is why I don't like calling myself an atheist, it's just ridiculous.

Tiresome, immature and petty behaviour is what AH is for.

AH is a great read on Good Friday.

Cuz Atheists give out about it more than anybody else in my experience.

I hear lots of friends & colleagues comment on how ludicrous it is, I know many had their kids christened so I am guessing they are not ticking no religion on the census form. In after hours I see many moaning, but I do not see many saying what religion they are. I DO see a lot of presumption that they MUST be atheists though, I see a lot of that.

Quote from the mayor of limerick when they got the right to open in 2010

"I don't see why Ireland discriminates against its own people. If people want to go to the pub and have a drink of watch a sports match, they should be allowed to do that. Even the Vatican city doesn't have this ridiculous law.

"The law was last amended in 1928, and it is about time it is reviewed, because we are living in the dark ages."

jaykhunter · 29-03-2013 04:37PM

the internet is generally a contentious place, throw in religion or politics and no real-word reprimands and it's a power-keg of arguments and trolling waiting to go off. Pity those poor mods!

Angron · 29-03-2013 04:38PM

Oh yeah, I'd imagine being a mod of AH would suck, especially with the volume of posting there.

Its the outdated law thats the problem not the Church.

I agree with DB that the outrage over one day is pretty lol. Back in the day the Good Friday all day sofa drinking session was one of the highlights of the boozing calendar anyway.

Bingo with the first part. I'm a non-drinking agnostic, but even I think it's a stupid and outdated law. While I would like to see the country's drink problem tackled, the day in question shouldn't cause drink-related closures.

I was in Tesco last night though, and it was shocking to see the bulk buying that was going on. Can people really not live a single day without booze? It's not even a day without booze, just a day where it's harder to get. You'd swear the end of the world was nigh...

GTR63 · 29-03-2013 06:14PM

The amount of Drink I do see bought in Lidl makes even my own liver hurt, trolleys full of bottles and cans.
Where I live too there has been a load of puke stains on the footpaths a lot the last week and even 1 on a car's rear windshield.
As far as the Church and outdated I ain't touching that one.

ShagNastii · 29-03-2013 06:21PM

I find the whole discussion about the Irish pubs and their opening hours a bit sad (in ever sense of the word)

The supermarkets and off licences being thronged yesterday somewhat proves that the country is a slave to alcohol.

Lord TSC · 30-03-2013 08:13PM

Is it tonight clocks go forward or next week?

Charisteas · 30-03-2013 08:14PM

Tonight

CastorTroy · 30-03-2013 08:33PM

And good job too. Americans I have meetings with went forward a few weeks ago so my 1:30 meetings were moved to 12:30 and cutting into lunch

Charisteas · 30-03-2013 08:41PM

It's bad because it means having to stay up an hour longer for Wrestlemania next week.

JP Liz V1 · 30-03-2013 08:47PM

So full of road rage, the amount of cyclists and tractors I meet today and none had any consideration for the motorists behind them :mad: I thought cyclists had to be in a single file anyways happy easter all

Cyclists, for the most part, are very selfish when they cycle in groups. Sometimes triple-file on narrow roads in rush hour out my way. They don't go very fast either.

Shower. Unbelievably inconsiderate road users.

Diabhal Beag · 30-03-2013 10:20PM

Also the biggest crime is the amount of male arse on show. Sort yerselves out cyclists.

GTR63 · 30-03-2013 11:10PM

My dad cycles, nearly got killed a few weeks back by a truck thankfully he was walking with the bike and not cycling. He asked me should he bring the bike to the garage despite it being bent into a U.
My dog is fair annoying me tonite, took her to her 'boyfriend' during the week and its like she doesn't forgive me that I had to leave her there overnight.

Big game in Walsh Park Diabhal et al.

Hon Deise.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 31-03-2013 03:09PM

I went out with my old secondary friends last night. It's amazing how people change, I'm only 24 but they seem like completely different people, a weird collection of go getter's and losers.

There's far worse grounds but it's a bad spot to be on a cold day. Even had a nagin of Paddy's to keep us warm. Great result though. At least ye got 4th spot. Always love seeing Moran and Brick in the flesh. They're superb. Ref was awful though.
