Systemic Risk wrote: » Jeebus biggins you come across as an extremely harsh individual. You are extremely combatative and have zero ability to debate and have no persuasive skills. If the DDI movement is to gain any traction should you not be presenting your case in a calm maner and rationally debating points with posters. You know you dont have to reply angrily to every post that disagrees with you. Reacting as you have on this thread has served to turn me off DDI. When i first heard of it i thought it was a novel idea for the people to be able to put forward laws for referendum. I was open to persuasion. Not by you though im afraid.

He co-created an organisation to try and bring an entirely legal possible way to see that the Irish people gain some rights back that previously was taken from them. As long as he and others support that idea, I see no problem in standing beside the man. What anyone thinks at home generally is their own business. (Mind you, if they are thinking of building a nuke in their back garden shed & I get wind of these thoughts - Yes, then I'm likely to be ruddy worried! Bloody fast!!!)

You can still do whatever you like - wherever you like, on your property. I don't see the problem here! Where has ANYONE said that? Please show it? Back your crap up! I said Lee Wellstead got tired of the whole battle against the bank. He did. The wore him and his family don't. For the sake of his, his wife and his kids mental health, he walked away. What part of this do you not get - or do wish wish to try again and state something that was never said in the first place?

I'm lending my support to an organisation, an idea that "Direct Democracy" is possible better way to hold TD's more accountable and a better way for the Irish people to start no longer being afraid of the government - but that the government should be instead, afraid of the people! End of story. What one person might think to himself in his own time and keep outside the organisation completely so far, is none of my business until I see it interjecting in the running of a said organisation. Till then - it should be generally none of my business.

Biggins wrote: » At the end of the day, I can only state what I know. Mr Gilroy has NEVER gone on about any Freeman stuff to me or within my earshot at any time. He has never stated this stuff to others that I have talked to - and they have had no reason to lie to me to either. They are close friends. If any person wants to think along some lines that might occasionally run in parallel with some wacky group out there - so be it. Freedom of thought and all that stuff... As it stands there is no Freeman ideology in the DDI that I have ever witnessed and as more detail on economic polices will be emerging shortly, folks will indeed see this for themselves. They might disagree with aspect of what will be coming soom - they might agree - but there will be none of this Freeman stuff that is going seriously across some (for want of a better word) "wacky" forms out there. As I have honestly stated HERE:

Howcan they expect to be taken seriously when these loons are involved with it? If anything DDI will do more to kill off the idea of a Direct Democracy System in Ireland.
I wouldn’t know a “Freeman” or recognise what one is if one came up and slapped me in the face with a wet fish! I have not met one as far as I know and as far as I know, even if I did, would not mind! All have the right think and believe as they wish too!
