    To make it awkward to use cash and encourage people to use Leap cards so drivers don't have to handle change anymore.

    That makes sense, I actually went out and got myself a leap card shortly after the price hike. I get it now. Seeya thread, enjoy yourselves!

    Through the wire and college dropout were his only two albums i rate, he is pop now, not hip-hop or rap! Plain and simple he makes mainstream pop rap for white kids IMO! And yes he makes billions from it so more to him, i'm not knocking his talent to make music that sells but to fans of real hip-hop or rap his music sounds like every other song you hear on the radio these days with synthy dance lines etc running through them! He started off as a brilliant producer i think that's where he shines best! The song "Otis" on Watch The Throne proves that he can still do great things but Kanye will never be of the quality of say The Roots or The Wu Tang Clan or B.I.G etc


    Now back on track....


    i don't get paid enough for the work i do!

    Irish Marketing Doctrine on Youtube.
    I SKIP the Irish Ads on youtube - I leave the other Ads run their course. Yes, I let the UK and North America ads run their course.
    Exception: Guinness ad about glossy dressed gents in Brazaville, Congo.

    I love WU, they're my favourite group, seen them every time they have been over here since oxegen 07, gonna see Danny Brown and Monch this month, Q in May so I would class myself as a fan of "real" hip-hop as you say. But I still think Kanye is class, Im not a fan of hip-hop snobbery!

    Oh yes Katie Hopkins. I'll never get why she keeps getting air time on tv. Apparently she hates people with geographical names yet her daughter is named India. :confused:

    All she does is spout out stupid statements that makes her "controversial". She's an absolute tool.

    Why isn't a half pint of beer exactly half the price of a pint. Why isn't a one way journey exactly half the price of a return.

    Smoking. Any fire fighter will tell you why "smoke inhalation" is a bad thing, yet people choose to light bundles of leaves and inhale the smoke directly in to their lungs. Some compare it to drinking, but the alcohol you drink is highly diluted and you don't inject it directly in to your veins. :confused:

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    Because the train or bus has to come back anyway if you are on it or not so that costs money.

    Oh god yeah.
    Big depressing head on him. Every one of his songs sound exactly the same. (Same as Elvis)
    He's a contrary git too.

    So first it's trivial things that annoy me, then things I hate that the masses love and now it's things I don't get.

    I wonder how long it will be until it turns into wild rantings about how soccer and reality TV are the stupidest things ever. It's like arguing about religion.

    Anyway.... I don't get why it's €3.05 to get the bus into town and not an even €3.


    Plan is to get it to €4 before they even it out. Should get there around june 2016.

    Seem like people are happy to use any old nonsense as ammunition to support their point of view.

    I don't get how I can stuff my face with dinner to the extent that I'd vomit if I even had a wafer thin mint, and yet still have room for ice cream :confused:

    Kanye west writes some very very very good lyrics. It's not all women weed and money either.

    Hey mama is a classic.

    I don't get why some people are much smarter than others. I also can't understand how some awful awful films get nominated for oscars. The master and tree of life being two shockingly bad films that got nominated for best film.

    Oh dear.

    I don't get and genuinely feel sorry for people who feel a need to vehemently defend/support a brand over another simply because they prefer it.

    Kanye West is a musical genius. Haven't you guys listened to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? Well you probably haven't going by your statements like 'no need to explain that one' :rolleyes: It's already mentioned among the best albums of all time and I think people shouldn't judge if they haven't listened.

    Kanye West is a dick. Talented or not, he's still a dick. Stop with the "genius" stuff people, please.

    People think Christiano Ronaldo is a dick too.

    Some people it's just trendy not to like.

    Usual by people who have no idea what they're talking about.
