    we don't have it that bad tbh, everyone just thought they were rich during the celtic tiger and now it's going back to normal

    Because rioting like mad eejits and burning stuff doesn't affect the government/EU, it'd only lead to us destroying our own neighbourhoods and businesses, which seems a little counterproductive...

    Agreed. I propose rioting in Dublin4 and Dublin 6, after all that's where most of the people who fecked the economy live. And also a bit of rioting in Drumcondra too, and maybe even a bit in Offaly too. Mind you Offaly is already pretty destroyed so not sure how we'd destroy it more :confused:

    Seriously though, although riots do no good in the short terms what they do achieve is remind certain politicians that the population they are trying to feck over won't sit down and take it. The French government is only too aware of what can happen there if they so much as breathe a word about abolishing hard won rights. Last year inFrance students rioted in support of pensioners having pensions cut, the government backed down pretty quick. Whereas here there are no riots so our government knows they can pretty much get away with anything and the population won't rise up to fight it.

    Because most people don't have it that bad and they know it.

    On the one hand he has been making websites for much too long for it to be believable.
    On the other hand he has been researching ebooks and interactive media for more than a decade, which has netted him more academic degrees than anybody has any sensible use for.

    She studied fine arts in Florence, Italy and animation in the UK and knows more about art materials and supplies than is healthy for any single human being.

    Because things aren't really all that bad here compared to other places.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭kult



    do not need that, I rather go somewhere, or know people who live there than read controlled "icelandic" websites with german IP source address....

    I am asking again, why icelandic revolution was not on mainstream tv, anywhere in europe? is it not weird?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭kult

    one day you wake up on 5 euro minimum wage and you will say that in africa people get just 1 euro, so it is not that bad...why not to compare to rich nations instead of driving ourselves down all the time?!

    completely nothing by wrecking the whole place, but it would do the job if we just wrecked government not ordinary people, it could be good if it is against government not people ( ourselves )

    Are ordinary people not part of the permanant government (civil servants, public servants etc)?

    no they are not, they are robbing bastards, who agreed to have lisbon treaty check for the second time, who introduce new taxes to cover own mistakes, who pay bonuses to people who earn 850k pa, who ruined the country, they are not ordinary people, they are parasites on irish country

    If we set fire to the Dail would we not have to pay taxes and have any spending cuts anymore? :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,790 ✭✭✭maguic24


    Because, we're Irish. Sure it'll be grand.

    Apparently so. National debt would vanish as well.

    Norway has higher income tax and prices than us. Surely that's not one you want us to compare ourselves too?

    Suppose we could go the Swiss route and hoard the stolen assets of some dictators to help us stay rich. Surely gaining on the back of "ordinary people" being culled in their millions is also not the model you want?

    I hear they keep the receipts for the national debt in a box in Leinster house so we just need to make sure that burns and we are free.

    no, high paid politicians, bankers can invest own savings into that, after ripping us off and bringing the country down... that what they did in Iceland, and bankers are still in jail , at least some of them. It won't clear the debt but it a start

    I have no idea why I'm humouring this nonsense, but go on, please elaborate on this plan. With figures. Please.

    ask irish government for any figures and they will tell you to **** off, but you rather vote for them than stand up to them, this is the difference...

    you can lol as much as you can, but when it gets really bad in ireland the you will realize how foolish you were and that you should have started abolishing those scumbags earlier... but it will be to late

    You'd end up with a bunch of unhappy people standing around expressing their unhappiness and general ideas they don't like. 'Booo! We don't like corrupt politicians! Boo! We don't like unfair taxes! Booo! We don't like rich bankers!' but that's about it.

    That's almost exactly what happens at every Irish protest...

    That and incidents like this little piece of insanity which never ceases to put a smile on my face...
