    The man in question who is currently supported by Sinn Fein in his canvassing for said party knowingly murdered two children, YES or No???

    Straight answers please, none of this "well the brits did x, y & z" dodging.

    Ok I'll address this question directly to you Happyman42.

    Can I get a straight yes or no answer??

    Well we could start with child killers if you wish.

    Some child killers are more important to you than others.

    Are you crazy? Do you think Cubans have a better standard of living than Irish people? :pac:


    Never said they did - but as a matter of interest which 'Irish people' are you referring to?


    The ever increasing number of homeless Irish people?

    The seriously ill Irish people who don't have health insurance?

    The Irish people who bought in developments like Priory Hall?

    The Irish people who live in unfinished ghost estates?

    The terminally ill Irish people who are losing their medical health cards?



    You criticised Cuba's economic policies - I simply commented that I find it amazing that Cuba has managed not to go bust despite over half a century of sanctions - pity Ireland couldn't do that and we didn't even have sanctions imposed on us so it would be good if we had a few Cuban financial advisers around.

    You're very fond at being selective on condemning child killers.

    11 yr old Francis Rowntree who was shot dead by a soldier, where is your concern that the BA has not even acknowledged his murder or there has been no prosecution? (story was in the news yesterday and linked earlier) http://www.u.tv/News/Soldier-could-be-prosecuted-over-boy-death/4ce8f4ea-060f-46d6-9ce4-dba402a51f8f

    I don't know Happyman's answer to this, but for some PIRA supporters I have met, these kinds of questions boil down to this answer: "The ends justify the means."

    And that's what the debate is about really - whether you agree with that philosophy or not.

    Probably not a good idea to bring this one up to support your argument but it does go to show what I meant earlier about people with questionable morals being trusted in other areas of life.

    Are the BA out canvassing in our elections, or is this just more whataboutery from SF HQ?

    Look at their economic policies ffs! No austerity, no water charges, no property tax, etc. Where do they propose the government get the money needed to run the country and pay back our debts?

    Also the main reason they're doing well is their badly thought out policies appeal to the red top readers as does their tiofchaidh ar la idealism.

    Thick cvnts! :mad:

    I have a couch ,some lovely blue flowers and a hug over in the pi forum

    I believe that Major Herbert Lammerton Forsyth is running in the Ballyfermott - Drimnagh ward for Dublin City Council.

    Let's not bring the failure of various regulators to do their jobs into this or we'll be here all week. ;)

    LOL.
    Yes indeed and General Sir Mike Jackson is an SDLP candidate in East Surry.

    Yeah it was the regulator who was really responsible for Priory Hall just like it was the police's fault for the bombs going off.

    I dont know about dying but i would imagine a famine the sign of a pretty poor economy. From 1991 to 1995 if i remember correctly. An economy so that the government have admitted that the old system is a failure and started to introduce a limited form of capitalism to improve the lot of the people. Cuba is not the socialist paradise that some people like to think.

    So it is fair and reasonable to state that this man is an unrepentant child murderer who is supported in his position by Sinn Fein and its leader Gerry Adams??


    I'd like to state at this time that I am not a member of any politicial party or organisation and have never voted for a member of any political party for 3 or 4 elections.


    If a child murderer or rapist or armed robber was canvassing for any other party in this country there would be outrage from all sides of the politicial sphere.

    The GFA was a watershed moment in the history of this country and the vast majotity of former members of illegal armed organisations have showed some form of regret for the suffering they caused. This man has not and should be called out on it imo.

    Neither is it anything relevant to SF's economic policies like some people like to pretend.

    Never said it was.

    Said it is amazing Cuba never went completely bust what with over 60 years of U.S. sanctions. Ireland did go bust with nary a hint of a socialist government or a sanction.

    The only thing relevant on this thread is that a convicted unrepentant child murderer is campaigning on behalf of sinn fein and that sinn fein leaders have no problem with this. Anything else is an attempt to defend the indefensible.

    I take it you are not homeless or terminally ill or related to anyone who is so.

    If I was terminally ill or had a seriously sick child I'd prefer to be in Havana than Dublin.

    Sinn fein = populist policies = poor candidates by and large (they may be more honest than others but policywise clueless) thats grand cause they wont be in power. Ive enough trouble trying to keep s low paid job as is. The day they even hint at getting in power is the day I try beat the q for the boat before the rest have to catch up. It would be interesting to find out what portion of sinn fein candidates did honours maths.

    I notice you haven't seen fit to whine at any SF basher who wants to talk economics... how curious is that?

    Has he apologised in any way? No he hasnt. Therefore he is unrepentant.

    They're up against some other right stinkers though. They all seem to be grandson of TD so and so and the best they can come out with is "I'm the youngest candidate on the card".
    Depressing selection all round.

    Feel free to start your own thread about the wonders of the cuban health system. It is not relevant here.
