"Privilege" is being able to make, frankly, unbelievably stupid statements like this. We were lucky to grow up in a corner of the world that you never had to experience the opposite of the manure your're both spreading.

Hard graft indeed...Irish army and retiring very young...... how many have that option after only 20 odd years.....

As another poster said, lack of perspective outside the farm gate is obviously evident.

If you don't agree with showing respect to others is probably a reflection of your character. Those that break the law should have no rights, People work too hard to have a quality of life to see any interference tolerated

I never stated that or even hinted at it. Ridiculous to even try to misrepresent what I said.

1. Who determines they have broken the law? Is that for the police to do? I thought it was the courts?

2. No rights?? Are they not entitled to fair process?

I'm no leftist, but there has to be some bit of civility and fair process, without that the good are no better than the bad. Just because someone reaches a certain level doesn't mean the gloves are off.

Nor should they consider the Gardaí or Police forces in general as beyond reproach. I've witnessed a Garda lie in court. He was caught for it by a solicitor and made a fool out of by the judge.

Lovely bright orange sun in a pale pink sky. Sun shining through dust.

Would love to have caught it on camera but I was driving and the phone just doesn't handle sunset colours correctly.

We have a little Jack Russel here and since the Labrador dog next-door attacked him, we have to keep him locked up. It was my turn today to take him out for a short walk to do his business. When I opened the pen where he was, he wouldn't come out, cowering down and wouldn't move. Couldn't figure out what was wrong till I realised I had work gloves on and he taught he was getting washed. Off with the gloves and out he came

He wouldn't let me walk him towards the water tap either, would only go the other way around it. The gas thing is, I haven't washed him in over a year.

I spent 20 odd minutes looking for the calf that I was worried about that was born last Sunday. I let the cow and him out for a nip of grass in a field beside the yard during the day to build up her milk as she is feeding two other calves. I eventually found him lying under an old tipping trailer in the yard that is half covered in briars. He must have made his way back into the yard sometime during the afternoon.

This is esp for Wrangler, who thinks the Irish PS are poor. Here's a guy in Italy, who hasn't been to work since 2005 and is still being paid:

It's that civility and fair process that encourages the lawbreakers. Criminals can give the finger to the guards now as they go to commit a crime

Well if you believe your first statement then you have a biased view on me straight away. How do you know what struggles I've had in my life and what I've done to get to where I am today. I've never seen any "white privilege" that you speak about. So from your explanation my house and all my machinery and such I would have gotten anyways whichever I worked hard or not just because I'm white and male.

This white privilege effort to be honest I don't know what to make of it and why anyone would even want to mention it. Everyone starts life the same way and what effort you put in is the success you get out of it.

Dont know what your trying to show in your first video. All it shows that the parents of the kids up the front stayed married, the father stayed at home and both parents provided for their kids. How does that translate to privilege?
The parents of them kids worked hard and if that gives them a head start well that's down to the parents and not some privilege. It actually speaks poorly of the coloured community as the family unit isn't present I believe. Young mothers getting pregnant out of wedlock or young fathers abandoning the mother and child.

The second video just shows the cops pulling over a car due to the fact that they ran the number plate and no info came back and also they explained they couldn't see into the car so they pulled over the car to investigate as they explained the car could have been stolen.
The occupant and police officer were both polite to each other and both complied with each others questions so again no issue there. Just because the female driver was a person of colour doesn't mean they tore up the road after her.

Makiah Byrant shooting was it justified yes our no

I like reading this page about farming not some **** that happens thousands of miles away. Fcuk away over to the social and politics page. Nobody is owed a living or otherwise in this country or others. If ya want something work for it and shut up whinging about someone or something holding you back.
I remember a young fella in work who wouldn’t work to warm himself and he got called up by the boss to get the pep talk. During the course of it the boss said if you lose your job whose fault is it. Here are the answers in order he gave 1) looking at the boss it your fault.2) it’s my line managers fault, eventually the penny dropped.
Get on with yer own life and stop worrying about what’s going on somewhere else.

Do you not get it, the carry on of the public service and the courts in this country encourages criminality.
The ordinary people in this country have no one in their corner...... no rights at all according to our public service.

The guy that killed all the refugees in the lorry only looked like a child too. I think they were only 24,
I thought the girl (Svetlana) was in big trouble, that age group is in big demand in areas
Wouldn't have been as easy for him if someone didn't give him a car.

A neighbour got a phone call early one morning from a mate of his that was on the larne to stranrar ferry. His mate drove on, copped his Jeep on the ferry and rang him to say he'll meet gim for breakfast in 10 minutes.
My neighbour was in bed but there was no cruiser outside when he opened the curtains. Some polish fella had robbed it and straight up to the early morning ferry. He changed the plates and all but yer man had a few combines for charity etc etc stickers and that's how his mate copped it.
Scottish cops were waiting, god knows how many yer man got away with before.

Testing week after next hear, dreading it. On 4 month tests and have been restricted since January. Didn't want to go mixing bundles of cows and running them through the crush when they were heavy in calf. Last time I tested them that time of year I had 3 abortions after it so told them I wasn't going testing and to restrict me away.
