Got that as well...maybe the site is down?

Or maybe...it's banned on the college network? *rumour mongers* <- disclaimer, I seriously doubt there's any truth in that.

Nope, 'tis down, they were having "access forbidden" issues earlier so it's entirely offline until they twiddle it about sufficiently.

www.indymedia.ie

Yep.
That website is hilarious if you haven't laughed at commies in a few days.
Although it should be called 'agendamedia.ie' as it's anything but independent.

The reports that the hunger strikers were involved in the taliban are blatantly false, particularily when you consider that its the taliban regieme from which they fled to ireland. Anything that sensationalist shouldbe-tabloid prints has to be taken with a grain of salt. Last week the evening herald (a paper also owned by independent newspapers) printed a headline that stated that the hunger strikers were involved in the taliban only to contradict itself on the inside page by stating ''these men aren`t actually in the taliban''

They worked for the Taliban, was what was said. They were kinda-like high-ranking civil servents (not the best metaphor but it'll do). The problem was that they co-operated with, and aided the taliban. Oh, and one guys uncle was also in the Taliban. (Last I heard that had been confirmed.



Oh and indymedia sucks the royal root. If you publish anything remotely intelligent there that they don't like then it "dissapears". It's also full of sch self-congradulating bull****. They named everone who opposed the hunger-strikers as a rasist. It is worse then Fox News

If it said it in the Sindo, it MUST be true...

Even if it was pre-empted with phrases like "It has been learned that" and "It is understood that.."

God bless the media!

I never mentioned the Sindo. I was not referring to the alleged confession by one hungerstriker to murder and rape -I give them the benefit of the doubt as to their basic intelligence.

Those last three posts are going off topic but anyway another good site is

Yes, I'm joking, and Exec is Union Executive. James, Dave, Dan, Jane, Anto, Pierce, Órla, Eugeniya, Michelle (nine voters), Colm, Molly, Niall, David, Viv and myself. Has power of Council outside of term.

@OT: the Boards Biki is proving good reading recently...

Commie?, is that your pet name for the object composed of rock and dust that floats around the solar system. I can assure you indymedia is not an astronomy site , [/pedantic] but it is an independent media site. see its independent because anyone can publish news. Anyone can put forward their views as long as it is within the contraints of libel and taste

Jesus, could you guys ever cut the lefty righty bullcrap for a few minutes? It's frankly really, really old. If you want to indulge, go somewhere else... like the UCDSU site perhaps. *tears out hair* *tries to shove it back in again*Now look what you guys made me do.

Its inverted Fox News for the righteous.

Red Alert

Indymedia's a good read if nothing else. Fox News is only funny when you're already in a hysterical-laughing-at-america frame of mind.

For the ladies,
I really like www.specktra.net. It's mainly about MAC makeup, but there's parts where people post pics of their make up, good for getting ideas.

I also like www.handbag.com. The forums there are good, especially the fashion one.
