    ..... At this stage I would suggest ending the thread.

    You don't dictate when a thread ends, irrespective of the skewed logic you present.

    Using even a tiny bit of common sense: if the Irish are the second most productive people on the planet, then Ireland would not be in the predicament it is in now and not "a nation in a financial death spiral" according to the Wall Street Journal today.
    Keep your heads in the sand and it may not happen.

    Im the late eighties The European news paper had a survey of some sort and its findings about Ireland were:

    Its an isolated island
    They fight and drink a lot.

    Don't take the weight of the nation on your shoulders kids :)

    You claim was that we "Catholics" were lazy becuase we didnt work on Sudnay. WEll historically Protestants dont work or play on Sunday.

    I demand you quote my claim that Catholics were lazy. :confused: Or stop lying to try to make some stupid point. Perhaps if you weren't scrabbling around being so over the top defensive you might actually read what I posted.

    I have no idea why you think anything historical about taking days off for religious reasons hundreds of years ago bears any semblance of relevance with the way things are today in the majority of a population - which is what people are posting about. :confused::confused::confused:

    And historical influence is presumably what you meant by Protestant and Catholic values -

    What I meant by what? If you are going to accuse me of something, try ensuring it was actually me that said it! :rolleyes: :mad:

    YOU are the one trying to make some off the wall suggestion that having trouble finding anything open or running on Sundays today in the Republic of Ireland is somehow a non-issue because historically having a Sunday off was down to protestantism, choosing to blindly ignore the fact that a predominantly protestant country like the UK doesn't have such issues today while Ireland does - so what it has to do with protestantism in Ireland in 2010 is beyond me. :confused:

    Am I embarresed? Yes, when in the 21st century, religion still causes conflict here!

    I know that in other parts of the world* the people are reverting to religion to escape from the harsh realities of life, but I thought that we were above that.

    *The middle East for example, even the US to a lesser extent.
