Summary: Take it and incur the burden of the IMF and increased EU regulation.

Don't take it and incur the wrath of the EU.

To be honest, it is incredibly unrealistic for us to think we're getting out of any situation without being severely screwed. In no country in the world is an elected government going to put the people before the interests of the friends of the gentry, the bondholders of this world, big-business and the banks. Democracy, and capitalism are just two systems to fuck us. To think that there's any way for us to get out of this debacle with as small a hit to the little guy is just fantasy. And all the bitching and moaning is going to get us nowhere. All we can do is sit back and watch the tidal-wave of shit roll over us. Or get up and burn the Dail to the ground, be that metaphorically or literally.

Would be nice and romantic to think there is an Irish solution to this Irish problem but once the IMF moves in, it will be out of Irish hands . And that's for every Irish person is just as hard to take if not harder , knowing it was Irish bankers and goverment who got the country in the mess in the first place .

As a fighter it almost kills me to say this.. But I've a sense of resignation of defeat. I think if this was a fight I was in I'd tapout and be done with the loss.

thanks for that.

resignation is an apt word. I feel that anyone who can disrupt Fianna Fail is a good thing for Ireland right now.

What a bad day today was with those poor people being killed in Limerick and Cork and all of this stuff too. I just read the 'beggars in the city' thread and lots of people still have their heads up their arses with real 'i'm alright **** everyone else attitudes'. I really feel sad, I know it sound dramatic but I don't remember a day like this before for the country.

Have some perspective will you? Ireland not qualifying for the World Cup was far, far worse.

Pure hysteria so what's this this thread about

It may be After Hours but sorry, not particulary funny
I remember what Joe Duffy started with Northern Trust

I'd forgotten all about that thread.

Wasn't as good as the "Building A Cooker On Ground Zero" one though!

Is anyone watching Sky news?

The IMF are arriving here tomorrow.
Apparently the dole is being cut to €98 p/w and 20,000 public sector jobs will be cut within the next two weeks.

Have you looked at your feedback thread? DeV copped onto what starbelgrade's original post was about..pity a lot of other people didn't.

I dunno, maybe you have to over a certain age or something to have got it.
It makes me sad that i am over that age! :pac:

I'm baffled that a thread about the EMF & Brian Cowen balls could have turned into a serious discussion. I don't think it's an age thing either... I think some people are just so wound up by the media reports on the economy that half the country is going bleedin' mental.

Must be all the cheese everyone's eating before bed time.

I think after 10 pages of ranting it is worth just reminding everyone that the morning after the bailout, the sun will still rise, our kids will still have their cornflakes and get ready for school, we will still have a roof over our heads and dinner on the table. For goodness sake, relax a bit!!

Duggy747

Well I fully believe starbelgrade's OP, I heard along the grapevine that the cheese we're being given is nothing more than Playdo

And that the HIV are going to take us over

And that people on the dole will actually have to PAY €196 instead of being given it a week.

And that our fuel resources are being switched to cats.

And that there'll be a supposed tea shortage in around Feb-March 2011

And that Boards will become a 1 Thread per month website as funds for the servers vanish.

Ooooh, oooooh, and Brennan's Bread are moving their factories over to Poland.

And the only way to keep this country afloat is to sell it on Ebay.

And that we'll all have to switch back to dial-up.

And that RTÈ will become BBC

And that our hospitals will be sold off and transformed into Leprechaun parks.

The rest is all true, so why tag in a lie at the end?

This is my first political scaremongering on Boards, I wanted to do it right

Also, 2011 won't exist in Ireland as I've heard Brian Lennihan sold that year off to Germany to pay of parts of our debts.

So next year will be just known as...............

I heard they eat shovels and spades, and the farmers won't be able to dig, and we'll have no food in about an hour after they arrive.

Can't we just hold them up in the airport for ages with confusing signs, and not putting their baggage onto the carousel?

See, those crafty people in DAA knew this was going to happen.

And if we follow this up with giving the usual Irish directions such as, "Go way down dat road, and when you come to de big tree, you've gone too far. Turn around an go back to Big Pats' field, and turn around again, an go back down de road again. And turn off after the big tree. And de road kinda goes left...."

That'll learn 'em for coming in here and sorting out our mess.

Why don't we sell the whole country to China? They could write off everyone's debts and kickstart the economy with their pocket change, while establishing a foothold in Europe for trade/invasion. It's win/win!

Oh, and somehow I don't think the unions wouldn't be such a pain in the ass anymore
