    Wait a second. Are you saying I am blind? Are you not using blindness as a way of making a derogatory statement regarding my perception or intelligence? If no is the answer please explain your reason. I have a person close to me who is turning blind and I dont appreciate comments such as yours.. I would be totally ashamed to post such trivial trash!
    You must understand that blind people can't see; but they feel as much as we do.. belittling them for your own gain is the lowest lowest form of wit i have ever encountered! my post was idiotic enough, but an attack on the blind is way beyond anything i would even contemplate! :mad:
    next time you attack a person who you find or think to be idiotic or stupid, think a bit more considerably! please!

    You're a great laugh altogether :D

    Are you new to the internet? You seem to be taking what people are saying far far far ......... FAR more seriously then you should.

    Lighten up man, people really don't mean as much malice as you seem to think, if any.

    You are coming off as incredibly oversensitive in this thread , have you read many of the threads here on afterhours much?

    Btw I make this post to help you not insult you so don't take it the wrong way either.

    Take it easy man.

    I like your response, not just like but admire! Ireland is full of so much talent. it's a passionate country so unique from others! Thats a great base for prosperity.
    As you asked, am i basing it on economics or what? I am basing it simply as a nation! May i explain, Irish people are a vigorous exhilerating people! You always meet one out of 100 irish people who cheer you up..
    A lot of Irish people are cheery and make you feel good!
    The government hasnt done this country any justice whatsover and I hope in the future the economy recovers for Ireland!

    Indeed you do, there is a reason why so many who have left in years past when the economy has been poor, have returned to Ireland to raise families. Of course there is a section of Irish society, a small percentage of the population, that is vulgar, brutal and unappealing (be they criminals and/or politicans). Viewing it from the inside makes it more apparent but all societies have this side, though of course some more than others. We cannot judge a nation by the wrongdoings of a few or else, to paraphrase Sean O'Casey, the world would be in a state of chassis.

    I agree its all to do with stereotyping!
    But a small percentage of the irish population and i mean SMALL destroyed the lives of the majority!
    AND FOR A JOKE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF THOSE LIVING IN IRELAND LOOK LIKE BRIAN COWEN! HE HAS TO BE THE WORST REPRESENTATIVE OF IRELAND EVER!

    But I at no time belittled the blind.

    That is the second time I have clarified that for you.

    I belittled your original post, in jest, by suggesting it would have been an easier read had it been presented in braille form.

    If you are unable to compute a distinction between the two, I'm afraid our discourse will remain fractious, tetchy and saddest of all, unconsumated.
