Correct me if I'm wrong, but pre-2000, the dole would have been the equivalent of less than €100. I'm guessing that you're neither on the dole, nor facing the prospect of being on it any time soon...
I might seem right wing.... but it's as simple as this... people need to be "encouraged" to work.. I know lads that have been made redundant from jobs... are taking the ~188 on the dole and then doing nixers on the side... and that serves nothing... It has to be made MORE enticing to work and pay tax...I'm sure there are some inefficiencies in the public service and there should be cost cutting where possible but public servants (especially those on the lower rungs) have already had their pay slashed. Don't think there's much fat left to be trimmed there TBH.
The head of the HSE human resources said that he has 2000 people and that he could do the job with 700.... yet none of these people have been moved or taken off the payroll ..
All the same people who were working in the County council planning departments who were taken on during the boom are still there... There is NO building going on in 2011... and a lot of people keeping their heads down.. 0 -

Right, first off let me say that I do not regard walking on eggshells around gay people as treating them as equals. If someone had called a guest on the LLS a "fat ball of lard", or a "googly-eyed spaceman" it's unlikely anyone would have reported them, so I really don't see what the panic over "poof" is.
Greentopia, you're kinda missing the point I wanted to make. At this stage I was talking about how inconsistent the Judy Garland comment is, given the severity of your attitude in chastising the user who used the term "poofy choir boy". Lahm just used words, more plainly. But whether your intent is offence or not, the image conjured up by your "Judy Garland" fan reference is pretty much the same thing when it comes to the end result. Both bring to mind an idea of an effeminate, wimpish male.Greentopia wrote:As for the Judy Garland remark I did have a gay boss in the hotel I worked in in Sweden who loved her. Stereotypes are often grounded in some truth.
He wouldn't have had a problem with me saying that.
What standard do you assume I'm trying to set? think you're making a false assumption based on me
That's not assuming anything about you, that's just reading what you have written, which I see in front of me on the screen. But in regard to what Lahm said you set a standard and as I have pointed out above, it is in this context that I honestly see hypocrisy in what you said afterwards. That's why I mentioned it at all.
Well, strictly speaking, 3 would suffice for me to use the term "most", since 2 out of 3 would then be most of them, but yes as a matter of fact, I do have a good few (approximately 7) gay relatives in my extended family, from 20 somethings to pensioners. Not all them live near me anymore though. I referenced them because, being related, they would obviously be people I knew more about, than the general populace. Wanna help me wrap 'em in cotton wool sometime?Greentopia wrote:'Most of your gay relatives'? have that many do you?
