just so ye all know, i've been reporting posts that have been spreading the lies of these 2 reputable new sources concering the chair that was most definately not thrown before/during or in fact, after the protest!!

So we are meant to believe the words of some stranger on the internet rather then two news sources?

also as per the forum rules
""Because community standards vary and individuals sometimes choose not to comply with our policies and guidelines, in the process of using Boards.ie, you may be exposed to content that you find offensive or objectionable. You can report such content to us using the Report Post feature.""
and there is nothing in the rules about posting not from a news source. so you are just wasting the mods time

its not just my account i'm fighting to have heard, its only the fcuking truth!!

excuse the french but this negative propaganda campaign now being waged against protestors is really starting to bug me

there were lots of groups down there today but somehow this has been called an occupy galway troublemaking exercise!! get up the fcuking road galwayadvertiser and galwaynews

some of us protesting have used your services (put money your way for ads, remembrance/death notices etc or may have done in the future, not anymore let me tell ya!!

I refuse to pay them anymore money for advertising or whatever and will forever tell everyone around to do the same.

GOODLUCK!!

how about a year of rioting
constant political instability
threat to put a referenda to Greeks on their bailout

The referenda threat was after the deal was brokered, can you explain to me how something that occurred after the deal affected it?

The reason they got the deal was the figures didn't add up, simple. The Greeks rioted for a few years achieving nothing. Markets have the power whether we like it or not.

Iceland did similar things, in fact they put IMF intervention to the people.
They told the EU and the IMF to **** off.

This year Iceland has returned to growth.

They put IMF intervention to the people? When was this?

I distinctly remember our leaders desperately trying to distance Ireland's situation/similarities to Iceland at the time of the collapse.

Iceland isn't doing that great, about comparable to us. That's about as comparable our economy is to Iceland.

Read the first line under expenditure.

Thanks for that:

In fairness PS pay has took significant cuts, maybe not enough for some, but progress has been made. The big area is welfare, it's unsustainable atm.

anything wrong with that??

i've been talking about this kind of blatent manipulation ofthe people for 3/4 years now (while running my own business 2005/09 and during college 2009/10) and sometimes i have people look at me as if im some manic depressed loon that just wont shut up talking!!

Oh yeah I'm meant to know that you guys are against the household tax because u guys set up camp in the middle of eyre square? None of the signs around the camp (at least not the ones I glanced at while passing) say anything about the household tax instead they all say things like "do we love the banks more then out kids?" and other vague nonsense like that
Because it looks more like you are protesting traveler rights with ur camp
Also I'm not trolling, perhaps you would take me more seriously if I started cursing in most my posts? Or if I typed in all capitals? Or if I acted extremely patronising to other people on the forum?

Oh sorry it was the other thread that u were typing in all caps. And no I wasn't planning on saying anything about if u are on the dole (you sound like one of the few who deserve it) if I was going to make a jab about anything, It would have to be on the 1 year college course :P

Well I walk past it twice a day at least since it started and none of the poster are informative. once again when other people protest their signs usually give some information. Perhaps if people knew what ye were planning to archive then you would have more support. Also I don't think it's fair to say its about the household tax as there are occupy groups everywhere around the world in places where there are no household charges being implemented

yes i did a year in music technology, spent me €6,500 maintenance grant on brand new music production equipment and studied what i wanted after the year, i learned all about binaural effects that can move people through their shakras so as to increase the effect you get from the music, subtractive synthesis which is creating any sound with it's relative wave forms, running them through correct filtering and basically creating my own kick drums, snares, cymbal sounds etc, im glad i learned at my own intense pace at home in year 2 as my mate who went onto Tralee it still hasnt touched on most of what i learned 8/10 hours a day 6/7 days a week.

in the one year course i did i learned i love the science of sound and the time spent since college has blown my mind

Stopped listening when he tried to justify it as a comparison to drinking water.

I've a few problems with this comparison:
1) drinking water is not free (and isn't in many European countries) - it does cost money
2) a lot of it is wasted unnecessarily
3) motorists (motor tax) & industry subsidize it.
4) anyone in a group water scheme is already paying for it

It's a bit much to want all these services but not want to pay for them.

For certain things like water & rubbish I've been in favour of a polluter pays scheme. I see the household charge/property tax as a mechanism of doing this.

For the record I'm renting, it'll probably come out of my rent anyways (whether or it my rent goes up because of this remains to be seen) - so I will be paying for this one way or another.

Well if you want anyone to take you seriously I would suggest leaving out phrases like OMG, the exclamation marks and perhaps learn the use of capital letters.

I had a preconceived notion in my head that the occupy group were hardly the sharpest tools of society. A quick skim over the last couple of pages has confirmed that thought.

the OMG was thrown in there for hello worlds benefit and if i want to use it again i will, if i want to use exclamation marks i will !!

and to be quite honest caps can go and kiss my arse

talk about trying to attack someone on any angle (was so bloddy tempted to spell that angel!!)

I used to be a grammer nazi but then i realised my condescending tone that came across sometimes when correcting someone.
