    If you're going into Specsavers to get your ears checked then you definitely need glasses.

    Im 19 and in college. Stop stalking me :mad:. No but seriously, week after week its story after story of corruption, incompetence, idiocy, and more. I tried to get into politics for a while but with this countries record and how its going I just dont give 2 ****s when I hear more news about the crap that goes on. I just sigh and continue on doing whatever. And its probably this attitude thats the problem with many of us, but I have heard that a million times too and its not going to change. What a joke of a country we are. A lot of people I know agree. I feel almost ashamed.

    Im expecting a hail of corrections and abuse to be honest. Im sure if you trawl through my posts you could find many contradicting comments by me. maybe. Also, Im only 19 so what do I know :rolleyes: maybe Ill come to care some day but it doesn't seem like trying with Irish politics will do much.

    Your only 19 and have already had a go at politics??? For a while??? I fear your as deluded as the politicians, you would have been rite at home I'd say :)

    Well maybe all the others you hurl abuse at feel powerless too? People enjoyed the gravy train and weren't whinging then even though the warnings were plentiful. It was all an illusion and it's time to reap what was sown. I didn't take the piss money-wise but I still got to enjoy the benefits of living here, so things are the way they are, and unfortunately it's time to take some responsibility. Not saying we're all to blame - that's rubbish - but we got those few years in fantasy land, now it's back to earth and we've got to face up to it.

    Is this meant to be ironic? I just caught a couple of posts from you recently getting irate about how we as a nation and our failings are lumped into the "we" bracket as opposed to the "I". As for fantasy land etc surely this comment is lost on me.
    I'm somewhere in the middle - I hate all the "we are all to blame" sh1t but at the same time, we got to enjoy the benefits of living here when times were good. But we all have differing degrees of responsibility - that's why I hate when there's such a hard-on for equal collective responsibility. Ordinary person is not = Sean Fitz.
    As for fantasy land - well the boom was built on sand...

    He was joking. Don't you think there's a difference between the OP's rant attacking ordinary people and proposing no solution, and actually taking a stand?

    And no, not everyone had it easy before things crashed, but living here: there were more jobs, things were generally easier.

    very true but my point is this 'extravagance' is a mystery to alot of people so its doubly upsetting when we're paying for the boom times we never had.

    Precisely :) If we were in the UAE for example, each and every one of our houses would have been raided for one of three reasons:
    1. Bad mouthing the government
    2. Discussing retaliation against the state
    3. Promoting abandonment of debt and country

    I fail to see how I'm on a high horse, and I agree: we're not all equally responsible for the mess. Some have no responsibility.

    You don't "fake" autism. I mean it's a real neurological problem. You could fake most psychiatric disorders apart from maybe long term Depression, but you are moving into fraud by doing that.

    There was a woman on the radio a while back who gave her child some red bull before a visit to the doctor. Doc diagnosed the kid with ADHD and mom gets a disability payment:rolleyes:

    I acquiesce. The soundbytes ring clear. It's ill-aimed by the OP (and others) in a way, is what you're getting at I'm assuming. Conversely it's like thinking 'Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no-one thinks of changing themselves'[sic]

    Please link me to a thread where somebody faked autism or used autism as an excuse for their behaviour because I have never seen it. I really hope you are a young teen that hasn't copped on to the fact that you need to think before you type. You cannot throw around disabilities in an effort to win your arguments, that is ignorant and will make you look foolish.

    yes but if you took a closer you will see that the user to which you replied stated the they were no longer interested in this thread and were leaving which they did so your reiterating is thus pointless and is addining to the heaps of pointlessness in this thread :)

    Fought the changes necessary for reform because they were comfy with the paychecks they were getting and unlike the average person who had to take cuts, the nurses decided they were having none of it

    As for an Garda Siochana they aren't even a proper police force with ease that gang members have of taking them out because they are ill equipped and the amount of scumbags that seem to be able to walk onto the force without any hassle at all is sickening

    Its a disgrace that in 2011, nearly 65 years after the man who spoke those words died, the ordinary Irish people are still on their knees, with the failures of the elite on their backs, keeping them down.

    If it makes you angry you need to make your voice heard, don't leave it to others, and ignore the dicks who will slag you off for speaking up.

    Ate you actually saying the worker has got a bad deal in this country over the past 20 years?
