You do it because if you're younger you're physically able to stand much easier on a moving bus than someone older or heavily pregnant.

Ignorant and no manners, a winning combination

Meh. Just because I'm younger doesn't mean I'm better able to stand. No one knows what conditions I could have that mean I can't stand or very long. I still don't expect people to give me their seat.

Ah, the old Schrödinger bus conundrum. The young fella that isn't giving the auld one his seat has/hasn't a medical condition is/isn't a dick.

Rugby is a posh sport for posh boys.
If you didn't go to a rugby school and never played rugby, but still go down the pub drinking, in your Munster jersey, then you're a muppet.

Ireland's Call :mad:
Say no more!!!

The wearing of GAA jerseys outside of games is pure culchie.
Not cool ever ever!!!

Golf does my head in.
Lads who never kicked a ball in their lives, then suddenly turn around at 35 and become "sportsmen" because they play golf are muppets.

All religion is cack.

Anyone who has no interest in religion but is all up for baptism, communion, weddings in the church etc - is a muppet.
Religious instruction is not an academic subject and should not be taught in ANY school.
We don't teach religion as part of say Engineering at third level - there is no need for it in primary or secondary school either.

Abortion should be available for ANY reason up to 20 weeks.
Some forms of Euthenasia should be legalised.

I laugh when ManU slag off Man City or Chelsea as nouveau riche and only buying their success.
All success is bought (including ManUs -Rooney and Rio were not cheap).
Barcelona have the highest wage bill in the world ffs.

People slag off Trappatoni, a very successful manager all over Europe.
Often these people know very little about the game and take our limited success for granted.

I don't like alcohol being mixed with sport.
Remember Darren Clarke drinking a pint of Guinness at the Ryder Cup presentation. This was a disgrace.
Could you imagine the uproar if this happened at an All-Ireland or Champions League final presentation.

Doctors -GPs that is, are not as knowledgeable in medical matters as the public think.

These find the next one day wonder, reality shows (in Ireland) should be banned.
Everybody who has some tiny bit of talent has been found already. It's over.

Eamon DeValera was not a good leader of this country.
35 years as either Taoiseach or President was a joke!!!

One reasons why United have so much money is because of the success they had during the 90's. Some of most important players were Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville and Beckham that didn't cost very much at all since they came through the youth system. So, yeah, they didn't buy their success.

I don't wear one myself, but I'm absolutely amazed at how many Irish people on here have a problem with Irish people wearing Irish GAA jerseys in Ireland, but say nothing about UK football tops being worn in Ireland by Irish? Am I missing something?

If you inclined to be sucking and licking certain areas you get close to the anus and get a whiff. This help get the juices flowing in my opinion. Some would see it as a dirty thing though.

Getting drunk every weekend, resulting in hangovers the next day, should not be seen as a normal thing to do. A once off sure but not every week.

I would consider myself to be in the "pro" camp but I have to disagree with 20 weeks. Way to far along imo.
My friends daughter was born just before 24 weeks(was in ICU for a while but had no major medical complaints due to the early birth and was perfectly formed at birth too) and is now a perfect 5 year old in school.

I hate this growing trend of guys going smooth and shaving it all off. Keep your pubes/body hair but just trim it and keep it neat.

Looks attractive and masculine to have a bit of hair on you.

Try making a "controversial" post over on a forum like Christianity.
You'll be branded a troll and receive infractions and bans.

Yes it is, but why should you expect complete freedom of speech in a niche area of a private website that can dictate its own terms of discussion freely?

I'm not talking dirty rotten scat stuff. There would still be a secretion of anal substances no matter how much wiping is done. Unless they completely wash themselves before they get sucked upon. A scent will still come from the area and will be more pronounced with the anal contractions and what have you.

I'd be inclined to think it's sensible to be honest. A lot of people can't afford a kid with downs or they might not have the time to care for a baby with special needs. People would abort a baby with downs for the same reason why people wouldn't adopt a baby with downs.
It wouldn't be the option I'd take but it is for some people.

Historically, yes, the US has had way better comedians. Currently, I think Britain and Ireland has the edge. To be honest, I struggle to think of any current American stand-up that I really like, while there's a few from Britain and Ireland that I think are great.

I'm not really into the Irish comedy circuit at the moment but those I am aware of aren't great. The last gig I was at I witnessed PJ Gallagher bomb. His support act wasn't bad but most of PJ's stuff went down like a lead blown. I felt embarrassment for him really as towards the end certain sections of the crowd started whistling and jeering while another good percentage had already made their way out to the bar.
