I think sometimes people or employers overuse this recession or financial crisis as an excuse to not speaning cash or being tight

Irish Rail should have a smoking carriage. After all, smokers are jokers taxpayers too.

I think smoking should be illegal for anyone born after, say, 2002. Assuming that virtually all 10 year olds don't smoke currently, as they get older, parents can be issued heavy fines for their children's smoking at the back of bike sheds etc. When the post 2002'ers get to be over 18, they can be fined and/ or arrested for smoking tobacco just like cannabis. If you're older- smoke away, champ. If you're born after 2002, too bad.

Et voila, long term solution for the problem of pointless tobacco smoking and the pressures it puts on the health service without the imposed upheaval on the current afflicted addicted.

Agreed. I remember that fat twat Cowen talking down to us a few years back about how the country finances are like your household budget.If you have not got the money ,you can't spend it.Well how many households borrow money to give to charity? Nobody.We should reduce our overseas aid to ZERO

I wouldn't classify that as a particularly 'unpopular opinion'.

Financially we have little to worry about in this country.

I don't know of anyone who has been made homeless or staved to death yet, we have a welfare system that gives you money and shelter and even pays for a college education if you want it.

I think the new meaning of recession is ' not being able to buy luxury items on a regular basis '.

I'm not implying that people aren't struggling to pay bills etc, just that we all have enough to get by.

Enda Kenny is doing a fantastic job, and everything our government has done in the past 18 months has been spot on.

Tom, I don't know if the Scientology has gone to your head, but you're seriously out of touch to be claiming a lot of that.

A lot of people are all over the place with mood issues and bad attitudes because of poor diet, and don't realise it. Good nutrition is important for physical and mental health. Someone might agree to that but God help them they wouldn't actually apply the idea to their lives and level out a bit.

He can certainly act when he wants to. Adaptation, Raising Arizona and Bringing Out The Dead are all very good movies.

Really? Explain how please.

Otherwise the only arrogance I see is from those who somehow see themselves as superior to both outspoken atheists and religious fundamentalists.

A completely inconsistent manager of the Irish team. Some baffling decisions over the years, such as repeatedly picking old favourites like Tomas O'Leary who bring little to the team.

He's also consistently failed to blood new talent in meaningless matches which there is no excuse for as we actually have this.

He hasn't gotten the most out of some very good players, the divide between the provinces immense success in the Heineken Cup and the lack of it at International level show this. I want him gone as soon as possible.

That's actually a pretty common opinion, and I disagree with it.

He's passionate and actually seems, I think, like a nice humble guy. He's just ridiculously intelligent and shares it in his own way, sharing his passion for life and trying to get the point across that it's possible without a god.

Regarding the Irish soccer team,

The reason they do so badly is that they don't have enough quality players - changing the manager isn't going to change that.

Have you actually read any of his books or are you just being uppity because the title 'The God Delusion' comes across as arrogant. If it's the second I'd see your point, to an extent. But it's obvious to anyone who actually reads his books that Dawkins is far from arrogant.

Well that's surprising :rolleyes:

Care to give any reasons for not liking 'gays' adopting babies?

Neither of these are particularly unpopular opinions by the way, I know more people who would agree than disagree with them.

And one of the reasons they don't have enough quality players is the manager is a stubborn old goat who burns bridges way too easily.

Will high quality Irish international footballers suddenly appear out of thin air whn the current managers contract runs out?

Somehow I doubt it.

That's twisting my words a little.Ireland wouldn't suddenly become a powerhouse of International football if the manager got sacked. That's not what I'm saying at all.

So-called 1%ers in Devils Ride. Bogus! One guy married to a cop. It's just Discovery's answer to Sons of Anarchy but they have to pass it off as reality tv because they are a documentary channel. At least Sons of Anarchy isn't pretending to be anything other than fictional drama and is entertaining but this Devils Ride is the pits. You would find tougher bikers in the gay bar from Police Academy.

The majority of Irish people lack any kind of style or class. Whether it be how they dress, how unfit they look and how they misbehave after consuming alcohol.

Irish cities are also filthy, making us one of the most untidiest people in Europe.

Dublin is an absolute hole. Filthy and dangerous. I've felt safer walking around New York than I have walking around Dublin.

That said, I would still take Galway over any city I've visited. I love that town.
