    hiding stuff?


    Travellers are never out of the news, This topic is as old as the internet.
    We are hiding the fact that politicians are using Political Correctness for not doing anything about Rural Crime in Ireland . Just can’t go there for Politically Correct reasons . Very handy for the Politicians who are doing nothing to put a stop to Rural Crime . A Get out of Jail Card for the Politicians .

    You seem like an educated person, the ins and outs of running a pub are quite simple it would seem, to a point where needing specislised inside knowledge of the sector would not be needed to answer the question posed to you.

    I would take from your response that you are being purposefully obtuse, in as much as the most obvious and logical answer would scupper your argument.

    I agree with all of that except for maybe the first line.

    Who called them darlings?

    Im not here to defend travellers, have you read my posts?

    I am here calling casey a snake oil salesman. Selling nothing but Air that fella.

    Anyone claiming him as a messiah deserves to be questioned.

    I'm sure I told you no one thinks he's a messiah about 5 pages ago. But sure, keep going.

    OT I know but I referred the other day to my "freebie five".

    I've no knowledge base of riding Michael Fassbender but I can answer the question "would you ?"

    Hypotheticals have their place in debate.

    If the list is laminated then it's not really a hypothetical anymore.

    So why can’t you answer a different hypothetical question ?

    I did, and i will again if you will let me.

    Slowly now.... and read it throughly.

    I wouldnt open any business on christmas day as its family time </end>


    I dont have a clue how a pub operates or what level of business i would expect to receive or lose should i close or open if travellers came to town for the day. therefore i cant really make an informed opinion.

    Perhaps i would make great profit (win)
    Perhaps i would not (lose)

    But as with any business i think i would want knowledge of the playing field first before making a determination.


    Is that fair? I elaborated a wee bit but my reasoning remains the same.

    Rural crime has many forms.

    The number 1 was closing the stations , thats a major problem.

    Underfunding the gardai, Major problem

    Yes, which makes the irony subtle as you weren't mentioning school but a school yard. Subtle. It's a play on what you said. It's right there in the Clifton Strengths Assessment. I'm starting to doubt you even took that...

    What were your results?

    I presume empathy wasnt in it. Give me your key metrics, it might help me understand your point of view.

    Its not though,

    Which is evident as the sector is in decline outside of major urban areas.

    There is threads on it, mup was one thing which i have a problem with. It was brought in to help the sector

    And if you could sell it to people who didn’t want it you’d do that too .

    But they do, Have you read the thread?

    He is a breath of fresh air, he should run FF, he should run Renua.


    Again, have you read the thread ? - It does not matter a jot what you said 5 pages ago, there are various posters who see him as the great new hope of Irish politics. When in fact he is a snake oil salesman, gifted in pulling the wool over punters eyes.

    A certain poster here is making an absolute show of themselves.

    I hope for their sake that it’s just a feeble attempt at derailment because otherwise that is just one sad wretch of an existence.

    I dont know, but i can read articles..

    Do you read articles?

    Do you know the 'sector' is in decline.

    Does this give me insight into the daily operations of a pub ? - No.

    But sure whatever 'you're' having yourself

    Ok. Seeing as you’re not honest enough I’ll answer for you..

    You’d close

    Why ?

    Because you’d be out of business and put yourself and your staff in danger if you didn’t.

    You can’t debate honestly so I can’t take you seriously.

    Hate to break it to you dude but 16 years of Catholic school here - that's not the definition of a messiah.

    He told the truth, that's all I and most of his supporters care about. Personally I think he should stay away from politics and do something useful where he can actually make a change.

    Why do you keep asking people if they have read the thread? I have read more than most and anyone who you view to be praising Casey beyond reason is posting tongue in cheek or reacting to people going to the other extreme and calling him a snake oil salesman.

    Ya see, This is how you attack singular posters who disagree with your premise. There was a poster yesterday attacked and name called . He has not come back.

    Im afraid i dont fall for that nonsense, I can see name calling for what it is.

    Do you have anything to add to the discussion though ?

    Do you have a pub? perhaps i can learn from your inside knowledge it may help me answer some hypothetical question some randomer on the internet dreamth up.
