Has boards became a totally one sided site.

its a strange place at present. For a site that involves discussion, yet is dying a death compared to its heyday, I've never seen so many long time posters being reprimanded.

Here we have it now one of the left tactics, brand anyone who disagrees with them as racist and uneducated.

Then random generalisations that you can't have any idea about who has family living abroad.

I suppose you hate the far right spreading misinformation while your here doing the same.

Irony is the right word.

I'm certainly not left.

It's what I see.

Trying to explain to someone who worked under the radar in Australia for 3 years that he was an illegal immigrant there, yet that same person was involved in protests in Naas recently.

The eejit was so thick he couldn't understand the irony of it. Probably explains why he is unemployed in a full employment economy.

Look at anyone arrested for violent actions at protests - most are unemployed. Pure thick.

Unless that poster is posting in immigration threads on boards then I have no idea what relevance that has to this thread or my post.

If you don't want to turn boards.ie into the daily mail comments section, then there has to be strict moderation on these kinds of topics.

What is unusual is that the rules are demonstrably not applied evenly.

Apply the rules evenly and you won't have grounds for complaint, it's that simple.

Posts like this show where the real hatred lies. You should examine your prejudices as name calling anyone who disagrees with your opinions is the mark of an uneducated person. Luckily, you are in the extreme minority so won't have any say in the future of a democratic country like Ireland.

Are people who want the elected officials to resolve the problems in Irish society, before they try and resolve ‘global issues’, now racist ?

So should we feed, home, educate and provide health care for long standing Irish tax payers before we try and do the same for others ?

Or are we asking how can the elected officials find money to provide for non nationals but can’t find money to solve the housing and health care issues that exist for generations of Irish tax payers ?

Do we simply need to look at what private enterprises financially benefit from the provisions to non generational Irish tax payers ?

Am I racist because I want the government of Ireland to resolve the issues of the people that have paid tax for 50 years and for their children before they look to solve other peoples problems ?

One and done post from me here.

When there is an Islamic terrorist attack the motive and underlying cause of these attacks is not allowed to be discussed.

Like trying to talk about flood damage but not being able to mention water rain or rivers.

That not just here that is everywhere the knife attack in the Dublin back in October was a prime example the riot was the story the attack was totally forgotten and anybody who mentioned it was supporting the riots .

You say you want to talk about cause and effect, And yet most anti immigration types are also opposed to action on climate change, are pro war, and oppose international development aid or debt relief for developing countries (these are the reasons why people are and will be pushed to emigrate in the first place)

I think another trend is that we cannot have any discussion that is critical of Islam. Everytime there is an Islamic attack in Europe (Which unfortunatley is becoming more common), you are not allowed to point out the fact that it was not an 'isolated attack' but an attack by a certain section of society who do not agree with western values

Overzealous mods bordering on thought police, they are a bit like VAR, zero tolerance, debate killing... something clearly going awry when the majority of posters in a thread are banned. I guess the HR department will have something to say about it.
