Rumples: What is it about today's people who will take needy and desperate measures when times are not that desperate. What is it about living in sluggish and sedentary comfort which makes people vicious online and go off and make impulsive choices. What are they trying to prove?


It's a genuine question. Why do people feel so vulnerable and desperate even tho they're not starving, they've doubtfully never felt the hiss of a speeding bullet, and probably never lost anyone they care about to any of the things they complain about. It's a genuine question to be answered: why are people so needy in a world where all their needs are met?

Ireland was worthy at such time,as my grand daddy would tell me, for the greatness of to fight for hardened land.


And died or ran to the sea.
Hard life.

He ran away to sea at 15.

We're obviously missing something when materially speaking people have never had it so good. The establishment must now feel like sensible accountant who cannot for the life of him understand why his wife has left him when he's given her so much stuff. He'll just see her as ungrateful, restless and bored and she'll feel chronically lonely with such a husband.

And that's it. The establishment is the sensible accountant and Trumpsters are his bored wife seeking the greener grasses of some bad boy who may thrill her in the short-term and let her down mightily in the long-term. Trumpsters are this isolated wife and if any word screams from the writings of Trumpsters then that word is loneliness.

Maybe the more we have the more we need
And it's a burden that we don't recognise

The most at ease I've ever felt in my life was
When I left ireland to live abroad, I sold
Everything I had, house, car whatever

For the first time in my life I'd no possessions
So I'd no bills to worry about or whatever else
That comes with it

It's a great weight off the shoulders having
Nothing but the food in your mouth

Loneliness is a mighty driving force for self indulgence...
The more communication devices you have the less human face to face encounters you get.
Lonely people are the best consumers, they want to wrap themselves in a comfortable blanket of needless stuff to ease the feeling of lack of self importance...

It made men of them, what causes are
15 year olds fighting today

Fighting for the right to fly the ridiculous
Rainbow flag is as good as it gets

Rumples: Hillary lost the election because she's a boring nerd which is ironically probably the reason why many Trumpsters lost their own wives. They don't want to be loyal to the mundanities of marriage or the establishment and they'll do anything, say anything and turn truth on its head to escape their obligations.

The bored wife will character assassinate her boring husband endlessly to justify going off with the bad boy. That's exactly what's happened. Hillary is not a worse person than Trump, not at all, but she is much more boring. And just as a frustrated wife will sink a family for a fleeting thrill with a bad boy so too will a restless electorate for a blip of buzz. They will sacrifice everything for a transitory feeling of excitement and significance.


And it'll teach me for trying to be tactical in politics. The bad boy was only supposed to get close enough to threaten the family, not smash it apart, so that the nerd feeling the threats takes account of the needs of her significant other.

Trump was supposed to be a wake-up call not an actual leader. This scene encompasses my feelings on everything that's happened with Trump:

Apologies for bringing up things not related to the Irish famine. Just making the point that to elect Trump there should have already been a famine, then being desperate and needy would make some sense.

We have all done it ...(went off topic)

But saying that...perhaps desperate means something different to some Americans... dunno

OK. (just making another point)
How tiring!

Many know.

From surrounding countries/counties.

Creeping deep at the doorstep of hunger.
Its a saddened Wave on all leaders
It will never halt the crucified divided


It leaves many to decide to simply die.
This is wrong!
