Is Immigration to Ireland OUT OF CONTROL. Ireland is Full.
It looks like things are out of control in Ireland. Many videos of violence theft and destruction there in the link below.
"Is immigration to Ireland 'out of control'?
Many in the land of a 'hundred thousand welcomes' are worriedWhile the UK has grappled with contentious migration legislation, immigration has barely featured in public discourse across the Irish Sea. Now, that could be about to change, Stephen Murphy writes."

What economy?
Things are booming. Uh huh. That is why people are getting evicted and homeless and are maxing cards and pay laters for Christmas shopping when they still haven't paid off last years.
I had a dentist appt so had to tough it out and leave farm to head into town. Well, if I HAVE to go to town, might as well catch up shopping.
Stopped at Goodwill. First time in over two years. Why did I bother?
Prices on clothes are half of new prices in box stores. They are now peddling lots of new items. Bad enough to ask double the price the dollar store asked, but I should shop like a regular store too. Not!
Went to Dollar Tree. Gee, guess they finally got the Christmas inventory.
Couldn't find what I wanted so total was small. Some things are a good deal. Others?
Wow... 1.25 for glittered styrofoam or paper.
Went to Wally world. Inflation is down? Someone should tell them. Friend likes Miracle Whip. Idea for gifting. Oh now I see why he won't spend the cash. $5.38 for oil and flavoring. And same price for mayo with eggs and cream. Pass!
I checked clearance prices on clothes. Yep..that is not going home either. And since when do they charge 25-50 for a garment?
I spent 158 and part was for gifting. Or pantry stocks. I have no idea how a family can afford to eat. Of course fast food workers in Cali got a raise to $20 an hour.

What's so special about Johnny
Last week here in Ireland a single unmarried man was granted a widowers pension ...
all I could think was WTF
doesn't anything hold up anymore these days, or is this societies way to discredit marriage, with the hope maybe to abolish it
When Johnny met the love of his life, for whatever reason they never married, had three lovely children, shared a mortgage.. in total they were cohabiting 20yrs together.
Unfortunately 2018/19 she developed breast cancer, that's when after nearly 18yrs living together they decided to get married, unfortunately though in December 2019 she developed Covid and shortly afterwards died resulting in they never got married.
He thinking he had the right, applied for the widowers pension grant, when he was refused he took it to the supreme court and won.
Not that I'm without sympathy for the man and his loss, but in my books that's not right at all. When he wasn't married he was not entitled to it, simple as, end of
what's anyone's opinion on this???
Johnny is a very clever man is what I think.

Imbecile
So this one cretin of a user highcrest 777 decides to abuse me calling me an imbecile and unmannerly because I politely told him to seek someone closer to his age. The guy says he is 49 but looks 99.
Men need to respect women even when she declines his unwanted advances.
PS. Highcrest777 go sit by the window and wait for your retirement cheque instead of harassing women online.

One is wrong and the other isn't?
Russia invaded the Ukraine. They have destroyed homes, and killed civilians. Even the ones who liked them. A good portion of the world's countries vilify Russia. They rush to help the Ukraine and cut Russia off from the world.
So they get called a terrorist nation. Yet, Israel does the same to Palestinians and everyone looks the other way. More and more I see Israel as a terrorist nation. And I thought they got rid of Netinyaho or however you spell his name. Instead of being happy that land was yanked from the Palestinians who lived there to make a country for the Jews...they got greedy and want it all to the sea.
Why do they get to do what they want in the OCCUPIED west bank and say it is their right to build. Yet the rest of the world either lets them get away with similar to Russia or pat them on the head.
I don't get it.

Names of Children and Why?
If you were to have children with your spouse, or if you are considering having children, what names would you choose if the child was a boy or a girl? What does the name mean? Why did you choose this name?
For me, if I had a boy and a girl, my son would carry the name Rytsar (Russian for "knight"). My daughter would be called Reka (Russian for "river"). Mind you, these are just ideas and not finalized; if I ever find my spouse, we would both find a name for our children.

Media Manipulation
Can you think of any examples of media manipulation happening today? Feel free to post.
Haters / thumbsdowners
When I first found our about this site 7 or 8 years ago, I was looking for a partner.
I didn't find a partner, but as a practice of mine on datingsites, I'd delete my profile after a few months, stay away a few months or a year, and start again.
The reason why I kept coming back to CS, was because I even thought I wasn't a member, I still enjoyed reading the inspirational blogs, forums and recipes, but couldn't comment on anything.
These days, the blog and forums are filled with haters/thumbsdowners, abusive name calling and yes, the scammers, because even they have found their way here.... all because the harmony, which was once alive in the blogs etc. seems to be gone.
True, it wasn't always chocolate and roses in the blogs and forums, but atleast discrepancies were discussed in a much more civilised manner than now. Most of the good writers from then have either died, been blocked from the site, or just have enough of the behaviour and left, or don't bother to write anymore, but still use the site.
Time to be civilised again, before CS either decides to become a paying site or close the blogs, forums etc., I assume we're all adults on this site, so here's a tip: In this life, not everyone's gonna like us or agree with what we have to say or write, so grow up, and get over it, as it's all a part of human nature. Stop hiding behind the internet to spread hatred / thumbsdowners.
Make CS a place where it's fun to come and be inspired by the writers again, not a place where you're getting put down, because others are dissatisfied in their own real miserable life!!!!!.....it doesn't mean you have to do the same here for others. JMPOV. They say karma is a bit$h, so be careful it doesn't come back to bite you in real life.
I'm gonna get quite a few "thumbsdown" for this blog, but you know what: I'm strong enough to handle such cowardice, as none of you are brave enough to write on a blog or forum "hey, it's me, xyz who gave a thumbsdown on your writing, I did it because of adcd..." so IDGAS.
I was brave enough to do it, the 1 time I gave a thumbsdown, as the remark to the blog in question, was rightly deserving of it. Unfortunately, the OP of the blog, deleted my comment, but left the reason for my comment on his blog.

Sage's advise, cheeky, cheeky, but all so very true
Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started
out as a basket case.
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.
Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.
When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.
People are funny; they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and
the back of the church.
Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.
Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.
If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
Peace starts with a smile.
I don't know why some people change churches; what difference does
it make which one you stay home from?
A lot of church members who are singing "Standing on the Promises"
are just sitting on the premises.
We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
Be ye fishers of men. You catch them - He'll clean them.
Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
Don't put a question mark where God put a period.
Don't wait for 6 strong men to take you to church.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God grades on the cross, not the curve.
God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts!"
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you!
If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!
Prayer: Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!
The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.
The Will of God never takes you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.
We don't change the message, the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.
The best mathematical equation I have ever seen:
1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.

Forest Gump is going home, this is funny and smart
FORREST GUMP goes to HEAVEN
The day finally arrived when Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.
He met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard
a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and
we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test
is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever
told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard.
Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees
St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a chance to
think the questions over, tell me your answers."
Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with
the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not what I was
thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you
credit for that answer.
How about the next one?" asked St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?
Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that,
and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name
could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd,
March 2nd... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your
point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you
credit for that one, too.
Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?
"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."
"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two
questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy
as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song,
"ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."
Give us a sense of humor, Lord.
Give us the ability to understand,
And put humor in our life,
And -- pass it on to other folk.
