RE: Irish Water - Will you pay the bills?

im hearing what your saying but i would highly recommend checking out the links i posted earlier. i do think its a much bigger problem than what your saying but that does play a part. ellen brown would explain it far better than i ever could. i whole thing is actually down to the fact, we stupidly handed our monetary control over to private financial institutions and they have no interest in serving us at all. in fact their interests is to make as much money, as quickly as possible on the backs of us all. our politicians are only assisting them in doing so by virtue of fear as far as i can see. ellen brown explains it better

RE: Irish Water - Will you pay the bills?

im actually slowly coming to the conclusion that our whole political system is now defunct. it no longer truly serves us and you have to ask if it ever really did. i have a funny feeling, no matter who you put in there now, they cant change the system. this is deeply worrying if correct

RE: Irish Water - Will you pay the bills?

i personally think democracy is in serious trouble here. on 5th of July the people of greece basically voted against further austerity measures. im glad their politicians listened! we re in trouble here folks. i would highly recommend the work of american economists ellen brown(post 15). shes the best ive found so far with explaining whats going on with all this. its very worrying stuff underneath it all but thankfully ellen brown includes possible solutions to it all in her work.

RE: Living with an aspie

apologies, i only spotted your post now. i think us irish dont deal with mental health and behavioural problems very well but i can understand how these problems could drain a family. i actually think our mental health services and supports for families that are dealing with family members with complicated behavioural problems such as asperger's, are basically, dreadful. theres still a lot we dont know about these problems and it seems like to me, the general population tend to shy away from dealing with such complicated problems as, well, theyre just complicated to understand. i wish you the best with dealing with this problem

RE: Do you think the death penalty should be introduced to Irish courts?

BBC NEWS NOW!

RE: Do you think the death penalty should be introduced to Irish courts?

yea id agree alright. its a tough interview to watch. hes struggling with it all and so would anybody in his position but fair play to him for talking about it. it not an easy subject matter but he has a very important story to tell about this subject. im afraid, we re all human and can change our opinions as life progresses. he could be still doing the job and regretting it more and more. at least he now knows, its not right to execute. it doesnt solve the problem. it only creates more problems. its a very typical human response and solution to a complicated problem of which, we probably still havent found a working solution for. back to the drawing board im afraid.

RE: Do you think the death penalty should be introduced to Irish courts?

again, id highly recommend the video i posted earlier. we should all listen to those that have actually hit the switch! we might learn something!

RE: Europe's African Refugee Crisis

ah our banking system problems are a lot bigger than just france and germany. id highly recommend checking out american economist ellen brown:

RE: What's in your mind part 28

something serious is just about to pop here:

RE: Europe's African Refugee Crisis

you're pretty much hitting the nail on the head there but shush, that makes us westerners look bad! western created debt thats imposed on these countries also plays a big part, but as i said, dont mention that, we re whiter than white here!

RE: Europe's African Refugee Crisis

id have to disagree with some members in saying ireland is a rich country. compared to where these migrants are coming from, probably yes but we re not rich in the way people think. we re actually rich in debt like most countries on this planet. unfortunately like most other countries, our priority is to serve these debts than actually use our money to do more important things like trying to deal with this migrant problem properly. since this is the way the world behaves, unfortunately more people will die during this process.
