RE: Manors, do people still practice being polite anymore ?

We being Irish would recognise this one: "Hi how are ya!!" to which one has less than 2 seconds to respond with "Fine thanks", even though you're rolling on the floor in excruciating pain with some undiscovered death threatening tropical disease. That kind of insincerety really gets up my nose. Why bother asking the person 'how they are' when you haven't the time nor the interest to actually find out?

RE: what do i do about my car?

Honesty is always the best policy. How would you like it if you were the buyer of that car, and later found it had been crashed and had never been told about it? This is something which shouldn't even arise if you claim to be an honest person.

By all means tell the garage that it was just superficial damage that was caused and only new parts were used in the repair. If it's found out afterwards, and proven, which would be easy to do, the garage could in fact sue you for a fraudulent act.

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

It makes me laugh to see American Republicans constantly whining about the Democrats ...... there have been MORE Republican Presdents and Administrations that Democrat ones - and then they wonder WHY the country is in a mess!!

It has NEVER been the responsibility of a President or Govdernment to create jobs. All an Administration/Government can do is to try and ensure that the right workable Policies are in place to enable employment to take place - obviously the Village Idiot and his equally idiotic advisors were completely ignorant of this. So perhaps the whining lazy Republicans should take note, and get off their lazy butts and start creating Jobs .... since they perceive themselves to have ALL the answers.

RE: have you ever had a near death experience??

When I was 7 years old, I came home 2 hours late for dinner. My mother greeted me at the back door with the frying pan .......and that's as close to death I ever want to come ........... for now!!

RE: Quantus airlines

Aer Lingus is the only airline not to have had an accident ...... and being shot out of the syk does not constitute an accident.

RE: what is the best thing to do if you are feeling bored?

Well she's blowing enough hot air to be able to play one!!

RE: Dilemma of a married person?

There's nothing wrong at looking at the menu - so long as you go home for dinner, and keep your eyes off the desert tray

RE: dose anyone wanna date this???????

How the hell can anyone date her .... unless she has a translator!!

RE: Interpretating Dreams

RE: marrage

Does he intend to marry you before he meets you?

RE: What race or nationality was Jesus??

What a question!!! ..... it's a well established historical FACT that Jesus is Irish - we just let the Jews take the blame

He hung around with the lads:
He was always stirring things up:
He never had a girlfriend or got married:
He never owned a house:
He worked with his father:
AND!! He lived at home with His Mother until He was 30!!

Now whose going to tell me that He WASN'T IRISH!! And since He rose from the dead, it proves the old addage ... You'll NEVER beat the Irish!!

RE: I have a question for the guys

That's NOT bigamy ....... that's being PURE LUCKY!! or the art of Maschosim being perfected

I think, and this is my only thought for the day otherwise I'll get a headache ........ that people who are 'separated' and 'looking' are probably in denial - denial of the fact that they are still married. They most likely feel that by 'moving on' they are leaving the past behind, even though it is still very much in the 'present'. The fact that they are separated for a number of years, begs the question as to 'WHY'?

RE: Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

You definitely NEED a husband!!

RE: Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Well Done!!! now you can graduate to 6th Grade!! ..... but you can't use a calculator in that grade.

Male Rules ...... Ladies, take NOTE!

Well!!! .......... That certainly silenced the ladies!!!

Male Rules ...... Ladies, take NOTE!

We always hear "The Rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about your leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as soccer, rugby, snooker, golf or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.


Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

RE: Someone tell a joke.....

A blind man makes his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender,
"Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair ...given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters,
"Nah...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

"...... However, at Fields' retrial, Judge Vincent Gaughan found Hawkins "incredible," saying that "If someone has such disregard for human life, what regard will he have for his oath?" ....."


Perhaps, the Judiciary should consider their position too, with regard to their Oath.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

That's a matter of opinion - but Truth always has a habit of finding its target - high or low.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

You do not live in a "non-civilised world" - you do unfortunately live in a 'non-civilised country' ........ don't bunch the rest of us in with you.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

It's interesting how Civilised Countries don't have the death penalty ....... so much for US 'democracy' ...right!!

RE: Dating Standards

(3) Does she have mega $$$$

RE: Is there any point in posting thread topics....

What is frustrating, is when people post comments which have nothing to do with the thread. If they want to say 'Hi' to someone, then they should send an email or IM them. There have been a few good topics which have been ruined by people 'hijacking' the thread, and the rest loose interest in the topic because the continuity is gone.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

Relying on Scientific evidence is extreemly dangerous, since science is not perfect.

Many here may not remember the late 70's & 80's, during the IRA war in Northern Ireland. A bomb was set off in a Bar in Birmingham (England)where several people were killed. Sometime later 6 people were arrested and convicted on scientific evidence, of having set the bomb. The scientific evidence was that 'traces of glycerene' were found on the hands of the accused. Glicerien is a component of Nitro Glycerene. They were sentenced to life imrpisonment. There were two main problems with the scientific evidence which didn't come out until 14 years later - (1) the accused had only moved into the area two days before the explosion - and had never visited the Bar. (2) the Glycerene trace found on their hands was exactly the same trace anyone would have who held or played with a deck of cards.

After several years, they were completely exhonerated of any involvement in that attrocity, and compensated by the British Government for wrongful imprisonment. They're known as "The Birmingham 6" ...... and there were others who were 'caught' by faulty scientific evidence; such as: The Maguier 7 and the Guildford 4.

The point I'm making here is that if the death penalty was available in England, and was used in all of these cases 17 totally innocent people would have been executed.

People say that the death penalty can bring 'closure' for the victims families ...... where would the closure have been for those English families, when they found out that the wrong people were executed? It would have put them in a worse position, knowing that the 'killers' would never be caught and 17 innocent people died for nothing!!

The principle of 'justice' is not, an eye for an eye.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

The Death Penalty has never served 'justice' for the victims - it is merely the States method of exacting revenge. Taking the life of the offender has never acted as a deterrent for others, and no one has the 'right' to end the life of another no matter what the circumstances are.

In today's world, the excuse of using the death penalty as a means of 'protecting society' is absolute nonsense. Criminals can are are kept in jails for periods which they will never be able to serve. If Madoff can get 150 years for Fraud, then I see nothing wrong giving the same minimum sentence for Murder. The death penalty has never eased the pain of the victim or their families - revenge never does.

RE: I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!

You never said what you were going to Read at University. I noticed from your profile that you're a 'Libra' so 'failure' is NOT an option to even be considered Enjoy every minute of it and study well - not hard. Ohhhh and the odd Prayer wouldn't do any harm either

RE: I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!

There's a lot of good advice already given - but the advice given to me when going into Uni was (1) it's what you learn from DAY ONE that counts - NOT what you cram in, in the last term. (2) Make good friends, generally, but particularly with the one who can take copious amounts of notes - then photocopy them and from experience - join Campus Societies which are of interest to you and can benefit you, both accademically and socially. They are most likely the people you will work with, or need, during your career when you Graduate.

Remember, University is the beginning of a continuing advanced learning process - experience comes afterwards ........ so enjoy every minute of it, and study well - you may never get such a chance again.
