I've come to the conclusion that a lot of women would not know a good guy if he was to wear a tshirt with what one is written on it.
They have been way too influenced by popular movies, magazines, soaps. They forget what a fantasy world that is and judge everyday guys against film-stars.
Yes! Wedward. This is quite true. The spread of a language is organic and English seems to be the common language within a large part of the World. It is also a language that is evolving day by day with new words being added at an extremely fast pace.
To the other comments that say that any one language is better or worse for expressing oneself is nonsense, language is merely the medium of expression. This is purely a subjective aesthetic judgement.
Exactly. There is no God. A cultural/Psychological yearning for a higher being has been used and abused for thousands of years. "I am connected to God" is what a lot of believers say. I am connected to Don Corleone, George W. Bush, The Pope Oh and I know Mick Jagger too. Power by association.
There has been a God gene identified, This says it all.
We were told here by our Government before the Referendum that the only people who would support the No vote were extreme left wing groups. Now today we are being told by the EU that the only people in The EU who support our No vote is extreme left wing groups!
The reasons for voting no here are diverse. The Militarisation of the EU was probably one of the most important points discussed by people here. As one of the few European countries that has never had a history of colonisation as well its policy of neutrality, it is feared by many people here that with a military force in Europe would eventually lead to War.
The focus now here is not on our Government but very much on the EU Commission, They told us this Treaty could not go ahead without our ratification, now they say it will with 26 countries. This appears to be completely contrary to section 48. And why the urgency to get this through? This is one of the most successful bloc's in the world since the signing of the Treaty of Rome, It has not fallen apart without a constitution.
I think we are all heading for difficult times economically regardless, and even if we in Ireland are heading for worse than the rest of Europe, well we survived them before and we will again.
Personally I have not been very impressed by the recent boom in the Irish economy. It has allowed too many greedy people to have power.
It now seems that The EU Commission will go ahead and have 26 Countries instead of 27 This was not what we were led to believe. If this goes ahead I think it would be fine, We are such a small part of Europe that we would not be missed. I feel sure that there would still be the possibility of joining at a later stage surely if we were to change our mind.
Go raibh maith agat, This is my main gripe with this document, I do not like leaving it up to various legal interpreters to translate what it means, too ambiguous.
We did indeed receive a lot of money from the EU. We are also prepared to repay that money as we will have to start paying into the EU very soon and proper order, this is the way it should be. I also feel personally that we do not need any special status as regards Tax concessions, CAP etc. I wish for us to be treated as equals in The EU.
The 40billion does not buy this vote though!
I have not seen Stat's on the election as yet and this is an interesting question that will be answered in the coming weeks, The reason for voting no were complex and varied.
Yes Conrad, a lot of us are tired of being pissed on!
I also read your posts Jovian and Marie, and what is being said here by you people, is no different to what the people around me are saying.
It is extraordinary that the views of the people here on this site represent the feelings of the Irish people so much more that our representatives in Power. Wonder should I send them an invitation?
