Killiney isn't that near Ballymun but when I drive up quickly in my Bentley it only takes a few minutes while I pass Ballymun to go to the airport for a weekend in Monaco.
I might be working class but dat dont meen I ain't got dollars. Right bud?
You I presume live in a stone cottage on the curragh away from civilised people going out to the outdoor jax and not having electricity as you want to keep your confirmation money like all culchies were told to do.
Yes there is widespread class snobbery and oppression rampant in Dublin.
Snobby D4 types with West Brit accents who send their kids to Gael scoils, or fee paying schools (keeps the riff raff out) have always looked down on salt of the earth working class people who would give their last schilling to a neighbour for a pint of Guinness for their sick father.
If you don't have "the accent" and "the address" those snobs look down on you.
NOW THAT'S APARTHEID. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There has always been a Burlington wall keeping the working class from social mobility to the middle classes.
Working class Dubs are made to feel ashamed of their accents by the establishment and are sneered at by their "betters" who think everyone from a working class background is called Anto or Damo or Tracey or Sharon.
I don't think they are in fear of the banks, I think they and their political parties do very well from the banks.
One td who whose party wasn't even in power during the celtic tiger got loans from a bank that were soft loans. He did not have to repay capital just interest and if things didn't work out he could hand the keys of the house to the bank and suffer no loss. That's how politicians make money. What did banks do for tds that were in power?
From memory charlie hockey and gary fitsgerild got loans written off for them by banks despite being wealthier than people with small loans and visas who the banks go after.
I would be interested in knowing how much banks donated in the interests of democracy to the main political parties over the years.
We live in a democracy where the people we vote in lie to us and threaten us with fines and jail if we don't give them our money to squander and do as we are told.
They don't represent us, they look out for themselves. It's a charade.
Thanks Freud. So are women supposed to want to sleep with their father and kill their mother? or is it only that men are supposed to want to sleep with their mother and kill their father? or are women supposed to want to sleep with their mother and kill their father also?
The problem is that the money expenses pension money from being part of lots of committees and going on to boards and quangos when they leave means that they stop wanting to change things and want things to stay the way they are as they are making so much money out of it.
We need less money for politicians so they have to do the right thing to get reelected. They get so much money now it doesn't make any difference whether they get reelected; they are made for life by hanging in there for 5 years.
We also have so many people with an interest in voting for the two business parties while the poor don't vote or spread their vote over so many independents and small parties.
Women like yourself Anna want that mutual respect caring way but some women are attracted to men for their power and are only happy when those men show their power to them, even if means being boss over them. So for some women, treating them mean might keep them keen while treating them nice might keep them mean.
This is the thing Bird1977, not all birds are nice, a lot aren't and they are the ones who need to be kept in line, otherwise they will end up treating their men like women and walking all over them.
You need a pair alright or women won't respect you.
