RE: What Country is the most Free...?

Europe is not a Country! Asia is not a country!S. America is not a country and Scandinavia is not a country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why have you put Australia / NZ as one choice???? Would you put America and Canada as one choice???? Australia and NZ are as different as America and Mexico! I suggest you buy a world globe.

RE: WHO`S GOING TO WIN THE PREMIERSHIP 2009/2010???

Give the Ref and Linesmen from Saturdays game a medal. They have decided the Premiership with their shocking decisions on the day.

RE: It's never too late...

You say Cynic. I say realist.

RE: It's never too late...

Or maybe they decided to settle.

RE: Wear an Easter Lilly

I would have no problem wearing one but you can only buy them from Sinn Fein. I am not giving them money.

RE: Israel: Partner for Peace or Quest for Global Domination

Drive them out? The Palestinians are there longer than the Israelis. It would be like you lot driving the Native Americans out of their land.
Just remembered you already did that.

RE: Coloured/Latino/Hispanic Women

I think men are automatically attracted to another race for some reason. I agree that Indian, Pakistani, Black, Hispanic women can be stunning. That one from Modern Family is just and the hispanic lady from Without a Trace is the same.

But have you noticed you see a lot of rich and famous Asian, Hispanic and Black guys with White women. They must feel the same as we do but in opposite if you know what i mean. Mother natures works in many mysterious and wonderfull ways!!!! Sure we are all pink on the inside.

RE: What are you listening to right now?

I am listening to Massive Attack - Mezzanine

RE: does CS become just a habbit...

He could send them a message by E Card? You can put a private pic of yourself on one of those things. Having a pic up is not for everyone and I totally respect that.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

I agree but they had the same fears in the UK when introducing 24 hour drinking in some cities. It was only on a trial basis at first. They found that after a month or so the novelty of 24 hour drinking wore out and people started to drink slower. Because they drank slower they did not get as drunk. They were not guzzling pints because they knew they could take their time.

Also they were not all spilling out at the same time so there were less fights. People were not all queing for cabs or in a fast food place at the same time. People still left the pub at a reasonable hour if they had work the next day. I think eventually it would work out better for us. Like do you not think its crazy that the government tells us when we can buy a drink and when we can't.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

So whats your point? So on that thinking Pubs should be banned altogether? I don't get what you're trying to say. People proabably drink more at home on Good Friday and Christmas day than they would in the pub. People still end up drunk, being abusive, missing work and going to A&E so I dont see your point?

RE: ???!!!~~D e r r y~~!!!???

Talented? You can just copy and paste those from lots of sites.

RE: ???!!!~~D e r r y~~!!!???

You like a mature debate? Threads you have started are "would you date a woman who had 3 kids by 3 men", " Would you date an overweight person" and "What do you think of the unemployed" It is so obvious to everyone you like an argument and thats why you start threads like that.
You call me immature? After starting threads like that and saying fat people smell? And I do believe you threw the first insult by calling me a bigot? So I suggest you crawl back into whatever hole you came from.

RE: ???!!!~~D e r r y~~!!!???

I am not your friend. And you are not a gentleman! I was talking truth not all puppies and butterflys. Now go away and start one of your usual argumentitive threads. You horrible little man.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

Last time beacuse I keep repeating myself. We don't need the pubs open ANY day of the year. Just like we don't need TV any day, we don't need the radio. We want them. And because there is demand they should open. TV and Radio is a luxery but people still have to work Xmas day.

RE: Good Friday

There is no way I will get through the crate. I might drink 12 or so. I will have the rest over the long weekend. I will need some curers on Saturday morning anyway.

RE: Good Friday

Download a few movies. Why give Xtra Vision you money. Nothing worse than doing 8 hours when you have not slept and have a bad hangover. I have been there.
If I was only workin a few hours I would risk it though. Are you doing a full shift?

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

No. Most people who go to pubs would love them to open on Christmas day. They open in the UK and always do a roaring trade. I think even if they opened until 6pm or something it would be good. Christmas day is so boring really.

RE: Good Friday

24 cans will definitely last me all day. 21 pints of Cider in one day is well enough for any man i reckon.

RE: Good Friday

Sure you could get back from Tipp in a couple of hours. Go to the party.

RE: Good Friday

Getting a crate of Bulmers and heading to a friends foe an all day paaaaaaaarrrrrrtttttttyyyyyyyyy.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

They are like all workers, they have 2 guarenteed days off a week by law. You are talking like pub workers are forced to work 7 days a week. They are not. They get 2 days off if they want them like the rest of us.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

TV is a luxery. People work in that on Xmas day. Radio is a luxery. People work in that on Xmas day. I could hgo on and on. That argument does not stand up.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

PUBS DONT need TO BE OPEN ANYDAY????? So that argument is null and void. Drinking any day is not a necessity?????
I am talking about demand. There is demand for pubs to open Xmas day. There is no demand for Banks, Schools and Colleges?

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

I would open all hospitality palces. Why would schools, banks or colleges need to open. There is no demand for those to open. Now you are grasping at straws with an argument like that. And all Hospitals are open on Christmas day.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

I worked in IT for Dunnes stores until recently. IU had to be in over Christmas to make sure the prices for the sales had gone through. The sale started on the 26th so I had to do up to 4 hours Xmas day. Thats life. Nobody is entitled to a guarenteed day off nowadays.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

I don't want to repeat myself but do Hotel Staff, Doctors, Nurses, Police, Phone Workers, TV workers, Radio Staff, ESB workers, Board Gais worker, Footballers........Not deserve a personal life? They all work on Christmas day. If you take that job you know what housr you will have to work.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

My local Garage opens every day. Also what about Hotel workers, Airport workers? Airline workers? Police? ...There are sooooooo many....... When you choose top work in hospitality or certain areas you know you will have strange hours.

RE: just wondering are the pubs closed at 12 tonight

Yes. Pubs in the UK open 365 days a year and 366 on a leap year. And certain pubs are open 24 hours in the big cities. You get a lot of people who work weird shifts drinks in them at strange hours but they deserve a social life too. The licenceing laws in Ireland are dated and need to be looked at.
