2020 Ireland Election FIANNA FÁIL-FINE GAEL-GREEN COALITION

[Bomberboyokay]

Is Gibraltar in England?

No.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

I have no love for the US so not sure why you felt the need to bring them up. The IRA are gutless parasites who don't represent the views of the people they pretend to be fighting for.

Is it ok that I don't want a minority blowing up train stations, city centres and hospitals in a country where I live?

So no different to the US Government then

Now back to that delivery mechanism, thoughts?

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Wikipedia defines it better than I could:

• The use of violence or of the threat of violence in the pursuit of political, religious, ideological or social objectives

Yep, The good old USA

 

[Taylor]

I think if you will set off bombs to kill indiscriminately then you write your own name on a list of people who can get gunned down for planning an attack.

Derek Wood and David Howes like this.

You're a twisted person, that was pure revenge.

 

[Seeds]

Maybe we should just put all the homeless in with medusala and see what he thinks it is like to live in overcrowded accommodation..

Terrible. But still have a roof over their head and a bed.

Bit of a difference to sleeping on a park bench outside.

Barely a roof over their head and at a premium thanks to the capitalist rent market.

Now back to that delivery mechanism, thoughts?

Whataboutism at its finest. I don't care for the USA. I have given you my thoughts about the IRA and their delivery mechanisms are well known and scrutinised. Kidnapping people and forcing them to kill others and blow people up with their families at gunpoint seems to be fine for some on here.

If you want to learn about US foreign policy then read 'War is a Racket'.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

I remember a being told a story about tracking IRA members into Gibraltar and then dispatching them prior to their bombing plans being put into action.

Is Gibraltar in England? That event should probably count.

Gibraltar is a U.K territory and permanent naval asset that sits at the chokepoint where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. There are military bases there.

 

[medusala]

Barely a roof over their head and at a premium thanks to the capitalist rent market.

I read somewhere that foreign buyers have been buying heavily and affected prices. Would make sense, there a heap of new apartments near where I live that are foreign owned and empty.

Im all for the free market but this one area I think that the govt should enter ie by prohibiting OS ownership. Bandaid solutions like empty home taxes and rent controls either dont work or do more harm than good.

 

[Chief]

Except it isn't a "blatant lie", you're declaring it as such to suit your own agenda. Do you seriously think homeless people have to be those sleeping on the streets? Those in homeless shelters or DV shelters have a roof over their heads and regular accommodation, it doesn't magically make them not homeless. Penniless students sleeping ten to a room do not have an existence that can in any way be described as comfortable or secure, and are very much in danger of having to sleep on the streets, just as those in homeless shelters are. To make it purely about who has a roof over their head or not rather than insecurity and risk, is to cheapen the issue to the point that the statistics would no longer be useful for addressing the issue.

The paradox of a homeless shelter: soon as they get a bed they aren’t homeless any more, and should be turned out for the REAL homeless. There is an industry of housed people claiming homelessness, and all the rewards this entails. It has got to stop!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Oh that's cute, you think they have beds when they're sleeping 10 to a room?

The point of homeless shelter is to make homeless people not homeless. Kind of like the point of giving a starving person food is to make them not starving.

Oh thats cute when you think overcrowded housing you are envisaging those 100 thousand people all sleeping in a Dickens novel With 10 to a tiny room.

The Australian housing crisis no one is talking about

Living in severely crowded dwellings has been described as the most common form of homelessness, with Australian media describing situations of ‘10 people in a two-bed unit’. More needs to be done

www.independent.co.uk

“10 people shoehorned into one bedroom, tenants sleeping in bathrooms, and in one case, a pantry”.

But yeah, go on thinking it's all sunshine and roses in those houses.

Irish general election: Fianna Fáil rules out Sinn Féin talks

Fianna Fáil's parliamentary party says it will not back Sinn Féin in government in the Republic of Ireland.

www.bbc.com

If Fianna Fail refuses to make a deal with Sinn Fein, the choices are either a FF-FG coalition or a new election.

So you pick the most extreme examples and assume thats the standard for the 100 thousand. No thats the extreme. And those people in the extreme examples would have beds. They will be putting multiple beds and bunks in rooms. None of these people are homeless.

Prove it. How do you know this, are you a slumlord?

 

[Present Not Past]

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. If history had a different outcome, George Washington would have been derided as a terrorist.

Exactly. The IRA originated from the Irish nationalists who took up arms to fight the British armed forces in the Irish War of Independence.
Some were fighting British troops with whom they had served with in World War I.

Because its a fricken newspaper and they always pick the extreme examples to talk about. Dont pretend to be so naive.

I asked for proof, you can't provide any, good show.

 

[Pessimistic]

Socialist nationalism I wonder where history suggests that leads?

 

[Pessimistic]

Easy for you to say. The IRA are cowards who leave bombs in shopping centres and blow up innocent people as well as their own. They also love executing innocent people when they aren't looking. But keep defending them.

as were the american fighter in the war of independence

Have you ever defended the USA?
