thats my man , keep putting the horse in his place , send him back to the reservation.

Do Not grieve. Misfortunes will happen to the wisest and best of men. Death will come, always out of season. It is the command of the Great Spirit, and all nations and people must obey. What is past is past and what cannot be prevented should not be grieved for..."

In response to the original question,do people actually like rugby? I used to but don t any more,think its gone very bland and predictable. I ve been to fair few games and have been hugely disappointed not only in the actual game but in the atmoshere too. although the amount of bandwagon merchants that populate rugby games these days might account for lack of atmosphere.Think that the most impressive part of modern rugby is the advertising machine which makes it out to be the greatest spectacle on earth

I suppose I would have little appreciation for rugby,mostly because I never played it as a young lad.All sports are great for those who love them.

Ta - i never got a break in life i took chances and worked 16 hour days, i destest people who relay on others for their existence when them seem to think someone actually handed something to me. most people just rely on other to provide a living for them and never take any risks and when they are in work they live and die by the clock- the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary! if people are struggling get off their ***** and do something about it and i dont mean moan and look for more handout i mean get out there volunteer for work- work for free get and job and work hard at it- imagine the average person work crica 35 hours a week and invest nothing but their time in a job wheras other better people do whever it takes to succeed and yet they are looked down upon for working round the clock in the beinging mostly for no pay and when they get that success they deserve people label them as lucky- its total rubbish. I call this the ronan o gara scenarion: where everyone would love to be kicking the winning drop goal for the grand slam but how many of them are prepaired to but in the work needed to get there. working 35-40 hours a week is absolutely nothing so if people dont put in the effort why should they get the rewards

It was a pyrrhic victory.. but i'm sure you can feel an empathy with people whose country has been occupied and their rights abused no matter what part of the world they live in and i knowyou never belittle their plight as others do to yours

Ta if i pay for something i wshould well be entitled to say how its spent- i dont want my tax spent of welfare cases and medical card holders- you say i am wrong to say this- why? but in the same breat you say its ok for such people to say how i should spend my own money? you have a very weird view on housing- you own a house only when its paid for until then the lender own the house and rightly so. you you spend loads on money on houses to let someone live in them for nothing- dont be ridiculous! people dont ned a little break ie more handouts, they need to get up off their lazy ***** and make somthing of themselves and stop relying on others- i am disgusted that i am a supposed welfare reciepient through child benefit- i dont want any handout so i have it directly given to IBEC so its put to the best use in assiting businesses.

So anyways back to the the national sport- healsip back in should add pace but lees of an impact on the ground- however crashing into men his own size in the french midfiled suggest that he may be less effective in this game consideing the size of the french midfield.

so o leary got a knock in the back at training- i was speaking to gert small last night and its touch and go and o leary was off for a scan- with a mediorce french back row the introduction of readdan would not make much difference in defence but would speed up the attack no end!

the excitment is building- off to dublin today- cant wait temple bar, casions, and generally a good time - i have the buzz already :)

i actually tried to reason with you and coming from a personal level , but it seems it was a waste of time, but thats your outlook on life sadly and your opinion which you are entitled to have , but there you go maybe more experience and tribulations in life might change you a little we will see .

Ta to be fair i cant see why i would ever dream of changing: You are a socialist i.e. you believe i should somehow willingly hand oveer the money i have for the betterment of society as some sort of gesture of the greater good and so on. I am a Capitalist i.e where i believe people should pay their own way in life and why should i pay the way for someone who hasnt worked as hard as me in life.

Basically you believe i should care about the well being of someone i dont know through welfare etc. where people are consider somehow special, wheras i believe the total opposite that people are a resource and their labour should be traded on open markets and if people dont contribute to society well there should be no safety net and they should be let die off. Are either of us right or wrong - who knows! are either of us going to change- probably not! At the end of the day its good to have alternative views its makes the worlk go round- what would be definately wrong is that if neither or one view existed along at that would lead to total stalemate- if pure socialism existed the entire world would dry up and the human race would die off, if pure capitalism existed the population would reduce by about 80% but there would be noone to fund the seeds of capitalism and the human race would die out as tjhere would be no consumers- so basically i am say we are both as right and as wrong as the other!

i believe people ideally should pay there way as well , were do you start the blame game here , a useless father abandoning his children and not providing for them , or a mother who is left to pick up the piecies and try and build a life for her and her children , do you think that a family like that should be persecuted more because they have already been let down in the breakup of a marriage , i payed a lot of tax into the system over the years , and i would be willing of that tax go towrards helping somone or family less off than me , i would not begrudge it , and to see that a family is giving a fair chance in life , maybe the cycle could end there giving that family hope , now going on to healthcare who would you actually scrap the medical cards for , maybe someone who has been struck down with a illness and needs all the support they can get , again thats what taxes is for , to really help those in need , and with the help of the medical card and taxes and healthcare these people with the proper support can get better and start to lead a normal life again and resume a better quality of life , helping others in society who are in the same boat later on down the line , but your whole outlook is IS LET THEM DIE OFF. thats not capatalism liathroidboy , thats facism .

Boys we live in a society. In a properly functioning society the economy exists for the betterment of society at all levels. Without society and societal values we don't have an economy. We have nothing. Without education, which is a fundamental requirement of society, we have no economy. We have no legal system. We have nothing. Like I said we exist in a society. That is why some of the money generated by the economy must be used for the development and betterment of all those who exist within our society.
