God help us if we ever go to war.

I know nothing of politics other than 99% of them will turn out the same when they get into power. Its a revolution is whats needed not an election.

Russian revolution or something?
A lot of revolutions work out well alright.
( often little changes in essence after a revolution ..The new crowd usually go back to the old ways ....it's what they know)
Czar. ..Russian revolution ...Czars Lenin &Stalin. ..Gorbachev. ...Czar Putin.

The circle is completed, as with all revolutions.
360 degrees of a revolution brings you right back to where you started ;-)

It's the Irish people who let them away with it, most of us are too apathetic to get out and complain and then we mock the ones who do.

I often look at the dail and say there isn't one person I can relate to, not one who speaks for me. We're still too parochial and I don't know when that will end, I fear not in my lifetime

All politics is local....Some famous quotation or other.

An allegory of the 1917 Russian Revolution.
Orwell was by then presumably turned off Russian communism.

No definetly not, your type shouldnt be in any position of power or authority, it appears you played with too many action men and watched too many john wayne movies growing up. Perhaps you feel the need to over compensate in your masculinity.
Unfortunately your ignorant view of some stereotype male seems embeded so not much hope for you or your family for that

Unusual that you would display such a disapprovement of men who pay for sex,you cant support escorts either in that equation so, yet your such an active member. Do you just post here as some sort of superiority complex thinking that at least here there are people you can look down on?
Unfortunately for you the views you express blow even that oppertunity out of the water, perhaps you would have better luck on the cbbeebies forum where you may get someone to agree with your views or would have similar thought through arguments

For the guys who talk about being proud get off your fuckin high horses. You pay women for sex so no more proud then your mothers would be of you.

Proud my hole,

Agreed
People are apathetic and willfully ignorant - and that's why politicians are getting away with a lot.
The problem is not with the politicians but with all of us who just fiddle and who don't try to make things better.....
And again this is not just an Irish problem but can be seen in almost every Western nation.

That's it man you have to be the change you want to see, things don't just change on their own

Also in regards to your point about all western nations being the same, it's true, somone made a good point (think it was in this thread) about Western Europe almost being like the final days of Rome, decadent and depraved and now Rome is burning, I couldn't agree more

Well you wont see me hanging off rosary beads when my time comes.
