Why would you gamble with the profit? Why not just take it out and keep it? Or invest it?

I've looked at the charts for the price of Etherium and Bitcoin and they're both the same shape. Reminds me of another chart I've been looking at lately, stock in the company I work for. The Dow and the S&P 500 are all following similar trends. Assets are on a bit of a surge, even bubbly stuff like Crypto that has no intrinsic value.

If I were youse boys I'd get out while you're ahead, or at least get all your investment back. It's not a "mistake" to cut out early if you've got your money made. If you've already got your money back then you may play away with what's still invested.

Actual wording of the changes:

Add bolded text to Article 41.1.1° "The State recognises the Family, whether founded on marriage or on other durable relationships, as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law.

Delete text from 41.3.1°:  "The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack.

Delete the following: Article 41.2.1° "In particular, the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved." 

Delete the following: Article 41.2.2° "The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home."

Add the following: Article 42B: "The State recognises that the provision of care, by members of a family to one another by reason of the bonds that exist among them, gives to Society a support without which the common good cannot be achieved, and shall strive to support such provision."

Quote from: LeoMc on January 29, 2024, 08:52:55 PMSo Israeli allegations of involvement by 10-12 UNRWA operators out of 30,000 (a list previously provided to and cleared by Israel) is sufficient smoke to cut out aid.

However genocidal statements and attendance at Settler conferences by Government Ministers is not sufficient indication of Israeli direction of travel.
The UNRWA budget is around $600m per annum. Countries (not Ireland) are suspending rather than cancelling. The Arabs can easily replace them but, if the US pulls out, it will be another case of it shooting itself in the foot in terms of Middle East credibility. Denying starving people food is not a good look.

Why don't the Arabs step up to the plate and replace them?
They will if the US etc cancel instead of suspend
Nobody in the media ever points out why 80% of the people in gaza are dependent on food aid. Israel destroyed the economy. Israel is the purest evil.

Isreal government? Or just all of Israel is the purest evil?



The government, the people who voted them in, the people chanting "death to the Arabs," the IDF, etc..

Bit early to say. Although it's interesting that they haven't yet revealed what type of cancer it is. I wonder why.

Quote from: tonto1888 on January 27, 2024, 09:07:49 PMEU people do have to explain themselves when they come here.
I'm telling you 70 million people don't want to come to this island

I was referring to the 26 counties, EU citizens have a right to travel throughout the EU and are not asked questions.

Are you contending that there are not 70million people (or a lot more) who would prefer to live in Ireland than in their own country. So they would come here if they could and if other places did not welcome them.

You were talking about this island.
And let's talk about this island. How many people actually leave here to go and better their lives? It's ok for them to do it but if someone else dreams about doing it it's a bad thing?

I was talking about this island, but I was not trying to justify Brexiteer policies.
I didn't say that it was a bad thing for these people, I said it was a bad thing for us.

How is it a bad thing? We need more people of working age, which immigrants tend to be.

Quote from: burdizzo on January 26, 2024, 08:48:09 PMOnly, or mainly, in Western Europe are countries having serious problems with immigration. I merely want us to protect ourselves for future generations.

However, thanks for the holier-than-thou lecture.

Look, it's pretty obvious neither of us is going to persuade the other, and while I know arguing with strangers on the internet is basically pointless, sometimes it can be stimulating. This, though, isn't -  so I'm off to scrub the dishes!

Like what? Upsetting racist patients who want to be treated by one of their own?

Or upsetting racist patients who don't want a fella jerking off at the foot of their hospital bed when theyre recovering from an operation might be a start

A fella with 8 priors BTW

Are you gonna comment on the fella with over 30 priors who was free to murder a young lad in lurgan? Or does thefact he was a local make it ok? Or maybe it's because his victim was from the north?
Saying as this thread is about immigrants then it's not really relevant is it.

It kind of is relevant if you're trying to make the claim that immigrants are inherently more dangerous than locals.

Quote from: armaghniac on January 27, 2024, 03:11:11 PMOh I think 70 million might well want to come here, but we do not allow them, and most do not make up stories to try and come here. Which is not the same thing.

What's your source for this? A random number generator?

Quote from: trueblue1234 on January 27, 2024, 10:11:50 AMSo from this, it's that vetting hasn't been done enough on the immigrants is the issue? Not the numbers themselves? Or are we just going down a rabbit hole with the focus on these few immigrants who have broken the law? Just genuinely interested as it's two very different discussions.

There are 7 billion people who might want to come and all of these will not fit on this island, but the open door crowd refuse to countenance a limit of any sort or to that the present arrangements encourage chancers.

Genuine question. What do you think the population of the world is?

Quote from: Rossfan on January 27, 2024, 03:18:58 PMYanks again showing what an uncivilised shower of sick cnuts they are.

It's funny but in recent years,  Olympic and World Cup host countries (Russia,  Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc) have been  criticised for their attitude/laws/death penalties  towards  gays, women etc.  Yet the US has hosted numerous events and not a word about attitudes to same, and their  death penalty.

Remember seeing a  documentary  a while ago , and it basically looks  like  the US prison system is a  cheap labour camp for big business.  People thrown in jail for  having a break light  out or  a baldy tyre. Big businesses have a contract with the prisons so  they basically  are paying little to nothing  for labour

John Oliver on the business model of prison labour.

Quote from: nrico2006 on January 27, 2024, 06:53:58 PMI'd rather be in jail for life than dead.
In Maghaberry maybe, but death probably a better alternative than a lot of places in the US.

True. Prison should be hard and punishing every minute of every day. Basic food provision, no menus or choice etc. and hard labour daily. No Internet, TV in a cell, computer games or degree courses.

Why? You want them to re-offend when they come out? Kinda makes me wonder what the purpose of prison is. Why anyone would want criminals to be even more dangerous on release is beyond me.

This is like the people on Twitter who sit around all day selectively posting stories about crimes that happen to be committed by dark-skinned people. I'll bet they think they're onto something. Utterly pathetic.

The sight of Irish people giving out about migration is just priceless.

The people in Ireland did not migrate, it is those 40 million who should look after migrants.

A million left Ireland during the famine, and the Irish kept migrating right up to the present day. It's a good bet that half the "send them back" crowd has relatives living abroad.
