I'm a realist stew.


So in your view a realist is automatically a pessimist?????

there's a credit union on the doagh road in a Orange Hall right beside the local Pub in Rathfern (rathcoole area)

who woulld use that

does the Catholic Church have a bank? would they not give them a few pound?

Personally I'm not sure that these people should get a bailout or gov't help; simply because I don't know a thing about it and I suspect that most people on here wouldn't be fully tuned into the complexities of the economy, the recession or important things for the gov't to invest in.

However, and I'm just guessing here, you can tell me whether or not you disagree; but I reckon that had this been the Catholic Mutual Society, the usual bitters on here would have been ranting about how the "big, bad Bruddish government" were being sectarian for not saving them...

Just a thought.

If something similar happened to a  catholic mutual society they would be marching up and down the falls rd with the white buckets stopping the traffic

Pints at least be honest. The reason you say "f**k them" is not because of their poor investment choices but because they are prods. At least some of the other numbskulls are honest enough to admit their own bigotry.

Milltown that Credit Union is behind the Cloughfern Arms in a loyalist heartland so it doesn't really conform to the theory that prods don.t use the credit union. Not unless the residents of Bawnmore are the only users!

No, I say f**k them because it's an odd pres only credit union like joint and I'd suspect their motives. 
If it was a similar catholic organisation Id say the same.

You can believe me if you want but have you ever known me to hold back on what I think on any subject?

You'd suspect the motives of the organisation or the people investing the money?

Totally agree. It's old people with retirement savings that will suffer the most here and that's nothing to be laughed at. I can guarantee that if the Catholic Church had a similar Society, the parents or grandparents of a large proportion of people on here (including some of those sneering) would be in the same situation.

However, rather than a government bailout, i think the Church should bail it out, as i'm sure it was the trust in the Church that would have been a primary motivation for such people investing there in the first place.
