Lads to quit arguing over semantics- long story short Trump, Musk, Bezos and the rest are a shower of pricks who screwed plenty of people over to get where they are and are benefitting from other peoples labour. They pay f**k all in tax and give even less of a f**k about me or you.

Stop defending them.

No one is defending them.. my brain hurts..

For the craic

Jeff Bezos' tax payments vary, with recent estimates suggesting he paid approximately $2.7 billion in tax for 2024 due to selling a significant amount of Amazon stock. Over a 2014-2018 period, his reported "true tax rate" was about 0.98% on nearly $99 billion in wealth growth, and historical reports note he paid no federal income tax in some specific years like 2007 and 2011.

If Glenariffe click they'll win with a few to spare

If they are well marshalled then that could be a problem for them

Left the club before the end of the game, initially Ballyhale were second best at times but did what they need to do and dig in and get the scores.. I don't think they'll win this year, think they are past their best

Not really a car problem, but do many of you have dash cams?  I've seen some unbelievably sh*te driving over the past few weeks and it is making me think that I really need to get one of these setup.  Any recommendations? There are some range of products and prices out there. Hard to know what is useless and what isnt.

Interested myself, but couldn't possibly let my wife see that she is right.. I am a shit driver lol!

The EA are spending £40 million a year on getting precious to school in taxis, no wonder you can't get a taxi at night they don't have to work - society is fucked, the perception is everyone is owed, free prescriptions, free water, a bit stressed and you are off work getting more money that folk bursting their holes going to work 6 days a week.  The only way it will end is if benefits are addressed ffs luxury cars for DVLA ridiculous.

Need to look at the billionaires paying fuckall tax rather than the ones scrounging benefits. I can guarantee you theres more being lost by the rich not paying than by the poor screwing the system.

If the billionaires are paying nothing and there are ones screwing the system you and I and everyone else trying to provide for their families get screwed the most.

The billionaires have probably employed 100 or even 1,000's of employees to achieve these billions, good money that goes back into the economy

As for cheap housing, knock yourself out, couldn't pay me to live in some of the shiteholes with all the carnage that goes on around them

Just to assist the haplessly confused Milly.

Yes, I stated that they employ 100 and 1000's of workers which generate wealth. Which bit is wrong? You got I revered them from that? Heads lit!

Please throw up were I said I revered them?!

You are bonkers, first off for having different names on here, and losing the plot soo many times

You didn't say you revere them but your actions support that. You are very defensive and sensitive to criticisms of billionaires. It's where you interjected on this thread. If you weren't so sensitive to another person wanting them to pay more tax this conversation would not be happenimg.

I find it utterly bizarre. A guy who reveres billionaires calling other people bonkers is some stretch. I don't have any other names on here so take your tinfoil hat off as well. You like to peddle plenty of baseless allegations when you're losing an argument....

How much more tax do you want them to pay and what would that account for? Is it so us plebs could then pay less?
How about our political advocates and the festering CS tackling the waste of tax payers money? Adopting even a little pragmatism instead of pedalling their populist horse manure. You are being hood winked pal.

I've stated plenty times during this debate, Tax the billionaires, anyone care to look at that they'll see I posted that.. this (and its completely boring me now) is Bezos didn't come from money in the way Trump and Musk did, that's it..

I asked where I said I revered them, again, it didn't happen. and show me where I support their actions!

Poster loses the run of himself (on multiple threads) and when pulled about having been someone else on here before gets defensive and says I've a tinfoil hat!

Unfortunately we don't live in a socialistic ideology world, I'd be center left in life, so revering billionaires is not a thing, so stop with the shit..

As I said since the industrial revolution, people have been exploited and owners have made their money from that.. All wrong of course and well documented over many years..

The tax system is what it is, and until someone with some gumption comes in and changes it then we are stuck, cause at our level, we really have no say in it.. My eyes are wide open btw and you'll need to show me where I am peddling the populist

No one is willing to tackle the billionaires on more tax due to them threatening to leave the country (which many have btw)

In regards to what should they be taxed, will that's a different debate and I'd like to see what others think on that .. I feel I'm taxed enough     

Newbridge left some goal opportunities against Dunloy also. If they click and have the composure to take them then they have to be in the mix going forward..

Please throw up were I said I revered them?!

You brought him up as if to say Bezos was wealthy, that was your point. When shown up to be incorrect you went some more crap about todays money! Mental gymnastics to prove some point you got wrong..

It's ok to be wrong, him being nasty or treating his staff wrong wasn't the debate.

Is that a retraction from you on accusing me of saying he gifted Bezos money? I never said that, it's hilarious you are accusing me of mental gymnastics when you're making an eejit of yourself here. 

I brought him up in response to Trilleac saying he came from humble beginnings. I said it was false and pointed to a 500k investment (in today's value) his parents were able to support him with in his startup and the fact his grandfather owned 25k acres. its fairly straightforward but you seem highly confused.

Was it 250 or 500? I'm confused.. my mom gave me a tenner in 1988. In todays terms it's around 100, I wish I had have made more of it, but I'd ten pints and a Chinese..

It's fairly straightforward, he came from humble beginnings and made good. Just say that

[sits]

When it gets to the business end of things Tyrone club football generally sits it's togs 

I'll see how long I can drag this out 

Drag it out... you can't even spell 

Shits... another season of disappointment

Conor Bradley got some roasting. Out of his depth today.

One week brilliant, next week he's shite!

It's a hard gig, apparently he'd some nordie tayto which would have knocked his form

More to the point what was your first alias you been barred on here previously as?

I actually wasn't barred. Moderater checked and no sur!
My turn... if someone decides to slag off Tyrone football after a club is beat, is there no right to reply?

For the best club championship in Ireland, only one club has won.. pretty poor return from the 'best' championship, ffs we have won 3 lol

These things even themselves out over the course of the season, some decisions ya get some ya don't..

Arsenals to lose

Did a game on Monday night, floodlights fairly good, mist started to come in and it was difficult to see the far side of the pitch..

The players didn't complain but it came mostly from those behind the fence.. I think with regards to floodlights going completely then it has to be called off, and with discussion with the grounds man the ref would make the call
