Wall of Mouths

I don’t know what this country thinks but personally I think it’s brilliant. Check out a recent radio interview with Jim Corr (the man one out of the Corrs - Irish pop group with three foxy sisters - of all people) if you don’t know why ;)

ya i heard a bit of that, it was on today fm, who would have though that behind the axe lay such a deep thinker. think he’s been smokin too much skunk, everyone was after him.

I voted no my self. The EU has done a hell of a lot for Ireland i have to say but we are heading towards a federal state if you ask me so fuck that. Only down side to voting no is that i was on the side of Sinn Fein (scum), Libartas (a group that came from no where and were set up by a guy who has dealings with the american military and the US don’t want to see Europe get too strong military wise so go figure), CURA (pro life fuck wits who said voting yes would force Ireland to allow abortions in Ireland, which is plane bollox) and some other eejits who thought a yes vote would mean their children would be conscripted into a EU army.

Ireland was the only country of the 27 to give a vote to the people, why? First off its in our Constitution and secondly many other countries would vote no.

have you got a link? i tend to tune out when those feckers start to speak.

Jim did his research. wouldn’t agree with everything he said but he made his points well.

I can agree that in time some people would like to see us push towards a united world/market. I don’t agree with the Twin Towers being packed with explosives and it being a US/Bush government led operation. I think a plane few into them which caused them to come down. I’ve looked into it, not as much as your self, but I’m happy with my decision on that but I’m always open to new info. Its just hard to believe some of the information out there, if i wanted to make it look like SPG from the Young Ones planned and carried out the attacks I could probably make the possible links if i so wished, so i have trouble believing the more supposedly far fetched theories.

Didn’t actually open it! its hear beside me all wrapped up and unopened, may have a look at it later! Just didn’t like the sound of it. Hated being told that you have to vote yes because the EU have given us so much, that just bollox. Ya there was some good aspects in the treaty but it was all wrapped up in complicated toss.

And this short one from Italian TV about Building 7 is excellent:

Yeah I’m glad we voted no. problem is our vote will be ignored throughout Europe, and I do not think the Irish will get ‘a better deal’ which was one of the main arguments of the No side. I also hated the fact that many TDs and campaigners on both sides were indulging in childish tactics such as systematically calling the other side liars and accusing them of spouting rubbish. both sides were bullied in a way I have never seen before, but I am glad it was rejected.

haha that sounds like Ireland alright

What a dick. I love the fact we are getting slagged off for voting no when we are the only country that had a vote on it. I’m sure a few other countries would have given it the boot also. Ya we may have another lash at it and it will probably be passed, a good chunk of people voted no because they hadn’t got a clue what it was about

the main criticism that commisioner had was that everybody who was against something (wether it was the european union, abortus, foreigners,…) just jumped on the NO-wagon, confusing everybody about what this referendum was really about. Ah well, I have no clue what it is about, but my government descided for me that I agree :-)

I agree with KJC, if the EU truly was a democracy then they should accept the Irish ‘No’ vote with grace and move towards a solution. Is it saying something that the only country whose people were allowed to vote (‘cos it’s in the Irish constitution that we must vote on all matters; a hangover from being occupied without rights for 800 years) voted no? The EU dictators simply think we should go fuck ourselves ‘cos we’re only a small nation.

Being bullied into saying ‘Yes’ isn’t the answer - if it does go to another vote next year or whenever, it will be rejected by an even bigger margin. Bullying and threats of sanctions is not the way to get a ‘Yes’ vote from us. In the first place, if they had treated us with respect and said “look, you lose out here and there, but the gains are this…” then the Treaty may have been passed. But they treated us like submissive little kids and they got their reward!

Not that I’m political, like. :-)

The Lisbon Treaty has a clause which would allow the EU-wide reintroduction of the death penalty in the event of “war, riots, upheaval”…think about the implications of that!
