News / Thank you Ireland... EUCCP [81]

Here we go, Ireland has an opinion and now you are making us look like we have single handedly destroyed the E.U.

I think you are just being controversial.
Of course Ireland loves all 17 Billion euros we got from the EU.

And I know no Irish man that dislikes the EU.

So I think you are ill informed

Hello to you all from a new poster.

Just to correct Bratwurst Boy's claim on Irish attitudes to the EU. I would say that Ireland is now at least as eurosceptic as the UK as evidenced in the 53% NO vote in the Lisbon referendum.

And that 17 billions he mentions is but a drop in the ocean of the estimated 200 billion in fish taken from Irish waters since Ireland joined the EEC in 1973.

Ireland has woken up to the EU bigtime!

No, because we never developed our own fishing industry in the way Iceland did, agriculture was shortsightedly prioritized at the expense of fishing.

Personally I believe we should leave the EU and join Norway and Switzerland in EFTA leading other EU countries to take the same option. We joined a trading block not a political union. The EU has over extended itself and become too big for it's boots in effect.

We could have licensed fishing and controlled our one true resource while building an industry.

27 countries, it has to fall apart eventually??

Lisbon is the first Euro treaty that refers to the EU's population as "it's citizens". I don't wish to be it's citizen. I don't think most other Europeans want to be it's citizens, but then they were not asked.

Did you know that almost half of the EU caught fish ending up on European plates comes from Irish waters?

Culturally, linguistically and economically etc America is a nation it bears no comparison with the hotchpotch that is the EU. It can only fail as a union and it's obvious fear of public mandate is telling as it stumbles from one rejection to the next.

I do think you have a very valid point that other countries did not get the opportunity to vote, sounds mad. At this stage of the game it has to be democratic.

If the EU were to apply to join itself it would fail the accession criteria for lack of democracy.

Life / Cigarette Smoking in Poland [146]

Why does Poland not ban smoking in the workplace. When I couldn't smoke in the pub anymore I gave them up. No regrets.

Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

Comes as a real surprise to me Sean as i was brought up in a Jewish household in Dublin and my mother thought the nazi bombs that rained on Terenure in 1941 were directed solely at her the housekeeper.

As regards antisemitism in Ireland there was a small outbreak in Limerick in 1904.

Today Irelands Jewish community has dwindled to a few thousand or less as the young have to travel to find co-religionist partners.

Yes, but you said "there were never any Jews in Ireland" which was plain wrong. There was always a small (and very well liked)community. Most seemed to be there by accident btw, having got off the ship in Cork thinking they were in America and settled because they had no money left to move on. It's a testament to their talents that so many became very successful within a generation having had such an inauspicious start. Neutral Ireland was by far the safest place in Europe for Jews of this period.

It was not "plain wrong" right there were a very very very small community, so small in fact that even in the link you sent it states

5000 in the late 40's, 2000 today. Yes a very small community but in no sense 'none ever' as you claimed.

I do not know what this guy's agenda is...

If the EU want the people of Europe to be legally "it's" citizens it had better ask them.

A single issue agenda, in his own words:

Actually it was a good article from the laughable commies at indymedia distraught and confused at finding themselves on the same side as Ganley.

Poland should just ride along with it for a while and jump off before it crashes.
