The Flood / Re: I did 15 push ups

20 just now, though I feel the blood rushing to my head as I've been sitting down doing fuck all for the last 3 hours.

I know I'm out of shape, I've never exercised apart from PE.

My  suport for the Lib Dems hasn't changed, but Green party is waaaay down only to be replaced by fucking UKIP...

According to the political map, I'm dead centre. How in the fuck...?

Would you mind posting/paraphrasing their responses afterwards (assuming they aren't just the party lines or political buzzwords)?

As for question ideas...Does the rise in popularity of outliers (Greens/UKIP) show a change in public opinion, and should the major parties modify their policies to accomodate this (change in voter demographic/voter opinion) or remain constant throughout?

4295
This has nothing to do with retarded laws and lawmakers though, this falls entirely on the court in question.

Also, the Irish Court of Appeals has the power to decide on constitutionality and declare acts void in that light? Wut?

Unfortunately I know very little about my country's procedures for this sorta thing, so I can't help you there. Something musn't be right with it though, as this isn't the first time something stupid or controversial has happened.

Last time I posted in serious about Ireland it was regarding a braindead pregnant woman, whose the fetus's fate was being determined because we have silly laws about the unborn. Don't know how the result turned out, but if this happened elsewhere I doubt it would have even gone as far as a court case.

Worth mentioning too is that anyone imprisoned currently/has a criminal record as a result of this (now void) act will stay that way because they didn't argue the "constitutiony-ness" of it then.

Ireland has accidently legalised ecstasy, crystal meth and ketamine.

A legal loophole means that you cannot be arrested for possession until the new legislation is passed.
It does not affect existing laws regarding the supply, possession or the sale of older, more established drugs such as heroin or cocaine, just newer ones.The Irish Minister for Health is introducing emergency legislation on Tuesday night to close the loophole.

Ireland's 1977 Misuse of Drugs Act was found unconstitutional by the Irish Court of Appeal on Tuesday morning because both houses of Irish parliament had not agreed to the new additions, meaning that the drugs currently prohibited by the Act are legal.This includes up to 100 drugs, including 'legal highs'.

What this article fails to mention (checked from other sources) is that the emergency legislature is only going to rectify the problem by Thursday, meaning they are legal to possess for the next 48 hours (though trading and trafficking appears to be illegal still, for some reason).

What's even funnier (if you read The Independent, TheJournal appears to be patchy due to Reddit overload) is that another law passed recently has accidentally fucked up marriage laws by accidentally banning heterosexual marriages...

So, to get some discussion out of this other than "LOL", discuss retarded laws and lawmakers, and also; If drugs like Class A's became legal, would you try some of them (assuming pure quality)?

A Hobby/Tech board.

Flood's too much of a biohazard for it, Gaming wouldn't exactly welcoming board games or PC lingo and Serious is well...too serious.

Simple idea, you gotta tech problem, want a recommendation for a decent laptop/monitor/pc part, or just want to brag that you can get 200fps Ultra effects on your $3,000 custom built water-cooled tower, you put it there, as well as bunching it up with Art (as a serperate board is too quiet), Anime (because it seems to be asked for, but again, too small a group), and other shit like Sports or Cars or anything else can be discussed there with rules to keep it more civil than the Flood, but not too civil that you have to be formal about it.

Allah, as in God? Uhm...well. IRA was real*, God...isn't.

Lol @ "The Real IRA", bunch of gobshites

If you mean more along the lines of Al Qaeda/Taliban/Hezbollah/ISIS, I'd be inclined to say them over the IRA. I mean the IRA have been around for a while, but they weren't that good in their aims (e.g. Northern Ireland is still British and largely Protestant), whereas these middle Eastern groups have been fermenting for a lot less, but ISIS owning a fucking caliphate.

And if we're going by brutality scales here, ISIS wins by a mile. IRA has their kneecappings, car bombings and occasional taken-outside-and-shot-and-never-disclosing-the-location routine, whereas as ISIS...well, fuck, just a whole higher level of terrorism and brutality.

So, just under two weeks of fishing shrimp, chopping oaks, mining iron and doing the Knight's Sword quest has amounted to this so far:

I don't take too many pictures, and the ones I do I've yet to develop (brought a 35mm camera to Turkey for example), so I'm afraid you're stuck viewing the "local area".
Galway, Ireland. (somewhat potato quality)

Swansea, Wales (There was an airshow on)

Cardiff and the surrounding area (Caerphilly "Mountains"), Wales

St. David's Day March, last week. The picture doesn't really do it justice, the march was all around Cardiff.

It should be mentioned that the last time we had a CO2 ppm of ~400, there was a mini extinction event (PETM). So...yeah...we have that to think about.

Any higher and we start going into the Cenozoic climates where it was almost pole-to-pole deserts (I digress, another factor was the block of water currents what with a super continent at the time, but still).

I'll try and stave my addiction by learning Russian and finding the online version of the old Fallouts. Been meaning to play it once I figure out how to play the originals first though.


I have 1,2 and tactics from when they were free on gog. I can sen them to you if you want.
No need for that, I've already got them on Steam. Thank you though  :)

« on: March 04, 2015, 05:29:15 PM »
Other than some stuff from Lidl, I've pre-ordered Interstellar.

Watched already online and loved it, but the quality was terrible and it warrants actually buying it.

What could be worse is if they say "Your God is false, bow down to the Great Lord and Master Czulth", and proceed to vaporize Earth for being heathens.

But I guess if it did happen it kinda throws religion out the window regarding a few things, such as the creation story (though not many take it literally, to pick and choose out of your holy book what is to be believed and what is just stories seems a bit retarded to me), or they'd have to come up with another chapter in the holy books to encompass extra-terrestrials somehow.

However it went about I think it would leave a lot of religious people doubtful of their belief, and quite a few others angry.

Being a "nuetral" country, I can't be conscripted for a war as Ireland can't really declare one.

That said, if I thought a war was reasonable declared by Britain I wouldn't be against signing up if it came to it, nor joining up if my own country were invaded (In the British Army or otherwise).

But I completely disagree with conscription, because I'd have no choice, and it comes down to simply what country I'm in and who's in charge. I might have voted against them, I might be completely against the war, and I'd still have to fight it. I find it funny that America is stereotyped as a country of freedom when really that isn't the case.

National Service I think is as far as I'd go to agree with, as Israel does for everyone over 18 for 2 years, given their relationship with everyone else isn't exactly cosy.

Brush every morning.

Used to be a bit more rigorous when I first got braces, but I eventually forgot to at night, and now I don't bother. Better than I was before though, that's for damn sure.

The lack of Irish people in the mod list is a sign of clear bias.

No Byrne, Zizzy, myself, or any fellow Irish I have forgotten or no knowledge of.
We had Kiyo. Look how that turned out.
Northern Irish...aren't.
