“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Joseph Goebbels

Lot of truth in that ShavedGoat.

The Irish people have very little self respect.

Jesus tim, don’t encourage him. He’s a dirty little man.

@Frank Enstein – I agree and while there are some very intelligent people in this country who can see past the scare mongering bulls**t, there are unfortunately some less intelligent people who believe what they’re told to believe and vote for whatever the government at the time tells them to vote,
Lets just hope the brains overshadows the sheep this time.

This is the way europe works and they will take every red cent in doing so and yes Frank I do agree with you

Every country brainlessly voted YES in the Lisbon Treaty? Before attempting to explain ‘Big’ words to me, try understanding the smaller ones, particularly the distinction between ‘your’ and ‘youre’. Pride never put food on the table…’Vote Yes For Lisbon, Yes For Jobs’ Go away you clown, you have neither the intellect or knowledge to condescend me or anyone else here lol

@ Chuck Your English is awful, even I can see that and I am not even a native English speaker. What guy mocks people about their grammar but can’t even understand simple grammar in his own native language?

Chuck I agree, there are a few who come on this site and think they are being clever by using inflammatory remarks to get the reaction they want, they think its reverse psychology…it isn’t. Its just plain insulting. Get off.ur imaginary high horse shaved goat. If ur one of the people be one of the people.

No, being ‘clever’ would be a genius whose intellect and debating skills stretch only so far as to correct grammar on a screen ) Niamh, is anything I said wrong? I find you and the Irish electorate rather insulting actually.

P.S I am not on a horse, nor do I own one

Are you irish urself? and if yes then you are a member of the electorate….unless you are in prison…

What a stupid question to ask, you’re definitely Irish…how old are you, 12?

I am not Irish and not in prison. I am unfortunately European, that means your stupid electorate gets to vote YES for the entire continent again.

So ur statement above is racist… And thanks for the compliment but a lady never reveals her age ;)

And I’m guessing you are polish….

I think he’s German Niamh.

How come ye can’t have a referendum ShavedGoat?

The dumbest ignorant people in Europe get to decide the future again for everyone else. Of course you get a bloody referendum, they know you will vote yes again!!

@Chuck

Pride never put food on the table, but the self degrading attitude prevalent in Ireland. The obsession with being good little boys and girls, whether that be for Leinster House, London or Brussels etc etc has only led to poverty and emigration again and again.

Pride never put food on the table. Have a bit of self respect for yourself and your country. I’m certainly not going to come out with maudlin shite about food on the table, as a way of squaring being pissed upon. I just won’t take it.

Worthless heads on soon to be worthless bits of paper :-)
I think lots of people would rather see their heads John The Baptist style Francis.

Good

Irish…

I think it’s fair to assume that shavedgoat is trolling.

Wow you have made up your mind without even knowing what the details will be? That’s not very smart now is it.
