Look now you've done it you made me cry .

Ireland - IMHO - rather enjoys its 'poor man of Europe' legend, it means subsidies on a vast scale and it can get on with its more comfortable internal political squabbles without having to face the decisions and costs of being a first world power.
Some of you may be thinking "you haeartless b******" or any manner of nasty little insults, but spare the man your wrath (if there is any) for he alas is absolutely right. Ireland is one of the richest countries on the planet and yet does not have a military, living standard or stability to match. Oh by the way I aint complainin about livin standards but they dont match the excessive costs.
To all you Europeans who care to know P.M. me with any questions you have on the subsidies issue raised here as to explain it all here would take a good 10 pages of the boards space to do.
now none can deny our rather small ground force is of the highest quality and as light infantry among the worlds best but as already mentioned by me, no air force and little of an N.S. to notice.

in short, Irelands political class - with the conivence of its voting public - have made Ireland a sponging leech on the back of those prepared to spend blood and treasure for Europes interests.
This while very short is very true people the Irish Gove headed up by that as* licking C*** Bertie is ripping you all off blind and givin most of the countries money to themselves .
I'll come back with more later, thank you dave for that breath of fresh air.

P.S. mods if this belongs in another area please move it an tell me where its gone to thanks.
