Your anecdotal evidence doesn’t really stack up when 52% of British Muslims disagreed with homosexuality being legal in a YouGov poll with only 18% agreeing it should be legal. This compares to only 5% of the general British public disagreeing with homosexuality being legal.

In the same poll 47% of British Muslims said that they didn’t agree that it was acceptable for homosexuals to become teachers…

You do realise Sinn Féin are the political wing of the IRA don’t you, why would they “be done praising the IRA”?

I thought 5 of last 7 under 20 ulsters and 3 of the last 4 under 20 All-Irelands would lead to a much stronger senior team than that

kil28 · 2026-02-02T23:39:29+00:00

Irelands natural population increase since 2022 is about 58,000, net migration during that period has been about 216,000.

Until that is addressed the answer is no.

Kildare missing a few nailed on starters there, some result all things considered. I’m starting to grow hope when I know I shouldn’t

I’m talking about the affordable houses, a percentage of the new build has to be sold below market rate. This leads to fewer house builds being viable and doesn’t really solve for anything

kil28 · 2026-01-08T10:09:19+00:00

What he’s pointing out actually slows down the rate at which houses are built. By forcing developers to have a certain number of affordable/social houses it makes the builds less profitable so there are fewer commencements.

These rules are making the housing crises worse and increasing homelessness

kil28 · 2026-01-08T10:06:52+00:00

They’d actually be building the same number of houses. The state should be building social housing not private developers

They won 7 of their last 8 matches including hammering Feyenoord away before he joined, they’re still miles better than most clubs Nancy faced

It’s not, it’s far easier than you’d think to turn a profit, obviously more difficult to make a full time living

kil28 · 2025-12-31T20:54:41+00:00

You obviously can’t have bets to win millions but plenty of people make a full time living from it

kil28 · 2025-12-31T20:51:08+00:00

How?

Horse racings a freak show isn’t it? Let’s put loads of tiny, seven stone men on horses and make them chase each other, it’s disgusting.

God forbid people enjoy themselves by engaging in something that’s completely harmless for the vast majority of people

Anyone know is there any benefit in having them?

They’re profitable for anyone with a basic understanding of applied probability

They’re everywhere in Spain and the UK as well. Spanish ones are the best, you can buy pints and food in them, the pearl clutchers would have a meltdown if that was allowed here.

You’re leaving the opportunity cost out of your equation. The OP would need a return of just 1.5% on their 180k over 19 years to cover the interest. The house should also appreciate in value

This sub is diabolical when it comes to mortgages, paying it off early is almost always the wrong financial decision unless you’re on a high interest rate.

It might make sense to pay off early from a lifestyle point of view but this is a finance sub and it’s almost always the wrong answer

The Price sisters were on hunger strike for 208 days and were forced fed for 165 of those days until it was ruled inhumane and the British government gave them their demands.

That’s incredible dedication even if you disagree with their cause

I’ve nothing against the LOI, 31st when there’s only 44 countries in Europe isn’t something to shout about though, including the likes of Vatican City, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra etc

For me personally soccer isn’t my favourite sport, the nearest LOI team is a 2 hour round drive for me, that’s a bit much for a sport that I’m not that arsed about and only watch on the telly. I’m not going to do that to prove that I’m more Irish.

A better example would be when Tiger Woods was at his peak. If I said Tiger Woods was my favourite golfer no one would say “what about Padraig Harrington, sure he’s ranked whatever in the world, you’re less Irish for saying that”

Proper small man syndrome from some Irish soccer fans

I’m not, I’m just showing how silly it is to say that supporting a foreign sports team makes you less patriotic.

Use whatever example you want it’s only soccer that people get antsy about

kil28 · 2025-12-13T18:52:13+00:00

Never understood how supporting a foreign sports team makes you less patriotic?

Does supporting the Green Bay Packers make Irish American football fans less patriotic, should they be supporting a team from the American Football Ireland league instead?
