Mary, are you at the bottle? Why did you feel obliged to tell us that you had a 5 bed house? Quick, my son the engineer is drowning!

The Irish who feel self righteous about what happened during the famine here should take a much closer look at it.To blame it all on the English and the landlords does not stack up.For one thing it did not affect all of irish society.It affected only the cottier and labouring class and who emerged better off at the end of it,was it the landlords ? No many of them were ruined.The winners were the Irish strong farmers and merchants who exploited it who upped thier prices and sold food not fit for pigs to the poorhouses and exported the quality food,Yes there were some cunt landlords but most were decent and tried to help many to the point of ruination and the English goverment could have done far more thats true.But the biggest cunts in the whole story were the Irish farming and business class.And we can see today how corrupt and ruthless segments of Irish society can be when it comes to making a fast buck at others expence.It was no different back then!.

In a way you can understand Paul’s anger. He has his little shop and maybe he has a bit of a monopoly on some goods. He might even be a main dealer in certain well-known brands throughout the entire county. Just guessing now, you understand, but I reckon it pisses the hell out of him that big chain stores would move into his little town and sell goods cheaper than he does.

How am I doing so far, Paul?

I was reading my comments here from a while back, and I want now to make clear that from now on I will not use the term ‘potato famine’, as I was made aware that many are sensitive about the term. I never realised this before, and I’ll take that one on board. However, I still don’t think that Australian fellow meant it as a calculated insult, no more than I did if I used the term in the past. Of course, the comparison he made was overblown – although I see typical Aussie black humour in that, which does not go down well among many people who aren’t used to it.

Paul: I’m not Gerry Harvey. I think Bock is 100% correct in saying that you are a businessman who thinks he is entitled to our business, who doesn’t feel he has to compete. You remind me of some of the negative characters in an Ayn Rand novel.

Tell me this Paul. What makes you think you have a right to get your comments put up?

You’re calling me a liar and why would I give you a platform for that sort of crap?

You previously posted on this thread using the name James and now you’re calling yourself Paul. Isn’t that right?

Why would you do that?

Remind us of your rules again Bock – No insults, No bad language.

Jaysus, I could have sworn that I just read a load of abuse and bad language in your last 3 posts.

Oh, I forgot about the rule which exempts you from the rules, sure of course you can do what ever you want, isn’t it your ball and your game, silly me.

Paul, fuck off.

You have nothing to contribute here.

Paul can think and post for himself. He doesn’t require you to post for him.

P.S.
It’s fairly obvious that you’re using several names to post on here. You really should grow up.

Paul has a different agenda. He thinks he has a right to your money.
