My disastrous move back to live in Ireland from the United States

!

Take your bat and ball and go home who cares.

"Seanomelb"! You really are funny. Every single thing that anybody else says, every single phrase, is taken by you and twisted around in order that you can give a snarling response. You even, apparently, refuse to believe that I live in Dublin. This latter bee in your bonnet ("allegedly from Dublin") is such a ridiculously petty comment that I will waste no more of my time responding to you. Love to All, Éamonn, Terenure, Dublin, Ireland.

The age factor is from various polls taken in the USA.It's neither "sexist nor ageist"(which was a stupid comment anyway).Why kill the messenger?? Maybe your devoid of common sense.Eamonn (allegedly from Dublin)

Hi "SEanomelb"! Your remark about "35 to 60 year old" males is both ageist and sexist. And here was I thinking you were all for equality. How wrong can one be! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

The teaparty are a dying breed,its main followers are 35yr.old to 60yr. old bigoted males.

@BrianO, your definition of the tea party is spot-on. It's a response to a runaway govt. that engages in runaway spending. Good post.

The premise that the tea party is extremist is false. The tea party was/is a response to runaway government and a return to the founding documents of the U.S.. If you believe the tea party to be extremist than that would mean you believe the U.S. Constituition to be extremist, The Bill Of Rights to be extremist, and Individual Freedom to be extremist. There was a time such views were held to be extreme and if the American revolutionary war had not been won those writers of these documents surely would have paid for their views with their lives, but luckily I live in a land that has the rule of law governed by the aforementioned documents.

"Dingle999", Yes, I support the Tea Party - I have no idea what my being Irish has to do with it. I detest Charles Haughey and all he stood for. I believe Sarah Palin has some very good points, and she obviously is popular with a lot of the USA electorate, but, no, I do not believe she would make a good POTUS. Love to all, Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

Seanomelb, Last time I looked in the dictionary, "all" meant" "every". However, just to comply with your wishes, and even bearing in mind that I have heard no Christian or Jewish person stating that their aim is to conquer the world, I state the following: I utterly detest any and all extremism and I disapprove of it completely, and this includes any Christian and/or Jewish extremism. Love to All. Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

EamonnDublin So as an Irish man you support the Tea Party / let me guess you also thought Haughey was the greatest leader Ireland ever had ? And you wish Sarah Palin ran for President in the United States

Eamonn I merely asked you to condemn Christian and Jewish extremism and your failure to do so can only lead one to believe you approve,all you have to say is "I do not approve of Christian or Jewish extremism" I do not hate any religion I just refuse to believe in god. You can follow any deity you like with my "blessing" after all that's what us humanists do.

Apologies - I called Dingle999 "Georgie Porgy" by mistake. Should have been "Dingle 999 Gardaí. Call it if you see a terrorist. I'll leave it up to you to decide what he (or she!!) might look like. Hard to tell with some of them these days! Éamonn, Terenure, Dublin, Ireland.

To "Dingle999". What is this? A bloody quiz programme? Actually, I live in Terenure. I have no idea what bus to take to the city centre, I haven't been on a bus for years. They have these new contraptions now, call them "cars", and I've had one for "more years than I care to remember" (with apologies to Harry Moore, late of Dawson Street). The sun is shining overhead as I write this, although we have had a few real heavy downpours earlier today (including hailstones). It was pretty miserable all morning. Dingle999, you say I am "not even Irish". Can you please explain to me why I might claim to be Irish if I am not Irish. What sort of nutter might do that, and why? Now, Georgie Porgy, can you tell me what number bus you get from the Tin Angel Restaurant on Mount Washington in Pittsburgh to the Three Rivers Stadium after getting off the "Duquesne Incline"? What, you don't live in Pittsburgh? But I thought you were a Steelers fan! No? Wrong Porgy? Small world! Éamonn, Terenure, Dublin, Ireland.

To "GeorgeDillon". Hi George! "Wagon" is just a general derogatory term for a woman - as opposed to a man! Your interpretation is as good as any. Depends really how it's used; in my instance, to be honest, I was saying it a bit tongue in cheek - I'm sure Ciaradexy is a fine person but gets a bit carried away by the anonymity of the boards.
