If they open again just on the Tuesday after the bank holiday I’ll be peeved

Dozens of Eritreans land in Dublin airport every week but none of them will be going near a hotel

The common man cannot be trusted with a bank holiday.

I’d say most of the asylum seekers, who’ve lost their passports on the way, in the past year or so have been from Eritrea

Not a conspiracy person.

I just think that society is bending at an unsutainable rate in the last few years to accomodate every whim and upset person’s viewpoint, much of this is due to social media, and every jackdaw like you and I, has an opinion and the people advising govt are reading these and are hyper sensitive to this, to justify their salaries and feel reward in their jobs. Every breeze that will make someone look current, sensitive and with it, will be hooshed on aggresively - with zero thought for longer affects.

This is the new flu, that’s what it’s going to be. That’s its place on the podium of world disease - we have a way of not making you even remotely sick and or dying, though. Unfortunately, it’s a massive virtue signalling moment for some people at the top of the class, and it’s been said a thousand times, but power (notionally, or not) and influence is hard to give up.

People are mistaking this new variant (June 25th - stay tuned or get the new variant on the Player ahead of next week’s episode) for hayfever.

This has gone on long enough, now. We’ve paid our due dilligence and quite frankly, fuck off.

But that is conspiracy thinking. You say people are mistaking the Delta variant for hayfever.

That would be to say that pretty much the entirety of the world’s scientific community are either idiots or are running a conspiracy.

Cliches such as “virtue signalling” are utterly meaningless, not just in general but especially in relation to this.

You say “every jackdaw has an opinion”. That’s an admission that you (and I, and everybody else here) know nothing.

And yet you turn around and dismiss the opinions of the world’s scientific community.

People on this forum are furious that Tony Holohan is not listening to them. I’m delighted he’s not. He shouldn’t be. None of the people tasked with responsibility should be listening to anybody here.

@Tank

You because your life was already dull and joyless and now you can drag other people down to your level.

Also NPHET want to extend it solely because they’re now in a position of power and it is human nature to never let a position of power go - deceive yourself into inventing a reason for why you’re continuing power is justified and necessary.

This is the pattern seen throughout human history. There was a social experiment done in one of the US colleges once where they took some random people into a prison and made them prisoners and then they took some other random people and made them guards. Everybody knew they were all regular people and it was just an experiment but they had to act out the roles. After a few weeks the guards were talking to each other about how they could never let the prisoners out again and the experiment had to be stopped because it was getting too dangerous. NPHET is like that.

Also various public health experts want the lockdown to continue because it makes them rich and famous.

Also RTE want the lockdown to continue because their main advertiser is now the government and they have increased their viewing figures. It’s helping them get close to breaking even.

My friend wants the lockdown to continue so she can work from home and spend more time with her young daughter. A lot of people I know want it to continue so they can work from home.

So a lot of people want lockdown to continue.

OK Aisling.

@Arthur

I agree with you there is no over arching conspiracy like that. But there is DEFINITELY an element of the public health experts in Ireland being overly cautious as they have been on full pay throughout and there is an element who are anti alcohol.

Of course they’re cautious. They’re the ones with the responsibility. Nobody here faces such responsibility if things go tits up. The government publicly overruled NPHET twice before in order to be popular with people like the majority of posters here, with disastrous consequences. NPHET are cautious because if it goes tits up they take the rap.

Saying that they want to prolong restrictions for money is conspiracy thinking.

“There is an element who are anti-alcohol”. Pretty much any serious people in the medical field advise against binge drinking, if that’s what you’re on about. It’s not some conspiracy. Same as them being anti-smoking is not some conspiracy.

The Stanford Prison experiment is extremely relevant to the rise of far right politics worldwide, and the anti-woke insanity currently sweeping middle aged men everywhere.

To say it’s relevant to the conduct of medical and scientific elites during a pandemic necessitates the belief that the pandemic “is all bullshit”.

I would certainly argue that the Stanford experiment is relevant to the conduct of those who have been disgracefully cavalier during this pandemic, most notably Trump, Bolsonaro, De Santis and Modi, who so clearly did not give a toss whatsoever if large numbers of people lost their lives and engaged in shameless hubris at every turn, all to satisfy their Ayn Rand, Darwinian survival of the fittest urges.

Yes, the symptoms are same, as is quite common for an upper nasal region infection

That would be to say that pretty much the entirety of the world’s scientific community are either idiots or are running a conspiracy.

This conversation is about the CMO’s of Eire’s direction.

Cliches such as “virtue signalling” are utterly meaningless, not just in general but especially in relation to this.

You say “every jackdaw has an opinion”. That’s an admission that you (and I, and everybody else here) know nothing. (You seem to be a base moron, compromised intellectually, or just a wum - with emphasis on the last part)

And yet you turn around and dismiss the opinions of the world’s scientific community. (the world’s scientific community have let their opinion be known - Ireland, and Tony Holohan have indicated that they know more than the rest of the world)

People on this forum are furious that Tony Holohan is not listening to them. I’m delighted he’s not. He shouldn’t be. None of the people tasked with responsibility should be listening to anybody here.

(Your personality on here dictates that practicalities for social well-being are not possible - the world has existed through trial and error for 2 thousand years - your views are consistently the views of an 8 year old)

You say “every jackdaw has an opinion”. That’s an admission that you (and I, and everybody else here) know nothing. (and? i was trying to humour you, as you make certain threads unreadabe with your idiocy and i’m not au fait with muting people, I can’t be alone though?)

And yet you turn around and dismiss the opinions of the world’s scientific community (as above)

That’s some load of rot. It used to be obvious when posters here were being satirical. Now a load of posters have decided to genuinely become parodies.
