if love is unpure is not love. if love is pure is not love. so what you're implying can't be love. that's what that expression means about intentions and paving roads to hell, but it only applies to lobotomized pokemons who always try to bottle for the rest of us something that appears as something to them, but always end up bottling genies. For snake oil peddlers it's entirely different story.

How much?

>>73915730
Is it both ears or just one.

I've been having hearing problems in my right ear for nearly 2 years now.
It goes away for a few months, then I wake up in the morning and all of a sudden it's blocked up with shite

>>73915774
a couple of drops with an eyedropper

>>73915790
It was in both ears for a while but the right one is mostly fine now. The left ear is clogged almost all the time with brief moments of opening then closing again.

Dr says the tube between my ear and nose is thin and should pop my ear every day for 20 days to widen it. IT'S BEEN 9 FUCKING MONTHS

>>73915837
Do you sleep on your left side?

>>73915892
I usually do but I've been sleeping on my right since this started. I'm afraid if I go back to left then they'll both go.

>>73915932
There's an over the counter syrup you can get from pharmacies that thins the mucus in your head to make it easier to dislodge. I've had something like that for a few weeks before but taking that for a few days and then lying on the side opposite to the blockage eventually sorted it out.

I fucking hate the countryside. I grew up in it, you live 50 miles from anyone, you need travel 40 minutes just to get milk or bread behind a tractor on shitty roads. Fancy a take out? Well no one delivers. Do you like going out? Well walk to the local in the rain and muck on shitty roads where everyone speeds and drink drives or get a taxi out ot the town just for 40€ both ways. Get used to the smell of shite and midges eating your scalp. OH NO! Having a heart attack? Well that ambulance will be out in 2 hours try not to die, might as well shitpost to kill time on your Australian tier internet that you are paying €50 a month for
That being said, big cities like Cork and Dublin are fucking awful to. Small towns are the best

It doesn't really matter that much anyway, the whole reason for this assembly was just because FG didn't want to call a referendum on the issue themselves as they'd piss off some of their voters, this method lets them call a referendum because the assembly recommeneded it instead, it was likely filled with people who want a referendum to get a referendum called.

That's one of the problems with a party system, they'll always go with the party line, a citizens assembly is democratic and it was always going to end in a referendum, now people will feel like it was a public choice.
I'm glad it didn't go for the free for all path of flat out repeal, yes people have a right to bodily autonomy but that doesn't mean control over anothers body i.e. The foetus. It'll be interesting to see what happens next, the next vote is for it being a constitutional change or leaving it in the hands of the Oireachtas which will be back to party lines etc.

That's a bigger problem in Ireland as every party has a strong whip here, anyone who votes against it is out of the party for anything here, most other countries have parties which are less severe than that where you can go against the party on numerous issues and still be in it. I'm happy there's a referendum though.
We'll see what happens next, I hope they don't recommend all out repeal, I'd be fine with something like >>73923297

Why? We're getting a pretty good deal out of the EU in its current form.

>>73928762

That's more of a problem with us as Ireland is trying to base its economic prosperity by riding on the coattails of the rest of the world, if there's another global recession Ireland will be very badly hit. Some reforms would benefit us too if they try and stop the trend towards tax harmonistation or an EU military.

To a sense, yes, but thinking about it he's more the candidate for the vested interests who want to get involved in the political system, not just the banking sector.
Why do you support Macron anyway, most of his policies seem to go against what you believe in from what you've said here, is it because of your job out there and don't want it to be at risk or is it something else?

>>73929354
I just think in the long run it's going to go down a bad road if they want to keep the trend of taking powers away from the countries in it and centralising around Germany, that won't benefit Ireland long term if it effectively becomes a German vassal state. If that continues the more "extremist" candidates could get in even more often, the people within countries could be more divided and if we're unlucky we'll get an increase of violence due to that. If someone tries to reform the EU it might not go on that path if we bite the bullet and get Le Pen or Melenchon or someone similar in other countries now to halt that trend.

>>73929264
>Un-elected bureaucrats like Juncker
This is a pretty bogus far right myth. The People's Party (of which FG is a member and Phil Hogan is one of those on the commission) was elected as the largest representative party in the EU and Juncker was their nomination for leadership. It's no different than how in this country the largest party chooses its representative, does that make Enda Kenny un-elected?

The problem is in an Irish general election is that you know Enda Kenny will be Taoiseach if we elect FG or whoever their future leader, and the same elsewhere, and even if the 28 agree on someone we have no influence on how the other 27 pick their candidate, so we have control to an extent but not full control.
Phil Hogan being there is also part of the problem of how they choose candidates for their roles, he was put there after he did a horrendous job as Minister for Enviroment and Local affairs, and was put there to get him to remove him being accountable to people here.

The British thought they were electing Cameron as prime minister and wound up with Theresa May shortly after. At some point we're going to have Varadker or Covney running things, similar situation to Juncker by your definition. We already believe in the voting system on the basis of the electing individuals and the largest party determining the leader rather than directly choosing the leader so I'm not sure why it'd surface as an issue at EU level but not for local governance.

That is what is happening, and with the likes of the Brexit vote there was a massive divide between those who voted Remain or Leave. Those divides could increase in the future. If the more "moderate" candidates don't try and appease the demands of others to an extent those divides and tensions will increase.

>>73930430
No. We could have let Anglo Irish bank collapse and the market would have taken the hit, not the state. Instead, the EU forced us to bail out Anglo irish bank because if it collapsed it would have hurt the Eurozone. We were literally made to do it because the EU didn't want us to hurt Germany and Frances economy

>>73930516

Clearly not since the EPP remains the biggest party.
>Every country should try and elect someone who does the best for their country, not just to suck up to Germany.

It's a union. Countries join it for shared benefit. It isn't in some way problematic that a single country doesn't have a controlling stake in the Union.

She would eventually face an election, she would only leave without facing the people if something bad happened under her control where she was forced out. Junckner and the others never has to face anybody in a direct election and might not be forced out if he does a major fuck up.
>What? People here may run as FG, but they are part of the EPP, and will vote with the EPP? They are for all intents and purposes EPP candidates.
Not every party in that grouping has the same policies, similar but not equal. We don't have the case in Ireland or most other places where say the FG Offaly branch has a few significant differences to the FG Mayo branch, this is what happens for the EU parliament. Before you say it I know candidates in parties vary on some policies.
>>73930875

Their share has decreased with other EUphile groupings like with EU skeptic groupings like ENL, GUE-NEL and EFDD has increased.
>>73930875
>The best interests of Ireland and the best interests of the EU aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
No, but if we have nobody that will fight out corner we'll just get bullied by Germany and the other more powerful countries.
>It isn't in some way problematic that a single country doesn't have a controlling stake in the Union.
Germany is tending towards that single country gaining the controlling stake.

>>73930662
We weren't made to do anything but it would have been far more difficult to negotiate an EU loan if we weren't willing to agree to EU terms. Both FF and FG agreed it was the best course.
Burning bondholders and letting a bank go under would have dire consequences for our reputation and market confidence in the long term, in the end it was the correct decision.

>>73931086
>Their share has decreased with other EUphile groupings like with EU skeptic groupings like ENL, GUE-NEL and EFDD has increased.
So EU democracy is working and having its say? If that is the will of the EU people as you say then very soon the EPP will not be the largest party and you'll be rid of Juncker and we'll have some supposedly un-elected euro skeptic leader instead. It all seems to be working as expected, not really seeing where the tyrannical dictatorship comes into play.

It's not a tyrranical dictatorship, but Juncker and the others aren't directly accountable to the people, only indirectly affected by them. In that position they can or someone else in the future can strip more powers away.
>>73931266
>What do you mean? They will never have a majority vote in a Union of 28 countries.
The policy of the EU shifts towards what Germany wants, in the case of the euro they were the key beneficiaries at the expense of Greece and others who had some advantages and disadvantages, the migration policy is also what they wanted as they wanted cheap labour.

Well, for one, the Parliament can't specify which Commissioners they do or don't want. They have to approve/disapprove the collegiate as a whole, not individuals. This allows for absolutely RAMPANT corruption (the Santer Commission).

The Commission used to be elected by the European Council (i.e. the Heads of all National Governments), instead it was lobbied for spitzenkandidaten and now we have barely 40% of people (MEP turnouts are insanely low across Europe) voting.

The EPP only got about 29% of the vote in the last election.

29% of 42% of voters.

How in the fuck is the Commission being elected based on the support of 12% of the people in Europe in ANY way democratic?

The European Parliament and the European Commission are nothing less than money sinks.

Debt isn't necessarily a bad thing for a country, it's not like an asset's debt. That graph might not be too accurate though as it uses GDP which isn't that accurate for Ireland because of all the companies who funnel taxes here which don't go into the economy, I'm not an economist but there are more accurate methods than GDP for Ireland like GNP.
>>73932003
I agree with all your points bar the central points about democratic percentages. That's sadly the case everywhere, here for example FG were elected by 16.6% of the population who voted. Pic related.

A financial bomb, it was a warning for the consequences of not following their advice. They don't have any authority to "make us" do anything, the decision was taken by FF and continued by FG.
That quote was by the way communicated through Varadker with the intent of FG scaring the public into believing the bailout was the correct path rather than troika attempting to intimidate the Irish public.

Not entirely true. It's a -little- more accurate, but still doesn't account for inverted mergers. An ""Irish"" company buys an American company (so now the American company is domiciled here). The American company is the one that generates all the wealth, but having been domiciled it is counted as an "Irish" company.

Look up corporate tax inversion, it's an absolute shitshow of fuckery.

>>73932322
>They don't have any authority to "make us" do anything

They got what they wanted by using strongarm tactics, that is what authority is. They may not have the express legal right, but the odds of a country ACTUALLY trying to stand up to the EU results in vicious attacks against them on a plethora of issues.

Look at Poland, Hungary or Slovakia. None of them want refugees, and the EU doesn't have competency in refugee resettlement - yet the EU is threatening them with expulsion from the EU, is threatening them with a €250,000 fine for each refugee they refuse (they've used the term punitive).

You're pretending the EU is in anyway caring about what it does and doesn't have competency in. It's a fucking stitch up job consisting of federalists. They might not have competency in some areas, but they certainly want them in those areas, and they'll leverage the fuck out of their position in order to get it - whether it's legal or moral or not.

The Commission was a mistake and should have a stake put through its heart, the Parliament is a shitshow of pseudo-democracy. The CJEU isn't even a real court of justice, it's a politically motivated court ("ever deeper union" being their ethos). The EU having EXCLUSIVE competency over fisheries was a mistake. The Eurozone was a mistake.

The only good thing to come out of Europe was the single market, the rest of it needs to be thoroughly and utterly ripped apart and salted beneath the feet of nationally accountable Governments.

>>73932850
>Not entirely true.
There's like 12 different methods, they're all slightly more accurate to a degree depending on the situation, GNP probably isn't the best one but is slightly better than GDP, it's the only other one I know of.
>Look up corporate tax inversion, it's an absolute shitshow of fuckery.
That makes every method more difficult.
I also agree with everything in the other reply you had, we need to go back to just a single market.

>>73939062
Not many, and fewer still that are anything more than a small hole in the ground. Most would be in the karst/limestone formations on the west, though some parts are pockmarked with old mine shafts like the wicklow mountains.

I'm not a footfag I'm a tightsfag.

>>73944047
I have a sexual attraction to certain types of fabric. It's not my fault if people only wear them on their feet.

>>73944060
Excellent taste.

>>73943988
Come on now, lad. That is a bit extreme there. Feet are the best part of a woman's body. The next best thing is the collar bone and slender neck.

>>73944131
I accept that but I feel concern that frogweebs research focused on the feet rather than the legs or the fabric.

Never heard of them, seems like skimping on the materials.

>>73944257
Face, ass, tits, and general body shape rank far above lowly feet.
