Yeah, kinda true.  Ultimately "the land" belongs to no man, just mother nature.  And she'll take it all back one day.

Hey pipe down you can't blame all of us, if you're new to this place read alot of post to get a general feel for the american people, I'd have to say it's pretty 50/50. And last time I checked I wasn't in power..

Fass for president 2007(That's when the impeachement will come)
Remember the impeachment thread, we can't impeach if a crime has not been committed.  I personally think he's murdered the English language, but that's my opinion.
He also murdered billions of brain cells with tons of alcohol.  That's why he's got only one now.

Have you travelled extensively at all? Been to USA or anything? Third world?

I was brought up in 1980s Donegal - that was poverty. Much like Roscommon I would have imagined. Times have changed unbelievably. We now have almost zero unemployment, massive immigration and the highest levels of disposable income in the world. All the economic indicators suggest we have a great economy. The Economist magazine has Ireland as the country with the highest 'Quality of Life' in the world. Our government opened the SSIA scheme because we have so much money and we spend so much money that inflation was getting out of control!! I can't imagine many other governemnts giving 25% interest rates to ensure that you save money!!!
I've been to the UK, Holland, Spain and France multiple times and the USA once.

Sure everything looks like its on the up and up but in reality prices for everything here are at an all time extreme high. IMO this counteracts any benefit from higher wages or more disposable income.

The SSIA was conceived because at the time, the government needed money ASAP and it was a pretty good idea; that is untill pay day arrived and they realised the money needed to repay the people was not gonna come easy.

Look at the cost of a house in Dublin these days, and compare it to an average wage. God help anyone thinking about buying

At least you do have high wages America IMO is on the brink of an economic disastor. Over spending, home value's through the roof, the stock market is hanging on by a thread inept political parties.

By those criteria, I'd say we've been on the "the brink of an economic disaster" for twenty years.

But you say that the stock market is hanging on by a thread. What do you mean by that?

Who blew the cobwebs off this one?? I think you'll find immigration to the US tapered off when we became the best economy in Europe Hunter. In fact there are quite a few Americans immigrating to Ireland these days. My gf is Canadian even. I never realised you were so petty.

Why do did so many Irish immigrate here in the 19th Century? Really it was to take a chance in the "land of opportunity." It was in much better shape than Ireland and evern after they came here they faced all sorts of discrimination not only from nativists for being an immigrant but also from the Protestants who were upset with the heavy drinking of the immigrant Catholics from Germany and Ireland. Still, play nice.
