It was a bit scary - strong echoes of the past - reading all of the posts in the crypto forum on boards going on about 'day trading' and chart analysis, etc... Like a carbon copy of what people were getting excited about during the madness of the dotcom boom, went a bit mad myself at the time so I remember it well!

An undercover team led by Grayson lands on Sargas 4, an Earth-like planet with a culture similar to that of 21st-century human civilization, to locate two missing anthropologists. There, LaMarr is arrested after a video of him dancing with a beloved statue receives more than a million "down" votes, and must convince the public to pardon him or be subjected to "treatment" for his actions.
In a way I can agree with this. Then I consider that studies about video game violence show that they don't make people more violent. That people are able to understand that fantasy and reality are different, and that what we see on TV is not a a guideline for how to live your life and act. And then even if it did, models on TV looking glamorous are just that. If the F1 stars were abusing / harassing the women and somehow making it look like that was appropriate, then perhaps this argument can hold some water.
But they're not. Are they? (I haven't watched F1 in a long time)Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 06-02-18, 11:01.

Originally posted by Mellor View PostI agree it makes sense to vote on the matter, I think it would need to be an unbinding plebiscite rather than a referendum (Kayroo can confirm). I've no issue with people voting against the current proposal or any proposal btw. But I'm not a huge fan of people knowingly misusing the the constitution to protect their interest.
1. The Dail passes the Abortion Bill 2019 and sends it to the President.
2. Before it gets to the President a majority in Dail Eireann and at least one-third of the Seanad sign a petition asking the President to decline to sign the Bill as it contains a matter of such national importance that the will of the people should be ascertained.
3. The President convenes the Council of State and considers whether or not the Bill does contain a matter of such national importance that the will of the people should be ascertained. He has to do this within 10 days.
4. The President announces his decision - in this scenario we will assume he decides it is of such importance.
At this point there are 2 options:
1. Referendum
2. A general election is called. After it has been completed the newly formed Dail Eireann passes a declaration that the Bill should be signed or not.
The President is then bound, as soon thereafter as may be practical, to either sign or decline to sign the Bill entirely.
The results are binding in that the President must or must not sign depending on the outcome.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

What about a non-binding plebiscite? Is there any legal issue with asking the question of the electorate? The government is free to ignore of course, but it's also a means to wash their hands of tough decisions.

Nothing special. Just Irish weather. When it was his turn he spoke about the big freeze of 2010 and how drastic it was compared to the norm. I found it interesting anyway.

i did another tactical rugby piece, talking about the 1322 formation and shape that a lot of teams play(ireland, leinster etc will use this a lot when attacking from wide channels) . Audio isnt great for some reason but it would help me out a lot if you could click on the link and press play.

However, I don't think we should do that. The Constitution sets down the way this works. For anything that doesn't meet that standard then it's representative democracy all the way. The Dail will decide. And if the people don't like it then they can change the make up of the Dail and the new Dail can change the law. That's how it works.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

The most obvious example of this is the recent same-sex marriage in Australia.

New Cloverfield is rubbish. I'm not surprised but I was hoping.
San Diego is unreal Hitch. Whats the trip for? Atlassian hold their conference there, or did last year.
I get to go to a summit in New Jersey, in March. Which is basically the complete opposite of San Diego in most ways.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

He was eager to create new, cash-generating ventures at Airbnb, people familiar with his work said. He quietly built a hedge fund within the company’s finance department. He used a portion of capital from the balance sheet to buy stocks, currencies and fixed-income securities, mimicking the treasury fund he ran at Blackstone. The side project represented 30 percent of the company’s cash flow last year and made about $5 million a month for Airbnb, the people said.
