People talkin'
If you've got a forum with 115,000 registered accounts, 600,000 threads and more than seven million posts, you've got a useful source of information, whatever the topic. If the issues discussed are mostly from an Irish perspective, it's worth having a look, especially, when it concerns tomorrow's historic referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. This is the web generation after all so let's see what it's saying at boards.ie.
I'm voting No basically as a Fuck You to the government. I thought they would have learnt after the first Nice treaty that you can't just basically say to the general public "Vote Yes Because We Tell You To". If questioned it essentially amounts to "It's Good For You To Vote Yes".
Stong yes. Some things are bigger than the pettiness and completely unfounded mistruths that have been peddled as "fact" by the No campaign. The treaty in my view is essential for Europe and its evolution;an evolution I strongly believe we should be part of. Whatever way you vote inform yourself on the facts.
I'm still very much undecided (first time voting in anything so I want to get it right!) I've been leaning slightly towards "No" but I'm gonna a lot more before I make my final decision
Definate No!! Being a part of the "united states of europe" as theyr callin it now is just showin how much we're lettin our cultural identity slip. We already lost our language to the point of near non-existence, the capital is a-wash with multiculturalism its a genuine shock when more than 10 people on the bus speak english!
The French and the Dutch rejected this treaty/constitution and the people of every other EU member state would do likewise if they could. But they can't, because they won't be allowed vote. Will the Irish say "Yes" tomorrow to something most people don't understand and many fear?
