Another 105 Syrians arrived in dublin today to be re located,and after spending a short time in balihedreen,they will be housed,and upon arrival will be immediately issued wwith full medical cards.soon after that ,they will be housed in their own homes while Irish people STILL ,lie in doorways. A fukking disgrace

It's one of the joys of being part of a global community. Ever hear of the phrase, 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours'. Someday we'll need a favour from the EU, UN and/or the Syrians and we can use this as a bargaining chip.
And, anyways, it's nice to be nice rofl
-
Glad your happy,cause most of these fukkiers will be driving taxis as soon as they utter the words I want to work
-
I think we are the ones doing the favours for the EU now,if you check the records,you will find we are now net contributors to the cesspit called the EU .Ireland out.

We do seem to be hell bent on destroying our own planet, Japan's latest announcement that it is to restart commercial whaling was not good news. We have polluted every ocean and river, cut down many forests which supply us with clean air, dug up and burned almost all of this planet's fossil fuels which in turn has over-heated our own atmosphere. There is only so much Fooking about with this planet that we can do before she bares her teeth back at us.
If every species of Bird, Fish, Animal and Insect that we share this planet with were surveyed and asked which other species would they like to see go extinct, then I reckon Mr Human would be Odds-on favourite.

105 isn't a whole lot. Hopefully they will want to work and become productive members of society. Our trade has played a significant role in integration. I frequently hear from passengers that it's unusual to find a white Irishman driving a taxi up above in Dublin these days. Although it means more competition for us, I guess it's a natural choice for immigrants as they are often unskilled or have qualifications that aren't recognised here. However, we invest heavily in their Children's education so in generations to come their contribution to society and the economy ought to increase. Who knows, there may even be a future (homosexual) Taoiseach in their midst.

In 20 years time there will be 1.2 billion more Africans.....and half the African continent will be uninhabitable, as will the middle east, India......
We'r do they think there goin to go?

We (the West) owe Africa something.
In the 19th century, Colonial Europe destoyed Africa once. The Irish finished the job by introducing Christianity and the Missonaries.
In the 20th century, Europe and the USA did it again after WW1 and WW2. Ditto in the Middle East.
In the 21st century, the Industrial Western countries are destroying their countries by bringing about climate change.
'Tis no wonder they want to get out of Dodge and come to Europe.
(Now, where's that 'I'll get my coat and flee' icon lol )
-
I dont want them to integrate,I just want to fukk off back to wherever they came from.I hate this so called new,progressive Ireland.I dont welcome refugees,or economic migrants.these people are protected here by the loony left,and the immigrant council of Ireland.our politicans are afraid of their shite to say anything derogatory about migrants,because if the bleeding hearts brigade,or the immigrant council,take a dim view of it,their political carrier could be over
-
Ireland *is* a country of economic migrants! I've worked in 4 different countries, for example.
Maybe that's why the Africans love us? And don't forget the Nigerian Guinness!
Our population basically halved during the Great Famine of c1840's. What would have done with the 3 million Irish people who were forced to leave Ireland during that time?
Or the 100's of 1000's of Irish who were forced to leave when Ireland was an economic wasteland for most of the 20th century?
-
That argument is done to death watty.I dont welcome people here who will come into our industry ,and take our jobs.its like rat says ,because its a low skills job,the government unload into the industry. Its a way of massaging the live registrar figures.the fact is,there is supposed to be a detailed knowledge test,and some of these people cannot even speak English ,how the fukk could they be passing the test.its also a fact that they are only vetted from the date of their arrival in this country.the politicans know this,but through fear of the immigrant council of Ireland,they are terrified to open their mouths.what pisses me off even more is,the drivers are well aware of this ,but instead of taking this threat to their livlehoods seriously,they would rather do what the politicians do say nothing
-
Would you be ok if the Africans came here and all became barmen or binmen like the Polish/Eastern Europeans? Just not taxi drivers?
-
No I would not.I have said many times .in addition to the obvious threat to my livlehood,I also feel I have lost my national identity,culture ,and heritage. Not to mention the sovereignty of our country to the EU crooks
-
They have boats now Daly....are ya watching Sky news...they're gonna be coming directly here to avoid the Uk Brexit mess as soon as the weather improves...the Irish navy will be only too happy to scoop them up for their own safety when they get close enough.If they can sail a boat they'd be well able to drive a Prius...

Yes we Irish emigrated to all parts of the world,
But we didn't get FREE houses FREE furniture
FREE MEDICAL CARDS,
We worked our arses off to survive.
The Irish got nothing for FREE,
IT'S a fucking disgrace what's going on in this country.
And what even more frustrating is we have no one in Kildare Street to speak out against this shit.
How many refugees did Saudi Arabia , UNAE, Dubai ,Qatar, take, All the wealthiest Muslim countries in the world,
We don't want any muzzie ideology shit here.

@ dalymount
Is our culture not unlike the Irish Travellers; we move around looking for work. Instead of going county to county, we go country to country like Engerland and America looking for work?
And is our heritage not going abroad and begging/buttering up naive Americans to come here and open factories so we can work for the Americans rather than the Brits? Google 'Leprechaun economics' to see what I mean. Also, Guinness (or porter) started life in London rather than in Ireland, if we're being honest.

I agree with you 99%. We didn't start it but we helped finish it with the missionaries (religion).
My quoted question was to Dalymount since he has a very narrow view of things. I was wondering how 'wide' or accomodating he was going to be. Was it all foreigners or just 'dem blacks'.

The Irish were forced to leave but they had the luxury to go to places like America/UK where there was a support network in place. It was bad but it wasn't that bad. 24hrs after leaving Ireland, you'd be drinking pints with someone from your county.
In truth, the Africans probably never heard of Ireland before they paid thousands to get here. The Africans live in direct provision (Mosney with e20/week) for years until they get in properly. Coming from countries where social welfare is non-existant, they're probably as shocked as you/me at how generous our welfare system is.
P.S. Plenty of white muslims in Eastern Eurore & the fomer 'Russia'.
Anyways, that's me for tonight - off to watch TV... Think I might watch an American TV show. Maybe a TV show from one of the 'Scandi' countries. Or maybe catch up with the French TV show, 'The Bureau'. So hard to choose :D

I appreciate your view, DM. However, it is clearly a minority one. Irish folk are generally very welcoming and it is clear that the vast majority welcome a multi-cultured society. Politicians are elected so it stands to reason that the views of the majority shape policy. I do, however, think there is a place for an anti-immigration party to properly quantify and represent those who disagree with multiculturisation.

Naive post of the year. In England, in particular, the Irish were responsible for defrauding billions of pounds from Welfare... in fact it was even endorsed as a strategy by Irish Republicans - the same so-called republicans who want men sacked from taxi driving on foot of convictions (relevant or otherwise) handed down by the British Judiciary, the same judiciary that convicted the Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four.
Media and court reports suggest that Eastern European immigrants have a particularly high propensity to engage in violent crime, up to and including murder. We once had a Russian/Eastern European disco in Swords, the place was a cesspit. These aren't like the largely pleasant drunken Irish immigrants of yesteryear who might have the occasional brawl... the only craic they're interested in is crack cocaine and their brawls often end in stabbings and serious injury. Similarly, we have witnessed organised crime gangs from Russia/Eastern Europe muscling in on our own gangs. The Eastern Europeans pretty much control the prostitution scene, for example, up above in Dublin.

There are 3 such partys in Ireland .identity Ireland,the national Irish party,and irixit freedom party
-
This country is now gone to hell.I used to be fiercely proud to be Irish,but since the rise of the left led by the likes of Boyd Barrett,Ruth Coppinger,etc where the openly promote homosexuality,abortion,gay marriage,etc etc and they try to muzzle anyone who would have an opposing view these people call themselves democrats,they dont know the meaning of the word democracy.if you are really honest ,think back to the gay marriage referendum (and im slow to use the word marriage in this context,) if you said you were voting against it,you were frowned upon nearly fukking intimidated.the same with abortion etc etc .if this is the Ireland we now have to live in,im ashamed to be Irish.
-
There's your first problem... 3 parties. Your next problem is politicians' natural inclination to speak. What you need is one party with one policy and a one line answer to every question, something along the lines of there'll be no immigrants in Ireland when we get into power. If pressed they should go no further than saying.. they'll be gone, vote for us and they'll be gone.
Trying to explain how you'll get rid of them or justify why only serves to lose support. For example, the best reason why is probably the homeless argument... but, let's be brutally honest here. Take a relatively rural community and tell it that your going to build 186 houses which can either be:
i) sold on the open market and end up being owner occupied or rented to a variety of tenants resulting in occupants being 6% African immigrants, 4% Eastern European immigrants, 23% locals and 67% employed Dublin commuter "immigrants".
or;
ii) used to house homeless Dublin "immigrants".
Given the choice, option (i) would win hands down. Folk associate homelessness with drug abuse, petty crime, etc, etc... everybody wants to house the homeless provided it's in someone else's backyard.
I agree 100% as far as Gay Marriage is concerned. Seventy something percent of the population identified as Roman Catholic at the last census yet a referendum that clearly conflicts with their religious beliefs and practices wins a landslide majority. I think we all know we can't blame the rise of Islam for that one!
-
Firstly rat I totally agree that the 3 partys should seriously consider amalgamation .I am a member of the irexit freedom party,and I hope in the event of time I will have the opportunity to formally propose consideration of this.I DO actually blame foreign influence for the change our country is now experiencing.before we had any muslims here,people were content with just being ourselves.I believe that the Irish people are now so hell bent on change,that if you listen to them speaking,their voices rises at the end of their sentence,they begin their sentence with thw word so,I would have been killed in school years ago for doing that.we have all these fukking educate togeather schools now,another erosion of our Irishness,just to appease the muslims.look at the time yer man Ibraham Hallawa was in jail in Egypt.no less then 10 of our politicans made the trip to Egypt to try to secure his realease (all at Irish tax payers expense),that cunt Lynn Boylan in particular.they thught there would be political gain in it for them
-
To be fair, Educate Together schools are often colloquially referred to as black schools, catering to Christian African immigrants as well as Muslims. However, it's highly unlikely that Muslims or true Christians from our immigrant population would support homosexual marriage.
The use of "so", "like", etc, etc probably stems more from American led globalisation than anything else. The world has become a much smaller place and TV shows, pop music, movies, etc are often global enterprises these days. The day we started drinking Coca-Cola probably marks the start of the erosion of our culture... or maybe when DCC let McDonalds open a restaurant on O'Connell Street back in the 70s?
-
The country is run by overpaid underworked snug, smaug, can't be arsed, keep the head down politicians,
All just waiting for the big fat outrageously immoral pensions,
Why would they give a flying fuck about a couple of thousand refugees that won't be planted beside them as next door neighbours.
As I said before ,
No one for me to vote for,
I will spoil my vote,
" Refugees"
" Houses for Irish first"
-
... but you're OK with the Eastern Europeans coming here to collect child benefit for children who don't even live in the State, coming here to put fat ugly Irish prostitutes onto the streets, coming here to run the pub door rackets up above in Dublin, etc, etc.... sure they're a great bunch of lads...
-
The problem with small political parties is that they're full of 'true believers'. So, inevitably, you get splits over the most minor things/policies. Politics is the art of the compromise so 'true believers' will always be on the outside looking in.
@ dalymount: I'd love to be able to see the vision(s) of Ireland that you have in your head. Ireland has mostly being a sh1thole for much of it's existence, certainly since our independence from the British.
I already mentioned all the foreign TV choices I can make. Furthermore, when I go back to work, I'll get into my Czech taxi, turn on my French meter, and get diesel from the Middle East. My first passenger is just as likely to be be a foreigner as an Irish one. 12% of the population is 'foreign' these days. Our economy would collapse if the Americans pulled out. We live in a globalised world. We'd be much better learning German or Mandarin rather than the cupla focal.

I actually wrote to Charlie Flanagan some time ago to ask a number of questions .surprisingly I actully got a reply .I dont believe the answers I got however.
I firstly asked why a blind eye is being turned to the fact that these immigrants,who. are being granted PSV licences are not being properly vetted ? He denied it,stating that the Gaurdai complete a detailed check on their backgrounds.I also asked how can it be the case that some of them cannot even speak English yet they are passing a written test based on their knowledge of the area they propose to operate in ? He also denied this stating that the Gardai are respinsible for the conducting of such tests,and they conduct them in accordance with the law.now if tou put the REAL interpretation on these answers,it should read,we know the test is fixed in favour of foreigners,but we have nowhere else to put them so we have to overload the taxi industry besides we are terrified of the immigrant council of Ireland,we could loose our careers if we offend foreigners so its betrer if we turn a blind eye.I hope you understand our position Paul

There are three main parties ,Google ,Facebook and twitter .The day of Big Mursheen O Tool gladhanding at the chapelgate are over .As I tell our kid get a civil service job she says doing what I reply collecting wages .TDs ministers EU all do the bidding of the big 3 parties but here is the problem .WHO ARE GOOGLE .they are you and me they collect data list it in order of popularity .Top google searches are Ramming cock up hole mostly searches by pervs but politically that reads same sex .Migration is the buzzword for imigration so the politicians who really only have one thing in mind getting people to like them for the 16 hours the polling station is open latch on to the buzzwords and the plebs who are allowed to vote go along with the buzzwords .So the policy is Google liberalism Trump just looked at Google for most googled terms in the USA immigration was the top one most people looking how to emigrate to the USA but Donny saw it as Americans wanting tostop it .Illegal imigration in the USA could be stamped out overnight by imposing a 100k fine on anybody employing an illegal immigrant but that wouldnt suit Donny and his mates who employ millions of them on their farms golf courses hotels restaurants .There is no Political leadership in the world most western politicians get their manifesto from google search the Cleptocrats are still ripping off their countries but the next big Political movement will be Mobocricy where the will of the mob will become government Policy .Watch Macron in France relent to the mob and the outcome of Brexit will be down to mob mentality ,it hasent happened yet but street protests all over Britain will decide leave or second ballott .Your right Dalyer about liberal illigitimates like Boyd Barrett and yer one from blanch they say what Google search show as top searches but dont believe a word they just want to be liked for 18 hours on poling day .If your mates want to get elected dont mention immigrants just offer sweets and a bottle of pop .
Homelessness wont work as a platform because most Irish people have homes ,Immigration wont work as a policy as most Irish families have members abroad .If I wanted to get elected I would stand as an anti tax candidate reduce tax on smokes gargle and petrol simple as .Put it forward as an attack on our liberty .taxed out of enjoying a smoke taxed out of enjoying a drink taxed out of visiting friends by expensive fuel make it a civil liberties issue them if you get elected you have a vote and then you develope your policies ,bit of a cuckoo in the nest .If you were trying to punch someone in the mouth you wouldnt warn them in advance .
-
Nobody cares what taxi drivers think.Any of yis who think otherwise are deluded.Maybe the drunks yer driving around might agree with everything yer saying when you're working but when they sober up they might not be so enthusiastic and agreeable.Think about it.
-
London ,NY ,Ireland are probably the only areas where taxi driving is considered a career any where else it is a minimum wage employment for social misfits .In what other line of business would you be asked to drive drunk punters into a flats complex to score class A drugs and not see any great danger in it .Taxi driving is not a job its a life choice .
-
Taxi drivers views are as valid as anyone elses .each taxi driver has a vote,and it carries the same weight as anyone elses

How old is that reply?
The first part is correct insofar as An Garda Síochána is responsible for vetting. However, we know that it's nigh on impossible to verify backgrounds of those who came through the Asylum seeking process. It's no coincidence that the security trade with it's relaxed approach to vetting immigrants is the only trade that can boast more immigrant licensees than the taxi trade.
Te second part is incorrect or at least out of date. That mean and nasty lady, Kathleen Doyle, introduced a new entry exam back when she was in charge of NTA. Since that happened NTA is responsible for the entrance exam. An Garda Síochána have no hand, act or part in the same.

We know that, Irish folk like agreeable conversation and often play to our stereotypes to engage in such. I sometimes play with them a bit, leading them down the racist road only to turn the tables and suggest their views are highly objectionable by the end of the journey... can be fun but only really with sober, comparatively eloquent punters.

Hard to find a taximan that speaks english in New York, never mind a native American. Uber is your only man over there!
-
Yeah I'm not trying to run anyone down but we have to realise that we have a captive audience for 15/20 mins.Just because it seems like they agree with us doesn't mean we're on to something amazing that will change the country.I've never once asked the bus driver what he/she/they thinks about politics and I hope he/she/they never tries to talk to me about immigration.
-
Actually, one of my favourite "sports" is when they have a story about one of dem blacks not having a clue where somewhere is or how to get there. I agree that it's a disgrace and question how the fuck they got licensed while asking for directions at every junction!
-
Yeah I get that sometimes....they'll say 'Oh you're Irish,I'm glad you're not one of them foreigners overcharging me and not knowing where they're going'...sometimes I'll say 'you'd prefer to be robbed by one of your own so?No bother'.
-
My usual reply to robbing foreigners is simple .I say I never get taxies .................real conversation stopper .
-
Wether anyone on this forum sees taxi driving as a career ,or not, it is after all your livlehoods,and the degree with which most of you dont take your jobs serious,never ceases to amaze me.maybe its just me,but I tend to think if you have a young family,and domestic bills to pay,then you should be foremost in your challenge to prevent any breach of the regulations like PSV licences being issued to immigrants who cannot even speak English.all this is happening because politicians are afraid of the immigrant council of Ireland
-
I guess most of us are on the home straight so to speak, just working for the odd holiday or whatever. I suppose you have to look at the bigger picture, too. A lot of taximen would have house(s) rented out and the vast majority own their own house. Hence high rents and high property prices will suit many... economic migrants are probably necessary to keep prices high, even if not at current levels. We're also human beings with lives outside of taxi driving, some of us with immigrant friends and colleagues who have enriched our lives to some extent.
Also, it's hard to argue against new entrants when all of the many many many drivers' unions have vocalised support for dispatch firms like mytaxi calling for more drivers.

I guess most of us are on the home straight so to speak, just working for the odd holiday or whatever. I suppose you have to look at the bigger picture, too. A lot of taximen would have house(s) rented out and the vast majority own their own house. Hence high rents and high property prices will suit many... economic migrants are probably necessary to keep prices high, even if not at current levels. We're also human beings with lives outside of taxi driving, some of us with immigrant friends and colleagues who have enriched our lives to some extent.
Also, it's hard to argue against new entrants when all of the many many many drivers' unions have vocalised support for dispatch firms like mytaxi calling for more drivers.
Ratti do you know the way you keep sayin all the time that all them immigrants will be necessary to pay tax to pay for our pension and keep our spare gaffs rent up tru the roof?
How come we have produced so many babies of our own here...... That they have floodied the 4 corners of the earth and even now we have the busiest airport in Europe ferrying our young people all over the planet cause there's no fukin jobs in donegal, kerry or mayo to support them?? ???
I think you we'r conned by Leo verooka who keeps peddling that propaganda so he can fill this place full of foreigners.... In revenge of the white Irish male who called him a dirty Paki Queer years ago in class and turned Leo into a fuming, angry monotone cultural terminator bent on the destruction of the celtic race and 10,000 years of culture overnight......
Come the revolution

Islam is nothing to do with religion,
It's a political ideology is for world domination enforce Sharia law and to destroy Western civilization from within,
Muzzies are plague against humanity
No place in Ireland for their shit .

There is also irrefutable evidence that the Hallawa family is strongly connected with the muslim brotherhood.read the detailed account of professor Mark Humpheries of DUU who provides photographic evidence of their involvement.inspite of this,the actions of our poliricans Eamon Ryan,Lynn Boylan,etc etc is to robustly defend this family.the mousk in clonskea,is constantly under servallience with good reason I would suggest

I haven’t made any reference to pensions at all, Octy. It’d take a far sillier man than you or I (or even the erm) to rely on the State being in a position to fund our pension requirements. Similarly, while high property prices and rents clearly appeal to those who hold significant property portfolios, perhaps with pension provision in mind, prices do tend to collapse to varying degrees as the economy moves to recession so cashing in such investments depends on timing and, to some extent, luck i.e. it’s not foolproof. I was merely pointing out the appeal or perception in the current economic climate.
We do, however, need immigrants to carry on menial jobs. We need a taxi service, we need our bins collected, we need our roads swept, we need cleaners, we need labourers to help us expand our property portfolios, etc, etc… Our own youngsters are generally far too well educated and/or ambitious to be interested in doing these jobs whereas immigrants with no (recognised) qualifications or skills can readily fill such vacancies.
I don’t believe it’s fair to blame An Taoiseach for the watering down of the Celtic race in Ireland. To be fair, Irish Celts are at the root of our “Céad Míle Fáilte” culture as is evident in the assimilation of Vikings and the development of Hiberno-Norse cities as centres of trade, technology and political rule.
We’ve experienced emigration since the Famine. Obviously, it’s a lot easier for youngsters to travel these days and while some emigrate in search of greener fields many do so just to experience other cultures/climates. I guess the spread of Irish (including Celtic, Hiberno-Norse, etc) culture around the world is a central element of that very culture or amalgamation of cultures and/or cultural influences.
Most religions are peaceful. Fundamentalism, often fuelled by (perceived) marginalisation, is what fuels hatred, terrorism and indeed crusades. With reference to the latter I’m not going to walk into the trap of suggesting that Catholicism and/or other forms of Christianity are without sin. However, like those who follow Islam the vast majority of those who practice Christian religions in this day and age do not subscribe to fundamentalist views, practices or objectives. Our constitution allows folk follow whatever religion they choose and there have been Mosques up above in Dublin for many years, Muslims have been an integral part of our society throughout that time not just since Mr. Varadkar was elected to the office of Taoiseach.

The reason Irish people wont do these menial jobs as you put it is,because they are not being paid the minimum rate to which they are entitled.your friends the migrants,are coming here are working for well below the minimum rate,and that is why the business community are so welcoming of them.theey want to avail of the cheap imported labour.
-
Employers shouldn't be allowed exploit immigrants. We have minimum wage legislation that ought to be enforced. However, I'm not convinced that our own youngsters would be happy to work in minimum wage jobs for the rest of their lives. They generally want careers not the sort of jobs I'm talking about with no prospect of advancement.
As far as our own trade is concerned the immigrants get the same rates as we do. In our Members Area there is a thread entitled “Céad Míle Fáilte” that lists new drivers as discovered by our robots - the vast majority are immigrants.

Ye....I'm just a simple bloke ratti... An not as politically tuned in like yourself an jm an Lip an a few others..... But there is agreeing anger in Europe and it's quite likely that Europe will collapse because of it.....
I don't understand that we bailed out the banks with 10s billions an then told the people we don't have money for your pension anymore and increased the retirement age.... An then we took a load of property into nama an sold it to vultures funds( who pay less tax than me) for peanuts and they now starting to evict families an puttin the rents up tru the roof... I don't understand verooka and his officers telling us we need immigrant to pay for our pension an then they let 10s thousands of Romania gypsies beggin on the street and not contributin to my pension but I'm contributin to theirs....
An they takin up accommodation....
I don't understand why all the government buildings civil servants jobs, luas, tax office, hospitals etc. Jobs are finally of foreigners yet we still have our own kids fukin off to England or Watever.... I don't believe they tourist...
I don't understand that your man Hallawa was on the news every week for years.... One bloke... Wen there is so much injustice in the world not mentioned....
Why are all our doctor an nurses fukin off out of it.?
None of it makes sense to me....
-
Ocky this is true.on one occasion no less 10 TDS made the trip to Egypt to try to secure the release of Hallawa.Lynn Boylan of the shinners was particularly vocal in her support for this f amily of Egyptian blow ins.this w a s in line with shinn fein policy of Brits out,everyone else in
-
I understand your confusion, Octy. There's a lot that doesn't make sense. Bailing out the banks with our pension money was clearly necessary to maintain bankers and developers in the style to which they became accustomed, I guess that's never going to make sense to those of us who aren't members of that social elite. Similarly, allowing Eastern Europeans claim child benefit for Children that don't live in the State is something that makes no sense to me. I fully support immigrants having the same rights to work/welfare/health care/etc as those of us who are Irish by accident of birth but, to me, that should not extend to welfare/benefits being paid in respect of non-residents. As DM notes, the practice of immigrants being exploited in being paid less than the statutory minimum wage is another problem. I'm not suggesting we live in a perfect little corner of the world, we do have issues that need to be addressed, there's no doubt about that.

Not to mention their taxi policy... they want men sacked from their jobs on foot of convictions handed down by the British Judiciary, the same Judiciary that convicted the Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four. At the same time they want vetting for immigrants to mirror that applicable to the security trade, the only trade that can boast more immigrant licensees than the taxi trade.

Surprised at you Rodent missing an opportunity .I actually looked into adopting 53 kids from a Hungarian orphanage on the agreement that I would share the childrens allowance with them as long as they kept the kids .

I doubt you're the first to think of that. Culturally, we're much better suited to strokes and circumventing/exploiting regulation than devising/enforcing the same. How did it work out?
