Kevin’s conversion - why has Kevin Myers done a flip-flop on George Bush?

He has turned on his intellectual mentor and now thinks him a political madman (on the basis that it takes one to know one?).

Why has this happened? What is the source of this conversion of Uncle Sam’s best friend into his foe? read full story / add a comment

As a freelance journalist with an interest in anti-globalisation issues, I wrote an article about the tabloid coverage and hype in the run-up to Mayday. Two of the Sunday broadsheets initially showed interest in it, but then rejected it upon reading it.

I don't subscribe to the idea that all journalists are spineless etc. etc. etc.......... However, I do feel that it was a balanced article. Yet the media still wouldn't touch it.

As a part of the media, I feel that there is the need for reasonable, sensible debate on the role the mainstream media plays, how it can be improved, and comments from other sections of the media would be a good start. read full story / add a comment

Many Irish people who wave Palestinian flags and march against Israeli brutality in the West Bank and Gaza believe quite rightly in my opinion that israel should withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza anbd Golan and remove Jewish settlements.
It will solve many problems will not be satisfactory to Palestinians and the greater Arab world. read full story / add a comment

The government continues to spread insane scare stories about the Mayday protests and Gardai harassment of people publicising the events has stepped up. They want to scare you into staying at home. You can accept this or you can fight back by not only turning up at the protests over the weekend but by also helping to publicise them. read full story / add a comment

The cultured rich/middle classes irrespective of their religous/national identity are deservedly called the 'FILTHY RICH', because despite their outward veneer of pillar of society respectability and their smug professonal social statuses, they are at heart the amoral lowest of the low dog eat dog capitalist monsters. read full story / add a comment

Basically this is just some economic research I was working on. Quite simply, it investigates the relationship between individual and national wealth, various economic circumstances and peoples own characteristecs with personal subjective well-being. Criticise, analyse, disagree or expand on. I never quite finished it so I believe there is much work to be done in the the area on cultural differences and the notion of individual sovereignty. You all probably already know all this stuff but a mate told me it was good so thats why I'm posting it up. And I'm bored. Sorry if its a bit long read full story / add a comment
