With the highest road density?

What about kids? Should we let the parent decide or,.if it’s a blatantly obvious way to protect them, should we prosecute parent that don’t suitably dress their kids for the risk? Or require it. Personally, o don’t have a problem with making it a requirement. Knowing the Irish gardaî, of expect light enforcement.

Those roads already have a lower speed limit. I think the geography of the landscape and the neighbouring properties does not allow them to be more visible without loss of scenery.

Roads are designed for transport. Cars can be fatal. It’s all well and good to say we should be safer but is wearing appropriate clothing when walking in a shared car pedestrian zone really be that onerous?

We already require the cars to have multiple safety standards to aid pedestrians and visibility. Cyclists are required to wear helmets in many places etc.

I am finding it odd that many comments talk about pedestrian freedom, yet jaywalking is illegal in many places but not in Ireland, where people can use their personal judgement and the cars are held responsible.

Like seatbelts, of it saves lives and is harmless, then why not. If no lives are saved, nobody is worse off. If one life is saved, it’s worth it. Like seatbelts laws, the idea is a change in thinking not to fine people for non compliance.

I doubt it will become mandatory. It seems more like a thought bubble. Ireland used to have very high road death figures but has worked hard to change that.

It should be noted that in rural areas, many roads are unlit and quite winding. Ireland has very high road density with lots of minor roads. Many people walk on these roads which have no path. Use of lights and reflective or hi vis clothing is sensible and already common.

A burrito is a little donkey. You’ve been identified as a mule, helping illegal crossings. You will now be transferred to a facility to hold foreigners before deportation.

So, white?

It also might be because he’s afraid of her, more than the others. They have huge followings too, but Taylor Swift has been able to call her followers into action.

Ok, but just so you know, your taco is economic downturn with added uncertainty, and erosion of civil liberties instead.

Would you like a side of fascism or civil war?

There is still disputed land: Northern Ireland.

Ireland has seen where this goes and it is likely why they are one of the European countries most critical of Israel. Ireland recognizes genocide and colonialism and lies at the state level.

The Republic of Ireland have up all claims to northern Ireland as part of the peace process. All terrorists were given amnesty on both sides. If it’s in their interest to keep fighting to stay out of jailz they will.

It is a fine line between punishing war crimes and crimes against humanity, and allowing everyone to move forwards. Israe and paesinel are far from there.

Perhaps you’d enjoy the tv show Six Fewt Under. It’s a family drama set in a family that happen to own a funeral home. It deals with death and loss and trauma and personal growth and happiness.

Adaptation

It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He’s a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That’s probably why it’s so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.

It’s a deserved reputation as it’s great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it’s also not deserved as it’s so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn’t normally have a coherent plot and levels.

His upside down bible and bigotry.

Well, here’s the biggest fines. Mainly from Ireland. https://dataprivacymanager.net/5-biggest-gdpr-fines-so-far-2020/

It’s not whataboutism when it’s not a deflection. I’m pointing out that all countries in the eu have differing laws and values. Boycotting one goes against the purpose of this community as well as the purpose of the eu as a whole.

I agree. It’s not, but if I was choosing which country to boycott, it wouldn’t be the one that regulates technology, it would be the ones enabling genocide.

I think calling for compete boycotts of countries that work with non European companies is the complete opposite of the purpose of this community. It’s meant to be supporting Europeans, lifting each other up, not trying to be divisive.

Ireland is risking their economic benefits on their ideological stance, with no benefit to them personally, yet you think their economic decisions to support their economy on other ways is offensive? How about Germany not wanting to tariff the USA as they are scared of recession. I don’t think we should be boycotting Germany.

The point is that in a union, each member follows the rules to benefit themselves which on the whole is mutually beneficial. If you think data laws should be strnegthened, Europe wide, campaign for that, not seek to undermine an EU member in a buy European community.

Hmm, odd that Ireland recognizes Palestine and puts pressure without being pushy on other states to end a literal genocide, but following their laws on privacy correctly is a problem? Not the support for genocide from Germany? Or Hungary protecting Russia. Or Poland persecuting LGBTQ+I people. Or France interrupting international travel? Or Austrian banks operating in sanctioned Russia?

I do think having an EU data commission that is the governing body for all EU countries would be a good thing. Most data we need to worry about these days is trans national. Ireland has fined the likes of Facebook etc. Howeverz the best legislation to protect data, the gdpr is available for all countries. So if you think it’s been breached, make a complaint.

Misguided comments to put countries against each other will always find some countries on either side and is divisive rather than constructive.

Realities nonetheless.

Laws exist because we say they do. Society and people follow patterns because of these laws. Abolishing these laws and borders would lead to societal breakdown without an alternative system to replace them.

Families are also constructs, borne of genetic reproduction. however we now understand them to include marriage and adoption and blended families. All constructs. All legalized also.

Yes, of course. However, look at even ancient Greece, and legends of war for troy about love. The concept is older than the concept of countries. War is always about resource allocation, of you include people as a resource, which they are on a societal level. The designation of borders and countries is also partly about resource allocation.

Non tangible things are still real. Families are real.

The creation of complex systems is uniquely human and is what allows development and progress.

Without these systems, laws and things including incorporatng non human entities has pros and cons. Development of healthcare and increasing longevity and increased food production, sanitation and reduction in hunger are a benefit. War and genocide are a problem. However, wars still happened before the introduction of borders. See Norse vikings, Roman empire creation etc.
