“A man is one whose body has been trained to be the ready servant of his mind; whose passions are trained to be the servants of his will; who enjoys the beautiful, loves truth, hates wrong, loves to do good, and respects others as himself.” –John Ruskin

Are you Roc?

I asked Bard ( googles LLM ~ Large Language Model )

Bard's answer is below ~ This is how the Irish Elite Control Ireland.

How many Quangos and NGOs in the Republic of Ireland ?​

As of 2022, there are an estimated 832 Quangos and 2,607 NGOs in the Republic of Ireland.


A Quango is a quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization (Quango) is a body that is not a government department, but is funded by the government and performs some functions that would normally be carried out by a government department. Quangos are often created to provide specialized expertise or to deliver services more efficiently than the government could.


An NGO is a non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit, voluntary citizens' group that is independent from government control. NGOs are formed to address social, economic, or environmental issues. They can be local, national, or international.


Here is a table that shows the estimated number of Quangos and NGOs in the Republic of Ireland by year:

Year	Quangos	NGOs
2003	400	2,300
2005	482	2,400
2007	510	2,500
2009	530	2,600
2011	550	2,700
2013	570	2,800
2015	590	2,900
2017	610	3,000
2019	630	3,100
2022	832	2,607

Please note that these are just estimates, and the actual number of Quangos and NGOs in the Republic of Ireland may vary.

Their budget is about 9 billion euros I read recently. The Defense Department is just 1 billion.

There maggots are worried about losing their free meal ticket.

That is why you see the extreme hate.

Excellent Thinking On Your Part.

Again from Bard

The Irish government provides significant funding to Quangos and NGOs in the Republic of Ireland. In 2022, the total expenditure on Quangos was €11.7 billion, while the total expenditure on NGOs was €2.2 billion.

 

[Declan]

Holy fuck. 14 billion euros.

They will react negatively to reality.

This is how the Irish Elite Control Ireland

That works out at 21 quangos/NGOs per TD. You're dead right!

It's Incredible = = And it explains how the Irish Political Parties ( Establishment Parties ) and Politicians ( Establishment Politicians ) Subvert / Buy Democracy.

Are you Roc?

I have no idea what he's talking about. I may have seen roc's posts but they never registered with me and I probably skipped over them as uninteresting. I would imagine that my posting style must differ from his in significant ways so I don't know how this is persisting.

From what I can tell, if Jimbo thinks someone invalidates his narrative or he feels that they exceed him then he uses the allegation that "they're roc!".

So this roc moniker is a general charge rather than a genuine association with a real person. It's not just tiresome, it's characteristic of a sub-adult and/or manipulative personality.

I've invited him to outline why he maintains this assertion but he refuses to. There is no attempt to support his claim. That suggests duplicity. Argument should be judged on its merits. If anything I post is objectionable then argue it out. That's normal.

Jimbo is an energy sink.

And by the way you will probably have to watch it 2 or 3 times to have much chance of taking in, everything / much, of what this Genius is telling you.

It is certainly worth, listening / watching, Twice at least.

 

[tldr]

JimJamboMowl but.. you've no idea who roc is.. none whatsoever

Well, Fishalt nicknamed you Jimbo, so that's where that came from. I think it's appropriate.

Remember the non-interference agreement? I'm perfectly willing to avoid you if you can reciprocate.

I've only put one person on ignore with the button in my total time on the internet - and I lifted that after a few years - so I'm open to everyone being right on something every now and again and I'd rather not deprive myself of that. This "everything is the fault of the tribe of David" thing you've got going on is a lot of effort and not useful.

There are pathological elements in every group - I'm sure there are a few guys in Andorra with ulterior motives - but to homogenize every person of a group (defined by intrinsic physical characteristics) into that category is stupid, it is an insult to the pursuit of the Good. Culture is the thing that primarily differentiates us - it is this that determines the moral content of conduct.

We should be principally concerned with the interests of our own nation. The greatest "present danger" is the pathologization of the civic space in order to prop up institutionalised negative selection, not the waning Thucydides Trap guys in the Middle East.

You've been picking a fight for a reason inexplicable to a healthy adult psychology. Don't whine if you get beaten up. Be a man.

 

[Declan]

I probably skipped over them as uninteresting.

That does not make you in any way unusual.

 

[tldr]

I don't have any agreement with you, you mental case

So, you're asserting a right to interfere with my freedom of speech with puerile harassment. Go back on your meds.

Are you talking to yourself?

Don't think this is bollox!
