Whatever about the argument over who should pay Purple, that's one hell of a mean spirited statement right there. Are you really saying that those people whose homes have been flooded deserve it because the majority in the Shannon area appear to be against the scheme to supply the Dublin are from the Shannon?if there was a big pipe from the Shannon to Dublin we could use it to relieve the flooding. Karma's a bitch!
I'm not saying that they deserve it, of course not. I'm saying that their parochial and mean spirited objection to supplying water to the Dublin region, where their sisters and brothers live, is now biting them.Whatever about the argument over who should pay Purple, that's one hell of a mean spirited statement right there.

You do realise that this is a huge generalisation Purple, labelling all those affected by the current flooding as being mean spirited objectors to the Shannon pipeline. I'm surprised at you.I'm not saying that they deserve it, of course not.

I didn't generalise. You are attributing that to me now.You do realise that this is a huge generalisation Purple, labelling all those affected by the current flooding as being mean spirited objectors to the Shannon pipeline. I'm surprised at you.
I don't see where I did Purple? I don't see anything in your posts narrowing the audience you are targetting here? I asked if you were saying that those people whose homes have been flooded deserve it. Your reply wasI didn't generalise. You are attributing that to me now.
Where in that reply did you narrow the audience you were referring to? How could that be interpreted as anything other than a referral to "those people whose homes have been flooded"?I'm not saying that they deserve it, of course not.

Since my comment was about the people who objected to the pipeline I am referring to the people who objected to the pipeline.I don't see where I did Purple?

By all means if you want to clarify that you are referring to specifically those who object to the pipeline only and not those whose home has been flooded then I will stand corrected but it's quite possible that these are two distinctly different groups of people.
It's not just the Shannon that flooded. Don't be so parochial.Purple is at it again. He never stops. If it happened outside the Pale it doesn't matter. Remember people in flooded plains pay taxes too. They are not screaming for the government to provide six lane motorways around their hamlets. They pay for such motorways, tunnels, etc around Dublin eventhough they might never use them.
It is not only the inhabitants of Dublin who pay taxes, you know! Whatever way you look on this disaster, just think of the strong possibility while you're enjoying your dinner, the local river flows in through your front door and windows. A little concerning thought for those in such conditions would not go astray.
