In 2005, the average GDP of the Republic (per person) was €35,725 in the South and East, and €23,637 in the North, Midlands, and West. The corresponding GDP of Northern Ireland was €19,603 per person - the third lowest in the UK.

    Oakman wrote: So when I said, "The revisions mean that any priest found with child pornography or who abuses retardates will also be turned over." which part of it confused you? I do not find that statement confusing. I didn't even quote that. So no idea what you are focusing on that. Was that statement the only relevant one when you said "Am I missing something?" Was that statement relevant to your paraphrasing of the critic in the article and as such also relevant to when you said "Am I missing something?"

    wolfbinary wrote: If I have to explain "no harm" than I might as well try and explain "is" which I'm not going to do. But that is in fact significant to determine is someone has failed at it. For example if doctor cuts off a professional baseballs player's arm because there is an 65% chance (medical chance) that the player will die if they don't do it did the doctor cause "harm" or not? And is the player the only one that gets to decide if "harm" was done or not? wolfbinary wrote: If your idea of true or false is finding an exception in every circumstance than you can't have a generic true or false. Errr...welcome to the real world? wolfbinary wrote: I'm talking generalities here, not to the hair on a gnat's butt. Simple then....yes they follow the oath. There should be no doubt in your mind on the subject now.
