Was any part of the above comment offensive? I'm a little perplexed as to why I've been (I assume) banned... I personally don't find my observation about Ireland's large population of pale children particularly offensive. I happen to be pale and half-Irish myself (mom from Cork), as well as married to a pale Irish girl. As for statistics to back up my claim that Ireland is a good bet relative to the remaining PIIGS, here is the % of population under 18 (from 2007, http://childrensdatabase.ie/sonc2008/part1/):
Ireland: 24.4
Italy: 17.1
Spain: 17.5
Greece: 17.4
Portugal: 18.7 Regardless, if I offended anyone, I apologize. I still think youth is a strong sign of a resilient economy. True, Germany doesn't seem to be effected...I'd argue there are other issues there (a phenomenal capital market, for a start). |

Yes, in the sense that no matter what you post, if there's any substance to your point at all, someone will be offended by it. Don't sweat it.
(You're not hellbanned as of this post, if that's what you're wondering.)
