CK, not sure where you've been doing your googling, but "ireland ~ pilots ~ strike" turns up 1,400,000 results, while "ireland ~ journalists ~ strike" turns up 1,150,000. The sheer numbers weren't the point though, the point was that the numbers are completely irrelevant because of the random amount of duplication out there.
I also don't recall "hopping" on anyone for anything, and I try not to resort to hectoring and bullying in my posts. The idea of a forum is that different people can express different opinions. When someone bullies, insults and shouts down any one who's opinion digresses from their own, that pretty much defeats the point.
Funny how you're so into pilots freedom of expression on striking etc, but so unconcerned by the whole freedom of speech thing - ie the freedom of people to express opinions which are not shared by your good self.
My post was not just about journalists v pilots and who strike more, it was about the overall tone you adopt on this forum. It's not condusive to debate, unless that debate involves us all telling you how right and wonderful you are.
