Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m in the process of writing a story set in Ireland.
I was wondering on certain details that I hope local irish folks may be able to help me out with.
1) Right now, in 2011 do you think there are still kids who are brought up solely in small irish villages with old values and traditions? You know, they wake up, go to the national school and when they come home they help their parents out in the farm or something…
2) Do you think there are kids who, being brought up in the countryside/villages from family who dont have a lot of money, have never been to the city?
3) Are there still families who hold on to Irish tradition as it is, speaking Gaelic and all? I know the language is mostly affiliated with culture and tradition but it is still the official language is it right? So are there families who still speak Gaelic on a daily basis?
4) What county will you say have the most villages and countryside and still practise old Irish traditions? I heard it is Co. Galway but I may be wrong..
I’m not asking these questions to sort of undermine the Irish but I am really curious. I am very impressed that the Irish have mostly been able to stay true to their roots while at the same time keep up with the urbanisation.
So I was just wondering if there are still parts of Ireland that are the same as they was or at least haven’t changed much in terms of tradition and culture..

I need advice on how to ask my best friend why she lost her virginity. Shes 17 and shes dating the most annoying, effin douche bag on the planet. All of her friends know this. Her parents HATE him. I mean doesnt that tell her something?? Anyway she got caught having sex she was keeping it a secret from everyone and became this 2 face lying ***** i must say. So she finally told everyone when she got caught and couldnt keep it a secret anymore. I honestly dont care that she did it I just wana know why she did it with him. Ugh i HATE him. He lies sooooo much hes the biggest liar in the world. He changed her as you can see. So anyway why do you think she did it?? Hes not romantic he tries to be but its all a lie. One time he bought her a necklace and said he went to Mexico and got it for her. Hes so stupid she went with him to the flea market when he got it and waited like 2 months to give it to her. So another thing im worried about is that she said she doesnt remember their “first time”. She blacks out but only when shes drunk so I dont understand why she would black out. I remember when she told me she said that he forced her now she denies it of course. After their first time he always snuck in just to have sex with her. Not to be romantic no just to screw her. He never brought protection and shes so stupid she agreed to still have sex. Shes not pregnant she took test and went to the doctor thank god. Last weekend she said they snuck to his house and they had sex. After being sooo lucky she did it. Like really! I would wait for months before doing it. It just pisses me off. Oh and to top it off the started doing it after 2WEEKS of dating. Ugh so i guess im asking what should i do?? Am i just angry?? Like i said i dont care that she did it. I’ve done it. Just why with him?? Or why is she still with him when she knows all of this stuff she admitted it to me. Is there something im missing?? I’ve seen him hit on other girls too! And he got kicked out of his church because there was a rumor about him saying that he was sleeping around with a girl. Now i wouldnt doubt it. He told her no and me no but honestly everything he says is a lie. So you dont know what to believe. Please help me. And sorry for it being so long.

The daycare says they’re not religiouslt affiliated. My son came home one day and said that they were taught that baby Jesus was born on Christmas. I don’t want my son growing up with religious bullsh*t. I don’t think it’s right that they teach them about Jesus in a daycare. If someone talked about Zeus or Muhammad, everyone’s parents would flip sh*t. What would you do in my situation?
He’s 4 years old by the way. How is it right for a daycare who says they’re nonreligious to tell them about Jesus?
What would you do?

I’m 17 and I have a website which generates a good income from affiliate marketing. I’ve closely read ToS of the programs I am using and they do not specify that I need to be 18. I’ve also contacted my bank and they told me that my bank account is under my name only and my parents do not have access to it. I use prepaid visa gift cards to pay for the website hosting.
Should I tell my parents about this income? Do I even have to tell them?

Hey. I compete in jumpers and am trying not to loose my amateur status. I’ve never taught for money (often volunteer my time teaching for free or coaching at shows though – always unpaid) but am getting ready to undertake in something that I’m not sure would cause me to loose my amateur status.
My parents own a small property (10 acres) that we have slowly built into a small equestrian center. It was just me riding at the barn then my brother but now we’ve started into sales. With the bad market we’ve found a little niche taking in unbroke fuglies off craigslist, breaking them, putting 3 months on them and selling. Sometimes we make money off them but more often that not the ones in poor condition cost us far more than we sell them for but we enjoy it.
I manage the horses on a daily basis, train them, market them and show them to potential buyers. Does this cause me to loose my amateur status? Since I have done fairly well at selling these horses, a few people have asked me to ride, market and show their horses to buyers. I don’t get paid for this but if/when I can get the horse to sell, I get 10% of the sale price for my efforts. (Usually about $100-$200 for 4+ months of work).
So basically, can I be a barn manager and sales agent without loosing my amateur status?
Thanks

Why are you affiliated with this group? Are (were) your parents the same?
