have all these self righteous people not realised that it may be best to judge each one of the 20,000+ people on their own merits?

Just imagine the grief I would get if I went on these boards and started saying shit like : goth's are satan's minions , or be a good little goth and go top yourself.

I think I said some where that the D4 accent is also known as the west brit accent.

Superman - "Why is it that alot of people on boards hate UCD, I can't seem to find a common train of thought any where"

...is that not a common enuff train of thought then?

I don't like UCD because its campus reminds me of a bad airport. Too much concrete and boring open spaces.

In terms of the people, its the same as anywhere else:

Some of them are lovely some are not.

And I too thought Trinity students were more hated?? No?

I don't see the point in hating groups of people I don't even know...I can't even tell the difference between DCU and UCD half the time...

People from Ucd go online and go by names like Superman because they say "That's Super" all day long.

Emmm...... we don't care? Whoever here admits to hating UCD is only slightly more crazy than someone who thinks that everyone hates UCD. It's a university. It's not like it could have killed your mother or stolen your girlfriend or anything.

It's not because of West Brits that's for sure. West Brits go to Trinity or they go abroad. They certainly wouldn't go to, as was pointed out, a regional airport full of culchies out in the middle of nowhere where you can't even go shopping between lectures.

Its not that people hate UCD/TCD etc, its there is little love for the people in the ARTS/Commerce/Students Union sections irregardless of the university. They talk such w*nk, but the totty is of a high standard.
