Scumbags, yay or nay?

Peared

They seem to multiply at an alarming rate. I remember back in the old days (maybe 10 years ago) there were a few n'er do wells in every town but now you have to wade through millions of them every time you go outside the door.
Anyway, I called a bunch of drug users/street drinkers (the type you always see hanging around, not occasional users) scumbags the other day and got the head torn off me by a member of the PC brigade who said they should be helped and homed and gosh darn it just loved back into the world. As far as I am concerned these (particular) people

put themselves there

keep themselves there

steal

intimidate people

fight, amongst each other or with unfortunates who get in their way

do not work

do not try to work

scare children

p*ss anywhere

turn areas into no go areas

and I find it really really hard to have sympathy. Yes so circumstances can make life hard for people but lots of people have difficult lives and just get on with it and make a frickin effort. Tbh I have more sympathy for the couple trying to make ends meet with two jobs and a coupe of kids.

So should we have sympathy and be understanding to all these people?

Or are they scumbags who don't deserve it?

KingLoser

How much sympathy and understanding do they have for everyone else?

Reap what they sow.

I think you're confusing your scumbags with your brass monkeys. And yorema.

reggiethefirst

Scumbags, pure and simple, and if I get my way there will be a selective cull of the population. Scumbags will be first against the wall.

OoSKYLINEoO

**** em i say,anyones capable of sorting themselves out

**** up with the yore ma jokes, they're not ****ing funny.


and why would anyone feel sorry for scumbags? seriously..there's absolutely nothing to feel sorry for them for..

Pride Fighter

That member of the PC brigade is a scumbag.

The wannabe scums aren't that bad, because they're just wannabe's who are chicken shíts.

On the other hand, the hardcore few - well - I think - we should just shoot them fúckers.

A democratic society does not permit the indiscriminate execution of scumbags. I lament that fact.

Break his fingers if he tries robbing a car again. Simple answers are the best sometimes.

scumbags should be treated as scum,as long as theyre getting away with whatever it is they do,they will be there to annoy everyone,society is too soft on these ba****ds.

BraziliaNZ

it's an impossible situation. Unless a war or something comes along and shakes up society a bit and makes people respect society and people again this will continue to be an issue in Ireland and the UK. It can only get worse too because they tend to have more kids than the decent people of the world, because they're far less responsible. And we have to take care of the bills for them too. People should really need licences to have kids in this day and age, the world is far too overpopulated anyway. Hug-a-hoody? Castrate the b*stard or shoot him in the face.

There's a kid from around where I live and everytime I see him, I just marvel at his complete lack of humanity. He's never been in prison and still gets away with stuff like knocking out people's teeth indiscriminatly.
In fact, he's just like lil Ze in City of God except he hasn't yet gotten as far as killing anyone.
He doesn't even seem to be interested in women, he's just centred on being a filthy vandal and a thug and will continue being a scumbag for the rest of his life.
People like THAT should be culled.

Actually the issue here is THEIR Auld one, and oulfella too.

I have kids, 4 boys to be exact, all come from a 'broken home'. They live with their mother, from whom I am divorced. None of them are scumbags because they have been brought up properly, and I stayed involved in their upbringing.

This isn't about money, status, class etc. The tired old cliche about 'blaming the parents' is actually true - that's why it's a cliche. I've been variously branded 'strict' and (admittedly funny) as 'victorian dad'. Ironically, the friends that made those comments have had to bail their sons out of jail...

There is only one way to deal with scumbags - start with the parents and penalise them if they don't fulfill their obligations. Of course some kids are uncontrollable, and each case should be dealt with accordingly. We especially need to deal with absentee fathers, who dump their DNA and expect the state to pay for their childcare.

All we need is a government with balls to actually legislate for it. Make it harder to for parents to abandon responsibility, especially financial responsibility. They might think twice about that condom etc...

Peared

The one time I do start to feel sympathy is when I see parents with kids - like the other day I saw a mother calling her 4 year old a little pr1ck - and I think well there's a scumbag in the making.

But at a certain age you gotta take responsibility for your own actions I suppose.

Two do-gooders come across a man laying on the footpath battered senseless and covered in blood. One says to the other, "we have to find the man who did this". I know says the other, "he needs help badly"

I feel sorry for the kids they push in the prams and drag everywhere
The parents should be neutered

+1 start with the parents. But todays scumbags will be tommorows parents and will no doubt have a fleet of little scumbags roaming the streets in a few years.

Well, they weren't born scumbags!!!!

Of course their homelife has a huge part to play in it.

Mahatma coat

Jigsaw s wrong, tis Because we're a democratic society we can decide enmasse to have them lined up against a the wall and shot while the numbers are still relativley low, remember they breed like rabbits

Varkov

Doctors should be able to secretly take scumbag babies away from their mothers at birth, and drown them in a bucket of water. If the mother finds out, drown her in a bucket of water.

Bring back the stocks I say!! there would be nothing better than plastering some little knacker in rancid fruit on your way to work in the morning.

Cookie_Monster

Scumbag tax anyone?
Cure the economic woes and force them to better themselves so they won't have to pay the tax anymore. Brilliant


Wait, wait, sure they won't even pay it in the first place cos they're scumbags.

/Nevermind:(

Who are these infallible authorities that get the right to decide who is a scumbag and who isn't? Do you really want a fascistic government with the power to make these arbitrary decisions? Be carefull what you wish for, you might just get it.

the removal of corporal punishment replacing it with nothing was the start of all the scumbagery they have no fear of anyone they have no structure in their pathetic lives,this underclass looks up to dirt who behave like animals,the worse they behave the more the underclass looks up to them

We should make Soylent Green from them and feed it to those left.

So this country had no scumbags prior to 1982? Rose tinted glasses?

Maybe if the scumbags at the top had done their duty the proliferation of underclass scumbagedness wouldn't be so damn rampant.

ScumLord

Yay for scumbags.


All snobs should be thrown into hard labour and publicly trashed every Tuesday. There high horse's replaced with some ones mother or ma as ye like to say and they should only be allowed to watch fair city on the tele.

Dragan

Being a scumbag is purely a state of mind. I know plenty of people from **** area's who dress like locals and are the soundest folk going.

I know plenty of private school cnuts that i wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.

I do hate scumbags, i just don't feel the need to lie to myself about who is and isnt one.

Honey-ec

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are some very convincing arguments for eugenics. Most of them can be found around the Custom House/Milennium Boardwalk...

If someone ever told me that we should "love" these people back into the world, I'd kick them. hard. repeatadly. We've tried "loving" them back into the world and look at where it's gotten us!? Anyone eho feels sorry for them deserves to get thrown under a bus by a gang of them one day.

Spot on!

People should only be judged by their behavior. If you act like a scumbag you are a scumbag.

Why would you Yay scumbags? Unless you are one.

In the SuperValue parking lot in Tramore I have heard mothers and fathers say some of the most horrendous things to their kids.

"Get in there you stupid little F$$K"

"Shut the F$$K up you"

"Do as you are told you little bitch"

It is unbelievable and quite scary. I am always thinking like, wow you guys have some ISSUES. And so will your kids obviously. Good job people

Dudess

Yeah that sh1t's horrendous. I doubt it's always the parents though - environment and peers can cancel out any attempts at a decent job by parents.
