What is your idea of a real low life or a scumbag?

    Every day we read and hear of low lives and scumbags doing thing to
    other people and getting away with it.
    I try to keep on the good side of life, but these people really get to me.
    house break in's, muggings, beating up helpless people for what? sometimes for a €10 or a mobile phone.
    What do you think should be done to these people when the law catches up with them. Do you believe in "if you do the crime you should do the time".
    I'd like to hear your views, thanks.....

    The victims should be able to determine the punishment.

    Thats simply it, do the crime do the time

    However, assumptions on who are scumbags by appearance really are off I've learned in the last few years, not that you were saying that

    Biggest problem, and perhaps why they are getting to you, is a huge lack of police presence because they are underresoureced and have to do all of their own administration

    The real lowlifes and scumbags mostly wear shirt and tie and hold high powered positions.

    I think that they often they don't realise that the CCTV protects them and not us!Many times on Dublin Bus I've witnessed rascist and sexual harrasment and intimidation carried out by useless wannabe gangster junkies. The Mayo man in me would like to snap them like the 10 stone twigs they are but I've more to lose than them, and yes I have reported incidents to get the response that db is pursuing campaigns on various other routes but doesn't have the resourses to police all routes. What can you do? Maybe they should bring back the real concept of an outlaw ie outside the protection of the law? What if by commiting certain crimes you lost protection for a certain period anyone could legally assault you or rob your house maybe this could teach the benifit of our social contracts?

    People who steal when they don't need to, flush politicians for example.

    People who enjoy other people's misery, get off on making people feel small so they can feel bigger.

    My idea of scumbags.

    If you've ever considered earning a living as a bouncer, you are a de facto scumbag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,976 ✭✭✭profitius


    Theres some types of people I avoid. I do however don't like to label people with those sort of titles.

    People act the way they're programmed to. They copy people are them and their beliefs are generally like those people they spend their time with. So people who grow up with mentally unhealthy parents will also be mentally unhealthy in most cases.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭cafecolour


    People who don't recycle.

    In connolly station the other day, 2 seperate groups drinking waiting for the dart. one of the group was sniffing drugs off a key in front of everyone, years i would of said coke but probably some headshop plant food!

    legal or not its not that hard to be discreet when sniffing stuff. these just wanted the attention. plenty of tourist families around for patricks day events watching all this.

    And there's your problem.
    If I wanted to adopt a child I'd have to go through YEARS of being interrogated.
    The kind of standard you'd have to live up to is nothing short of being a saint.
    It's nearly impossible to satisfy the criteria and most people give up about 3-5 years into the process.
    But any moron, idiot, misfit, knacker, criminal, rapist, halfwit, scumbag, politician or banker can make a baby in 10 minutes of drunken fumbling.
    There should be some kind of vetting process, e.g. "I'm sorry, but with an IQ of 65 we can't possibly let you raise a child" or something along those lines.
    If I want to drive a car I have to prove that I'm fit to do so, but if I wanted to raise a child I can do so without any questions asked whatsoever.
    The gene pool needs a life guard.

    Johnny Ronan. He personifies the term 'low life scumbag' for me.

    The real low-lifes are those with pretensions otherwise, politicians and Johnny Ronan have already been mentioned, not bad but they are pretty blatantly out for themselves.

    Instead I would suggest those who claim to have a direct line to 'god', those who claim to represent the ultimate standards of morals and ethics, I am of course talking about the Ratzinger brothers, Sean O'Brady, and all the other Catholic Church hierarchy.

    I was going to mention Jim Jones, the leaders of the Order of the Solar Temple, Osama Bin Laden, but they are too obvious targets and don't hide behind veils of hypocrisy and double-speak.

    well my dad was coming out of coppers right with his mates from work and some scumbag asked him for a fag, when my father replied that he did not have one the scumbag said he would break his face then my father proceeded to push the scumbag to the ground and his mate got a sly kick in just in case he got up and attacked them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭nachoman


    I think any scum who's arrested for 3 offences of any kind against society by the time they are 14 years old should be forced to undergoe sterlisation, it's the only way to end the cycle of misery they inflict on society, and then through their kids who will ultimately emulate them. It's the only way. Also people on council estates should be sterilised. And before anyone says anything, I live on a council estate, so I would be the first one to sterilise myself, I wouldn't want to inflict the same misrable existence on my future offspring that I have to endure everyday in this mindnumbing hellhole surrounded by animalistic Scum!!!

    So when your Da was mildly threatened while with one of his buddys and could have easily walked away your da pushed him to the ground and his brave buddy kicked him while he was on the ground. I'm no apologist for scumbags (hate them) but in this case it sounds like twas your da possibly and his cowardly mate defo that were a bit scumbaggy. A sly kick is something scumbags do.
