Would you vandalise a car with a Union Jack on it ?

    A mate of mine was telling me that when he was on his way to the pub last night he came across a car with a Union Jack on the back window so he kicked the wing mirror off the car :eek:. Now I told him that although I obviously don't like the sight of the Union Jack but it was taking it too far altogether to kick the wing mirror off. He of course disagreed and my other mate agreed with him that to have the Butcher's Apron displayed in Ireland is asking for trouble.

    So what's your opinion folks ?

    No.

    Now if it was a FF car with Cowen and co on it, I might be tempted!

    What do you have against Ford Focus's?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    Union Flag not Union Jack.

    And your mate is a cock who has no respect for other peoples belongings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 431 ✭✭punkindrublic


    It's 2010, people need to move on. No I would not, to answer the title question. Also imo your friend is a gob****e, how old is he?

    No, I'm not a twat

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    You have a point there - and maybe give Cowen a good kicking along with it.

    If you hadn't included this bit I'd assume your mate was around 13.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,276 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Nope, stupid vandals.

    That's aside from the fact that all politics aside, if you drive a car round the republic with a union jack on it you're a ****ing idiot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Your mate's a dick for doing that, what age is he, 12?

    If he's gonna be doing shìt like that around this country tell him to go home and destroy his Sky TV box, burn everything related to Premiership football, buy only Irish products and start speaking in only Irish....

    Big hard man that he is....

    Definitely!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I'd have probably smashed the window with a rock and then ripped up the flag leaving the shreds on the carseat.

    As it stands the car-owner is going to return to their car and not know why/how the mirror came to be in that state, so what was the point? However under my method the message would be loud and clear.

    Schoolboy error.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,898 ✭✭✭✭seanybiker


    Your mate is a muppet. Im sure if there was someone in the car your mate would have done nothing because he is probably a little bitch. An extremely late term abortion for him would be great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    Your mate is a sad sad individual. Unless he is under the age of 8 , then I could make allowances for him and blame the parents.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,145 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Bullshit.. don't believe a word of it tbh. It's just a typical flame-baiting post from you


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 462 ✭✭SlabMurphy


    Union Flag not Union Jack.
    You mean the Butcher's Apron.

    Forgot to add , your other mate that agreed with him is also a sad individual , I am seeing a pattern developing here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭cloneslad


    nope why would someone do that? If it's cos we were invaded by them, does he boycott ikea and kick any cars with scandinavian flags on them??

    I know it's a long time since the vikings invaded Ireland but I doubt your mte was around when the before the brits exited in the twenties.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,445 ✭✭✭Absurdum


    I wouldn't vandalise anybody's car, your buddy is a dip****.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 485 ✭✭Elenxor


    Does your mate kick his Ma for shopping at Tesco, Marks & Spenser and..................

    Little Durtbag!!!!!!

    Well I'd agree that his actions were stupid. As for someone been in the car - well he box's for the Irish Ropes Boxing Club at middle weight and has won 3 Leinster titles, been beaten once in the All Ireland final. So let's say he can look after himself.

    As I've said I didn't agree with his actions but as for the Scandiavians - well they don't occupy any part of Ireland nowadays do they although if thousands of lovely hotties from Sweden want to ' invade ' their more than welcome :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    So if this were in England, what would your mate say if his car, proudly displaying an Irish tricolour in the rear windscreen, had its windows smashed in and its mirrors kicked off because someone didn't like its displaying of the symbol they associate with pub bombings?

    In case you've any questions about my own feelings, your mate's a dirtbag.

    nom nom nom that would be great. Flat pack women.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Your mate is a scumbag. Would he break the foot of someone wearing reebok runners?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Back in the 80's when Runner Boots were all the rage.

    I used to love the white Reebok ones which had a tiny Union Jack.

    Mates used to stamp on them when I showed up to Bruxelles.

    Bastards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    Would he kick my mother cos she loves Corrie.


    This could go on for days

    I didn't know your mate was in northern Ireland at the time, I figured cos he was from leinster it would have happened there.
    How many times has your mate been to Northern Ireland with the exception of heading to Newry for cheap drink? or does he not want to give any of his money to the queen?

    When I am home and I go for a run I go into the North whenever I go anywhere and it's nice there, he should visit it.

    It could, but it won't!! There will be a bit more flame baiting and someone will get angry and then it will be locked.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian

    No last time I looked it was just an anchor


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    This is a thread that belongs in a Scobie Forum.

    Of course I wouldn't kick a car that had a union jack on it.

    I just noticed this.....so did it happen in New York? or do you mean he used to box for them, unless there is some irish ropes boxing club tucked away somewhere in Ireland that I don't know of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Cerlan


    Your mate is a hero. Another great blow struck for Irish freedom. Men like him are an inspiration to us all. Keep fighting the good fight.

    If someone kicked the wing mirror off my car, for any reason, I would slice their foot off. If you want to behave like pondscum you'll just have to suffer the consequences.

    is mike1972 trying to break a record for thanking the most posts in a thread?


    would your mate have kicked it if it was an australian flag??

    Childish in the extreme, hopefully there was some CCTV about and he'll get done for his childish actions. :D

    Play this to your mate when you see him next. I think he'll enjoy it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    He might kick the laptop, just to be consistant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭tim_holsters


    To answer the OP of course your mates behaviour is acceptable, the same way that a British person on seeing a car with a tricolour on it in the uk would be perfectly within his rights to give it a good kicking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 462 ✭✭SlabMurphy


    OP

    You need new mates.
    Maybe your right :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    No I'm not a ****ing gimp. Butchers apron :rolleyes:

    You'd swear anyone in Britain had anything to do with ancient shi1t that as not affected us personally. Maybe the person driving the car was of West Indian, South African or Indian heritage? Who knows?

    Not like Oliver Cromwell himself got a ****ing time machine and brought himself to to the 21st century, bought a Union Flag to put in a ****ty little car with an easily broken wing mirror just to piss off some sad individuals that can't get over the huge chip on their shoulders.

    Well ( and I'm not making an excuse for my friend ) there are many in Britain who indeed had something to do with Ireland and has affected many Irish families personally such as the ' heros ' who murdered 13 people in Derry, shot people and children dead with live and rubber bullets, tortured nationalists in barracks, assaulted more at checkpoints etc
