    Last time I checked we had free speech in this country. Whether we disagree with someone or not, there're entitled to their own opinion without being ridiculed surely? Otherwise we might as well buy "Jackboots" for Xmas and start marching in step.

    You won't get many results.

    Try Googling "Reincarnation of Jesus Christ" and you'll be more successful!

    Yeah, because instead of it being a simple spelling mistake, i was refering to ANOTHER similarly named band that Jim Corr was in :rolleyes:

    Would this Free speech stuff, should it exist, not also include people ridiculing the crazy public ranting of a crazy man?

    Did he pay back his massive loans he owes that the banks are chasing him for yet?

    Being surrounded by all that Tottie all the time and not being able to do anything about it has turned him insane.

    Incorrect on a number of counts, in particular the idea that mockery harms free speech.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    The whole point about free speech is that one can say nonsense and be mocked for it.

    Incorrect? I am expressing my opinion, so is my opinion wrong? How can my opinion be wrong? When it's mine? This of course is your opinion which you’re entitled to express. Do you see the point I’m making here? Or perhaps you already bought the “Jackboots”?

    Where did this came from? Phew! Jaysus, people’s interpretation or lack of interpretation never fails to amaze me. I’ll sum up the meaning of my original post for you.

    Jim Corr express’s an opinion, he gets mocked and ridiculed – I said that he’s surely entitled to express an opinion. You’re perfectly entitled to mock him, it’s just that I don’t follow the ‘sheep’ and conform to populist trends.


    Anyway, fcuk this sh1te, I have a class reunion to get to.

    I think you're confusing free speech with forcing people to listen and take seriously. Mocking a speaker is also free speech.

    Yeah man. Fight the power by taking talking bollocks seriously. Not like those sheeple out there.

    It's like sheep and people together.

    Theres no unilateral guarantee of free speech in the Irish constitution.

    Like when Jim Corr gives his opinion that 9/11 was an "inside job" wrong, wrong.

    You missed the big David Icke thread from a couple of years back.

    The AH mods decided (in private) to take a week off and only act on really bad stuff.
    The following thread was a result of the holiday: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055144674

    The two Icke supporters were traced back to David Icke's own forum. They have a thing about spreading the word of Icke.

    It also created Lizardfudge.

    15 posts in and the thread is Godwinned.
    Well done.

    That David Icke thread is bloody hilarious.

    <Off Topic> On another note I see Jizzlord threw in a comment or two there. I never knew the lad but it's mad to think he passed away a few months back. The idea of that happening to a boardsie.. it's scary. I have it in our head that we're all immortal!</Off Topic>

    But seriously that thread is funny as hell. Made more so by the fact that most of the replies initially come from mods!

    TodayFM had his latest message on air this morning

    "This morning on the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show Jim Corr has been vindicated yet again when his latest video explaining the deliberate take down of Irelands and the world’s economy by international bankers and there corrupt government cronies was played on air and posted on Today FM’s website."

    it's freedom of speech not exemption from criticism and you are interfering with others freedom of speech.

    When its not an 'opinion'. You were stating a fact which was not in fact, a fact.

    Where did this came from? Phew! Jaysus, people’s interpretation or lack of interpretation never fails to amaze me. I’ll sum up the meaning of my original post for you.
    Next time you want to fight the power and rail against the injustice of people ridiculing your posts, you might want to actually read what you actually said. Sum up all you want, but its not what you said.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,533 ✭✭✭the keen edge


    So should I be listening to Jim Corr's take on the economic situation or not?

    I am basically willing to riot/protest, that is what he's suggesting, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,358 ✭✭✭nozzferrahhtoo


    I read his website recently and the kind of thing he puts forward as "evidence" is that if you doubt him then this shows that they really are brain washing you because they want you to doubt.

    In other words if you agree with him despite having no evidence then he is right, but if you doubt him then this in itself evidence that he is right.

    Really, if he wants that the doubts of experts can be used as evidence that something is true then what he wants is to live in a world where anything can be evidence for anything simply by saying it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Everything Jim has said has been proven right.

    In Jim's mind at least.

    I find this theory of yours doubtful, at best.

    I shall order my Lizard army to destroy Jim forthwith. He is getting too much attention and threatening to blow my/our cover.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,358 ✭✭✭nozzferrahhtoo


    Ah I knew I could find the quote if I waded back into his "website".
    Most people react with disbelief and skepticism towards the topic, unaware that they have been conditioned (brainwashed) to react with skepticism by institutional and media influences that were created by the Mother of All mind control organizations: The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London.

    So really... if you doubt there is a conspiracy that means there is!!! Convincing stuff huh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,103 ✭✭✭North_West_Art


    I have listened to everyone discredit him in the past, but he is making alot of sense here... at least take the 10 minutes to watch this, and make your own mind up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,358 ✭✭✭nozzferrahhtoo


    The issue with conspiracy theorists like Corr is that they will make a lot of sense. Their conspiracies are nearly always built on quite a lot of facts. Much of their evidence really does exist. It is just the conclusions drawn from said evidence that is insane.

    Take for example Corr’s theory that there is a New World Order in the making. If you read his essays on this he claims there that they want to reduce the population of the planet by many millions.

    As evidence for this he would cite people who have indeed suggested a reduction in the population, or at least the current population growth, of the world would be a good idea due to strains large populations put on our resources.

    He would then shout QED.

    Essentially what he has done here is:

    1) X is defined as having characteristic Y
    2) Characteristic Y really does exist.
    3) Therefore X must exist.

    Right up until step 3 he is making perfect sense. It is suddenly at the end that everything breaks down in an insane non-sequitar. This is why you can listen to a video like that above and think “This guy makes a lot of sense”. Most of what he says will.

    Why do you need Jim Corrs go-ahead to protest? And are you willing to riot or protest? Because they are two very different things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 gaelic_fella


    Hes not suggesting rioting at all. What are you playing at? Peaceful protest by the people is what he is talking about.

    he right about a few things esp the Corrib field if we held onto that we would have huge revenue but we gave it away :rolleyes:, hope they don't do the same if the new find off Galway proves as big , but the poxy imf probably own that now aswell.cnuts
