Why is there so many lowlifes in Dublin

RainbowRose81

My friend got spat on while cycling by summerhill a few days ago by a guy in his late teens, What is wrong with people here. It was a completely unprovoked attack, even animals wouldn't do that! It makes me ashamed to be Irish at times, My friend is indian and he sometimes does get racism here directly and indirectly. There is many lowlifes in this small space, this small city with a population of over a million. I think they should be sent to poor countries like africa and india and south america for a few months to let them see what life is, to let them see who they are because throwing them in jail isn't the solution or they should have have to go to army camp because they don't know the basics to treat others how you want to be treated.

That has nothing to do with Dublin, it happens down the country too. I put it down to lack of education but thats just a guess.

No, nothing bad could happen in Johannesburg or downtown Bogota...

That's a question that is really hard to answer.

Probably because they are just d1ckheads, following the crowd. It's not just in Dublin though, you will pretty much find that in every capital city in the world, you find your clique and you stick with it, even if that means being a spanner.

It's the pack animal thing. As we get older we go to specific pubs and clubs and mix with like minded people, as teenagers we hang around looking to get ourselves into trouble. Doesn't stop them from being douchebags, but unfortunately there is probably no definitive answer.

I'm sorry your friend was attacked. Is he ok?

Because in Dublin they're called lowlifes and in the rest of the country they're called "characters".

Ireland in general is choc full of worthless scum like that, I'd sooner shed a tear over the death of a disease-ridden rodent than any of these oxygen thieves.

Absolutely nothing you can do except try to ignore it as best you can.

Or just leave.

Well i know but those places like that would mostly have incidents of theft or gangland things. i would rather get my money stolen than get spat at. That is the lowest of the low to spit at someone. It wouldn't be as bad as if they had asked you for money. Those city's population are 6 or 7 times that of Dublin's population, its weird for such a small city to have this much nastiness

Because we're bleedin' rapi and deadly like! We don give a bleedin' fook what youse tink abou' us, we'll battar anywun who even luks at me funi, alri'?!

Or, to put it lightly, you've got scum everywhere, just a lot more in certain poor areas, get over it and avoid said areas.

Bigger population I'd say so more lowlifes than other places in the country.

Big city and easy dole ?

Spitting at someone is the lowest of the low?

Remind me to go back to Hitler and thank him and his Nazi supporters since they don't seem so bad compared to the scum low-life that spat at your friend. :rolleyes:

'Gangland things' like mass gang shootings, tying bombs around peoples necks and setting them off.....

They party even harder in Mexico...

And then theres what happens when a lower caste group gets 'above themselves' in parts of rural india....

People generally don't leave the poorer areas of dublin, theres little upward mobility, chances that hottie in the next road is in your family tree, IQ has fallen due to inbreeding.

Is it a social norm to get spat on anywhere in the world. Well what difference does nationality make? it just makes me sick to hear another person doing that to someone else. Get a punch or your money stolen would be more decent

Oh please, I've been spat on for not giving junkies 50c, and I'm a 5 foot nothing Irish girl. Scumbags are everywhere, they're not just a Dublin exclusive.

You've clearly never been punched and had your money stolen.

Obviously she hasn't! She doesn't live a decent area! I mean just the other day walking through the poshest area of all, I had my face punched 5 times and my money stolen, I was very happy to thank the fellow that did it because he didn't spit in my face!

Ok. There are scumbags, but there are scumbags in most places. I don't think there are more here than a lot than a lot of places.

You obviously don't travel much.

Their are worse things you can do to someone and they happen all over the world. Trust me on this. Big cities, little cities, villages. Remember Hungerford? Dunblayne? Columbine?
