Ben Dunne on 4fm

DarkJager

Anyone else hear this ****ing imbecile on David Harvey a while ago? Ranting about giving 2 fingers to Europe because "they're trying to take our Christianity" and "only the Lord can save us".

He managed to make himself sound like a religious fascist with the talk out of him. I despair for this country with indoctrinated assholes like this spouting this bull**** rhetoric.

Never heard of him. Who does he play for?

The prostitute-riding, cocaine-snorting, politician-bribing arsehole?

A man of high-class for sure, definitely someone worth listening to.

There's a 4fm? :eek:

SEPT 23 1989

Was he talking really fast and sniffing a lot?

Don't care who he is, some guy that owns a few gyms apparently. Originally came on to explain why he took some hairdryers out because guys were drying their balls with them, then launched in to a 6 or 7 minute rant about "the lord" and the EU.

Literally embarrassed to think any foreign person might have been listening to this.

Ben Dunne should answer why he gave Haughy over 1million pounds and what he got in return for it?

Especially regarding the fact that his Westpoint Gym is full of those EU foreigners.

Pity the IRA didn't make him disappear.

Always heard him referred to as the chap who owned Dunnes Stores, never investigated any further (although I do recall being corrected on that before).

Ah well, still a knob (him, not me...).

He's also famed for having Micheal Lowry suck his cóck while Charlie Haughey tickled his balls. He's as corrupt a cúnt as they come. The cúnt.

His adverts for the gyms are annoying.

That is all.

Ben Dunne is just another asshole richboy who inherited a business from a hard working parent so that he could **** around with the cash he was born with until he became a success so he could claim to be an "entrepreneur"

He came across as a total nut job, but just as disturbing were the amount of people ringing/texting in support of him.

Hair dryers. Not hand dryers. They were on a cord so a leprechaun could dry it's balls with them if it pleased.

What is Christian about Ben Dunne?
He's hardly covered himself in glory in the past. Having been judged to be corrupt in two tribunals, it could probably be said that he played a part in bringing this country to where it is today.

Give me Humanism any day!

The thought of blokes standing drying their balls on the handdryers is hilarious.

Yep, the support he got just shows the level intelligence in a section of this country. He came across as an utterly deluded twat. I think he also said something about holding his vote on lisbon to ransom to save the angelus? Spectacular way to make a complete ****ing fool out of yourself on national radio, though I can't help but have that attitude to anyone who wants to lecture on imaginary friends in the sky.

Apparently women dry their fanny with them as well.. not hot women though. Aul saggy fat arse bints who walk on a treadmill for 30 mins to try cancel out the bags of malteasers they ate.

I agree that Ben Dunne is a complete twat but you have no right to criticize his religious beliefs. He may have been spouting them out on the radio, if you dont like it, turn to a different channel. You cant prove there is no god any more than he can prove there is one...

Yes I do, particularly when he sees fit to shove them down everybodies throats for 6 minutes without even an acknowledgement that Christians/Catholics aren't the only ****ing people living in this country. And on top of that it was an aggressive stance, I dont think he actually said a word without shouting it. So yeah, **** Ben Dunne and his views. We can do without imbeciles like that trying to drag our country back to 1950.

P.S: I'm not starting this religion debate with you but the onus is on the believer to prove something exists, not the skeptic.

Actually, that's not quite true, as proof would deny their faith, and their entire system is based on that faith. Ergo, they have no need to prove the existence of any deity they choose to believe in. Although even then God doesn't actually exist seeing as he's(?) a man-made entity in his(?) entirety. Back to the topic of choice... Ben Dunne is corrupt yada yada yada...

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I had originally read "Hair Dryers" as "Hand Dryers".

Sounds to me like Ben is doing a bit of bargaining with God in the Autumn of his life;)

No hoor, like a reformed hoor!

I'd be interested to know what logical reason you could have for agreeing with such an overblown load of bollix. People like him and the ones who supported him are very clearly clutching at whatever straws of catholicism/Christianity are left in this country. Would you rather the good old days of the parish priest walking around like a celebrity and touching up little boys?

dr.bollocko

I listen to that Harvey show the odd time. It gives a voice to complete retards who don't deserve to be listened to day after day. It is genuinely enjoyable listening to these morons. Maybe you have to be a non idiot AH regular to appreciate it on the level I do.

I haven't listened to what he said, but what about expressing a faith in Jesus has to do with dragging Ireland back to 1950's?

Whether people like it or not, Christianity is growing globally even if it is receding in the Western world and it will be with us for a very long time. It is as much if not more a feature of the 21st century as it was in the 20th.

I'm more than happy to listen to why people disagreed with the substance of what he said, but that is what the focus should be on rather than a subtle attempt to tar all Christians as being regressive.

Not at all, I would rather the idea of people accepting Jesus Christ and living and speaking for Him in daily life though, if I'm being brutally honest with you.

This was real old school christian arrogance, practically saying Christianity owns Ireland and nobody else matters. He even described Labour as a "bunch of atheists" with a real venom to his words. I've never actually shouted "shut the **** up you ridiculous imbecile" at a radio, but it happened today.

Whether people like it or not, Christianity is growing globally even if it is receding in the Western world and it will be with us for a very long time. It is as much if not more a feature of the 21st century as it was in the 20th.

I'm not tarring all Christians at all, but this asshole made me rage. Pure militant stance to multiculturalism because his precious christianity is becoming a personal experience rather than a state funded one.

I'd really urge you to listen to it and make up your own mind.

EGAR

I heard it and I was doing the wee dance it was so funny. And the people who texted and rang in in support of this BS really made me cringe and laugh at the same time.

He's rather more of the "this is the Word and even if you don't bekeive, you should have to live by it anyway" style of christianuty though.

Well, simply put. People can choose to live as they want.

It is fair enough IMO, to say that people should follow Jesus and be saved from their sins by putting faith in Him. That's Christianity 101, and that's the way it has been from the beginning. Christianity does teach that the only way mankind can be forgiven from sin is through Jesus (John 14:6 for example), and that those who reject Him will be condemned (John 3:16-18).

Others have the liberty to disagree, sure. Ultimately something is true though and ultimately that has consequences. I don't think that is unreasonable.

I don't know how he put it across, but the idea that it is unreasonable for Christians to say that even though people don't believe, that Christianity is still what is best isn't common Christian belief.

May I ask why you think that is the case? From my perspective, I imagine the change has come about because people in the Western world have the capacity to and do question things that they would in the past have taken as gospel (pardon pun).

The fact that Christianity is on the increase throughout Africa is very telling in that those people don't have the same freedom of expression as we do in the West, nor access to media and research to the extent that we do. Add into the mix a heavy presence of Missionaries. These people can hardly be called enlightened no matter which side of the fence you sit on.

I have no doubt that Christianity will be thriving well into the 21st century and probably beyond. The reasons for that though are often questionable.

Religion is the last vice when you've snorted all the coke, shagged all the whores, smoked all the fags and drank the place dry. I wonder would God have saved Ben if he jumped in Florida?

ThinkingTom

Maybe Ben Dune came across as a emotional rant, but there is a clear anti-Christian agenda in a minority circle, (look at the latests statistics that came out to see where people are at - and whose the minority, I was very surprised to say the least) that seems to think they can shove their belief down peoples throats also. Their religion of false tolerance to anything as long as it isn't some faith - especially Christian faith is just a disguise and very well disguise at that, to their desire to also control. Don't be so easily fooled, even if it does play to your own personal desires.
I didn't hear Ben today but did hear some of the comments after on 4FM. To say that he was ranting maybe true and even aggressive. But I can see here some posts that are just as aggressive, usual rants and disrespectful personal tactics against a Christian faith here.
I am glad, even if poorly done :-) , someone said what is not considered PC or welcomed in the liberal controlled media what many are thinking. But wonder can people actual think and talk about it - with some sense of 'what's best for society, rather than clichéd and weak demonising arguments.
