    I kind of agree

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Well, that's that cleared up so - we're all in agreement that Ireland is in the grips of a lawless apocalypse. :(

    Yes we have become lawless, and it is courtesy of the sly gardai. Everyone knows that if you touch a civil servant's pay or conditions, they have a way of getting back at you. Look at the A&E departments with the staff on a passive aggressive go-slow. They want things to come to a head so that Minister Reilly will give in. It's the same with the gardai. They know that there will become a tipping point where Shatter will crack (pardon the pun) and will give them more money, and even more recruits. Until then, they're hiding in the police stations, letting everything go to sh!t

    pure speculation...medical staff are professionally trained and they dont let people suffer to suit the agenda you accuse them of having...

    This thread makes me want to give up reading boards.ie

    I can almost hear my grey matter decay with each post I read in this thread (bar one).

    This isn't a serious problem. It's one that's been exaggerated by media reports which focus on violent and sensational crimes.

    Saying this country is "lawless" is an absurdity. This is an incredibly safe first-world country.

    Go tell a Somalian this is a lawless country with a straight face.

    Have you ever spoken to any Somalians ?

    There is a lot of them living next to me here (Very decent people too).

    They find it shocking how some people here shoplift, steal and ask for things because these same people always have money when it comes to buying Alcohol and Drugs. They think it boils down to greed and I agree.

    You can find that happening in any country in the world. Nowhere's crime-free. It doesn't make Ireland lawless.
    Do you know if these Somalian people near you think Ireland is a worse place to live than Somalia? Do you think they'd describe Ireland as "lawless?"

    Obviously yea the sort of crime they would witness here would be quiet different to what they experienced back home, They wouldn't be here if it was worse than Somalia..
    You and I and all the posters here know the type of people who cause so much trouble here and at the end of the day its all pointless trouble, Vandalism, Fighting, Car theft, Burglaries, Heroin use etc. The Somalians here can't understand why these idiots act like that when this country provides food and a roof over their heads, That's the only point I'm trying to make.

    I'd say although most people don't experience violence here that's not to say crime isn't a problem here, It is. There seems to be a constant flow of small low key crimes happening such as burglaries and theft.

    While I wouldn't say Ireland is lawless - that's a tabloid description. I do think there is more and more crime surfacing, certainly around areas where it was never prevalent, rural areas in particular. Less employment equals more crime.

    I just think we're a shower of bastards sometimes. For every good thing about Ireland, I feel that there is something that gets swept under the carpet. The nightlife can be quite dangerous.

    Recent CSO figures show that cannibalism and human sacrifice are down year-on year in 2012 by 24% and 16% respectively, there was a small resurgence of mohawk-wearing renegadism in the midlands in the second quarter but this seems to have been purely seasonal and is now at negligible levels, so, in short, no.

    Certain sections of Irish society have no regard for the law of the country.

    You are right, we should all disobey the law equally, don't pay park parking fines, court fines, TV licences, car tax, insurance and throw the penalty points back at the judge.

    One is ruled by fear, lose that fear an one cannya be ruled.
