Who would you Ostracise?

wendell borton

Another thread on a certain individual got me thinking, dangerous I know :rolleyes:, we should look at the original democracy for some legislative inspiration on how to deal with threats against it.

"Ostracism (Greek: ὀστρακισμός, ostrakismos) was a procedure under the Athenian democracy in which any citizen could be expelled from the city-state of Athens for ten years. While some instances clearly expressed popular anger at the citizen, ostracism was often used preemptively. It was used as a way of neutralizing someone thought to be a threat to the state or potential tyrant."

Gay Byrne. Just because he's about 126 years old and I get tired of his voice every time he decides to pop up with something to say on a matter.

The only way we could truly ostracise her is to send her into space but if we do that and Aliens find her they'll come to Earth and destroy us in the hope there won't be more like her.

My family as they did it to me two years ago, I'd leave the ****er penniless and homeless.

All of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil too, right down to the clueless student followers and grass roots morons.

Ostracism? Why can't we just send them to Coventry?

Any member of the Healy-Rae family.

Had the intense displeasure of listening to junior on the radio this morning.

What an imbecile.

Everybody, without a single exception, who writes for Independent Newspapers. And add in Eamon Dunphy who in the late 80s/early 90s while writing for the Sunday Independent partook in that rag's weekly extraordinary attacks on the integrity of John Hume for the "sin" of talking to Gerry Adams and beginning the Peace Process.

Another thug. I'll never forget his treatment of Annie Murphy, nor of Gerry Adams. While Adams floored him, Michael McDowell, Austin Currie and the nutcase Hugh Leonard and firmly won the audience's sympathy, poor Annie was treated with derision and disbelief by everybody. Her last words were "His mother's not so bad either" in response to Byrne's "If he's half as good a man as his father he'll be a great man". (Annie was American who had a son with Éamon Casey, Bishop of Galway). What an ugly, heartless society we showed ourselves to be that night.

Ostracised him.

People who incorrectly use 'who' instead of 'whom' and vice-versa. That is whom I would ostracise.
