    Everyone is discriminated against because of their age at some point. Not everyone is discriminated against based on their sexual orientation. You need to release some of that anger in more productive ways.

    Anybody who goes to a festival wearing "festival attire". The gypsy witch, bohemian look thingy attire for women and the headbands accompanied with that dotted face paint. Way to take something that started off as an unpretentious thing where after 3 days half your clothes you're wearing were covered in muck and no one said a thing into a pretentious cat walk. Anyone who does this is full of s**t and is most definitely a tosser.

    Anyone who also puts up those pics on social media of "travelling is the only medicine to a closed mind" you know the kind. Yeah. Go to hell you try hard.

    And then gaze at you dumbfounded when you beep the horn and/or nearly get run off the road.

    I'm not saying I'm angry with those involved in 'social justice', I simply find them to be quite hypocritical, as well as their present mode of egalitarianism to be rather broken.

    A few months ago they were manically celebrating the result of the SSM ref, yet fast forward to now where they are quick to dish out collective shame about how we should accept an unquantified number of 'refugees'. It's bipolar politics at its finest.

    These people are easily baited by the media and are used by the establishment for their political expediency. They tend to fight everyone's battle except for their own. If they were able to concentrate for 5 minutes and look around them they'd see that excluding the youth from the political arena is an 'inequality'.

    I think the presidential age thing was just used as an easy scapegoat by those who disagree with same-sex marriage (an opinion they're entitled to btw) because it coincided timing-wise.

    Age limits are nothing new, and a 21-year-old running for one of the most senior public servant roles is a laughable notion. It's not exclusion of the youth from the political arena :confused: The youth are still welcome into the political arena - look at YFG etc. It's exclusion of the youth from one aspect of the political arena, but not the political arena as a whole.
    A 21-year-old with a degree wouldn't even be taken seriously a lot of the time as a candidate for particular jobs - due to the need for more work/life experience. Why not lamenting about the "discrimination" towards them?

    I think it's dishonest of people to claim it's such an unjust discrimination for people to vote against 21-year-olds running for the office of president of Ireland.

    I don't agree with unlimited access for refugees, as we cannot accommodate such a thing. But I have no problem with us providing asylum for a small number that we can realistically assist.

    I would say it is pretty much the definition of unjust discrimination to deny an adult the right to run for a public office based solely on their age - including the rights of 21-year olds to run for president.

    In that picture Yellow guy's in-front of green guy. So if green guy was really angry he would keep up the pace, look left and eyeball yellow guy alll the way through the roundabout.

    Keep the **** up green guy.

    It isn't based solely on their age though - what about the necessary work experience and life experience? And people were given a chance to vote.

    Why such a need for it anyway? It's not like they're going to be elected president ultimately anyway.

    The referendum was only about age. Nothing else.

    "work experience and life experience?" What about it? Who says it is necessary, or that a person aged under 35 cannot possibly have already attained enough to be considered a viable candidate?

    If candidates over 35 get the chance to have voters evaluate their work experience and life experience and vote accordingly, why not give that chance to people under 35?

    Agreed. The fact that the liklihood of something becoming a reality is absolutely tiny is a different question to whether it is discriminatory or not to make it impossible to become a reality though.

    Still though, the other aspects I mentioned would have been taken into consideration by those who voted no.

    It was specifically 21 or over, not merely under 35 - there's a 14-year window. And of course the necessary work experience and life experience would be required for the role, same as with any job.

    I'd have my doubts anyone who's 35 or even over would have all the necessary experience either.

    At the same time, someone who is e.g. 30 might have the sufficient experience, but hardly someone who's 21, or even a good few years older.

    - To add to my above list - queue jumpers, who feel they are too important to queue in a line of traffic and have to cut in further up, or block another lane in order to squeeze in. It's everywhere, I know, but I encounter the same tossers doing this most mornings around the same spot on my way to work.

    People who wait on the bus for 10-15 mins,get on when it arrives and only then start searching around for the fare. Have it ready before hand ****.

    We're going off topic and boring people I'm sure, so I'll leave it here: all the reasons you gave for not wanting to vote for a young candidate - you could have not voted for them based on those reasons in an actual presidential election, should the opportunity ever have arisen (unlikely), just as you can now in a general election.

    I've never understood the argument for voting No - it achieved nothing that couldn't have been achieved in the voting booth anyway, had the age been lowered.

    The only meaningful thing the No result achieved (or perpetuated), in my opinion, was the possibility of a scenario whereby a candidate who would possibly make a good president, who has the kind of personal/professional profile that people would vote for, who would get the backing needed of either the councils or Oireachtas members, is excluded from even running based on their age.

    People who don't use a leap card, said to a workmate last week why he still uses change his response was that it was cheaper, mind boggles.

    In the petrol station this evening. I was putting my bits and pieces on the counter. I looked behind me and there were three more people and I noticed a cop at the drink fridge. Just as my second item was being scanned the cop arrives up with two bottles of soft drink. He left one of them on the counter with e1.65 told the owner to scan that one and walked off.

    Low testosterone males who bitch and whine about toxic masculinity -- and try to weasel their slimy way into women's goodbooks with ass kissing and automatic deference


    People who latch onto any excuse to be a bully or a ****head while feeling justified about it. A glance at a SJW's twitter page will suffice as an example

    People who 'work' in community development,yet do jack **** for anyone but themselves and blame every ill on the travellers/single parents/unemployed and treat everyone that earns less than average wage like scum.

    Carers that look after extremely vunerable clients...and go around telling everyone their clients personal business. Seriously tempted to report that loud mouth bitch, but doubt the HSE will do a thing about it.

    Edited to add. Someone might misread that last sentence and think i meant all carers, I don't, I am only referring to one in particular.

    When you stop the car to let people pull out onto the road and they don't acknowledge you. Young women are the worst offenders.

    Use of phrases like "I have a window next tuesday"....makes me want to shove his ass out the window, actually I'd rather shove the window up his ass. It's a suitable time for a meeting/appointment I want, not a f*cking window. Wanker!!

    Short arses walking around in over sized suits talking loud enough, in fake posh accents, so that everyone knows they work at xxxxxxx (fill in the blank with job of choice). They reek of Eau de Wanker

    I was being quite seriously assaulted one evening, just near the petrol station in my neighbourhood, luckily I broke free for a moment from my assailants, just enough time to ring my local Garda station and ask for help;they replied that unfortunately their only patrol car would be delayed as the driver was caught up in a long queue at the petrol station, I ended up being murdered.

    You know those people at work who walk around with serious purpose, always in a rush. They speak very loudly about their work in the open plan office.
    You ask them how are things going and their response is usually along the lines of....

    "Busy, very busy these day currently trying to submit XX to <insert important director name>, everything has to be perfect"

    Then you stroll past their desk and they are flat out on Fantasy Football or the daily mail website.

    Them = ****!

    One of them sits behind me. I've seriously come close to telling her to STFU many times.

    -Middle class parents with a newborn baby who think they've suddenly become the most important people on the planet.

    -People who talk or text in cinemas.

    -People who pretend that Islam is a race to shut down debates.
