    These goys were basically doing 'Rock chants pool side in Thailand and were bleeding blue and white all over the place. It was, as said in the title and in the end of the video, some of the greatest horseplay of all time.

    How does crap like this go viral?

    This is mundane levels of crap, if somebody was bored and said what’s going on and we both went to that college I wouldn’t even tell them about this.

    Saw this doing the rounds on social media yesterday and feared the worst. Private school boys in Thailand with a video that's going viral?

    But actually it's harmless fun and they're hurting no-one. Leave them at it.

    Don’t see anything wrong with it, myself. Just a few lads blowing off a bit of “steam” while on holidays.

    There’s a lot worse they could be getting up to.

    Indeed. They are Irelands elite. Leaders of tomorow in business, politics, law, finance,etc, and so by definition, are not the same as the average Paddy. Which makes it easy to laugh at any characteristic that highlights their difference from the rest of society, and rather unfairly too. Yes they live a charmed and privileged life, but give so much back to society as well, yet dont really tend to get their due credit for that.

    Oh god no, I mean they’re young males, from an affluent background at that- they’re the last group were allowed to publically shame. if they were a minority or young women acting the tit someone would be telling us about our privilege level and how we were shaming them. These however are fair game, so play on

    You went to Rock, didn't you?
    Sounds the Rock heads who threatened me outside Leopardstown.

    How'd you know they were Rock heads? Were they bleeding white and blue?

    This is one big non-story.

    Group of 18 year old guys play a drinking game while on holiday.

    People with massive chip on their shoulder try to make the story go viral because it is somehow controversial??? wtf???

    I massively don't get it.

    Yes, middle class Dubs are actually allowed go on a holiday.

    Yes they do sound like that, what is there to see here?

    I would love to be jumping in the pool drinking bottles of Sang Tip and hitting the strip with my school friends etc. This is their time, they are entitled to enjoy it.

    This "fee-charging schools are elite" nonsense is overbearing, propagated by the adjective-restricted vocabulary of the average journalist, and encouraged by the schools themselves and the Hyacinth Bucket types who send their children to them.

    To put it another way, the fees for Blackrock/Gonzaga/Michaels/Belvedere etc are about €6.5k per annum. In contrast, huge numbers of Irish parents are paying €1000, or more, per child per month for childcare. To only have to pay €6.5k per year for school fees would be a huge financial relief to all those very ordinary parents.

    To all the people who have a chip on their shoulder, on either side of the debate, about "private schools", it may interest you to know that about 85% of all Irish students attend private schools. Did you really think the Roman Catholic or Protestant school that the vast majority of us attended was/is owned by the Irish state? It wasn't, and it isn't. Community Colleges and maybe one or two other types of schools are still the only state-owned schools in Ireland, unfortunately.

    The distinguishing words you're looking for are not "private schools" but "fee-charging schools" or "fee-charging private schools". And the vast majority of the funding for these private, fee-charging schools is from the Irish state. Without that funding, their fees would be about €30,000 per student per annum. That might qualify them as some sort of very narrowly defined "elite".
