    I went into college today. The science block was full of blond, pink wearing girls and rugby boys. It was just weird. Either they were non-science students or their spirits would be crushed quickly. :)

    When I was leaving the building a guy approached me to remind me of the UCD computer services introductary course. I'm a guy with long hair and wearing a "if my eyes are bleeding I'm not ready to stop playing video games" tshirt. I was suprised he thought I was in first year. :)

    The science class is comprised of many different types of people, including girls that wear pink and rugby boys. That's what I like about science, such a diverse group of people!

    I just hope theyre goodlooking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭HappyCrackHead


    yeah see... the points for science have dropped... so the blondes and ruggers boys can get in... not just for the elite...

    i digress... im an arts student so im used to the blinding colours human being ordain themselves with...

    I was in UCD yesterday and no one asked me if i was a firsty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    Really? That's staggering. Maybe they're afraid to approach you, HCH. :p

    The points for everythin have dropped haven't they?
    Just on the off chance you thought there wasn't enough Oompa-Loompa-Rugger-Bugger-Pink-Wearing-Birds on campus, there's gonna be a heck of a lot more from now on.

    Dammit.

    Prob all Arts and Comm. People from Co Dublin doing Arts collected their student card today. Tomorrow (8th) its science....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,865 ✭✭✭Syth


    Actually the points for science have gone up this year. 2 years ago it was 280 points. :O

    Freudian slip?!

    I saw my first two bona fide D4 burds on the bus this morning! I had to keep myself from sniggering in case everyone thought I was a psychopath -- but it was still funny!

    Hey!!! I'm going into first year arts and I live in D4! Does this leave me open to a lot of bimbo stereotyping?? Coz I got 455 I could have done something else you know..... And I DO know what I want to do for the rest of my life...

    Dam Right...

    what subjects?? "I'm from the country and have to admit i love the pink blond D4 girls" I don't believe the stereotype "all snobby and no brains" I was chatting to a couple of D4 girls last night and they were lovely.


    Ps :"I could have done something else you know"

    Don’t ever feel u need to justify what you do to anyone, if there were no arts the world would be a very very unhappy place. Just because the world is dominated by capitalists, doesn't mean the arts are dead. There just sleeping and when they wake, we will get the next instalment of existentialism.

    I said they were whores, not idiots.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Adblock


    I think in fairness there is an unbelievable hate towards D4's amongst all the other groups of society. I can see why there is the hate, but I think for a hate to be driven like that there is a huge jealousy factor setting in. people need to learn to be less obsessive of the "perfect life". There is no such thing.

    D4's regardless of their own view's on life are just people, they maybe blond and it may irritate you that they wouldn't look once in your direction but you shouldn't let it get to you.

    Now on the other hand if you find it entertaining by all means continue on but I wouldn’t refer to a woman as a whore no matter who she is because one day some man will say the same thing about your mother. It might hurt.

    Live and Let Live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I don't think any bad attitude towards D4s is to do with jealousy. Alot of the time, hate stems from hate. I'm sure we've all had experiences of some D4 person making snide remarks against another. It hardly endears them to the rest of us...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 jacket


    I'll call them what they are.

    Oh no, some man will call my mother a whore someday, boo-hoo :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 848 ✭✭✭Dinxminx


    I'm not a whore. I don't wear fake tan or make-up. I'm not blonde. I'm doing English, Spanish and Philosophy with a view towards dropping Spanish (I'm already fluent) and going on to do a masters in Journalism as soon as I get my degree. I wear pink if I feel like it but it's not a colour that features majorly in my wardrobe, and you weird D4 haters are striking me as really odd.... Why would you hate someone for where their parents chose to bring them up?

    I mean you couldn't really be that stupid.

    The man saying stuff about you mother was a reference to the social constructs of society and a re enactment of the phrase what comes around goes around.

    this might help

    D4 isn't an address, it's a state of mind.

    So you don't wear make-up or pink clothes, but I bet you loved it when the boys in Wessie grabbed your arse.

    There is a paradox in that. Who started the hate? Or more importantly who will end it.

    There is an anti-D4 element in UCD but when you see some of the D4s you'll understand why. Obviously you can't say all D4 people are nasty people...but alot of them are from what I've experienced.

    One guy told me about some D4 girl who was being paid €20 by her father to attend lectures...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    The whole D4 thing is more a state of mind than the actual place where you were born/went to school ect. I mean I went to school in D4, but as plenty of the posters here who've met me can confirm I don't fit the stereotypical D4 image! Its more a dislike of people who "act" D4, rather than ppl who were born there.

    Fair point, but it's a human reaction to hate those who have hate for others.

    Maybe they'd be T2s down there. You know...Timbuktu.

    I went to Wezz twice in my whole life. Nobody grabbed my ass. I was a tomboy and had (and still have, but now I have a boyfriend-- 2nd yr commerce) pretty high standards for a fourteen yr old... The spotty d*ckheads who went there bored me.

    You can find that select group, certainly.

    But beware, good looks + intelligence = Manipulation.

    Mark my f**kin words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    Pretty smart people are cool.

    Smart, pretty people... I agree with Seb.

    Even the bet dumb ones are manipulative.

    Yeah but they're easier to spot.

    What with being unsubtle and stoopid an' all.

    Never trust the stupid ones. They're so stupid that they're smart, at times. It's scary.

    Moaning about anything that much, whatever the topic, is just sad. You need more fulfilling lives.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,551 ✭✭✭panda100


    There not moaning there just getting their angst out!I have to admit that i dont think the d4 dislike thing stems from jealousy its just that in general they do look down there nose at other people.I did the ucd fashion show last year (yes i am ashamed)well i just did it for a laugh with me mates didnt think id get in and when i did i was all excited but ive never met a bunch of superficial,vain and condecending girls in me life.There was one nice sound girl from donegal and that was it.When you got the d4's on their own they were alright but generally they were quite mean i thought.
    Saying that i dont want to be rude or mean to them back cos there isnt enough love in the world of ucd :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Ruskie4Rent


    Maybe it's because some of the d4 heads are going in to ucd already in their little cliques and don't feel the need to make new friends.
    Just a suggestion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,187 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Which is exactly correct.
    I've already posted about it.

    I'm not giving out about the fact you're moaning about them, I'm giving out about the fact you're always fúcking moaning about them.
