Proposal to preserve old post boxes. Hitler is alive and well.

I can understand keeping the old ones with free state emblems, but they want to also make the ones with British logos and crowns protected structures too.

Tell me this: would Germany consider a Swastika to be a heritage symbol? Don’t think so. Sand blast all symbols of Britishness and cleans this country of our brutal colonial past.

Ok so should we demolish Leinster House, the Customs House and the GPO too?

Godwinned in the title post.
Is this a record?

It's a catchy title, I'll give you that much

No. Just get rid of the ornaments and statues that are on them. They are all around the top of customs house.

Rename royal canal the Markievicz canal or Cumann na mBán canal

If Irish education is so much more balanced and better than British as I read on here constantly, why are there so many posters who only see black and white?

That's it block out our history because a post box is inflammatory. You're really running out of topics to start threads on.

I suppose the Third Reich wasn’t that bad a place to live either

Oh my goodness!

I actually enjoy your posts, but this one is a bit wide of the mark.

The suggestion is to preserve them for historic reasons, they're part of our history. If the postboxes go, so should the GPO, Dublin Castle, Rotunda Hospital, and a whole load of other 'symbols of Britishness'.

Written in English as well. Fair play to you, you win the Ironic Post of the Year Award.

Some sort of pre-Godwining. Impressive.

No.

Someone has to reply to nonsense with some perspective.

Are you trying to impose a police state on the thread now? Ironic.

Hitler wants postboxes kept? Ya wha?

You always think you’re better and more educated than everyone else. There is a stench of smugness and superiority off you. Back on your ivory tower.

You're crazy, man. I like you but you're crazy.

Srameen's posts are always informative. No need for personal insults.

That's what Hitler said about a group of people.

Are Am Eye · 26-10-2017 07:08PM

Gerrup, I suggest you type up your concerns on this matter, put them in an envelope, put a Che G stamp on it, put the letter into a Nazi Post Box and send it to Keelin Shanley.

In fairness, he is. Well, not better, but certainly well informed.

Tell us, why do you post so much nonsense? And why do you get so bent out of shape when it’s pointed out?

In fairness to Hitler though, he never put it on a post box.

What were Hitlers views on telephone boxes? The Eircom ones, specifically.

I hear he was behind the idea to issue shares.

Oh, don't worry, there's certainly at least one poster in here, who appears sympathetic to Gerrup's position (on this topic).

Correction, exactly one.
