Who are the criminals?

    Reading boards is like reading Doctor, Lawyers, Right Wing Weekly.

    Who are the criminals?

    The ones somebody has decided and that were published by their friend, or the others?


    Personally, I think Bertie and Enda were the biggest criminals this state has ever seen. But what they did is not classed as criminality.
    I think there are many criminals, but I am wondering where people in general think they lie.
    I am also on the tail end of a family wedding, so may not be pinpointing areas (as boards also likes), so for the sake of pretending you are all idiots, who are the bigger criminals?

    People that put on their signal just as they're turning, making you unnecessarily wait for them at a junction.

    Politicians may commit criminal acts, but if you ask me those who murder, maim, assault (in all senses), torture and intimidate innocent people for their own gain are the real criminals.

    If we are talking politicians well then Gerry Adams is the biggest of them all for actual real crimes I would imagine.

    How is Enda Kenny a criminal?

    Yeah Bertie is a crook - but more of a criminal than, say, a child murderer? Silly to say they're the biggest criminals the country has ever seen.

    And obviously you know who criminals are.

    You do?

    Sigh... someone is asking what a criminal is. Murderer, rapist, child abuser, armed robber, someone who commits GBH, fraud, embezzlement, theft... I think they might be crimes.

    Gerry has actual blood on his hands, the others might have metaphorical blood on theirs.

    Everybody should have everything they want, and nobody should pay.

    Yes, actually you're right. Sure he doesn't even know anyone in the Ira, never mind even been in it himself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭SHOVELLER


    Some civil servants who dont do their jobs. They are therefore stealing taxpayers money.
    Not all civil servants of course.

    Wouldn't that apply to every job though? Stealing from any employer is stealing money from someone. Then your in to everyone that hasn't worked to 100% capacity 100% of the time.


    So everyone then.

    Can't say, boards will be sued and he will get more money.

    It also depends on who is classifying what as criminal activity.

    The law constitutes what is criminal. What offence has he committed that would be punishable by law?

    Actual blood on his hands means, for example, that he cut his finger. Metaphorical blood means he was responsible for people's deaths. Personally I think metaphorical blood on your hands is a much bigger deal. In fact I would say it is not worth commenting about literal blood on someone's hands, and that it is odd you would even know about it.

    "Who are the criminals?" is the thread title. You go on to say enda Kenny is a criminal. I'm asking what law he has broken that constitutes an offence under law? How is that the same as your thread title?

    It's quite simple then. The criminals are those who commit or are charged with and convicted of crime. Crime is an act committed in violation of law. So you know precisely who the criminals are.


    So, how is Enda a criminal?
