    We LITERALLY don't, people are walking around with triple digit convictions ffs, ask anyone outside of Ireland if that's normal and they'll think your insane, people are getting 4-5 years for rape or murder, insanity.

    nobody is getting 4-5 years for murder. that is just a stupid thing to say.

    Would people be willing to stump up more taxes to build more jails? i bet not

    parenting and our joke legal system.

    It will only get worse. I'm a primary teacher at the senior end and each year less and less basic discipline is being accepted by parents. Basic manners are decreasing and an entitled, spoilt attitude is on the rise. Soon we will only be allowed to reprimand children in Morse code. And that is not good for society when these children reach adulthood.

    Your not wrong. Few weeks ago I was told by another parent that I was too strict on my eleven year old daughter by not buying her a phone as most of her classroom has them.



    Yes im a strict parent but im a fair parent, I may not be the best but better than some of the animals I see out there.

    thats not murder


    Ah sure that's ok then, his family will be thrilled.

    thats not murder

    This is the problem. Ah sure look he was drunk, he's a new man and he probably won't do it again... This thread is now getting so sad with these liberal surrender monkeys. I want to cry about the injustice in this kip....

    There is another forum here on Boards...it is all about the brutality of the teachers, especially the Religious ones. But now the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction....and that's not right either.. Back in the past, the boundaries were clear ( and enforced ) so when you left school,,,one thing you had learned was respect...ignore it, and you paid the price. But now....no boundary's any more...if a Parent tries to correct a child in any way...it's frowned upon.... mis-behaving is considered as "normal" development, and best advice is to "Ignore it" it's just a stage, and it will pass. And so we are now reaping the seed's we have sown..

    The deterrent got these scrotes is in Iran/ Saudi,not oh so p . ****ing C. Ireland

    There used to be many more of those murders back in the day. 586 road deaths in 1975, 165 in 2015. Nowadays as well there is a lot less anti social behaviour compared to 20 or 30 years ago. I remember gangs of youngsters congregating and causing trouble. I don't see that any more, probably because they are all inside on their smart phones. Football hooliganism was a big thing back then as well. The crowds are mostly a lot more civilised now.

    Today's generation of children play outside for only half the time their parents did, so that seems to be translating into less trouble on the streets when they get a bit older as well.

    Can I swap those kids for the ones that we have?

    Your comprehension of the law is so little there would be space in a thimble left


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Hal3000


    Your comprehension of the law is so little there would be space in a thimble left

    If that's relative to space, I would be occupying most of the thimble. Your comprehension of sentencing is snowflake-esque.....let's just hope nothing ever lands at your door. I wonder then will you ask the judge to go easy on them ????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    Your comprehension of the law is so little there would be space in a thimble left

    Still a man got 4 years for killing another man and drunk driving and driving double the speed lining in a built up area. (One of the laws that El Duderino probably thinks that applies to “anyone”).

    So it does need some explanation as to the reason for the leniency.

    So what is the best course ? Let people with multiple serious convictions roam the streets and keep committing crimes because rehabilitation works and it's the best course of action ? If you seriously think these people care about contributing to society in any meaningful way you're mistaken. As I said before people make mistakes, but scrotes with 20 plus convictions... Forget it. Long sentence is only answer.

    What's the answer? The first thing to do Is ask what works and what doesn't work in other comparable countries. Obviously. Same as everything.

    But without even being curious about whether it works or not, you conclude we should just lo k them up.

    Don't you care about the world you're leaving for your children? If scumbag behaviour grows faster than you can lock people away, then the problems will grow over time. More victims of crime and more people locked away. Sounds like the worst of all possible worlds.

    I don't get it. That law does apply to anyone. What are you getting at?

    What policies do you suggest to tackle the increase in scumbaggery you admit is happening. Concrete suggestions.

    Old people raise young people. Old people dont like what they created so who do they blame? Young people. Obviously.

    Now you're getting it. Those are the correct first questions.

    I didn't claim to have the answers. But starting and ending with "lock em up" is a surefire way to limit your Chances of success.

    Delighted you're finally at the point of asking what actually works.

    Again, I would be only interested in locking up serial repeat offenders so your point above is of no relevance.

    Your solution is let repeat offenders roam our streets until we find out what works best !!!!

    Hmmmm,

    Don't you care about the world you're leaving for your children??????

    Headline sentence may not be 4/5 years but thats all some are serving.

    Didnt some lad down Kilrush get 7 years for stabbing some guy to death, now dress it up with any language or technical term you like personally I call it Murder. He'll be out in probably less than 4 years.

    I've commented on similar before, Stack em and Rack em, Build the prison spaces, No Parole if previous and no more concurrent sentencing. The reason they rack up triple digit convictions is they are jailed for an offence but the others are considered part of same sentence - Ridiculous

    You have no idea how amusing it is that you are calling me a snow flake. And no relative to space you still know **** all, but that's the problem with ignorance, you're too thick to realise you know **** all.

    You stated:

    " Your comprehension of the law is so little there would be space in a thimble left"

    Again, space is a relative concept. By your own rational I'm occupying most of the thimble with my comprehension of law, so therefore I'm quite knowledgeable on the topic, relatively speaking !!

    Now, if you'd of said: your comprehension of the law equates to a thimbles worth in size, then you would have insulted me. But, you didn't so jog on....

    No I was at the point of asking you to tell us what works rather than hand waving about mythical other countries where something you can’t explain somehow works.

    It’s not even clear ireland locks people up more than most (and more importantly relative to crime levels) or that we don’t in fact have rehabilitate facilities - we do.

    What works in one country wont necessarily work in another, as people have stated in the thread there is very poor social cohesion in Ireland, especially Dublin. And if we scratch the surface of the so-called utopias in scandinavia, they are experiences growing problems that their lenient and rehabilitation-led systems cant seem to address. As far as what we leave our kids, lets look at what they're seeing in my area for example, open air drug dealing, joyriding cars and motorbikes, anti-social behaviour, and absolutely no repercussions for it, none, zero.

    Oh don't get me wrong. I didn't think you were asking the question in good faith. I think it's fascinating that you're so opposed to even wondering what works on other countries that you think the idea is ridiculous.
