    This just shows you how out of touch these woke , leftie , spoilt idiots that are in these universities. What upset the president of the stupid union so much ? It's was a mural of men from the University who died in ww1, but they weren't any type of men , they are white men in the painting . Turns out the woman in question was born quiet privileged with the silver spoon up her bum. What makes these idiots so out of touch with reality ???

    2 years ago? Are you you googling things to be outraged at?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Sure, isn't that part of the problem?

    Some obscure nothing from 2 years ago, that nobody remembers or read in the first place searched out so someone can be outraged by it and, without a hint of irony or self awareness, try to claim the moral high ground against the "permanently outraged" woke crowd.

    Outrage at outrage. Yep theres irony there.

    Not only that, she was shouted down and had to resign so the offense was delt with at the time.

    It's not often the antiwoke crew outdo the woke crowd, but Kildarelad shows it can happen. Outrage has gone full circle!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What about outrage at outrage of outrage. That's yours and Tony's angle isn't it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,474 ✭✭✭Obvious Desperate Breakfasts


    Was it an ageist thing???

    I think it’s because referring to Australia as a young country ignores all the people who lived there long before it was colonised. I can see the logic. And the new lyrics fit just as well, to be honest. This is a country which has pretty recent scars on this topic so I think this is a good move.

    "Johnny foreigner" wtf. Have I been transported back to the 1970s and listening to some sh*te from Jim Davidson.

    I used the term Johnny foreigner as a dig at those, particularly in the UK, who use it describe what racists would say. I guess that was a bit too subtle of me.

    Yes.
    Can you get s as anymore Irish than mr Ireland?

    He has Limerick accent ffs

    Limerick must have changed a lot since I was last there then :pac:

    As for this clutching pearls thing, and it's quite amusing how some thing I've scored an own goal, but the point I made is back in my original post. Y'all can try to make out I said something I didn't say or infer all you like.
    I doubt Allforit is going to confirm or deny one way or the other.

    Hi Princess, what's up?

    Fair enough.

    Takes some balls to come on the air and admit you don't know the difference between a guy from Limerick and a foreigner; or are you going to be covering it up now by pretending it was sarcasm...?

    Just as well a Cliff Richard song isn’t the Australian anthem!

    Surprised you don’t know this one, R.

    From UrbanDictionary:

    A commonly seen stereotype of the quintessentially conservative, heterosexual, white male, who despite all his privileges and advantages in life, is easily sensitive to any criticism or mockery.
    Unable to see outside of his own perspective, and takes everything personally, even when it's not about him specifically. Fragile like a snowflake, but with the mentality of a "bro."
    Usually denies or ignores reality and the very real struggles of other genders, races, sexual identities, etc.
    Represents those afflicted with the "fragile male ego" and is the opposite of "woke."

    Just been catching up on the thread. The style that ''definition'' is written in reminds me of someone. I can't, ''for the life of me,'' remember who it is though...

    "Needs" "more" "inverted" "commas"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭Biker79


    Needs more faux-chumminess by using an "initial" when addressing a "poster".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 663 ✭✭✭COVID


    Yep. I hear you 'B', hell everyone hears you.
    The Carthaginians unloaded their wares and arranged them on the beach; then they'd get back on their boats after lighting some fires close to the water's edge. When the native inhabitants saw the smoke, they would come to the shore and, after setting out gold in exchange for the goods, withdraw.
    So in a way 'B', things haven't changed that much since the 5th century, nor should they.

    Not sure how this is racist. Maybe a little bit sexist, with the weight thing but its an 81 year old man giving his opinion on Romanian TV.
    Fear not, the woke armies have arisen to decry him regardless.

    It take some balls to be so obtuse, as if noone would notice. I refer you both back to my original post (again) which you both vultured over. It's all there in black and white. To spell it out, the fact he's born Irish makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the point I originally made or where I was coming from. If you both weren't so focused on vulturing maybe you wouldn't have missed my point and made fools of yourselves.


    And by the way, I have reported a couple of posts on this thread, reason being it's the same point over and over and over again. That is, the argument that 'what are you getting so het up about', 'just ignore it, it will go away', 'what's the big deal, your promoting all this', 'it's all just trivial stuff - noone cares', etc etc.

    Since my reports have gone unrecognized (and that's fine mods), - I'm going to call it out myself.

    Spineless. Utterly spineless argumentative style. Why Joey don't you just admit if RTE were to product place race or some other minority demographic that you'd agree with it. Or you could have argued it's not happening at all and it's all in my mind, but you didn't do either. You just seen it as an opportunity to vulture. You're utterly spineless Joey, going around vilifying anyone you can whenever you can because you see everything in black and white, lefty and everyone else.

    And that is what we have had throughout this whole thread. Spineless posters who who don't have the balls to defend the wokeisms, instead criticise the people who bring them to our attention instead.

    Because you can't defend them. You just agree with the whole notion of it. If it gets ppl's backs up then it's doing it's job. That's the whole point. Anyone who isn't on side is a racist. Pathetic.
