    Cursing is OK now and again, it's the people that can hardly go 3 minutes with using the f word that annoy me , I don't care what t shirts people wear. I don't like people who are constantly virtue signalling posting images or logos, memes on social media Blm etc eg but they don't do anything in real life like go to a protest or make a donation

    anyone that believes in conspiracy theory's you are thick or else very naive. Oh you read a few articles on a weird website or listened to a podcast and now your an expert on 5g covid etc

    People/men (lets be honest) who fart loudly like its perfectly acceptable, even worse if they make a joke about it after.

    People that brag about having no filter

    People who want to import culture wars from the UK to fix non existent problems.

    I get that. I thought you were either quoting yourself or endorsing a quote from a source outside boards because it didn't say the name of the poster or link to the quoted post.

    Friendly tip, look both ways before crossing the road.

    People who oppose change now and don't get that they would have also opposed change in the past.

    Those who oppose changes in terms for things "I'll always call it X" or changing roles in society, or marginalised groups getting equal rights. They would always have opposed thnge in society. Always opposing things isn't about the specific issues, its a mindset. They would have opposed all the hot button issues of the recent past like civil rights, gay rights, equal suffrage for everyone and so on.

    Sometimes the reasons are just recycled. Gay rights? But, shur if you give them equal rights, they'll start recruiting children.

    Trans rights? But, shur if you give them equal they'll just start recruiting children.

    They come up with reasons to oppose every change, but the reasons are secondary to the fundamental opposition to change. I generally don't get on with people who behave that way.

    People who make an error but instead of acknowledging it, use silly and illogical reasoning to defend it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,855 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    People who use the term 'mainstream media' are one thing, but when you get people using stuff like 'lamestream media' or 'fakestream media', you know they are far down the rabbithole of some f**ked up corners of the internet. You can throw 'cultural Marxism' in there as well.

    People who express their personality really bluntly through their clothes. Like by wearing band names or movie franchises on their t-shirt. Fair enough if you're on your way to a concert BTW.

    It's harmless enough but suggests a lack of actual personality.

    People who leave their head the ball dogs off the lead around other walkers with their dogs and give the opening line of "she's just friendly" when their dog is being a pain in the arse for you and your dog.

    Band T-shirts are fine when going to a gig but you don’t want to be “that guy” who wears the shirt of the band they’re going to see.

    Oh is that a thing amongst concert goers? You leanlrn something new every day. You wouldn't wear a tshirt of the band you're going to see? I wouldn't have guessed that's how it works. Would have thought it's more like going to a hurling match and wearing the team colours. But I suppose going to a concert isn't as adversarial.

    Follow up question is what tshirt would you wear to a concert?

    Some people would wear t-shirts of the band they are going to see but the cooler lads like EmmetSpiceland 😉 would wear t-shirts of similar but different bands. Personally, I've never wear a band t-shirt, although the friend that I usually go to gigs with buys one at most gigs. Whatever you're into...

    I agree with everything on here, especially the "people with notions" reference.

    A couple of months ago, I was talking to an auntie (married to my uncle). I had gotten engaged recently and it was still in that congratulatory phase. Now I wasn't expecting her to put on a show or anything, but all she was talking about was how great her kids are doing, without being prompted. The irony is, two of the kids are so snobby they aren't invited to the wedding (wouldn't be high-brow enough for them).

    Another time I was at a party, and there was a fella of a similar ilk there. We were talking about something completely unrelated to our careers or achievements, and within a minute he managed to turn the subject to how well he was doing. I quietly left the discussion as he kept rabbiting on, and would spot him in at least three more conversations throughout the time I was there (I had to leave early), going on and on about the same thing.

    One moronic thing I hate is people in pubs, usually of rugby persuasion, who bemoan how soft soccer players are, or how much tougher rugby players are compared to American football. Most of that type tend to not know the rules of their beloved sport, and only tune in during the Six Nations anyway.

    Where did I say I was trying to convince you that any one religion was the 'fountainhead' of misogyny or homophobia? You're putting words in my mouth.

    Religions, by and large, include homophobic and misogynistic ideology in their texts and sermons. It's just a fact of religion. Any religion which relies on the bible de-facto falls into this category as it's contained within the primary source of their ideologies.

    If someone I know says something homophobic, I will think badly of them. That does not mean I think they're the 'fountainhead' of all things homophobic - I don't know how you can infer that from my post.

    There is no 'thinking' Star Trek is more important than Star Wars.

    There is however knowing that Star Trek is more important than Star Wars. :pac:

    I gave up buying band T-shirts in my mid 20’s when you realize that you are paying 20 - 25 quid for a 2 - 4 euro T-shirt with poor quality print that will last about 3 or 4 washes before they shrink, fade, rip or random holes appear …if you are lucky.

    Reminds me, I still have about 8 of them at the bottom of a drawer somewhere..from the ‘90’s & ‘00’s

    Some band tshirts were fantastic quality. I used to have a load from the 80s and 90s that lasted hundreds upon hundreds of washes.

    Unfortunately though I reached an age a few years back where I felt like a bit of a sap wearing them and decided to axe them all from my wardrobe. :(

    This and anyone that doesn't think Second Toughest in the Infants is an absolute masterpiece.

    Sheeple like you need to wake up. Methinks you've been reading too much of George Soros' Irish Times.


    People who say "methinks" instead of "I think".

    People who refer to Micheál Martin as "Mehole Martin".

    People who address you with "Yo!".

    Or those who say one instead of I "Where could one find...."

    Think they are in a victorian novel or something.

    Mehole is a good one. Let's you know the person follows politics in tabloid form and as a soap opera rather than as a serious business of determining the future history of the country.

    Politics is presented as a soap opera where you don't even need to know much about how government and parliament work to have deeply held, inexorable opinions. Much the same way you can follow the premiership as a soap opera without knowing about tactical formations or player skills and form. I don't understand football (but I don't pretend to understand it either).

    That's fine, but it's handy to know what level of discussion someone is capable of having and using "Mehole" let's you know that pretty quickly.

    Yeah, they were not long grabbing hold of their dogs when I told them my lad would bite the head of them if they came near him🙄

    People who constantly use American slang, yo,, bro, you guys, lol, awesome, cool it just sounds strange when you talk like that with an Irish accent. People who look at their phone all the time when they are in a pub or a cafe , people who litter, i think you can be religious without being actually homophobic, that's a personal choice,
