    SU email sez that nominations are now open for this year's SU officer elections. Closing date is 24th January, and campaign season opens on 8th February.

    So, who's in the running?

    I will posed in this thread when suitably pissed off. I'm hoping to improve upon the threat "My daddies a barrister" this year.

    I hope for the love of God, that the SU disbands itself and makes a moral decision to end this charade and shameless popularity contest. How many ridiculous posters with cretins doing something 'whacky' will I have to endure this year?

    I smiled at the thread title. Which probably means that it's past its sell-by date unfortunately.

    We need a Columbine-style massacre in Trinity.

    Acadamecially orientated students (as well as the quirky sound people! - they tend to make good leaders) who actually contribute to the institution taking out all the gimp wasters and underperforming saddos who trapse in and out every day and should never have been allowed matriculate in the first place.

    We could start with some plastic explosives in number 6 :) I'm sure there are plenty of intelligent people in the Chemistry Department who are sick to death of the continual ****e the SU and their groupies come out with. I mean you open the TN over your 11's looking for some light-hearted fun and College gossip and what do you get? Pages and pages of ****e that nobody cares about only a bunch of number 6 knob-ends. Frankly, one is better off reading Communications of the ACM than any of the college newspapers these days.

    :pac:

    Why is it when somebody suggests that the SU is a popularity contest, they automatically assume the position of some far right wing pensioner? The SU has long exceeded its brief and it propagates the disturbing lack of wit in 21st century discourse. Are we really going to have to endure Jason Byrne wannabe's making speeches before lectures again this year?

    In these times of increasing fear, decreasing freedom and ridiculously over-reacting authorities such a comment could land it's utterer in a lot of trouble (ok, so they most likely wouldn't get punished, but they could end up the subject of a serious police interrogation.). It's happened before for much less, maybe not in ireland but most of our media does not come from ireland (especially concering idiotic over-reactions by authorities). Add to this the fact that unlike terrorists with political goals, the pyschology of a school shooter is such that they could actually announce their plans on the internet beforehand.

    It's not really a "haha funny" thing, but more of a "did he just say that? haha what a rascal" type thing.

    No, its not. I'm sure he doesn't plan to kill a load of students but it was an epic phail if his intention was to arouse a strong reaction.

    Well the post immediately below his contains the offense he seeks (if it was just your standard poor joke it would be ignored).

    My favourite response when people criticised elections for being 'simply a popularity contest' is that surely in an election the most popular person should win, and I would be interested to know what other means of choosing leaders they proposed!

    Speaking of societies and elections, the fact that Anarchist society hold democratic elections for their leadership always amuses...

    AAAARRRRRGH. There was a large crowd outside house 6 this evening, among that crowd were all the people I know to be out and out hacks (seriously they were all there in one place wtf?). If the candidates didn't all have their peons harrassing people as they try to go abou their day, perhaps i wouldn't hate the whole thing so much.

    If it gets bad enough, this year I may actually go the whole hog and soil my vote :D.
