    If it's the Indo, they'll invent a crowd of 30,000 demonstrators looking for blood.

    Couldn't disagree with this more.

    No wonder today's society is so fucked.

    We have kids smashing bricks into buses, Guards getting treated like shit, Fire and Ambulance men getting stoned trying to their job.

    If kids are though that "No one is more deserving to be treated above or below anyone else" then they grow up with a chip on their shoulder, reveling against authority, showing little or no respect for people in holding privileged positions in society.

    It's called respect.

    We are all equal, doesn't mean you shouldn't respect the president of your country. No one is asking him to donate his kidneys, just get off his disrepectfull idiot ass for a second. I bet the snivelling little s.hit stands to greet simon cowell!

    Simon Cowell probably has more power than Mary McAleese to be fair, he could probably have you killed with one phone call

    Yes we are all equals in this country, we don't have a Monarchy as far as I know. People are getting their knickers in a twist over nothing.

    No they don't, that sounds like the kind of bullsh*t snobbish parents instill in their spoiled brats. If kids are taught that "someone is more deserving to be treated above or below anyone else" they grow up with a sense of entitlement and a belief they should be treated a certain way.

    People, not just kids should be taught to treat others as they treat you.

    How has that got anything to do with my point exactly?

    Posh kids, are you for real?

    I am speaking of positions in society that should come with a level of respect.

    I am the first one to say that some sections of society were wrongly treated like Gods in the past - Priests, Doctors etc.

    However, to give a Soldier, Guard or the President of your Country a little respect is not too much ask now.

    Normally anybody in the vicinity of a dignitary is made aware of the protocol which this dignitary is entitled to and everybody on the stand would have known. It is nothing to do with Mary McAleese but the office of President of Ireland. Says a lot about a person if you disrespect your own President.

    If Ludwig van Beethoven was watching that he wouldn't have stood either. Respect for maestros!

    The respect a person gets should not be in anyway deemed by their profession, more by their actions. A lot of doctors do good work and help people on a daily basis why are they wrongly treated with respect? On the opposite side of the coin a lot of guards feel as if they are in someway priviliged and treat people like sh*t, why do they deserve respect?

    I just watched it on the rte player. Talk about an over reaction! If he threw the child aside then and stood up there'd be more people complaining!

    All 300 or so guests did stand up - EXCEPT Nicky Bleedin Byrne and his wife Georgina who remained seated with their kids on their laps! Even when the President approached him to greet him (shouldn't that really be the other way around?:confused:) he still remained seated and only managed to raise himself a couple of inches off his seat to 'allow' President McAleese to kiss him. To add insult to injury, he didn't even take off his sunglasses as she approached and the President almost knocked them off his face as she kissed him. How rude can one person be?!!

    If you missed it, the incident happened live on TV and the parade coverage is available on the RTE Player - the Presidential arrival is around 6 mins into it iirc.

    For god's sake, the man stood up as much as he could, they're young kids they've got there on their laps ffs.

    Like the way I neither 'won' nor 'failed' in your summation.

    I slammed the guy and called him a prick and then provided video proof of his innocence, guess I broke even :P

    Can't accuse me of sitting on the fence anyway, I'm either on one side or the other.

    Usually with a shotgun .. :D
