Looking like a hippy is guaranteed to get you few smacks of baton in a riot and rightly so.

Bugger. Count me out so.

I'd say some people will try confront the police on that day. Of course sensible people would laugh at them and scumbags would start looting.

As I've said on another popular forum many times already: Not your personal army.

Personally I think that most left-wing protesters are knackers.

I have an idea, let's sit on our holes and do nothing and wait for the next election in 2 years time and vote for FF and some hole licking independents. In the meantime when our kids and grandchildren grow up we can tell them we did fukc all to rid them of the big debt that they now carry. I'm sure they'll be proud of us. Oh and let's scoff and roll our eyes up to heaven when someone suggests protesting.

Don't panic. We'll have one local soon enough

Can we use the riot as an excuse to loot shops like footlocker and champion sport? You know like how we did in the 06 riots.

Sensible people here meaning apathetic sympathisers who reckon the banks should be saved, Fingleton was worth his pension, S. Fitz is a decent chap and given a chance FF/FG would turn it around types

and scumbags being people who earn less than they do or heaven forbid are on the dole and are pissed off with how the place is being run :rolleyes:

it must be my failing eyesight but when I was scrolling down thru AH I thought this was "anyone up for a roide"

24-04-2010 03:37PM

hehe I should have posted my last post in this thread instead

when the hell are Irish people going to learn we're a nation of fcuking cry babies and never achieve anything through protest outrage etc?

Outrage needs to be stepped up a gear and I would love something similar to what happened in Thailand recently to happen here. Public execution to follow would be an ideal icing on the cake for me personally. That would be a dream come true.

Rotting to the core. Civil servants doing f all then going on "strike" and doing more f all.

Corrupt social workers, police, politicians among many others.
We've no one imposing accountability for anything. Imagine what happened in the uk recently was to happen here? If in the US do you think these fcukwits would still be walking the street never mind working in such a highly paid job...

Ireland is a fcuking pathetic joke.

All in all, probably not my best post, but in my honest opinion, I'd be up for a good old fashion pitch fork and burning stick demonstration at the front gates of the Dáil. About time some cúnts starting taking responibility for what's going on or get out in favour of someone who will!

deelite · 24-04-2010 04:55PM

If there is to be a riot - I'll bet there'll be a tax or levy put onto it.....

Elenxor · 24-04-2010 05:07PM

great idea! but can we have it around 8pm, ? I have to work and it'll take a couple to get to Dublin.

Sometimes it is how stuff gets fixed.

The French don't have the best health system in Europe and longest annual leave entitlement for nothing.

havent read beyond the first post, but if something was to be done wouldnt it be best to storm the banks head offices and destroy their servers/backups whatever else to get people out of debt?

Impressive thinking. The Dublin Brigade of the IRA, under the command of Oscar Traynor, did this on 25 May 1921 when they attacked Dublin's Customs House, where most British tax records were held. 5 volunteers were killed and 80 were arrested so there's a few lessons to be learned.

But your general thesis is solid. Keep working.

Yeah, and Cowen, Lenihan and the rest of those mé féiner fúckwits are really fixing something other than their numerous pensions, their ridiculously inflated salaries and obscene perks (while demanding that we give up our much inferior financial remunerations)?

F ucking it up and fixing it up are two entirely different concepts. Pumping billions in Anglo-Irish Bank has nothing to do with fixing this economy. It is delusional, wishful thinking of the worst sort, to contend that these current methods are working.

The Irish people will be paying billions of euro per annum in interest for an eternity- we will never repay the principal, that is the reality - as a direct result of these arseholes and their fellow travellers. If this system is "working" ....

PS: Not forgetting the chief culprit of this "working" system, Mr Bertie Ahern of Drumcondra, Dublin.

Agreed 100%. The reality in Ireland at the present time is that Corporate crime is increasingly rewarded with huge pensions, and Democracy is a forgotten dream......... the local election results proved that beyond any doubt.
Apparently some very persistent (and delusional?) FF supporters remain...

A riot is a disastrous idea unless it is properly organised, no sense in mindless vandalism where nothing prevails but anarchy.

This country is in dire need of a full scale revolution. We have a piss poor crowd in government at present, the other two parties share virtually identical ideals and will be no better and the fourth choice are, in essence, communist. I don't feel I can vote for anyone next time round, there just isn't a competent person around.

Revolutions are not started on full bellies though. It won't happen unless things get very drastically worse. If they do you have my word that I will drive this revolution myself.

I heard the Gardai have been getting extra riot training from some US experts recently in Templemore.

I also heard Biffo told his Garda driver "if I were you id get out of this country because ye haven't seen anything yet..."

Prob just an urban legend but still makes ya think.
