The lad doth protest too much!

You know boy, it's a commonly accepted fact that failing miserably to address the points raised in any way means you automatically win any debate.
Congratulations.

Jaysus lad, this isn't a debate. Mindless ranting and raving don't make debate. Great entertainment though.

It isn't even a debate by AH low standards.

I used to respect them and really wanted to join at one point. I'm a taxpaying, law abiding, ordinary guy but any dealings I've had with them in the last few years at checkpoint or anything at all and they've generally have an unbelievably ignorant attitude. To the point of going out of their way to be smart arsed about certain things.

They need to cop on a bit, eg giving people the third degree and being an awkward prick when somebody has clearly bought a new car and hasn't got the tax disc yet. It's impossible to get the tax disc until you get the ownership cert but you still get treated and spoken to like you're back in the Principal's office.

Manners cost nothing and respect is a two way street. When they come to cut Gardaí's pay I'll shrug my shoulders and that's down to their dismissive attitude towards the general public. When they cut nurses and clerical officers pay I'll be pissed off, again that's down to their attitude which is fantastic in my experience.

Hmmmm....People don't seem to cop it. Are people generally slow to grasp things or are they just inclined to be general!

I reckon you could be 10 times brainier than the academic requirements set out. That still doesn't mean you'd get the job. There's a whole lot more to being smart than being clever.

Sure dude. Horse-sense = horse-sh1t. It's a phrase used by anyone who got less points in their leaving than they have fingers and toes.
I wouldn't get the job is right because I'd be so embarrassed at the interview I'd burst out in tears.

what are you talking about? He mentioned his bad experience with them and stated it was his experience. If people again and agian have bad experiences with people who shouldnt have ever been gaurds then It would be common sense to assume that there was something wrong with the organization that allowed them to be there.

That really doesn't look like an assault TBH. Sure, if you walked up to someone in the street and did it then fine, assault. But he was resisting being moved on so a takedown was fair enough.
W4nkers who should be shot or not, you have to respect the loaded farmers and senile grannies who voted the government in and let them get on with annihilating our country.

PrivateEye · 22-11-2010 01:51AM

Surely that middle aged man outside the Dail could have been removed in a better manner than that? Two Gardaí could move him without much difficulty you'd think. He was flung to the concrete, it was painful to watch.

Shame on those who did it. Seriously lads, ask who took your pensions and stop taking it out on Joe Soap.

No harm to him, it's fantastic he was there to protest, only 20/30 or so seemed to have turned up, but that is hardly harassment. You think he should have been let stand there or something?
