    Love: The people.
    Hate: The inferiority complex we have as a collective.

    That's a cops attitude if ever there was one. No wonder most of them are never solved. It's absolutely disgusting

    You're enjoying your pint in peace in a pub in Inchicore. Next thing two masked men walk in and massacre the two men sitting beside you. Shots to the head. Shouting and screaming. Blood everywhere. It's evil beyond belief. Then you read that nauseating "known to Gardai" comment in the paper the following day. It's garda/media code for "he was a drug dealer so no need for any undue concern". It's a reprehensible attitude

    And the two men who were shot are scumbags and drg dealers I presume? If so, they won't be missed

    It's terrible that you have cancer, it really is, and I genuinely hope you beat it and live happily ever after.

    However, coming on here and using it as a stick to beat guilt into people is pretty unfair.

    I never knew there was segregation between normal people and "scumbags" in Irish society. It's not silly. It's very serious. Out of control murders is extremely serious

    Im glad scumbags are killin each other, i just wish the guards would do it themselves, bring them to a nice secluded field and shoot them.

    When you think about it, the justice system is so awful over here that if the bad lads werent killing each other they'd be having a great time altogether, nice short sentences,cosy jail cells, if they werent wasting each other we'd be fooked!

    How could you be as hard as a rock. i wouldn't care what a person who is not well says to me, i would just hope it makes them feel better. How would anyone be who had a disease.

    It's not surprising they are upset look at the mess the health care system is here, its all about money before the human right of health and saving lives!!!!

    ah another thing I don't like. Our unnatural obsession with "scumbags" and how we should go about getting rid of them no matter what the cost yet always seem to end up doing the wrong thing and end up with more "scumbags".

    There are no scumbags where I live except me of course. There are scumbags about a mile away from me but I leave them alone and they leave me alone. Yet everyone on here seems to be obsessed with scumbags

    I hate the way that since the global recession (granted we're in a worse situation than other countries) has arrived that everyone dismisses the good about Ireland. A thread started recently about what was good with Ireland and it was truly refreshing. We're in a bad situation, we have some clowns in the dail (we have our vote by the way) and there are people financially in dire straits but that isn't localised to Ireland. A lot of what is happening here is happening elsewhere and, in many ways, we have a lot to be thankful for. I wish people realised that.

    I like most places in Ireland apart from Dublin. The scenery is great. Its a peaceful in rural areas and a good country to be born in. Many people have chances of a good education and career opportunities. Most people have independence and freedom

    I hate the dishonesty, greed and dysfunction of the government affecting the people on the margins of it's society. The vulnerable should be protected, that goes without saying ..basic and they do not know that much.

    Um... okay. I wouldn't allow someone to use their illness to abuse me personally, but hey, that's just me.

    That's not what this thread is about.
