Scumbags

Daegerty · 26-06-2011 08:00PM #1

Such a popular topic round here but is it all a bit overblown? Just trying to find out how much these "scumbags" really affect a person's life.

There are scumbags everywhere but I've had very little trouble from them. The last time they actually bothered me must have been about 3 years ago but I got over that.

What happened then?

Are scumbags not them small bags you take on holidays ? You know, you wear them like a belt ?

PCPhoto · 26-06-2011 08:02PM

I work in the courts ... so make my life miserable !!

(well... they would make my life miserable - if I gave a sh1t)

Meh, I know (or know people who know) most of the scumbags in town so I've never really had any trouble.

Scumbags are a result of ineffective community policing

Laisurg · 26-06-2011 08:06PM

Caused me quite a bit of hassle a few years ago when i lived in finglas, havn't had much trouble since, to be honest though guards do fúck all about them.

"What's that mean, scum?"
"You know, politicians, bankers, lawmen... scum"

What exactly is a scumbag?,i see it used here everyday in so many different terms.If a person has a skinhead they are a scumbag,if a person has tattoos they are a scumbag,if a person drinks in a pub that sells pints for €3 they are a scumbag.To me none of those people are scumbags.

I'd say more a result of over regulation and them not being allowed to do anything & a lack of facilities.

just stick it up to them and they shít themselves,they don't expect you to actually stick up for yourself,anyone who doesn't stick up for themselves deserves a beating imo.

Scumbag can range from a lad in a liverpool top hanging outside a chipper/bookies/run down pub to a dogdey drug dealer. They're often badly spoken, a bit ugly, stupid expression, wear grey tracksuits and often travel in packs. They're either called Anto or Keith or some nickname ending in 'er' or 'o'. The younginz' sometime have their hands down their jocks on their...private parts. The girls communicate by roaring nonsense, smeared in fake tan and kinda look like pikeys. They often spit between the gap in their 2 top front teeth and their highest ambition is to drive a car someday and maybe have a child and buy him a baby size liverpool jersey.
They lack intelligence and end up doing pretty meanial work or skive benefits. They're very confrontational to anyone they cant empathize or relate to. They come from a backround of poverty and are perhaps desinfranchized by industrialization in the past as they were likely rural folk by heritage who just farmed and tried to get by. So now they are the run down as the demands of technology and industry simply wasnt part of their general make up and are now merely low tier consumers who will never climb the ladder that demands what they cant deliver.

Basically, they are the Hyenas of society.

I could be completely wrong though.

This would mean most students are scumbags. Which is something a large percentage of AH appears to believe anyway.

Not this ****e again.

Oranage2 · 26-06-2011 08:30PM

anybody claiming they don't know what a scumbag is is either a f*cking idiot or a lefty liberal f*cktard.

scumbags are the anti social people

that harass you as you walk buy
drink and smoke on a bus
have multiple convictions

Superbus · 26-06-2011 08:32PM

What would people's thoughts be on a bag filled with scum?

I have not yet come across any decent sized town in Ireland without scumbags. That said, they do relatively little harm to anyone. Spaniards, which I had an abundance of in my school, were far noisier, destructive, and an eyesore in general than "scumbags".

Surely if there were no scumbags you'd be out of a job though?

if you consider wearing a tracksuit to court acceptable
if you dont think heroin is a bad descision
if you tuck your tracksuit into your socks
if you consider argos 'high class'
if you regularly visit cash converters
if you live in a council house and have kids to get more money off the social
if you go straight from the dole office to the pub or bookies
if you buy hash instead of weed
if you play music from your phone on the back of a bus
if you think 21s or Q-Bar good nightclubs
if you think a boxy starlet or 1.4 civic hatchbacks are cool cars
if you have ever said "what are you lookin at" to somebody
if you have ever started on somebody in a pub just because your drunk
if you have a bunch of kids by different dads you dont talk to anymore
if your still with your kids da even though hes in prison for something drug, theft or violence related.

I know or know someone that knows the majority of scumbags around, so they don't bother me too much really. Still twats though.

I'm really sick of the sectarian gang of yobs that follow a foreign soccer club being associated with Irish national identity.

CorkMan · 26-06-2011 08:58PM

Have had troubles in the past. I used to live in an area which was mainly mad of families, and I only lived with my cousin. A couple of times when out and about on that side of town scum tried to mug me, but I stood up for myself.

I'm big enough, but these people try to take advantage of the "politics" of the neighborhood and think I will back down because I do not have a big family behind me.
