Druggies and their walking sticks

splashthecash · 28-06-2011 05:22PM #1

what is it with the druggies\scumbags around Dublin (especially around tara station and surrounding streets) and their canes\walking sticks??

Is it a necessity from the drug\alcohol abuse or some kind of social welfare scam? If it is because of a scam they are all pulling I'd love to grab it off them and hop the thing off their f**in' heads :mad:

GOD! I HATE these parasites - and a lot of the time they are pushing around a buggy with a lovely little child and it makes me sad to thing what kind of life they have in front of them...

It's so they can walk and put pressure on one side of the body in hope of it providing a nicely popped vein for them to inject their junk into.

Many of those children will grow up to be that adults you so despise.

The people you are giving out about were once a child in the exact same situation as the children you feel sad for.

Yeah, thats what makes it so sad....especially because my daughter is a toddler just like them. I guess its just luck what family\parents you are born into really.

What an odd thing, I've never seen this phenomenom.

Might it be a fashion thing? I've some of those "gansta rappas" with canes, maybe they're copying them?
Were they using them like they actually needed them or holding them with a bit of swagger?

Exactly. I hate seeing them too. But most of them had very little chance of living any other sort of a life. It's a horrible existence and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.

Anyway, on topic, I've never seen this cane/walking stick thing of which you speak!

Wow..

You could cut the preconscious stereotyping in this thread with a knife.
Your post seems to convey some serious social tolerance issues OP.

Have you ever considered that you could be prejudice against an entire social class of people?

I'm in complete agreement that there are absolute scum out there that are doing nothing but wasting their lives, damaging others and being a drain on resources.

But how about just for arguments sake we don't tar everyone with the same brush?

So are they scum or do you feel sorry for them. I'm confused about how you view these people.

Many addicts have painful abscesses on their legs and feet from improperly or un-hygenically injecting themselves.

Hilarious stuff altogether.

I blame the catholic church because of their ban on abortion and condom´s,now you see the result.There is a lot to be said for selective breeding.

ChairSniffer · 28-06-2011 05:45PM

Scumbags love the subtle pacing of Kubrick movies.

That's why (imo) we should really focus on the primary school years to catch kids and try to work with them before they develop problems

I reckon we should redirect the money spent in the Ivory towers of 3rd level education and plough the money into primary school and expert services for children.

No, I meant it the way that I wrote it.

Oh I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood.. I thought you were being completely discriminatory to the point of inflicting physical violence based on nothing but appearance and your own social hatreds..

Wait.. Actually.. That sounds EXACTLY like what you just described.
Also it sounds like a hate crime..
Well done..

The walking stick/cane is nothing new, have seen a good few of them over the years in Dublin with them around that spar at the top of Talbot st(?) and around Dunnes etc onto O'Connell st, they use them because (as someone already said) they have shot one too many dirty needles into their vains in their legs so need a walking stick/cane to help them walk while they shoot up in the other leg until both legs have to be removed.

I have a feeling this started more so (to look like a junkie pimp lol) in Limerick for some reason but dont quote me on that.

jesus - I have to say, boards seems to be getting very top of people who seem to just jump into a thread to say something for the sake of it.

Wazdakka, if that is your real name...what social class of people exactly did I "tar"? I can only presume you are referring to the small section of lower class citizens who wear tracksuits and use canes?

Good job. Keep it up.

A lot of them would have them for protection against attack from fellow em like minded people,you cant get charged with having a walking stick and it can make a good defensive sword or baton.
