    I'm entirely in favour of a government crackdown on Catholicism, actually.

    Hmmm, were you, your mother, father, grandparents or their parents baptised ? If so, the train is this way -:

    Why are there so many skangers causing hassle for the ordinary people in this country? Because our judicial system in an absolute joke. Excluding the newly added law to target "gang members", our Government, past and present, have done little else to tackle the problem, and when any of these anti-social scrotes are locked up, they have it cosy, enjoy their time "with friends", and get out much earlier than they should. Change the laws, increase the sentences, have them work hard whilst locked up, take no crap off them, fcuk "early release on good behaviour", too many filths playing the system, living off the State, contributing absolutely nothing to society :mad:

    *blood starting to boil :mad: :)

    I abandoned that ship quite a while ago. :)

    Grandparents and their parents are out of the picture and we won't be digging up corpses, and parents will see the light and probably recant.

    Its not even a counter-culture, just a stubborn unlearned anti-culture that is concerned with annoying it's neighbour and discouraging people who might a difference than anything. it's like the dark ages all over again when you could spot a simple peasant a mile off!

    And it's turned into an atheist thread!!!, Ha ha, I was wondering how long it would take!?!

    Maybe we should create a new law like "goodwins law"

    The "After Hours law": af·ter-hours   [af-ter-ouuhrz, -ou-erz, ahf-]
    adjective:

    occurring, engaged in, dragging threads to atheism after a certain amount of posts

    I hate Skangers! I am sure most people do. Even secretly. I am sure Skangers hate themselves too, as they spent alot of time trying to kill themselves with drugs and fights and seem to enjoy getting themselves arrested or shot to top off a night on "the Buzz".

    So, they wear a uniform and are clearly identifiable. They hang around in large groups annoying the whole neighbourhood. They are prone to abusive behaviour, vandalism and voilent crime. A search of almost any skanger will turn up drugs at any time. They don't contribute to society except as ex heroine addict guest speakers in schools.

    Why the hell does the gov not just Clean this human excrement up? Its not like they are hard to find they are fookin everywhere!

    Would you Support government legislation to crackdown on Skanger culture and behaviour?

    For the record I am from poorer areas associated with skangerry , born and reared. I never stole a car or played hardhouse music at 2 am in an apartment block at ludacris volumes. I don't go around threatening to shoot people.

    I make no connection between Skangers and poor people. I am a poor person.

    :D What about hip hop music?

    I just don't like the 'skangers' that intimidate people and are always violent, Like my friend had a cat and on halloween a bunch of 'skangers' decided it would be hilarious to take bats and beat the poor thing to a pulp? Thats just cruel! It's those that bother me the most all the others that skulk around the town are pretty harmless!

    Why do skangers have to put up with snobs?

    They government should just get all these snobs of the streets, it's just horrible having to walk past them!

    The opposite of a skanger is not a snob:rolleyes:

    It's a bit surprising that there are so many 'skanger' types in this country when you think of the standard of schooling and education we have.

    You'd expect it over in the UK where the education system for the lower middle classes and below is absolute garbage. I've always found it a bit insulting that the show Shameless has all those Irish surnames when the Tans practically invented the underclass.

    Another thing that surprises me about these people is the blinkered-ness and anti-intellectualism that flourishes in scobieism / skangerism, you'd think some of them would scratch their heads for a moment and wonder if there's more to the world then their lifestyle of wacky-baccy and Dutch Gold and crap music.

    True, but I don't like snobs, so I wanted to show that they're another section of society I don't like, rather than just focusing on skangers.

    Skangers, grind em down to feed the pigs, ;)

    Start a thread on snobs as this one is about skangers.

    Change "Skanger" to "Jew" or "Catholic" - does it still look funny ?

    I have mornings when I get the papers wearing my tracksuit bottoms with t-shirt and I'm sure I fit the "profile". I have other mornings when I have the full suit and overcoat on. On one you'd hound me, on the next hand me your CV.

    when youre geting the paper in your tracksuit bottoms to you smash things up, abuse people and punch randommers in the face while making a general nuisance of yourself?

    the thread isnt about money, where you're from, how you dress or how you speak. its about how you act

    I don't want to (there's already a good one about snobby comments). If I were to I'd start one on my disdain for all anti-social and aggressive behaviour.

    The way I look at it is these 'skangers' are in every county in Ireland some moreso others less. The way i'd define a skanger is the little gangs that seem to have cropped up feckin' everyone, the younger ones usually on bikes these days and just intimidate the life out of you, throw rubbish where they like, don't move to let people pass, make smart arse comments at people etc. then there's the extended version where they go out to pubs just to fight and ruin everyones feckin night. I'm sick of it but what do you do about it? I wouldn't assume someone is a skanger just because they wear trackies and I would not associate all skangers with being poor. I'm poor as a jot and wear nobbly ol' trackies but i'm quite nice really :D There's a new generation of them now in Wicklow that come from well offish families but hang around in little groups and do everything I've described above, I just don't understand it to be honest.
