Germany commissioner wants to humiliate Ireland officially!

    GERMANY’S EUROPEAN COMMISSIONER has lent his voice to demands that the national flags of all bailed-out European Union member states be flown at half-mast at EU buildings.

    Günther Oettinger told German media last Friday that the move would “be a big deterrent” to those countries – which he called “deficit sinners” – who cannot keep control of their financial affairs, though he admitted that it would “just be a symbol”.

    In other words, he wants to shame Ireland and stick our imposed shame on a pole so that others can see it.
    He wants to humilate us (and others) it looks like, to me! :mad:

    With all due respect to the rest of all good and better German people - this guy is an utter gobschite!
    If he wants to do something with an Irish flag pole - he should try shoving it up his ass! :mad:

    To be honest, they are probably paying for the flag and the flagpole...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    Ah to be honest Ireland doesn't need any help with humiliation.

    Just look at Jedward, Dustin in the Eurovision and our Government.

    I'd love for us just to leave the euro and have the whole thing ****ing collapse around them.

    I'd also be scared ****less at the same time. But how's never.

    Heres a proposal.


    All the flags of countries that tried to commit genocide should also be flown at half mast.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,027 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    We should do this only make the flagpole 2.1 times higher.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    We should change our flag to this, that'll soften his cough

    If Cunther follows through on his proposal, shouldn't his own country's flag be permanently at halfmast due to the shame they have brought on THE HUMAN RACE, after all, it'd just be a symbol, right?
    I wonder what would have happened to Germany if billions hadn't been pumped into the ****hole 60+ years ago??

    Grrr to German Commissioner ass*holes (although we had toothy McCreepey and Wiggy Flynn so glasshouses and all that...)

    Take it in context Biggins. We sent Charlie McCreevy to Europe, they send this guy.

    Take no notice.

    This guy is a joke in his own country,
    In a leaked diplomatic cable from the United States embassy cable entitled "Lame Duck German Governor Kicked Upstairs as New Energy Commissioner in Brussels," Deputy Chief of Mission in Germany, Greg Delawie notes that "Chancellor Angela Merkel nominated Baden-Wuerttemberg (BW) Minister President Guenther Oettinger as EU Energy Commissioner primarily to remove an unloved lame duck from an important CDU bastion." Before going on to claim "Oettinger is noted for a lackluster public speaking style, and some commentators have asserted that Merkel, who has often stood out at EU meetings, wanted to appoint a German Commissioner who would not outshine her."
    I wouldnt take any notice, he is not indicative of German people

    Was trying to think of way to say it, but you put it so eloquently :D And the username adds to it!!!!

    Rub his face in it and remind him that the ball never crossed the over the line in the 66 final ...

    I assume (partly 'cos I know some German people) that he's in a league of his own alright - possibly a breed apart as the saying goes.

    What can we expect really? He's possibly coming from a generation or background that is used to making and/or sticking symbols upon people for their own twisted ends!

    Sounds like a right ****.

    Bet ya his ma is filthier than Hitlers furnace cover though.

    You could expect more coming from a poster such as yourself.
