It's people like you that are a growing stain on the reputation of the Irish people.

Really?

People like my Wife & I who pay our taxes & do everything the right way.

We're ambitious & want our kids to do better than we did.

Go ahead! See how far you'll get!

How do you make that out?

I'd be like a bitch, I would. It's hard enough to keep my head up amongst my daycent, golf-playing neighbours as a single parent born in Nigeria!

Travellers are a minority that were once oppressed, deprived and vulnerable. If folk like you have your way, they will be once again.

Reported....for failing to live in the real world.

Some people don't like to hear the truth about certain sections of society with minority status. They would rather live in a make-believe world and imagine that minority automatically equals oppressed, deprived, vulnerable. Travelers have earned their reputation and their utter disrespect for others is very obvious.

Would you mind if a bunch of travelers moved into the house next door to you?. I'd say you would.

I got one of them with road rage before. He got in front of me. got out and gave me 3 punchs to the face. Chipped mt tooth so bad he left a stain from his blue ring on my tooth. fractured my nose and busted my lip. Got reg but sure wouldn't ya know it was registered to halting site in wicklow but it was registered to the guys sister so no charges were brought forth cause they didnt have updated photos of them all :mad:

Sure one photo would do

I need serious help and I don't know what to do. For the last few weeks travellers have been coming to my door begging to buy my Miniature Jack Russell. I keep refusing as my dog is not for sale. Today I looked out my back window and saw two of them hopping out of my back garden, I ran out and my dog is missing.
I rang to guardi and told them everything but once I mentioned Travellers they didn't seem interested, what do I do?

No such thing as a miniature Jack Russell, it must have been cross-bred with something else...fashion handbag dogs. Still really sorry to see it happen, just don't encourage this market.

Absolutely right!

Why oh why are people making excuses for them at this stage???

It's plain to see that they're parasites on this nation & on others, Dale Farm comes to mind.

Along with IRA types, they're the biggest stain on the reputation of Irish people abroad!:mad:

It makes me very angry to see these types multiply whilst a lot of hard working people here can hardly afford to have a 2nd or 3rd child.

If I had my way the lot of them would be dealt with Hitler style.

I don't care if I'm banned for this post BTW, but the real truth needs to be told!

Not how it works at all.

Breed small dogs off small dogs, keep it that way and you'll get yourself a line of small dogs - see, magic

I've a staffordshire bull terrier and a pitbull - I like taller Staffies, most of my mates do too.. We don't like the little show Staff's which look like Jack Russell's on steroids - so we get our dogs from breeders who breed tall staffs!.

Its not rocket science.

spank_inferno · 25-12-2011 11:22PM

the last dog my family owned was back in 89' stolen by the tinkers.

My parents have been unwilling to get another dog since.
Our little guy most likely met a poor end being used to "blood" a fighting dog.

I was 4 but I'll never forget our old Ben.
& I always have and always will hope those that took him die roaring.

They have the same rights as every one else, I don't like to see anyone oppressed, deprived and vulnerable. As it stands their wholesale lack of respect for other people and the amount of crime they commit means that they are unpopular, to say the least. They will remain unpopular until they, as a group try to clean up their act.

BTW, you still haven't answered my question... Would you mind if a bunch of travelers moved into the house beside yours?.

franklyon · 25-12-2011 11:25PM

OP has 1 other post, this is it...

dont want xtra vision to close down. for years ive been using them to get cheap ps3 games and blu rays. it's dead easy to rent this stuff on other peoples accounts and never return it. 90% of the time you don't get asked for ID and if they do you just cause a fuss until they give you the games. I have saved a fortune on buying games and blu rays this way so i really hope they don't close down because I don't want to go back to paying full price for them

Karma is a bitch ain't it.

A GPS chip would solve your problem. There are many reputable vets that will install a chip for you, and they are quite popular these days.

With the chip installed you'll be able to monitor their exact whereabouts and indeed tell the gardai if they come round your house asking about your dogs again.

Just the thought of loosing a dog to someone that would use the poor thing in a fight is an incentive for GPS.

Father Damo · 25-12-2011 11:27PM

Im more suprised they offered to buy it before actually stealing it tbh.

Anyone who blanketly decides to defend the vast majority of travellers deserves to be robbed tbh. Dont forget at the height of the Celtic Tiger near on 90% of these people were out of work.

I had some of the same prejudices that some posters here seem to be burdened by until I lived with some Traveller families (minus their menfolk which makes a difference I suppose). I discovered that they were human, strangely enough.

It would depend on the traveller family that moved in next door to me in much the same way that I've great neighbours and horrendous neighbours. Some of the worst were the supposedly well born, well educated ones.

Aye, let them in & they'll be looking in every shed, every window of your house to see what they can rob later.,

DO NOT LET THEM IN! IF YOU DO YOU'RE A FOOL.

BE WARNED!

Anybody showing symphaty to 'the poor people' is deluded & a fool.

Give them no quarter.

NEVER EVER ENTERTAIN THEM!

TRUST ME!

MY PARENTS DID & UNHAPPILY LIVED TO TELL THE TALE.

NEVER NEVER TRUST A TRAVELLER.

THEY ARE TROUBLE.

DON'T LISTEN TO LIBERALS.

THEY ARE TROUBLE, FULL STOP!!!!!!!!!!

PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!!!

Fair dues to you but I pity children who have a father/mother (depending on which you are) who would like to see Travellers worked and put to death in forced labour camps.

I would have thought that the vast majority of settled people are emotionally attached to their dogs. Going around asking people if their dogs are for sale seems utterly pointless to me.

Yep I agree it's not rocket science but just pointing out there is no breed exists that is a Miniature Jack Russell. Yes there are ones with shorter legs or runts that are bred with other runts from a litter but the idea that there are 'teacup' or 'miniature' ones is not correct.

The reputation of the Irish as a friendly, welcoming people getting chiselled away bit by bit abroad. Not so confusing.

And the vast majority of people can climb ladders and clean their own gutter's, doesn't stop John-Paul annoying the bollox out of me about my gutters every few weeks.

Thats because they wont use their own dogs for the purpose of blood sports or selling. Its much easier to break someones heart stealing theirs.

Your gonna dig in your heals on this, but I'll say this none the less.. The IKC doesn't recognize 'miniature' or 'teacup' as a specific breed - doesn't mean there are not small terriers about.

Whether you or I agree or disagree with their breeding or not isn't the point - for the record I hate these little teacup dog's which was a fashion accessory during our boom times.

There ya go.. Now traveler's - ya don't see too many miniature of those :P

Oranage2 · 25-12-2011 11:43PM

I think people are slating Travelers because of ignorance. Travellers have a rich culture and ancient traditions. What sometimes appears to be animal abuse is actually a strong bond with an animal us settled folk could never have. Only because of this bond and respect can get the most out of the animal, fascinating people very similar to native Americans.
