Seriously, the one thing I hate about this country is the petty criminals, burglars and other lowlifes making life difficult for everyone. I wish the Gardai would actively go after these people and make communities safer for everyone.

Thats hardly an unpopular opinion. However the fault lies in the stupidity and lack of civic mindedness of the electorate.

How else is it tolerated that hundreds of millions are spent on prime city centre land for prisons which never get built in the end but could be built out in the middle of the sticks for nothing ? Corruption and stupidity is everywhere.

That's not an unpopular opinion. THESE are unpopular opinions

I believe:

a) That we don't have a serious crime problem in this country;
b) That just because someone's committed a crime doesn't make them a subhuman "scumbag";
c) That the criminal justice system isn't failing because it's too soft or lenient;
d) That the criminal justice system isn't even that lenient in the first place;
e) That harsher punishment, like longer jail sentences, will make the problem worse, not better;
f) That people shouldn't put themselves at risk unnecessarily trying to take on burglars or thieves;
g) That the amount of bile directed towards "scumbags" and petty criminals in this country has more to do with snobbery than with the reality of the problem;
h) That the vast majority of people putting forward strong opinions on criminal justice have basically no clue what they're talking about.

I could go on....

This would lead to the collapse of society as we know it.

I remember reading the story of that vigilante guy in America who ended up getting shot and ending in a hospital.

Vigilantism only seems to work in comic books and films. Reality is much more crude and brutal.

ALMOST TWO-THIRDS of a group of intravenous drug-users have died in the 25 years since they enlisted in a unique medical study, research just published has found.

That's saved us a few quid.

New one.. The bush administration meant well, most governments do.. But we live in a complex world and must compromise. (playing up to the thread title a little)

Male tennis players deserve their higher prize money on the basis they play 5 set matches, equal pay for unequal work isn't fairness

Downlinz · 27-03-2012 12:40AM

The English Premier League has become an uninteresting pile of ****e in the past few years.

Yeah Yeah Yeah · 27-03-2012 12:43AM

Ireland needs a Margaret Thatcher to sort the corrupt inefficient mess out. And I loathe Thatcher, so I am constantly at odds with myself.

Female players have been lobbying to play 5 sets for years so that's a moot point

they've also been lobbying for equal pay for years and now they have it for 3 sets!

Not all babies are born innocent blank slates and a small percentage, no matter how many hugs and kisses or how much love and attention they are shown as a child will stop them from growing up to being total psychopaths as adults who do bad things.

I don't agree... I like that there's a few more teams giving the top lads a run for their money. Boring is the ****ty scotch league with two dominating forces and a bunch of school boy teams.

Sometimes a confident person who takes no **** can't see that they are in fact an overbearing bully.

Generally, young Irish people abroad are a ****ing disgrace to the country and no amount of ''we're Oirish, people love us for it'' will change that

The monetary system as we know it is currently failing. In 15 years time, barter and commodity based trading will be far more dominant than it is now. We havn't even began to see the horrible effects of the global recession which is going to get far far worse

Fulham certainly weren't one of those tonight. manchester united aren't even that good, yet theyve pwn'd that league for decades

eh, no.
If they were a confident person and giving someone sh*t then they're probably a bully. Not taking sh*t from people doesn't make you a bully.

I wasn't being literal. I meant that sometimes people who think they are confident and don't take sh!t from anyone, really can't see that actually they are jerks who walk all over people. Kinda like how people use "I tell it like it is" to be really rude and unnecessarily hurtful.
