    I hope, they won't quote Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'

    What does 'Mein Kampf' mean?

    A quote from Hitler probably won't be good but after their little sing song mocking the Germans, the tapes could reveal anything really.

    These fcuks should be hurt very badly and handicapped into some hospital beds and be forced do drink bed pans of their own piss.

    The fact, that the Germans don't feel mocked, should be punishment enough. They didn't get what they want on this occasion.

    I see noonan just wants this to all go away.


    Typical if this is the sentiment of the government you can see well what sort of investigation they are hoping for
    “I’ve no doubt at all it would influence public opinion in the countries that provide us with the funds that are needed for our bailout programme,” Noonan told reporters outside a meeting of EU finance ministers in Brussels.
    “We have put a lot of energy into restoring Ireland’s reputation – I hope it’s a passing phase and it doesn’t do permanent damage,” he said.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭italodisco


    yeah but when you've got his kinda cash money a 900k house aint exactly pushing it lol

    UUGGHHH has me so pissed that 80% of the public dont seem to have any clue or interest in this whole situation...

    If only we were as united and strong as the Brazillians


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 77 ✭✭jamesccp


    all of these lads must have left the country by now,there could be a lynching, a well deserved one at that

    You know the Irish people are amazing !

    I reckon in France or Italy these pigs would have been lynched by now .


    Instead they sit happy in the knowledge that they have a great pension , and the men on Kildare St will moan about it for a while and then we will all forget about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 77 ✭✭jamesccp


    its because the elite in this country are so small. all of the politicians, senior civil servants, barristers,judges, bankers ect. mix in the same small social circle. Thats why nothing will be done. They are all mates


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    Do people still use tapes??

    Not sure about your percentages, but, yeah, it looks like most don't give a fiddlers alright. But hey it's Wednesday. Some bars in the sticks will have a few regulars in as usual. The bigger places will have the usual student thing kicking off. (Students couldn't give a flying fook unless it impacts them as direct as a bullet. So they're all pissed, bored or getting laid.) along with those that choose Wednesday as the night to go on the rip. In most homes where employment is taken for granted, many may be already in bed after reading some obscure book. Others will be surfing the net and contributing absolute bull**** to some forum or other, because they feel safe in their obedient life and anyone who disagrees with them is just wrong loike! In homes where a job has been lost or hard to find, they may be around a table discussing their budget or telling a child what they can and can't have while they wonder why corporate Ireland has kicked the **** out of their lives.

    Overall, they are a mixture of situations, but united in the belief that someone else will sort out the ****. Sheep. Hillside. Shepard.

    It's just a figure of speech. Like my folks saying they're going to video a TV show, when they're actually going to SKY+ it. I had to go back to find some old phone call recordings at work a couple of years ago, as part of a legal dispute, and they're all recorded and kept on servers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,568 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    No charges will be brought about, Just all the charges the ordinary man has lumbered on him now by all the banks to pay for the mess,

    Disgusting.

    I doubt they're actually tapes. They'd have been digitally recorded.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭Conmaicne Mara


    Charges, nah, go with the German idea, sacks and sticks, each citizen of Ireland and Germany get's ten whacks each at a bagged executive, sounds good to me anyway.

    All the more reason for a revolution and to overturn the government. Get a new patch of people in and start from scratch with a second republic. The crowd that's currently running the show won't do it because they have too much to lose and are too busy shielding and protecting themselves and their cronies from a default. We identify the mistakes of the past, we learn from them and never, ever allow this sh1te with bad banks and pervert priests and any other corruption to ever happen again.

    Nah, it was 2008, not 1968. It'd just be boring audio files rather than reel-to-reel tapes :)

    Maybe we can make this a gathering event.

    What exactly do you mean? Endured as a result of what? The recession? The mess, left by bankers and bondholders?

    Everyone, I'm talking to, like family and friends, think, that the Irish as a nation should not suffer, because some fat cats made balls and neither the old, nor the new government gives a toss about that all.

    Yes. That's what I meant, thanks.
    It's good to know that the truth is being seen, particularly since so many of our own people think "We all partied" or "We're all to blame!"

    Speak for yourself! I've no intention of forgetting anything. Neither that FF gave the blanket guarantee, nor that FG/Labour ensured it couldn't be overturned, via their winding up of IBRC.
    Though I suspect that, if fraud is proven - there may yet be a case for overturning the bailout. I don't have sufficient knowledge of Corporate law to say, for sure, especially given the added complication of the IBRC windup, and Noonan's throwaway remark about "It's a lot more legal than what your lot did!" - or words to that effect!

    So,I'll go to the protest tomorrow, in spite of a busy schedule, and the time and expense involved in travelling from Donegal.

    I don't care who else attends. I'm not going because of what anyone else thinks.
    I'm going because I want justice for the Irish people, and their childen.
    The more people attend the protest, the more pressure will be put on the Government to be seen to be doing something, rather than waffling on about tribunals, that will achieve absolutely nothing, except to limit even further the information that we get.

    I'm sick of being expected to shut up and listen to the so-called "experts"!:mad:
    It's time the people stood up for themselves.
    Otherwise, we'll get another useless enquiry, which wont be acted on - and it will be business as usual for the shysters that have engaged in one of the biggest rip-offs, if not the biggest, this Country has ever been subjected to!
    And the only reason I question the size of the rip-off, is because we still don't know what mortgage defaults are going to cost!!!

    This debacle is just getting worse - and it's time to call "Stop!", imo.

    Amazing how these lads can just walk into another big job after fcuking-up the country.
    The "old boys" clubs are alive and well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 588 ✭✭✭cometogether


    Scumbags, but of course the government won't do a thing about it. Can you imagine the sort of s hit that these two could have on senior politicians?

    I'd say this is only the tip of the iceberg by the sounds of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,479 ✭✭✭Quandary


    This thing is just gonna drag out and after a couple of years it will dissolve into something where no one is held accountable.

    Sure just look at a certain former disgraced Taoiseach of ours. Extortionate tribunal finds he has lied yet he simply disagrees with the findings, claiming they are erroneous.

    Wouldn't it be great to be able to go to court, have your case torn to pieces, commit perjury and then just turn around and say "I disagree judge, see ya!!"

    The harsh hand of the law only applies to the little man here folks.
