He was saying how binge drinking can unfortunately occasionally lead to such cases.

Binge drinking doesn't lead to rape. Rape leads to rape. Some awful gob****es sitting in the judiciary.

Binge drinking is equal to divided by downing a pint?

These Random Act of Kindness videos are equally annoying , Fine do something nice , the most noble thing to do would be to NOT publicise and peer pressure other people into doing it.
and leading to situations like
"You only gave me 5€ , i saw a video where they got 100€"

It would be like banning brown envelopes to try and stop political corruption. Our politicians really don't have a clue!

So you think that we should just let it run and have more young people try dangerous alcohol stunts even after two young men have died.
Yea cus the poloticians are big spoil sports. Maybe if the videos are banned people wont be able to post then so they just wont make them. Ta da no more neck nominations. I thought after that guy dieing after drinking the pint of vodka and the bar man being brought up on charges of manslaughter that people here would have more cop on.

The man was simply leaving people know that he has seen a rise in cases involving too much alcohol and rape/homicide appearing before his bench from people with decent backgrounds. Its more of an opinion from him than that of a statistical analysis of the prevalence of such cases in recent years.

Drinking too much can do strange things to some people, complete extreme personality changes in cases, we have all witnessed out of character behaviour from someone who has drank too much.

Alcohol still doesn't justify it what they did. It just brings the scumbag out in them.

Hmmm, rather than from 'bad backgrounds'?

From the interview it sounded like he was saying they had no priors for any sort of violent or criminal behaviour, I think he said a few parking/speeding tickets were all they had.

No it doesn't justify it whatsoever, I think that you need to take personal responsibility for yourself with regards to consumption of alcohol and your actions that follow.

The judge was merely pointing out what has come before his bench recently.

I think you should teach yourself some things about how the internet works before coming up with such ideas.

yes, these people are responsible for their own actions, sensorship and banning everything won't solve anything so its pointless

no, they will just post them somewhere else or share them around some other way

doesn't work like that, the barman in question was found not guilty and rightly so, he should have never been prosecuted in the first place, thankfully though his case has decided that its the drinker who is responsible for their own actions.

So much jumping on bandwagons.
On one hand a 19 year old jumping in a car with drink on him and mowing someone down is a wreckless fecker and should be banged up.
On the otherhand the same 19 year jumping in a river/canal/ocean/pit of lava and killing himself is a poor victim of Facebook.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
How come da medja are presenting him as a poor kid who was tempted by the evils of social networking, rather than a legal adult who made a really really stupid and final choice?

Two entirely different scenarios, but both involving jumping, yet they elicit different responses. How ironic.

If this #RAKnomination takes off, the poor charity bosses can continue to enjoy salaries of €400k+ and pension packages worth €700k+.

From what I've seen on my FB feed, so far it's mostly people donating to some big name Irish charity (where the CEO's are on minimum €200k) and taking a screenshot of the online payment or something.

In fairness if someone started a campaign on FB that managed to increase the amount of drink driving there would be more of an outcry. He was completely responsible for his own death but without FB he might not have even thought of doing it.

Odds are he could have found another way without FB.

If these videos had not been started half the people that have subsequently made one probably would not have made one so yes facebook banning these kinds of stupid behaviour is the right thing regardless of how the internet works. The footfall to fb is huge so the videos get a massive audience thats why they should be banned by facebook so younger people will not start doing this. Peer pressure can be a dangerous thing if someone gets a public nomination they dont want to be the ones to back down and its on facebook so all their friends see it and it could lead to other things like cyber bullying.

What doesnt work like that that people have common sense. A man drops dead because he necks a pont of vodka. The bar man was vharged with manslaughter but found not guilty yet people think its smart to post videos basicly telling you you and you try and do better. Not many people these days will back down from something if dared to do it, and there is a sense of oneupmanship. Its wrong and everyone here knows it is it needs to stop or be stopped. Two deaths already whats wrong with you all. We are a nation of pi** heads.

So ban booze. It's the only way. If they find something else to get f*cked up on, ban that too.

The real answer is education and a bit of sense. No need to ban it cus then the country goes mad. How come every good friday the only dry day in this country every supermarket has crowds buying boxes and boxes of booze in every shape or form because the pubs close for a day. Its the wrong attitude to have and shows a stupid example to the next generations. God forbid that the we cant buy a bit of beer for 24 hours.
Why do people feel the need to drink to excess and be proud of it. Would you put " can neck a pint in under twenty seconds" or "i can hold a massive feed of beer" on your CV. Its nothing to be proud of.

Speak for yourself , I haven't had a drink in quite a while.
I disagree with censorship ,taking away peoples right to be Feking eejits and mollycoddling people who are prime candidates for the darwin awards. If you think you can down a pint of vodka good on ya , does me no harm , if you think you can set yourself on fire and run fast enough to put it out , again does me no harm. Let people do whatever they want to do , what gives you or anyone else the right really?

Getting your panties in a twist causing a clamp down on drinking , internet freedom and taking away the funniest and most creative videos i've seen on facebook since i've joined , that's not cool.

For the record, I completely agree with what you're saying. I think that we, as a nation, drink too much. Many claim that we are 'great drinkers', when what they really mean is that they drink until they throw up - and then drink some more. That, to me, is a sign of a bad drinker. I'm not too fond of our reputation around the world either tbh. I don't mind foreigners having a little laugh about us loving alcohol, but there have been times where it was borderline offensive.

Unfortunately, I don't think any amount of education is going to change it. I have been guilty of going overboard plenty of times, despite the fact that I like to think of myself as a fairly sensible person. It really is such a large part of our culture and lifestyle now. You might have better luck trying to get everybody to give up their cars in favour of horses and carts again.

I obviously have better friends , one of them re-enacted the old Guinness ad with the lad dancing around the pint. Quality stuff

edit: also just saw some lad downing a pint of beer in a bath full of rice crispies.

Ok so lets see if you have the same attitude if your son or daughter is the next for a neck nomination and they decide to get one up on their pal and end up doing themselves harm who is to blame your child or the person who you said ah leave them at it it does me no harm thats ok for a good grounded individual like you but to a young impressionable person it could do a lot of harm. Im all for letting people set themselves on fire if they want just dont be incorraging others to join you. I dont drink often either i normally do all the driving i dont want to see drink being banned either but daring someone to do this is stupid. I bet the guy who nominated that man in carlow who died feels on top of the world, dont you.
