[QUOTE=City Gent;475703]
Your reply Citygent is not typical of a gent. If you had bothered to read Xagerates original point, he is largely agreeing with the bulk of the posts on this thread, secondly to dismiss his point because it is the minority is a very disturbing attitude. We are all members of some minority or other, posting on this site is a minority in itself, to dismiss opinions because they come from a minority as bollix is at best simplistic, and at worst bordering on rascist.
The reasons some people attacked Gardai in Dublin yesterday is because they could, nothing more nothing less, the reasons they want to are myriad and copied across cities througout the world. They are not necessarily patriotic sons of Erin or "scumbags" however it is not my place to spend days outlining the socio demograhic reasons trouble like this occurs. I do draw the line however at dismissing someones argument as bollix because it is a minority. That my friend is the type of attitude that has allowed some of the greatest atrocities of the past centuries to be perpetrated in the name of the majority.
Just thought I would share that, and I hope that we can all play fair and respectfully from here on in.
