where all students ,No mammy and daddy don t may everybody to go live in dublin for 3 years. Mammy and daddy only pay for little brian to go live in dublin.
I take your point that man with the child as learnt alot but Why is the vast majority of the people in reclaim the streets students, What about all these other people that have learn t a lot and have been living in Dublin for years . (Now if u moved up to Dublin to go to college 3years ago that does not means years). Why are these people not out marching , dancing around the streets or getting full in the middle of baggot st. Coz there working or at home with there families . U fool.

This Luke can't even spell correctly.He wants everything to be the same.Reading shite tabloids and going to shite pubs,listening to shite radio stations that play the charts,and believing everything he is told.He is allowed this,it is his right to live this way.But when he sees kids acting different,his brain hurts.

So this is why he thinks the Guardai did a "good job" on May 6th.His bitter little view of people has made him decide it is a brave and noble act when young girls in their early twenties get battered by baton wielding thugs dressed up in blue.The innocent bystanders deserved to get battered also,and Corcoran is a brave and noble warrior who has no fear of walking the streets on his own after dark without a baton.

Luke,you can e mail me and we can meet in person and you can tell me why you think women deserve to get assaulted by gimps weighing at least 13 stone.You brave citzen.

Sunday was the first RTS i was at and i had a great day - spending most of it painting a white sheet with the help of many others - eventually at 9pm they closed down stephens green it still wasnt dry and we had to fold it up still wet!!! (quelle damage!)Its now in my room so if anyone wants to help me touch itup to restore it to its pre-folded up glory mail me and we'll meet up!

otherwise the only comments i would like to add is an open question.
If we want to make RTS bigger, and get as many different ages, races and people of different politics involved (Unify the struggle?) what message are we sending out to young children, old people and people from faraway cultures by pumping out repetitive beats? In a wonderful day of joy and expression it was my only concern - the monotonous techno beat didnt quite fit with the joyous expression of human spirit that was going on around me - I enjoyed the music in The Green later on when it was Live - the atmosphere was much warmer and more inclusive... I'm not saying get rid of the decks or the dance music.. I love to get down to the funky beat just as much as the next person... but if we are to question the entire automotive technological military industrial complex is it appropriate to be doing so with the kind of music that to my hearing sounds like it was made in a chemical factory?
What i'm saying is - repetitive beats are fine to point, but they get tedious if there isnt the sound of human passion in them.
That said, I give much respect to the work and commitment of all those involved in generating the energy that allowed me to have such a good day in the first place.

Please do not hesitate to disagree with me or agree as the case may be

Le grá agus síochain

Robaji
