Comments on: Shite driving in Dundalk http://shitedrivers.com/2007/07/20/shite-driving-in-dundalk/ Promoting good driving by exposing bad driving in Ireland Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:21:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: John Smith http://shitedrivers.com/2007/07/20/shite-driving-in-dundalk/comment-page-1/#comment-1178 John Smith Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:35:17 +0000 http://shitedrivers.com/index.php/2007/07/20/shite-driving-in-dundalk/#comment-1178 So what's wrong with people going to a track and wrecking their cars if they want to? Also, if there was a track, what makes you think they're open all night? Don't you think they'd have opening times? But maybe, yes we should ban everything in Ireland that isn't "Family Friendly". How dare we have activities going on that aren't "family oriented"? If they do it on a public road they are dickheads of course and they endanger their and everyone elses life. The same could be said about ralley drivers. Bunch of shifty boyracers that want to drive their cars like complete arseholes. Should not be allowed, there should not be any racetracks and having a rally on a public road is just luncay! It clearly encourages road races, souped up cars and other "morally questionable" behaviour, such as diffin' and donuts. Lock 'em up and throw away the key! Let's make Ireland the first country that only allows activites for families. Give everyone a Micra limited to 30 km/h, wrap everyone in bubblewrap and paint the country grey. Then hand me the cyanide and a loaded revolver to blow my brains out. So what’s wrong with people going to a track and wrecking their cars if they want to?

Tiff, you're entitled to your opinion AS I SAID - as I am, mine. Quote: <I>You see it as your way or no way.</I> WRONG! Our opinions just differ, that's all. You think drifting is a sport and a worthwhile past-time, I think the opposite is true. You think there should be an area in Dundalk dedicated to it. I disagree. I just don't bloody like "diffin'" and that's that. There you go. It's a simple difference of opinion but I honestly really don't care about the subject matter enough to get into a pointless drawn out debate on it. Once again, this ISN'T a discussion forum - it's a blog. I’m not ranting, I’m not nagging. Tiff, you’re entitled to your opinion AS I SAID – as I am, mine.

We pick something up that we don't personally like and set about "stamping it out". This in turn has only one result. The people concerned vow "to fight this attempt at our civil liberties to the end". So the stage is set for a battle to the end. The only people winning are solicitors, consultants and politicians who score brownie points of whatever side by pretending to be sympathetic. Everything has to be settled confrontational, one side is right, the other wrong. One day there will be a battle to the last man standing over whether cars should be green or red. Everyone else is wrong and should be locked up. It is this attitude of "We are right and everyone else can go to hell" that mostly pisses me off about modern day Ireland. Example 1: My neighbour has a moustache. I really don't like it and will devote my every living moment to outlaw facial hair on every person. I won't be able to sleep until everyone shaves off their beards and I will take it to Europe if I must! That's not disagreeing, that's being ignorant, intolerant, smallminded, petty and downright hostile. Example 2: My neighbour has a moustache. I really don't like it and sometimes when I see him I say "That is one hideous moustache, but if it makes you happy you can keep it, as long as it doesn't do donuts on my lawn". THAT'S disagreeing. Saying "I'm right and you are wrong" is just plain pigheadedness. I might disagree with what you're saying, but I will fight to my last breath for your right to say it!

Strangely enough, I’m apparently entitled to that opinion, as you are yours. Go figure.

Oh, and if you can’t post a comment on this site without being ignorant or insulting, you needn’t bother posting the comment as it may just be removed.

“get a drifting area open in Dundalk”
I’d rather not, thanks.

“P.S not everyone likes football,you need reminding of that.”
No, actually, I don’t.

“Hope you can do something for us.”
Why would I WANT to? Hope you can get a real hobby.

I wonder what way you would all react if you couldnt do something you enjoyed doing??? But it doesnt matter because all your needs seem to be catered for,so f**k the ones who like diffin,is that your selfish attitude,yea?

Some people are so narrow minded that they just dont want to think of it from our point of view, force them into liking football,that the answer yea, or just keep nagging to make yourselves feel better? By the way Niall,bad heading. Thats not "Shite driving" its diffin in a safe area.What id call shite driving is nosey know it alls too busy watching what other drivers are doing & not watching the road properly themselves............that could cause an unnessasary accident you know!!!
