In response to some of the recent political events taking over discussion in after hours I am creating this thread for the time being. Essentially, if your thread ends up here, it means it does not belong in after hours. If more suited to other forums, where possible, these threads will be moved. If you have any questions…

I think the fields of athenry needs to be reworded for the current economic disaster which sees many Irish familys split apart as they are sent to botany bay for the clowns in Anglo stole trichets corn so they could get fatter

Any suggestions...?

If it's rewritten will I still have to listen to f*cking idiots singing it walking through town because they're unimaginative, ignorant arseholes who think it's hilarious to take photos of each other sh*tting on people's doorstep as they walk home from Copper Face Jack's?

The Fields of Athenry is probably one of the most widely sung tunes at soccer and rugby matches in Ireland, Scotland and England. Celtic fans sing it as do Irish Rugby supporters and more recently - Liverpool FC fans are now singing a version of it.

I don't think "The Fields of Mounting Debt" has the same ring to it!

A simple rare (in Irish terms) yes or no will suffice.

Should ireland bring in execution for all those corrupted, lying, greedy, bullies that brought the country into the ground - bertie ahern, FF and their gangster developer and banking mates. We could sell tickets for the execution events and could make a few billion.

No, but stocks would be nice for petty criminals.

I'm not joking about this.
6 hours having rotten fruit thrown at you in a public arena would be a nice deterrant.
Throw the guilty party into a town on the other side of the country, give those bearing rotten fruit masks, and then have them let rip.

Post the clip on youtube with the name of the criminal and their hometown as tags.
Let them be ridiculed by their peers.

Killing people is wrong though.

FG wishes to renegotiate the terms of the eu/imf bailout. How about we take it as it is in return for execution.

You cant execute someone for being bad at their job.

If there is evidence of a crime fair enough.
