    So? Still no deterrent. If having it pointed out in start terms that you could be f**king up your future prospects what will deter them?

    Maybe we should be drilling into them that the internet never forgets.

    I think massive fines and jail-time would be a deterrent to many, and for those who it does not deter, it will reduce their available funds or their freedom to do it again for again for a while. Fines can also be used to offset personal and property damage.

    It probably suits the Government to have students who are pissed all the time! :pac:

    It's often the case, and in modern society most likely case, that it's student-lead protests and movements that can create the biggest and most abrupt changes in political and social affairs.

    Right now, it's impossible that the student population could do what the student population have done, or are doing, in other, more sober societies, or have done in the past in Ireland.

    You are spot on here. Alcohol is a soother for the masses in Ireland. Would include the whole society and not just the students here.

    I think George Carlin said something about the US before. That the government doesn't want it's people to be high functioning\too intelligent. They want people who are smart enough to do jobs and make them money but not clever enough to realize how badly they are getting f**ked.

    Not insane at all. We don't want known troublemakers getting in here, so why should we expect somebody with public order offences to be allowed in elsewhere?

    What I mean is, it's insane that this is the biggest threat they can come up with. You have people using the city as their dumping ground and the biggest threat you can use is that if you keep it up you won't be able to leave...

    Why would it? First offence, out of character blah blah, €200 to the poor box and charges dropped.

    Thinking more about repeat as in you do sh1t in your teens, twenties and so on and the punishment remains minimal. Then for major crimes you see the likes of Barry getting a pittance compared to what he should get.
