    "These dickheads just want to score points" are the words of somebody who doesn't have an argument.

    It's a self-commiseration at having being been comprehensively out-debated.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭tesla_newbie


    Apples and oranges and a completely contrived and bogus analogy



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,220 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    Ok but to me, and many others, it seemed like she was making a broad statement against all immigrants being bad. They are the backbone of Irish society these days doing all the horrible jobs no one else will do.

    Boards.ie doesn't see a problem with her tweet but many people do whether you like it or not.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭tesla_newbie


    You are making a big leap of assumption there as regards what Kellies motives were



  • Registered Users Posts: 68,842 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    I'm fully pro-immigrant. What gave you the idea I wasn't?


    Precisely how (please underline the words she used) dd she paint 'immigrants in general as a specific criminal problem'

    You are the lad who wants a protest at the jailing of a peadophile terrorist, the fact that you endorse people like Mark Wolf leaves you no standing in this debate at all.



  • Registered Users Posts: 194 ✭✭JohnnyFortune


    Quote the racist part of Kellies tweet? If you're gonna cry "wacism" show us the wacism.



  • Registered Users Posts: 194 ✭✭JohnnyFortune


    So quote the part where Kellie says that "all immigrants are bad and could be murderers". See, like I quoted you there.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,220 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    That's the jist us wokesters got from the tweet. Why do you think there's an issue at all?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭Snooker Loopy


    That's obviously arrant nonsense because you're supporting a tweet in which Kellie paints immigrants as a criminal problem.

    You're not pro-immigrant if you're doing that, you're anti-immigrant, you're supporting the targeting of immigrants as a criminal problem, when they are not.

    This is literally what fascists do. It's an essential part of fascism.

    So she didn't say it, you're projecting your own spin onto it. Finally you've admitted that she has not said it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭Snooker Loopy


    When somebody writes "wacism" it's a dead giveaway about exactly what they are.

    It also makes you sound like Jamie Bryson, but the actual content of all of your posts also does that.



  • Registered Users Posts: 281 ✭✭89897


    I said nothing of her motives, purely about the tweet. The tweet clearly equated immigrants with murder! "sacrificed at the alter of mass migration" is what the quoted tweet said. She said its believed to be the 12th girl murdered by immigrants and our leader need to listen.

    Someone is jumping to assumptions in what her motives were and its not me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 68,842 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Bull. You are just trying to winkle out of the question now.

    Where in the tweet was she racist.

    You have been asked by enough people now to point it out. but won't.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,182 ✭✭✭Jack Daw


    If that's the jist people got from the tweet maybe it means those people are idiots.

    Why does someone have to apologise for idiots misinterpreting their tweets.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,220 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    Yeah and people think she's an idiot for tweeting it. And here's us losers with nothing better to do than post nonsense on this site about some boxers stupid tweet. We need to get a life.



  • Registered Users Posts: 194 ✭✭JohnnyFortune


    It equates the 12 immigrant murderers with the 12 murders they've committed in the past year.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭Snooker Loopy


    What on earth are you talking about?

    You've been running with this flagrant lie for the whole day, as you try to deflect attention from the story, which is that a far right extremist has been convicted of possession of child porn and planning terrorism and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

    I think we can see what your attitude towards child porn and paedophilia in general is, and it's extremely worrying, as is the attitude towards paedophilia of the whole of the far right.

    Lads like you should probably have mandatory regular Garda checks on their hard drives carried out.



  • Registered Users Posts: 18,657 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    We already have such laws. I've no idea where the idea has come from that convicted murderers, rapists, serious assault cases, drug pushers, gang members etc will be granted asylum in Ireland. Those people will have their claim refused, as will anybody who is wanted as a suspect by Europol or Interpol.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Sports media are trying to mould sports people to have the exact same beliefs as they do. Nobody gives a hoot about what sports media are trying to project so they try to nudge sports people into projecting their own beliefs. If you don't play, they'll come for you.

    They did it at the World Cup when the players really were not arsed with the causes. They tried to do it in F1 and football to corner people who were not kneeling. They got rugby players kicked out of the sport for not sharing their opinions.

    They'll come for Katie Taylor when her career is right at the end and they have no use for her anymore.

    If you don't play their game, they'll come for you and your sponsors.

    Kellie Harrington's IQ may or may not be below average but like all good people she has an innate sense of what's right and what's wrong. On reading of the murder of a child in France she spontaneously re tweeted without a second thought for the woke brigade who seem to rule the air waves these days. She reached the pinnacle of her sport while these woke wasters hide behind their lap tops spewing out drivel - their only response to those who challenge them is to cancel as they can't stomach the truth.

    Our minister for justice stood up in the Dail some time ago and admitted that over 60% of illegal migrants turning up at the immigration desk at Dublin airport don't have any form of ID, having destroyed their passports etc. They even refuse to identify the airline they just disembarked and many more have false documents. Yet they demand refugee status, expect to be housed, avail of our medical services and all other services provided and paid for by us the tax payer. Surely it's not too much for an illegal migrant to identify him/her self and their country of origin ? What have they got to hide ? Are they rapists, murderers, pedophiles on the run ?? Is it just a matter of time before they commit some serious crimes here ?? How many crimes have they already committed ? Where did the child murderers in France fled to after committing their heinous crimes ?? How can the Garda or other official run a background check on a person who refuses to identify himself or his country of origin ?? Yet they are allowed to walk our streets as if they were citizens. They should be immediately locked up until their true identity is established. This by the way has nothing what so ever to do with racism it has everything to do with keeping our people safe. We have more than enough of home grown bad eggs with importing more.

    Yeah, let it die in CA, you'll never get a boxing debate out of it.

    Have we passed many murals or advertising hoardings with your good self on them?


    In much demand for interviews yourself?

    Perhaps you might notice you are posting on a boxing forum and Ms. Harrington has been one of the top ranked amateur boxers in this country for the past few years. Added to the fact that people who are in boxing clubs mix and train far more diverse range of kids than would be at your own sports.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,220 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    Well you quizzed me on my sports before and all I ever played was football/soccer which is probably the most diverse sport in Ireland at the moment.

    I have a spare ticket for Bohs V Rovers Friday week if you want to come along, we're the wokest club in Ireland.

    Boxing isn’t my sport, but saw this thread trending on the home page. Clicked in out of curiosity and sure enough, the same cohort of odd balls from Current Affairs are piling on to Kellie Harrington here.

    I could almost have named these posters before diving in, including one third rate agent provocateur, who apparently has so much time on his hands, that he s**t stirs threads of this nature across Boards, Reddit, and Twitter. Truly pathetic.

    As for Kellie, she handled the interview quite badly. However, that weasel was clearly attempting to stir up controversy. It’s all a storm in a tea cup that will fortunately pass very quickly and Kellie will rightly continue to be lauded for her exploits in the ring. Kellie is a person who has accomplished so much, as opposed to the useless individuals here and across other platforms, who have never achieved anything in their miserable lives, with the exception of spewing copious volumes of utter rubbish online.
