Cork city could make a psychopath out of a saint.

Blackdwarf’s ultimate objective is not belittlement but improvement; an attempt, against the odds, at making some uncouth people see themselves as others see them.

It’s realised that criticism has a principled place in evolutionary betterment and, for most, a reasoned critique will suffice. But for others, morons and the like, civilly toned reprimands don’t sink in; instead dropping away like water off a duck.

The pachydermous skin of some people is quite good at resisting criticism; better, in a lot of cases, than a duck’s feathers are at repelling water.  

An un-exaggerated analogy:

If you were to look out your front window and see a tramp urinating on your rose bushes you’d exit pretty quickly and tell him where to go. You wouldn’t use sweetened tones to inform him what you thought of him and his manners, and as to where he should take himself. Your main objective would be that the dirty moron does not come near you, your home or garden again.

On the other hand if you were to either ignore or meekly reproach this individual he’d sense weakness and consequently might well take a liking to you and your abode; your front garden would become his toilet and place of rest, and you’d be forever cleaning up his urine, defecation and other litter.

To take this second approach you’d not only be letting yourself, partner and children down, but also denigrating your entire neighbourhood – being part of this social grouping means you’ve got to uphold the majority’s values.

But, oddly enough, you’d also be letting the tramp down because he’d come to view it as being acceptable to deposit his waste in any garden that suited him. And it probably wouldn’t be long before he’d meet a home owner who’d take a much harsher line than acerbically telling him off, and use instead chastisement involving a golf club, hockey stick or stool. And therefore a physically damaged tramp and perhaps a hitherto law abiding neighbour with a criminal conviction.

It would have been much better for you, your neighbours – and the tramp – if he had been strongly told in the first instance that he and his vile habits weren’t wanted in the area – basically taught what’s acceptable and what’s not.

This blog tells of extreme idiotic and dangerous conduct in a country that has a worldwide reputation for such – almost anywhere on this planet the word Irish concocts images of inanity. The reason that this reputation has endured in not because the world’s populace, upon reaching eighteen-years-of-age, suddenly decide, just for the hell of it, to gratuitously tarnish the Irish.

It’s more likely because they see, hear and read about stupid acts that constantly occur in Ireland, deeds of fatuity that are perpetrated by the Irish themselves, feats of ignorance that not only cost them their reputation but keep them financially downtrodden.

Blackdwarf is being cruel to be kind. Causing the stupid persons to take a look at themselves, admit their reputations are down there with gibbons, trying to make them realise that rather than being laughed with they’re being laughed at.
