For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Dismal MSM Reporting on Cyberbullying at Poshie Dublin School Fuels the Disease

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Tuesday January 10, 2006 20:13author by gay georiauthor email gg at bearla dot ie Report this post to the editors

Presenters emphasise the anonymity of the process (wrongly)

Anyone listening to RTE's Tubridy show this morning would have been gobsmacked to hear the "head mistress" of posh middle class girls school Alexandra's College in Dublin refer to a site where students can post hate messages about each other.

The site mentioned is hateboard.com, registered in Germany. Seems some 13 ands 14 year old girls were posting less than flattering comments about each other on the site. Of course, it's not the only site.

Worse was to come with today's RTE 5-7 Live, with the dismal presenter saying that cyberbullying was anonymous and therefore bullies can get away with it (I think we know better than that at Indymedia.ie).

God almighty, but here we have the MSM actually encouraging cyberbullying by giving the name of the site and offering a false opinion that it's a safe place to do yer bullying...

The issue of course is a serious one, but RTE can't be arsed to ask the real questions or explore the issue properly:

* Aren't they as bad by promoting this Ross O'Carroll-Kelly (ROCK) type activity?
* Why did they allow the "head mistress" to announce the name of the site?
* Why did they think it's anonymous to bully online, providing an incentive for would be bullies?
* How do you know you're being bullied unless you go and look it up? (I mean, if someone nicks your dinner money or gives u a dig you know about it).
* Finally, it's cyberspace. Leave censorship out of it. The parents of students of Alexandra College could well afford the legal means to prosecute. So, why is it a school issue unless St Alex's are concerned about being sued for providing the means to access the site? It's not clear from the article, if you listen, but were the comments being posted using St Alex computers (the school has a "head of IT" believe it or not)?

Finally, I looked up the site and here's what they consider bullying. Maybe it's slow newsday in MSM:

It is not St. Alexs- the school is called Alexandra College.

and just a silly storm in a tea-cup by the sounds of it.

[Off to hateboard now to see what nasty things my enemies have to say about me. Maybe I should register loveboard.com and set up an anti-hateboard site where you get to say nice things about people you like.]

this story is shit, stop listening to tubridy. Bullying is a power relationship and the best form of censorship is not visiting hateboards.
