spiritualtramp said:don't you realise its a bit close minded to assume that all "alternative" musicians have the same beliefs as you ?
Outside Croke Park yesterday, along with the usual "hats, scarves and headbands" in county colours, there were people selling Celtic jerseysnlgbbbblth said:people roaming the streets of Ireland wearing Celtic shirts

Go on Wexford
redflaremist said:...support independently promoted gigs and records above mainstream acts and MCD...
redflaremist said:...yes it is somewhat disheartening when you read comments from people involved in an alternative music scene slating the efforts, citing stuff like "the law" and other such bollocks as a reason for not attempting this in the first place.

Everyone's opinions are important:donnacha said:I'm not so conceited as to think that my opinions are so important
I agree with this.donnacha said:However, I think there are just as many people within the 'underground' or 'alternative' movements [musical or political] who are impressionable and easily led as in the 'mainstream'
You mean you can easily expose any arguments in favour of squatting as laughable? I doubt you, sir.donnacha said:I think it's ridiculous to try to defend squatting in someone else's building
egg_ said:I agree with this.
But it's very easy to dismiss those who are not with those who are, which is A Bad Thing. The existence of leftie fools doesn't mean that leftie-ism is foolish

Just worried that you were going to do a Kevin Myers - should have known better. Sorry. Totally agree with your main point about blind anti-mainstream-ism being as bad as its oppositedonnacha said:Ah now egg, don't go putting words in my mouth.
I never said leftie-ism was foolish, in fact quite the opposite.
Em ... didn't you?donnacha said:I also never called any argument in favour of squatting 'laughable'. Your words, not mine.
Are these two things not equivalent?donnacha said:I think it's ridiculous to try to defend squatting in someone else's building

Are these two things not equivalent?
I chose the word 'laughable' on account of the root of the word here http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ridiculous ... please forgive my intellectual show-offery, I didn't think I'd be called on to explain
Here's what I think:donnacha said:I still say that trying to assume ownership of something that clearly isn't yours is tantamount to theft.
It's something that I wouldn't do. Bad Karma.

If you own some of a limited, in-demand, resource (e.g. land) and aren't using it, then there should be a way of voiding your ownership. The notion of 'ownership' shouldn't get in the way of real people's real needs for the resource.
I realise there are laws that do allow the voiding of ownership, but, looking around Dublin, it seems that they're not strict/enforced enough. The only way that's going to change is pressure/action from the citizenry (e.g. squatting)

I have an old analogue synth that I haven't used in about 2 years, does that mean that it's now permissible for you to assume ownership of it?
