"its a joke - deal with it."

Nobody said other wise. You 'full time' revolutionaries really should take chill pills now and then. Arguing with your shadow is not good for you.

there also was a tread on archeire.com but it was removed, as it was about a building in dublin, which is so off topic, ( hints to what shold be discused at archeire.com http://www.archiseek.com/content/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2875 ) this was posted at the same time and has survived.

http://www.archiseek.com/content/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2929
in true spirit of fostering debate, the moderator closed the post, so i could not respond to lies , thats right, only my posts were removed. the squat post ,the moderattor and other members replys were still there till just before i posted the freedom of speech message then the whole post was removed, so it could be said that the post was off topic, rather then censorship of my veiw as i didnt fall in with the archeire line of 'evict the smelly hippys.'

i apoligise in advance for making indymedia and extention of archeire and there concerns

by pc Fri Apr 09, 2004 19:00

i posted the article re the squat that was then closed down because

"Your comments was removed with the entire thread, as Archiseek is not going to become an extension of Indymedia and their concerns - you can take that to P45.net

If you don't like my editorial policies, tough.

i sent this pm to clerkin adking why

???
really i would like to know whats wrong with posting such a thread here, yes i was trying to get some publicity for the squatters but mostly information, and i though it was a _very_ relevant posting for this site as you discuss related issues all the time, i feel that theres more a dislike of our ideas then a lack of revelance and then you delete by concillatory posting, which i altough i posted to you i posted in the public forum purposely also, im really not trying to get your back up but i won't know use better in future if i don't get an answer from you

looking forward to a reply

-and indeed my posting has started a dicussion about empty buildings and their use -


i think the guy has a good deal of rights seeing as it his site and i had chosen not to go on about it cos in similar situations i found the more you protest the more defensive the person comes, seing the above person seperately to me has taken genuine grievance with his attitude i thought it needed explaination


arhiere is a deeply interesting site and among other sites i consider it along with indymedia.ie to be one of the sites that if you want to know whats happening in dublin you will read it....

but even though theres so much talk on it about demolition of protected buildings and specualtion, mention the politics and the wider issues behind it (from any angle ) and he deletes it... ?

a song was sung last night with the lyrics along the lines of "you can't save the world with ethical investment you have to get to the root of thing" now i don't agree with that as such i think some people would see worth in ethical investment and heh its start were not all going to be looking for a revolution but if people can't look at the widers issues behind things maybe they are lost ....

there is always the option of paying your way and renting a place to live like everyone else.

someone owns a building and they aren't socially responsible to put it to good use?

they are wasting a good opportunity to make a difference to the homeless situation in Dublin but I fail to see how a crowd of D2/4/6 wannabe-misfits making it into a clubhouse is going to achieve anything......

by erm Thu Oct 07, 2004 21:22

'wannabe misfits' make a difference by demonstrating the possibility, creating a functioning reality in which they are not entirely dependent on the legislations of the capitalist regime which restricts our right and ability to live for ourselves, empower ourselves, free ourselves. The use of an otherwise empty and deteriorating building for the pooling and sharing of resources, ideas and information, motivation, inspiration, empowerment and self belief is in every way gonna make a difference. we don't have to ask permission to live on this planet, we don't have to get permission to live. we don't have to blindly follow rules that demonstrably oppress us.

Yours for the low, low rental price of €10,000 a month - a snip, sure you'd practically be fucking mad not to rent the place.

Some other (before) pix at the link below if you're bothered.

Where is the second photograph from in the house, the long corridor??

by hmm - whatever you want - they're all a pile of shite (personality incapacitated) Tue Aug 28, 2007 20:01

That'd be the basement corridor.

The house is now just a single 4-bed. Very nice it is too, you only appreciate a building like that when its got its original dimensions back, instead of having an extra storey squeezed into it by turning it into a fucking chinese puzzle of ridiculous floor permutations.

How they think anyone will pay the €10k rent a month though is beyond me. My bet is that it will end up as an embassy.

Large companies often buy property like this for important employees transferring over from the States.
The price is right. Sure you're only a block away from the green. ;)
