Taken out of context and in isolation, the graffiti re the lack of respect for the law could be seen (as well as a lack of respect for the law of grammar) as a comment on the filth left behind by citizens. Can people respect law, and not respect it at the same time?

In Jesus defence argument he claimed to come to fulfil (the best promises) of the law not to break it. Even in the United States, there is a recognition by conservatives that good law breaking has led to good law making eg.the criminal dame of the Boston Tea Party, the property theft experienced slave holders, the breaking of seating arrangement laws by Rosa Parks.

The Irish system is a duplication of British law where people are subjects of the crown not citizens, so there is a lack of similar respect for the dynamic here & there. In the book of Daniel, Yaweh grafittis a wall. In 1916 the irish prolamation was slapped up on a wall without the expressed ok from the authorities (not sure if they were charged with the litter act before they were shot?)

Let's see what happens in the Four Courts over the next couple of weeks to the Pitstop Ploughshares?

Trócaire refused to go on the HMS ocean for a conference which was good. Not sure about the other Ngos?

My dad was invited onboard - he said there were about 20 NGO's there with him. Which included the one's from the North and a couple of English.
He said it was incredibly productive, but the Irish charities could never really use British ships to deliver supplies. A shame, they have to spend necessary amounts towards civilian cargo ships instead

So who exactly were the "20 NGOs" with your dad (He must be a big man that he had twenty NGOs with him - do you even know what the initials stand for?).

A shame, they have to spend necessary amounts towards civilian cargo ships instead. Do you have the slightest notion of the idiocy of that statement?
