In the last 10 years, Germany has welcomed a lot of ill-behaved young men for no discernible reason, and along the way citizens have had the dubious privilege of discovering whole new categories of crime, says Eugyppius.

Are British Muslims trying to ban dogs? It's a rumour that's been swirling for years ? and it's true that in Iran hardliners occasionally moot the idea. But in this case the rumour seems to be false, says Steven Tucker.

Bobby preaches against 'Lazy Brain'
- a disease that seems infectious in society
Ciaron O'Reilly speaks about the power of non-violent resistance
Bobby asks, What is 'Terrorism'?
Is it just a poor man's war? or is war a rich man's terror?
A christian speaks about the 'evils' of homosexuality
Poetry/Rap, Irish style:
and just because you're on the dole, it doesn't mean you have to
sell your soul.

Time is ticking - tick, tock, ...tick tock...
- An Ejiit's Politics
- Another poet's thoughts about life
Michael Gallagher (Independent Socialist candidate for Dublin City Council) says 'Cherish All Children'
is all you need in any Constitution.
Rossa Ó Snodaigh debates the crowd about saving the Irish Language
Is there always a police presence to 'defend free speach'?
And do they have cameras?
Is Ciaron O'Reilly at all of them as well?
The Christian is described as "ranting". Perhaps he was but surely there is a narrow line between debating and ranting.
One mans debate is anothers rant?
ummm yeah, you're right - i changed that, thanks
I missed the second one couldn't get outta bed for a day and half after the long May daze march to police lines.
What the corner needs is 4 or 5 goups or individuals to make a 4-6 week commitment to be there/provide a speaker every week to give it a kickstart for it to take root. Hopefully groups organising around the referendum, Bush visit etc. will see it in their interest to use this forum to connect with folks in the streeet.
Probably needs 3-4 folks to guarantee that one of them will be there at kickoff time to get the boxes and signs out on time.
For the last few weeks it's relied on Rossa to be there on time to set up and I assume he will have gigs elsewhere at times & will be unavailable.
That there was three soapboxes going at once for a time on Sunday was a good sign.
Tourists are obviously interested (people are less uptight/ self-conscious/worried about being spotted by the neighbors when travelling). Meet intersesting foks had great chats with aan assylum seeker from Kurdistan (recently outta the war zone), Pakistani guy, A U.S. Vietnam Vet who did three tours and still believes it was the right thing to do after getting offa the box.
Dublin Catholic Worker crew are commited to be there weekly for the forseeable future.

Reaction to the "christian" was pretty much boredom and despair.
Unfortunately Hyde Park in London has become dominated by fundamentalists of every srtipe. But that is the fault of others abandoning the space.
