Understood signal to show that you disapprove of strikers?

Of course your thread is about public sector workers... has any other poster mentioned any other group of workers who are taking industrial action?
You could have at least changed the title of the thread to clearly identify your target!
That's up to them - I have no control over what other posters may or may not bring up.
My target? I think you are simply being paranoid now - and unfair.
Not to mention OT.
Firstly, you start a thread when many public sector groups either are currently considering or have voted for industrial action. You also indicate that you wish to take your anger out on various groups "in the not too distant future". ICTU are organising a mass demonstration next Saturday.
You then indicate that the public sector was not your target! Yeah, gimme a break.....
A very unhelpful contribution ......
There is a strike in progress for the last few months and I pass them on a regular basis. Even when it was hard frost and rain , there would be atleast 15 lads standing outside, even at 6.30 in the morning. I don't think much of unions but these hardy lads have slowly won my respect. They are private sector workers if that matters to some posters.
Is there any other group talking about industrial action? Probably tells it's own story
Dublin Bus are stiking soon are they not? This is not due to the Pension Levy but due to the manner in which some redundancies are being enforced. Should we "Throw Sharp Rocks" at these men/women many (260) of who will soon be without a job and without a redundancy payment.
What are you talking about? Are Dublin Bus a private sector company? Of course I have sympathy for the drivers who will lose their jobs. I also have sympathy with the other 100,000 or so workers in the past 12 months.
Dublin Bus seems to be implementing a last in first out system. Whats so immoral about that? The unions aren't even trying to protect jobs. They are simply trying to get massive pay outs for some workers (willing to hazzard a guess that those with strong union connections would be first in line).
Just can't understand the mentality of people wanting to strike. Why not organise a massive protest march or something for a Sunday if there is some sort of moral argument to be made.
Will the Dublin Bus drivers have sympathy for the unemployed people who can't make it to job interviews, unemployment offices, post offices etc when they are on strike?
I'm sorry you don't approve, but I was answering Caveats original question, not waffling off like you have done.
In case you havent read it, this was the OP's question : 'Understood signal to show that you disapprove of strikers'
My answer was to that.
Maybe you should in fact give me a break
YOBR, although there have been some tongue in cheek responses and a little digression, it was a genuine question.
If you don't want to answer, that's fine.
I do not advocate violence, or any other form of civil disobedience as a method of expressing disapproval, either to strikers or, indeed, anyone else. Obviously, you have no such objection.

Caveat, I have given my answer already.
So are you saying that your only answer to this question:
Is this?
If so, fair enough. How would I turn this into something I can physically say or enact in front of strikers then?
