Bit harsh ha ha

Please god. At least the people of tallaght were sensible enough to only give her one term. Now if the other constituencies would follow suit with varadkar,harris et al

Presume they omitted the hiv bit while mentioning the pill

So gauche

Ah very sad

And again the fg bots just don't get it. Yes its a tiny story, not really worth mention, but it's just a total cluster time and time again. Someobev on boards had a great running post cataloguing all the FG Ff misfires that they covered up with arrogance over the last 5 years... from Bailey and Madi...

The thing is, for 80% of kids it's really a non issue. You support the other 20% as best as you can, but 5% out of that 20% will consume 80% of your time, and often their anger is misdirected at the school when it's society or its systems that they are railing against. School just happens to be the ...

I hate that schools are to be the battleground for this. As if they don't have enough to be dealing with, between teaching, bullying, obesity and wellbeing, CAO, sexuality, mental health etc

Its an interesting exhibition of differing arguing styles, should be made required watching for marriage (Gubu too..). Do you get offended and go after someone to make them hurt as much as you? Do you explain yourself and stand up for yourself with points when someone comes at you? Do you hide behin...

2 young males in a car, so you would presume an older man here, and not out?

Jake defo got the villain narrative from the producers but telling your gf who is insecure that you think her mates are attractive and your type is very much a bold move, let's see if it works out for him, Cotton. But there's 2 weeks to go and it was dying a death, they need needed some story to bri...

People have always been narcissistic, i mean Narcissus is a classical reference! Again shallow, these people are in their early 20s mostly, on a sun holiday - i remember what i was up to in Santa Ponsa all those years ago. I think those that get uptight about the show take it far more seriously than...

Online abuse is inexcusable, no matter who the victim is. I dont think the OP is advocating for abuse. However if an influencer brands themselves as a business,i do agree that that business is open to criticism as long as it's professionally grounded. If an influencer is slating a business for not ...

Id agree for the most part except with the quoted above. Men are objectified equally as much.…login to view the rest of this post

Really stupid question alert - do the contestants have sex on TV? They have done, yes. Not a requirement, but 20 something year old will do what they do best. Funnily enough the reaction on twitter with regards to the sex was disbelief, especially as they were all essentially in the room doing it a...

What I'm talking about though (not very well articulated) is what I think seems to be an online backlash. And in the form of equating homosexuality with paedophilia. Online is not representative of real life. If it was, society would be far more chaotic. In terms of equating with Paedophilia, again...

Braindead show and i occasionally watch it with Ms Cena. The success of the show is in the social aspect, the voting, the twitter watch a longs, the WhatsApp groups etc. No one is under any illusion that this is high brow entertainment, and so it should be treated as such. In terms of the complaints...

I think most people would agree that the world would probably be a better place without the advent of Twitter. In my opinion, what you gain in immediacy of news and info, you lose 5 times over in the level of discourse and communication it promotes. However, i have a particular pet peeve with regard...

I find the absolute dearth of female talent in the party to be hilarious for a party that likes to be so on trend with TikTok etc. Madigan was setting herself up to be a big wig until the Bailey debacle.

There is a lot of people who want fairer tax and better pay, conditions, social supports and public services but don't support all the woke nonsense of 100 genders and such. I don't mind the level of tax i pay at the moment, i just want a party who: Aren't clearly cronyist Will address childcare pr...

The thing that rely irke me is that i bring this all up with the wife and she just is weary of it all so much and at this stage doesn't care. Very much embodiment of the countrys mood,i don't think anything would ever be able to bring down a govt at this stage.

So Martin looks pathetic coming out of this, Coveney has been lowered to the same standard as the rest of them, and Leo is just solidifying himself as the biggest charalatan since Bertie. Was it worth it for Zappone to not have to pay flights to Ireland?

Justin Barret! Now obviously i dont want to see the far right get power, but i think the best thing for the country would be the main stream parties to get the shock of their lives and see Barret and his kind get a solid 5% of the vote, it would really light a fire under the FF/FG to get their act ...

I think I've run the gambit of established parties and i just can't do it anymore. Originallly FF and their soft touch approach to corporate governance and finance left the country in a hole. Labour seem to have renounced the voters who made them, going full blown identity politicing and raising tax...

The Journal, as per usual, circling the wagons. So predictable.
