    Meh it's a typical David Quinn piece

    It's David Quinn, head of Iona.

    It's the Independent, tabloid with delusions of grandeur.

    There's nothing to be gained from reading him, other than possibly an ulcer.

    http://www.independent.ie/opinion/columnists/david-quinn/governments-rush-to-embrace-the-new-normal-downgrades-the-natural-family-31007253.html

    A piece from a journalist, the leaders of whose religion oversaw and covered up the beating, raping, killing, and tormenting of tens of thousands of Irish people. Then they ran to the lawyers to try to protect their assets.
    It escapes Quinn's comprehension that most gay couples have to actually plan on having a child-it's not born out of a 3 minute drunken ride at the back of the local night club, or on a drunken return from the pub on a Saturday night.
    I wonder how he classes the gay children of the "natural family"?
    Seems to me that the overwhelming majority of fcuked up kids and adults in society came from his much vaunted "natural family".
    Pull the blinkers off David....life's a banquet and most poor sons of bit*hes like you are starving.

    He's a complete and utter fcuktard whose views are totally at odds with modern Ireland. I'd ignore his ramblings best you can.

    David Quinn himself adopted two children from Vietnam.

    I have read so so so many articles in my life that when I read one with the phrase "poor joe public" around it - I simply switch off.

    David Quinn is not a journalist. This is not an article.


    It is an oped piece by a relic, somehow given time by the media. A relic who specialises in gibberish that somehow sounds reasonable to people paying no attention.
