    Jaysus - I said it grinds my gears and gave my reasons. People posting about how well their kids are doing in school annoys me. I have no hidden agenda here. Cabin fever got to you already?

    Your original objection was that it could upset/offend less fortunate parents, not that it's vomit inducing or annoying. What right have you or anyone else to force guilt on someone for something good that happened to them? I'd sooner defend a hundred slightly stupid but genuine and happy posts than one nasty/perpetually offended/"privilege checking" reply.

    Anyway that's way off topic so I'll leave it there.

    Ah come on - am I in the wrong thread? The title alone sets us all up for judging others surely. It's full of people annoyed at people being happy! I'm not forcing guilt on anyone - I'm saying it annoys me for those reasons, i'm not responding to her directly to tell her. Instead I'm saying it here like every other poster. I feel like I've really offended you :confused:

    She should be on Instagram rather than fb with that muck.

    You haven't offended me in the slightest, I'm just saying that your reply is a bigger "dumb status" candidate than the original post that you were responding to.

    There was a flurry of those types of posts floating around a while back, which is why I commented above.

    The one I remember most was a fairly innocuous one about someone spending the day baking with their mom (Americans) and getting a pretty mental reply saying they were selfish and inconsiderate posting because some people didn't have moms to bake with.

    If it's not your post, you don't have the right to impose guilt on someone else's perfectly reasonable happiness, whether or not their post is stupid.

    That's just the new craze of being offended by absolutely anything at all. They wake up looking to be outraged by something. It's becoming a horrible world to live in now.

    "When people say up the ra Brits out and then call themselves catholic😂😂😂, how do you think Catholics started in the first place the English 😂😂, the book of kells is proof of druid monks excited and weren't catholic English created Catholics and should be common sense prods religion was made by martin Luther to stop the priests from doing what they are doing 🤣 and not martin luther king! If you listened at school youd know he was a wise holy man! your whole lives are lies and can easily proof what i say, **** the parties i wouldn't even like an invite 🖕🏻"

    And not Martin Luther King, thanks for clearing that up.I was confused there for a minute :pac:

    Ah Firday. The day when the vikings traditionally cut branches from a fir tree and buggered Irish monks with them.

    Was this post a lie? Did this person not find someone dead in a public toilet? What sort of person would lie about that?

    I'm not sure of the details - it happened in Galway and it was a Galway city page that questioned/rejected his claim. Someone else said there'd been no mention of it in the local paper, and the OP said it hadn't been reported to Gardai - I'm not sure how he'd know that, although it appears he has a lot of dealings with them ;)

    He's Irish, yes. Although you'd be forgiven for doubting that English is his first language :D
    I don't know who pays his rent, I presume we all do.

    Makes me sick to my stomach the ignorance and lack of empathy here
    Most people wouldn’t have been able to access their social welfare payment due to post office being closed.
    Everybody saying “lack of respect”
    Explain to me how exactly people marginalised and **** on their entire lives are supposed to respect institutions and authorities and social contructs that haven’t give a remote **** about them since they were born.
    Most people born through no fault of their own as human beings in this universe into poverty, discrimination and stigmatization and actually - hate and repulsion and exclusion - and we expect them to “respect” our privileged positions. Get real. Most people in those positions have more authenticity and vulnerability than anyone commenting from their set of coping skills and environment that isn’t their doing, their merit, their achievement - just pure luck and circumstance
    Blessed to never have to live a life you’ll never understand or extend an iota of humanity to
    If you believe in god . Or spirituality or whatever. There but for the grace of god go i. Shameful, open your hearts and minds
    I’m delighted that those guys claimed that moment of empowerment and I hope you enjoyed it . You deserve it and I love you

    growing up in a poor family in a poor area is no excuse for looting shops and acting like a scumbag. why don't these wasters try to better themselves and get an education or start their own business. Most entrepreneurs are born to dirt poor families but find success by working hard and getting on with things, not feeling sorry for themselves and thinking the world owes they a living.

    Why would they when they have no interest in bettering themselves? Sure it's far easier to turn to crime, than work hard for what they want. Dirty useless cnuts!
