Mrs Shuttleworth wrote: » The entire fallacy of "love" and "romance" is based initially on sex, and not on connections in any other way. Men sleep with women first then decide if they want to get to know them beyond that. Those who aren't very good at the "merry go round at the carnival" (to quote the defendants) get left behind. This case proves that quite probably they are better off.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » And what about women who speak of men they hook up in a similar fashion? Calling them fcukboys and how they'd ride them till they broke them etc etc. You really think talking crass about the opposite sex is something only men do? Give over. You'd swear women were all angels the way some go on.

It's very sad that you think using dehumanising and degrading language while talking about private sexual acts is in any way normal. It seems to be that people who behave like this believe that everybody behaves like this, as if they're living in a bubble. It's like people who do drugs and think everyone does drugs. No i associate with every day people I'm just not in denial how people speak The word bravado exists for a reason I honestly think you havent a clue what you are talking about, as clearly you have never met a young lad in your life Dont worry clearly there is a few like you who have lived a ridiculously sheltered life

His tweet was disgraceful and I hope he is taken for every penny he has. I also hope those that named the victim online are prosecuted also. The internet really brings out the worst in people.

For far too long it has been acceptable that you can say what you like about particular people, simply because the mob on Twitter and the media support what you are saying. O'Riordan tried to capitalize on Paddy Jackson's situation to get himself a few retweets and a few more supporters by jumping on the "bash the four men" bandwagon. I hope Paddy Jackson cleans him out. It's amazing. All the reports of this court case, and not one of them has mentioned the damage done to these guy's careers and lives. Blane McIlroy has lost two years of his life for purportedly showing somebody his penis. How is that justice??

He made some sort of bigoted distinction between class and tolerance of rape which was highlighted in the following article. Again, likely a symptom of Ireland's stellar ability to have barristers from a very limited socio-economic class.
Flipper22 wrote: » Again, Jackson did NOT send any crass or nasty messages. It was Mcilroy, and to a lesser extent Olding. The worst messages were from others in the group, not any of the four accused. He is completely right to consider action against anyone that is defaming him. Even the threat seems to have already led to a mass deletion of defamatory and moronic tweets. O riordan tweet was disgraceful.

But because the "WRONG" verdict was reached people have a meltdown and actually take to the streets despite having no information to prove them guilty? Is this actually happening? Am I taking crazy pills?
