Who is paying for Lord Mayors trip?

Brendan Bendar · 11-04-2018 06:59PM #1

I find this very strange, what has this to do with the SF LM of Dublin?

http://www.thejournal.ie/israel-palestine-dublin-lord-mayor-jerusalem-3948763-Apr2018/

Who is going and who is paying.

Hope this is the right forum to post.

Holy sh!t, I don't want to be mean but does that man have some sort of condition? He doesn't look right.

That's because he's left.

Should stick to cutting ribbons.

Given his alleged ‘concern’ about housing and health it’s a strange time to head out to Gaza.

I suppose a visit to Catalonia will be pencilled in for later

Colombia...anyone... good for birdwatching

So no answer to this then? Are we all going to pretend to not notice the elephant in the room? It looks like he may have fetal alcohol syndrome. The oddly shaped forehead and widely spaced eyes would be indicators of this.

Why does it matter what he looks like?

He obviously has some sort of deformity or a medical condition. If I got an answer we could move on but people's reluctance to discuss it is making me more curious.

So now we have your diagnosis what are we supposed to do with it? What does his appearance have to do with him going to Palestine? If he does have FAS (and I have no idea) he does seem to be well past being a fetus at this stage, and has coped successfully with it, whatever your opinion of his politics.

It's hard to tell what he looks like considering he's wearing a burka.

ChikiChiki · 12-04-2018 08:20AM

Pretty low in my opinion to comment on how someone looks and make assumptions about a "condition" anonymously on an internet forum.

The poster says they dont want to be mean but thats exactly what they are doing but worse with their weird persistence.

Why do you care?

Most people don’t, which is probably why no one knows what caused him to look like that. They don’t know why and don’t care why. I don’t understand why you do.

I've read literally hundreds of quips about President Trump's combover and his orange spray tan. Why don't we hear the same moral condemnation about that from you? Or is it only Shinners that are immune from it? Every day in the supermarket checkout line we see gossip magazines discussing which celebrity got breast enhancements, changed their hairstyle or got a nose job. People are naturally curious about these things. If you don't care that's fine. But you don't need to spam the thread telling us repeatedly about how you don't care.

Oh give over mate. You could look like a bulldog chewing nettles for all we know.

That may be so but (1) I'm not a public figure and (2) there is a difference between being ugly and having a medical condition. The Lord Mayor of Dublin seems to fall into the latter category. If readers think I'm poking fun at him they're wrong. I'm just curious as to what condition he has. It almost appears like a mild form of Down's Syndrome.

You should get a prize for the stupidest post of the day.

Donald Trump chooses to die his skin and hair. He chooses to have that haircut, or whatever the hell that is on his head.

People who get nose or boob jobs ditto. Their choice. It’s actually just fine to mock someone for choosing to look stupid.

It’s not fine to mock someone for something they were born with. I honestly can’t believe that needs to be said.

Fair point. At least you can acknowledge that the Lord Mayor was born with something. You've just admitted that he's not normal, for lack of a better word. I'm just asking what his condition is. If you don't know the answer don't feel obliged to reply.

What relevance does this have to the thread "Who is paying for Lord Mayors trip?"

You can't see the difference really??

1) he doesn’t.
2) attacking someone’s looks isn’t an argument.

Christ this thread is some meltdown in action. Who the **** cares what he looks like and why. Very rude to ask once, never mind ask persistently.

Is there something wrong with you that you were born with? Some sort of medical condition perhaps?

Could be autistic or on the spectrum, or could be a neurological condition like OCD or something. What is it thats specifically wrong with you Ameirecan??

To sum up, SF feels an obligation/affinity to Palestine due to their freedom fighter background and perceived similarities between the situation of Palestine/Israel and NI/UK.

Sinn Fein has a history of getting involved in struggles provided they are the correct ones.

Maybe he funded it himself with the help of Sinn Fein

It does appear that he may have a mild form of down syndrome from the photograph. Does anyone know the story with this? There's something off about going to Gaza, who are making these decisions for him?

kneemos · 12-04-2018 09:31AM

Being a shinner is his biggest problem.

I don’t feel obliged to reply. I feel free to reply.

For all you know, he was simply born ugly. I don’t get your fascination with it.

Discussing his appearance etc is highly inappropriate and a bit offensive.

I wouldn't necessarily call him ugly, just "different".

Offensive to who? I doubt the Lord Mayor is reading the thread and even if he was I'm simply asking a question. Unless you're one of those perpetually outraged bores who take offense on behalf of others.

Who is paying for Lord Mayors trip?
