More important things going on in Ireland to worry about.

Nobody here gives a toss I would imagine

And yet there was a thread started which you posted in.

Send her to the football stadium in New Orleans. Apparently that was "working quite well" for the sick and dying in 2005.

I'm sure the thousands of people who seeked refuge in the superdome would rather have been out in the flooded streets instead.

They probably would have preferred to have been helped, rescued, treated, rather that left to rot in a festering football stadium with no water or sanitation for days on end.

But your attitude to them is much like Barbara's. What was her quote again...."these people come from bad areas/circumstances so this is working quite well for them" as they wallow in filth and not allowed to leave because of mercenary thugs outside.

Yeah, man, they were thrilled to live in that cesspit with not a cot or blanket in sight and the toilets overflowing with urine and faeces. It was paradise.

It's hard to die no matter what age you are. In a lot of ways euthanasia would be kinder than watching someone waste away.

So you agree, they were better off indoors instead of drowning on the streets.

Don't play non-sequiturs with me mate. If a doctor bangs holes in your kid's head until he's slowly losing bodily powers, vision, etc are you going to accept the argument that "Do you agree that the kid is better off than having the measles?"

Don't give me that crap. You might do mutually exclusive binary arguments just for fun but I don't.

Some truly disgusting comments here mocking an elderly lady in her final days.

The type of degeneracy witnessed in their apparently beggared belief, things very quickly descended in savagery.

All that was being purchased on the emergency debit cards was alcohol tobacco and condoms.

Poor fckers in NY in 2012 are the ones who really got screwed.

That was hardly the fault of George W though.

a bit from an article about Nancy Reagans death, two years ago

When first ladies pass away, they typically don't get the pomp, ceremony and spectacle that their spouses receive.

There is no set protocol to mourn them. Instead, federal and local governments — including the sitting president — decide what's appropriate. And first ladies' funerals are generally private affairs,
[...]
flags on government and military property flown at half mast .. isn't always provided. It apparently wasn't done for Betty Ford, who died in 2011. It was done for Lady Bird Johnson in 2007, but not for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1994 or Pat Nixon in 1993. (Onassis and Nixon did get 30-day mourning periods at the White house, though.)

Not old enough to remember Bush Snr being president so first memory of her and him would have been the Simpsons.

At first glance I thought this was a comment on her having dementia.

I wouldn’t have been a huge fan of the late Mrs Bush as she was elitist, right wing and showed little empathy or compassion for those less privileged or wealthy than her and her family. But I would never be so disrespectful as to gloat over her death, and this is precisely what a supposed professor in a State University in California has done with very controversial tweets.

Jarrar has since locked her account after racist and anti-Semitic tweets were discovered.

"we are sooooo much cooler than Israelis, don't at me bitch."

Is that an example of a racist or anti-Semitic tweet?
