    Has this question some, even tangential or surreal connection to my post or are we having a nice game of non-sequitur now?

    You think it is wrong..so vote No.

    What point are you trying to make. You are rambling on since last night about old peoples homes. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I know many men of different ages and at times could be politically incorrect and they aren't arrogant enough to say I'm right and someone is wrong in that manner.
    Oh dear. Similar has been said a million times throughout this thread. Oh but they were on your side so I guess you didn't get all indignant about it for some reason...

    They are of a generation over 65 and from what I've gathered they will be voting NO actually. That is their right to vote. I'm not arrogant enough to say on any issue not just including this amendment that I'm right and someone else is wrong.

    Mary Lou is very good at this in fairness.

    I know. I think she's very good. Does this make me a Shinner?

    The leaders of Fianna Fáil & Sinn Fein are sitting right beside each other on TV3 right now. Micheal is fine but Mary-Lou sounds far more Taoiseach-esque to me.

    I have it the other way around. Martin is a superb debater and is really a pro lifer but he also knows where votes lie so its a difficult position for him.

    Mary Lou now trying to use mental health issues as a weapon HOW DARE YOU MARY LOU, is there no depth to which you will drop. DEFEND LIFE

    Well we've had plenty of the no side state mental health doesn't exist. Bit strange to now try to admit it exists

    Matt Cooper (like he was on the radio today) is far too biased a yes voter to be in charge of a debate on this issue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,569 ✭✭✭mugsymugsy


    Why no politicians from the no side. Where are the healy Rae's or Mattie McGrath?

    Declan ganley.... What is he doing on here!?!
    Absolute balderdash.

    Let him off, from the pasting he's getting from the two wiley campaigners in MM and ML he's an absolute gift to the Yes side.

    Id say Theresa is wondering "Where in the World would I like to be now....anywhere but here..."

    A misquote from another boards thread

    Don't cling to a lie just because you spent a long time making it up - hey Ronan you listening

    if steen could swing this her way she'll be in work til eternity as a lawyer, that's her angle..this is her "the people Vs big tobacco". what a thing to have on your CV eh!!! do you know who I am????:cool:

    I believe there is some family connection between Maria Steen and Teresa Lowe.
    There is a certain facial resemblance, I think. And they are both lawyers! :)

    Nobody can understand them - they get overly excited and speed up their speech and start shouting. They wouldn't be doing the No side any favours

    Oh dear. No side having a bit of a nightmare tonight. I'm really not sure how all this will sway the undecided to be honest but yeah. Jayney Mac.

    Mary Lou playing blinder here

    OMG, I'm so conflicted!!
    Don't think I ever agreed with Mary Lou before.
    She's doing a great job, getting facts in, very calm & collected.

    One eyed man in the kingdom of the blind

    Doubt anyone is watching much. Its tedious at this stage.

    Dunno what the point of having even one presenter, never mind 2

    You’re not a member of a party unless you’re a member of a party. It’s like trying to call someone a Democrat in the states, unless they’re a card-carrying member they’re probably just independent voters who tilt left

    Wouldn't say that. I think the no side is doing a lot better in this debate than the last (Ronan was and always will be a disaster).

    The Lowes are a largish family. Another is the founder of Pieta House.

    I feel like he'll be wearing a Yes sticker in the final segment..

    The laughable bit when they try to wheel out examples of who support No to try and make muck stick to the whole side... meanwhile they're cuddling up to Sinn Fein!

    The yes side principles go out the window to bring in abortion think about it.

    Mary Loony McDonald Regina Doherty Michael Martin Clare Daly Leo Varadkar Ruth Coppinger etc etc all in bed together.

    Where does there party allegiance lie?.

    Shows ya the farce of party politics

    Oh dear. You sound a bit triggered. Maybe stop obsessing over the feminists, you’re starting to sound like them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,763 ✭✭✭Sheeps


    If the 8th is repealed, can we abort Ronan Mullen first?
