If I want to chop off my leg, I'm considered mentally insane and help will be on the way. However if I want to chop off my knob, I'm transgender. Now look, I don't want to upset anyone, so fully open to someone laying it on me and educating me. I think it is horrible how some people have been treated and I don't condone it. I like to see people happy and people helped where they need it, if they need it. I just fear that it's the wrong response here and I back the science. XX. XY.

Yet we welcome more and more foreign nationals to come to this country to join social housing lists and obtain social welfare. I have no issue with people coming to this country and contributing, but we are an utter joke at this point. Stop trying to make pals in the EU you morons, we do not have the resources to take these thousands of unskilled foreign nationals into the country and give them a home. We should and I expect will have to take a leaf out of Italys book sooner rather than later.

America at that time was a developing country that needed cheap labour. Ireland now, is not and does not.

They don't give a crap if you earn a million a year or are homeless. To a dog, an owner is the centre of their world.I feel sorry for those who haven't felt the warmth of a dogs love.

To a human in a civilised urban space a dog is a potentially fatal threat and a source of filth.

Do you think the Irish should have been turned away from America?

Stuff from the past such as the Laundries etc were there because our parents/grandparents thought they were the correct way to do things. The Church weren't armed - the Church had influence in these things because people gave it to them.

Hmm, guess it didn't know I'm not happy about dogs coming near me. The dog's psychic antenna for knowing when a happy human wants attention must have been down.

And the dog owners who allow it should have their noses rubbed in it.. daily...forever.that's... pretty warped tbh and imho indicates a severe lack of emotional maturity. People can be difficult to deal with, yes - that's what makes them worth dealing with. Unconditional "love" from a species too dumb to know the difference between sh1t and food is worthless.

To your second question, every EU country should take in a number established by the size of the country, how the economy/jobs market is doing, etc. It's what makes us Europe. It's what makes us better than the yanks across the sea. We preserve, we create, they destroy. If you want to use foolish, reductive and dismissive terminology like 'the libs' maybe emigrate yourself and go join them in the US.

A dog is just a stepford wife without the cooking and (hopefully) sex. You might as well have a robot follow you around all day saying "I LOVE YOU" in its synthetic voice. Somehow I don't think that would be too socially acceptable.
