Tbh, as a child I heard from various sources that Santa wasn’t real but I still believed in him because I wanted to. I just dismissed all those sources. It’s impossible to completely shield kids from sources that say he’s not real.

The towel is mean but something to be angry at or outraged by? Nah.

What sources do you let your kid's hang out with ?
Shame on you....

Santys real

Confession - I'm the oldest of six and I was the last one of us all who still believed in Santy.

If I had seen that towel I would have been really upset and confused haha, so I'm just standing up for the kids who were nerdy and soft in the head like I was.

It has nothing to do with religion nor transgenderism but have TK Maxx no cop on? It's a joke but it's not the store to have it in; too many children about for that. Leave the kids a bit of the magic for a few years. It doesn't warrant outrage just a roll of the eyes.

Actually that is not strictly true. Unicorns are being used to condition children towards Transgenderism and other nonsense:

If I handed out strawberry and black berry lolly pops with swastikas on them would you shout Nazi? They are only lollies?

When will TK Maxx be releasing their "Muhammad is fake and Unicorns are real" tea towel?

Are you mixing up god and Santa ?

To be fair though, it’s not an association that’s all that common, and certainly not one that Irish children would immediately make. It’s far more likely to be an association made by adults.

I’d simply have dismissed the tea-towel after reading the first line that suggests Santa isn’t real. Idiots, of course Santa is real. I wouldn’t even get down as far as the second line before I’d get a clip round the ear and told I can’t be brought anywhere :pac:

How do you make that out? I’ll admit I don’t know who the woman is, looked her up -

O'Doherty highlighted issues in the investigation into the 1985 death of Fr. Niall Molloy. Her work led to the reopening of that case. According to O'Doherty, the priest's murder 'exposed a cover up of staggering proportions involving several institutions of the State and the Catholic Church.'

Doesn’t appear as though she is particularly enamoured with defending religion?

Oh she is, have a look at her ramblings on fb, they and her followers lean to the religious right. Says no to any progressive issue that the populace has enacted by referenda. They also embrace any conspiracy going, especially vaccinations. Think of her like the wife of a certain Waters :P

Am I offended by “what’s written on a tea towel” as you put it? Nope, and I’m still not offended in the slightest now that I’m aware she is referring to the gender unicorn and how the unicorn as been co-opted as a symbol of the trans movement. Now that I am aware of the association though, it does beg the question as to why a group claiming that they are authentic either men or women would claim that something which is entirely imaginary would best represent their cause?

Thing is the unicorn has not been co-opted by the trans movement, its really a symbol for everyone. And they get upset by a Santa is Fake slogan on a tea towel as if Santa is solely a Christian symbol when nowadays its really a cultural symbol even embraced by atheists!

The lunatic fringe which is now lead by Gemma O'Doherty are offended at TK Maxx for selling a tea towel which says Santa is Fake and Unicorns are Real. It seems that the slogan offends the religious tradition of Xmas in their eyes

They don't understand their religion so. St Nicholas is religious. Santa Claus is definitely not religious and the church avoids any mention of the man in the red suit

I couldn't give a toss what some people try to link unicorns to. My grandchildren enjoy the childish innocence of playing with and reading about unicorns just like my children did.
The issue with the towel is the Santa reference.

As for your lollies: I wouldn't personally be shouting anything at you. And I don't see the comparison.

Have you got kids in school? I dont but I do have a nephew and he came home shout "Trump is a racist". I asked him what a racist was and he didnt know, I asked him Did he know Donald Trump recieved an Equality award with Al Sharpton and he didnt know. I asked him did he know that Donal Trump gave the job of designing Trump towers to a woman for the first time in history? He didnt know that. Teacher said it and it was true.

I know a grown woman living in the Burren, she believes in unicorn's.
She's sound out, call into her and she'll offer you tea and a scone.
If she asks do you want a spoon of honey in your tea, go for the honey with mushrooms added.

You'll actually see the unicorns on you drive home, along with the wish dragon from the neverending story.
And when you get home your house will have turned into a wardrobe...

You could easily have described me in the above paragraph, and I’ve already admitted I haven’t heard of her before now, perhaps because I don’t frequent Facebook and Twitter which are generally packed to the rafters with gormless idiots regardless of their ideological and political persuasions.

It’s not a symbol for everyone as this was the first I’d heard of the unicorn being a symbol for anyone who isn’t a child, and even for children it’s a mythical creature. I don’t imagine she is “upset”, but she is pointing out what she sees as the tea towel symbolises. It’s admittedly a bit of a stretch, and given I wouldn’t be caught dead shopping in TK Maxx anyway given it’s unique selling point is it’s abundance of cheap, poor quality clothing and household items, an item like this simply doesn’t appeal to me, nor am I offended by it’s existence, nor do I particularly care about Gemma O’ Dohertys opinion on the matter.

All jokes aside I do think femminazis, sjw's, snowflakes etc need to get professional help.
They're full of anger and definitely have a touch of borderline personality disorder.

A lot of femminists I know are narcissistic and full of ****.
I have female friends who can't stand femminists they think they're a shower of cee u next mairts

Fascinating. It may even be enlightening, if I could figure out what it has to do with the topic or the quoted post. But thank you for the effort.

Someone mentioned unicorns and santy
Have you read the whole thread.

Sorry if I offended you

Oh FFS it's a bloody tea towel. I don't know why GOD let's these stupid things bother her, too much time on her hands.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 01-12-2018 10:52PM

For once (and hopefully last) time I agree with Gemma O’Doherty and only because I have young children who are super excited by Christmas and I would have for anything (especially a stupid fcukin towel) to ruin that.

Not offended in the slightest; it would take a lot more to ever offend me. Yes, I've read it all but the quoted post didn't fit with your post. That's all. Relax.

At the risk of stating the obvious, but your nephew sounds like an idiot. I generally wouldn’t say that about any child, but I do make exceptions in some cases, particularly if my own child were ever to come out with something like the examples you’ve given above. I would expect them to know better. I make allowances for adults as their thinking is more rigid and many of them have forgegone their natural ability to think critically by the time they reach adulthood.

Calling someone's nephew is a bit lame to be honest, maybe you're an asshole for saying that to someone about their nephew....

I have absolutely no idea what that means (probably just as well

My tea towel has the ability to climb my stairs late at night and float around my room and fling offensive expletives at me.

It's a germ an new clear tea towel....

I'm only joking, I'm sure you're aware of that.

The lady who serves out the honey is one of those attractive leggy 50 year old ladies who let her hair grow out the silver, she's absolutely gorgeous actually...

That's why I call her the silver fox
She's foxy
