    She has this on her fb
    love's me 7 beautiful kid's more than life

    Hmm ... not enough to steal €300+ worth of clothes and risk jail and so not seeing them for a time - more no ???

    Likely. Same with mafia and narcos.

    Catholicism really is a suitable religion for those types, as all you have to do is go to confession and the priest has to keep his mouth shut.

    Yes, prisoners too, always amazed the amount of prisoners that "find" Jesus while they are inside.

    Almost like they don't want to take responsibility :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Thanks. :)

    It's frustrating and upsetting what's allowed in this country - and I see red and get passionate when these horrible horrible accounts barge in to insult us and downplay what is frustrating is. They think they're such decent and morally superior folk when they just come across as extremely nasty, and callous towards people who actually need help.

    But that's a lot on the left for ya. Big part of why I've moved from the left to the centre. Sometimes right of centre.

    Who or what are your referring to, Bridget Mushy Viper? This post comes across to me across to me as a load of gobble-de-gook. Please explain or be more specific.

    This person is being victimized unfairly on this forum.

    So let's get this straight -- Margaret Cash can give interviews in the national media blaming the government and Dublin County Council for the fact that she has seven children and no house. She can appear outside the Dail ranting into a megaphone about how the government should resign. She can post on Facebook that she hopes the Taoiseach dies a painful death.

    But anyone who criticizes Margaret Cash's antics, or even suggests that she shouldn't have had seven children if she had no way to house, feed, and clothe them, is accused of victimizing her unfairly?

    In today's Ireland, there are many 28-year-olds who have finished school, gone to university, worked hard in demanding professional jobs, and are still in no position to afford a house or children of their own. The latest census showed that there are nearly 25,000 Irish people aged 25+ still living at home with their parents, presumably because many of them can't afford to move out.

    And yet the hard-pressed taxpayer is funding the irresponsible lifestyle choices of Margaret Cash and many others like her.

    That's why people are riled up. It's not about Margaret Cash as an individual. It's about the entitlement culture that she represents, and the "me, me, me" and "take, take, take" of it as she shouts and stamps her feet.

    Ah sure it was all for the kids

    “I don’t know what the shoplifting has to do with me being homeless, it is my private life.

    "I never said I was a saint or anything, far from it.

    “None of this has to do with the homeless crisis.

    “I feel like I’m being attacked for highlighting the homeless crisis. It’s all about me shoplifting, they are looking for the bad.

    The clothes were for the kids. I feel like I am being targeted. It is letting the Government off the hook.”

    https://www.thesun.ie/news/3274135/margaret-cash-saint-avoiding-jail-penneys/

    Of course she could afford €600 for a communion suit for her son and also whatever her daughters communion dress cost but I'm sure it was the gubbermints fault for not paying her enough that she was forced to steal from Penneys

    This kind of post is woefully dishonest.

    I may not be good at a lot of things but one thing I have an aptitude for is clear written communications. In fact it's how I make my living.

    What I said was perfectly clear. If you need more context, the preceding posts are there for all to see.

    Terrible waste of an intelligent post as VF is just going to bat it off with another nonsensical response.

    The woman's name is specified in the title of the thread. No indication as to what, according to you, she represents. A bit disingenuous on your part, don't you think, Rex Tasteless Gutter?

    As I've said earlier the title of the thread is very specific, relating to an offense that has been dealt with in the courts. That should be the end. IMO, everything that has been on here day after day, mentioning the lady's name is off topic. It is an excuse to be involved in the victimization of this woman, who is as entitled to her privacy as you or me. A lot of what is being said on this thread not only victimizes M. Cash, but attacks the community to which she belongs. Time to close the thread. Way overdue, in fact.

    I think it's SPOT ON TOPIC to be honest, the pennys stealing angle is part of a greater problem.

    Privacy? You have to be laughing a laugh or are on laughing gas. She has constantly been pushing herself into the public view, on social media and old media, nearly always looking for more "free" money and other "entitlements" paid for by the taxpayers of this country. Shrinking violet she is not.
    A lot of what is being said on this thread not only victimizes M. Cash, but attacks the community to which she belongs
    Victimises her? Are you bloody kidding me? She is a proven drain on Irish society and by her own words and actions too. And even with that "free" money and "entitlements", more than a scarily large section of Irish people who contribute to our society, she still can't stop the theft? Get off the cross on her behalf.
    Time to close the thread. Way overdue, in fact.
    Hate to break it to you Ted, but you're not on Facebook or Twitter now, you can't block things you don't like to hear. The fact you seem so sure your demands will be accommodated tells me much.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    She's talking about motherhood I would imagine.

    Hey mods, maybe we could satisfy the latest pedantry by changing the thread title to 'Maggie's Farm' or something like that.

    Or 'Human of certain gender, who hails from a minority ethnic background, rebels against large chain store in order to cloth her children'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,108 ✭✭✭KrustyUCC


    Don't like what's being discussed = then shut down the thread

    Margaret wouldn't have been in the public eye only for the stunt in the Garda Station

    In fact she had used the media years before that

    http://www.echo.ie/tallaght/article/no-solution-in-sight-with-ongoing-homeless-crisis

    She has kept herself in the public eye through social media, protests, being on the Niall Boylan show etc

    She won't stop using the media until she has her ' forever proper home'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,816 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain

    She will say her job is a mother.

    All may be perfectly clear to you in your head, Bridget Mushy Viper, but if you read the post I referred t, you'll find there is nothing specific in it, only a load of generalities that could refer to anyone or anything. I'm just referring to one post in particular. I shouldn't be expected to read back through all of your other posts in order to get the drift of what you're saying. If this post is an example of how you make your living ...... I'll say no more.

    He basically asked why did she have kids she can't afford!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,421 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I edited the thread tittle just so people know that discussion may go on here outside of the Penneys incident.
    Let's face it Margaret will stay in media until she gets a permanent home off the council!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,653 ✭✭✭✭Plumbthedepths

    My wife has been double jobbing for years so. I guess though we thought it best to pay for our own 'forever home'. Sometimes you feel like a mug for paying your way and having personal responsibility. Its a very simple concept can't afford to house kids don't have any until you can.

    I heard the interview Mags doesn't like straight questions. She gets all shouty and "gubbermint gubbermint" seems to be the only coherent thing that can picked out from verbal diatribe.
