I met a homeless Mother on the street

Not at all. I just don’t associate with bigots homophobes or whatever term you’d use to describe people who actively hate poor people and the homeless. I guess the main reason you see it here constantly is because they don’t have the courage to air these views in their social circles or workplace. If they have any. Which is doubtful.

I was harsh in my last reply to you tbh and I’m sorry for that, but honestly I detest any sort of identity politics. I associate with plenty of bigots, homophobes and plenty of people who have no fear of expressing their disdain for other people for whatever their reasons are. I don’t think they’re courageous, I regard them as full of shìt when they come out with shìt about other people.

There’s no shortage of young people who are unemployed who hate gay people for instance, no shortage of men who hate women and no shortage of women who hate men. I’d to laugh when one of my mates came out with “all men are bastards”, rolled my eye when another friend of mine we were in the club and she spotted a guy, “I’d rape him” she said. I’ve met no shortage of people who are bigoted against people who are religious, one parent demanding that the local clubhouse change it’s name because it was named after a saint. Me regarding her as a dopey bint doesn’t mean I hate all women.

I’ve seen plenty of it in the workplace too btw, because the workplace is some people’s social circle, I know one of the reasons I chose to work for my employer is because as a single father their employment policies are very family friendly and I’m offered plenty of flexibility. Make no mistake that tends to put some of my work colleagues noses out of joint, and they have no problem expressing their opinions either. It doesn’t take courage, it just takes feeling like expressing an opinion is no threat to your safety,

That’s the main reason you’ll see these opinions expressed on social media, because people feel no threat to their safety for expressing themselves. There were countless threads on things like abortion on here and people behaved like utter bellends expressing themselves, because they knew there was no threat to their safety.

I’d rather live in a society where I could tell who was or wasn’t a bellend, than live in a society where people felt they couldn’t express themselves for fear that they might offend someone else’s sensitivities.

This is a classic bait and switch thread.. Be more subtle ffs.

On abbey st making my way home from work during the week . She had 2 young boys both under 4 and pushing a pram while drinking coffee.

She approached me and asked me can she use my phone . She wasn’t any threat to steal it so it wasn’t a problem . She called out the number for me to dial and said she left her phone in the hotel ( I twigged that’s where she was living at the moment ).

I passed her my phone it was her partner she was calling . I noticed something wasn’t right she was slurring her words . I looked at the coffee cup and it was red wine inside . I looked under the pram and there was 2 bottles of wine there with other groceries . She was extremely drunk walking around town with her kids and was making her way to focus Ireland . She gave me back the phone to explain to her partner who I was as he was paranoid . After threats to kill me I hung up blocked his number and went home

Couldn’t stop thinking on way home . We’ve created a monster allowing people like this to have kids in order to get a social house quicker etc

However has the current crisis meant there has been a slow down in kids been born into this environment? Is this the only good thing to come from it ?

I feel guilty for even saying that . However them 2 boys have all the odds stacked against them from the very start

Excuse me I’m rambling now

Rich evil landlords to blame.

Not the consequence free everything for nothing welfare policy.

The heroin addicts on Amiens st often have kids with them. I always see heroin addicts walking around town with young kids. They haven't a hope, but what can you do? It's not like you need to get a licence to have kids.
