    In Trump defence, China was trying to control the coronavirus narrative by suggestion the virus was spread by US army to China. Before that Trump was never used the term "Chinese Virus". I think he is trying to remind people the virus is originated from China, rather then being a racist. To be honest I don't find the term offensive, maybe a bit insensitive, or not too diplomatic. I am writing this as an ethic Chinese btw.

    Ah, here.

    not at all, the poster claims I have made multiple anti catholic posts on this thread.
    Thats why I asked him to show me....

    He is basing that claim on the haunty bread post, the 1 I did make.

    You do know 1 and 1 is 2? You've made others.

    This constant anti-religion band wagon that people love to jump on is bloody boring and annoying. The same people would be marveling at Buddhist shrines on their holidays and being respectful at Muslim sacred places

    I am not going to start something up just to express my opposition to Catholicism, but your sentence above is wide of the mark i would say.

    Most people who are not religious are just as abhorred by other religions as our indigenous one.

    My father was VERY far from a holy Joe but in his last year of sickness mass broadcast via a speaker relay system, like some sort of CB radio thingy, into his room at home, brought him great comfort. Just to feel connected and contemplative and quiet.

    This constant anti-religion band wagon that people love to jump on is bloody boring and annoying. The same people would be marveling at Buddhist shrines on their holidays and being respectful at Muslim sacred places, but for some reason they have a visceral hatred of what is on their door step. It is not just old people who get a bit of relief from religion, a fair few of my friends are religious in their own quiet ways. I do not attend their masses but it would never cross my mind to feel anything other than endearment for their spiritual convictions. This modern liberalism that is so tolerant of every goddamn kink, fetish and neurotic oddity in human nature is so bizarrely authoritarian when it comes to ordinary people's quiet faith and matters of conscience. Rack off.

    Yeah I don't care who worships who, I just think it shouldn't be on the national broadcaster. I think that's fair enough, I personally don't know any practicing Catholics.

    In solidarity with everyone who is losing their jobs, the teachers should go on the dole too. We cant afford to pay them. Makes sense, right? We are heading into the greatest economic depression.

    Would be kinda greedy of them to be getting the dole on top of their wages but I'm sure they'll be glad to hear you think so highly of them.

    Not hugely important in the current situation, but he didn't say that.
    He actually complimented Ireland in the context of being an alternative to China, for the supply of pharmaceutical and medical devices.
    "Ireland.... a tremendous producer pharmaceuticals..."

    Here's the youtube link to yesterday's press conference, the question is asked at 1:17:30,

    see the Joe Rogan interview with Michael Osterholm.
    The problem is with China producing so many drugs for Americans.

    Osterholm literally said - "what if the U.S. military were having their munitions produced by the Chinese. Folks would think that's crazy. It's the same with essential drugs"

    You've made about 4 posts on this thread, all anti Catholic. Get over yourself and try and think of the greater good.

    There's nothing worse than a bigoted 'liberal'.

    Now I made a post about the pointlessness of mass without the host, in a manner not to your liking.

    Where and when were the other anti-catholic posts you claim I made on this thread?

    If you are going to make a claim, and are asked to substantiate it.
    back it up!
    Or withdraw it

    They are like fcuk. So many completely secular politicians and celebrities can hardly wait to be wearing a scarf and looking pious in certain countries. There are loads of completely atheistic people with fascinations for secular forms of Zen and Yoga and whatnot, pranam-ing and muttering mantras like good-oh when given half a chance. People could just rack off their anti-Catholic neurosis when they hear the oul wans will have a mass on the telly. So fecking what.

    Could be counterproductive as people will reuse them and at times touch the spittle covered masks?

    I've found myself watching it a bit since all this started, usually don't. There'll be a lot of us at home a lot of the time now too so I reckon they'll get a spike in figures too.

    You personally don't know any practising Catholics? Interesting.

    Out of curiosity what age profile etc.

    Living in a Midlands town here and 75% of my 40 work colleagues, at least, practice. I mean weekly mass etc. Age group 24-60.

    Well personally there is a shed load of utter tripe that I reckon should never be let next nor near a national broadcaster like all those dancing and big brother and love island type shyte, but there ya go. As for the chubby painted wimmin sitting round every morning on the telly telling us the way things are, for fex ache.
