markodaly wrote: » Eh, no they are not. The GFA is very clear on this. There is no default identity. This is where you go down the weird fetish of yours claiming kids and babies as Irish.... much like the RCC of old. Seems SF have a lot in common with the RCC actually.

As Irish as anyone else on the island

FrancieBrady wrote: » No different to what happens on FG FF threads. Nothing 'odd' about it and not odd enough to exploit somebody's sexuality which is no business of mine, but which you seem to have a problem with. Odd.
markodaly wrote: » See, this bit is correct and does not tally with.... this bit.... You have a funny old mind Francie if you think that conclusion is logical. :) There is no default identity mentioned in the GFA. One can choose their identity and by extension, one should not have an identity hoisted upon them.

McMurphy wrote: » Yes, but inferring they're mentioning him because of his sexual orientation is a bit odd tbh, my guess is they're talking about him because he is the leader of FG, and it's most likely going to be between the two who will be leading the next govt. The fact it is you that constantly brings up his sexuality, immediately followed by a sly underhanded insinuation that others have a problem with it is a bit weird tbh. Reminds me in the Ali-G sketch where he keeps asking the cops "is it cos I is black" tbh. You might wanna have a look at that, kind of weird tbh.

The island is Ireland, anyone born on it is Irish, they can identify as they please and many do. Many many people born in England have many many different identities. Don't let pandering or fear of insulting confuse you.

Other opposition parties have used the information available to them to form a position on which Level we should go to. SF aren't able to do so. Maybe David 'Free State Bastards' Cullinane is still pouring over the figures.

Mary-Lou was at it again on Newstalk earlier and the interviewer just gave up on getting her to say what she was in favour of. Roisin Shortall was nearly as bad, wanting checks at airports and ports which are useless when people can just come down from the North anytime.
