Oppressed? Rrrrrrrreally?????

Is it just a coincidence that this
is popping up on Facebook just after the Star Bucks hysteria??
Other than the odd anecdotal yarn about some crank moaning about a crib in a hospital is there any genuine concern that ISIS are at the gate about to assasinate anyone eating a breakfast roll or , as we've been hearing since the 50's, De Athiests are trying to steal our Christmas?
Im atheist, drink too much, live on rashers and observe the 99% pagan festival recently rebranded as Christmas which bothers me about as much as Thursday being dedicated to Thor.
Do people just love to feel that granting equal rights to citizens of the state who differ to them is actually some major erosion of their own rights?

So. Am I missing something or are us "Christians :-) (We all are apparently) really under attack?

I don't understand the question,

But yea, I'd like a bacon sandwich please.

That has not made it onto my Facebook feed so far, which is a relief. Anything that suggests someone "**** off back home" is just bigoted garbage, unless it's a demand that the last stragglers leave your home when the house party is done. And not all Irish people eat bacon, not all Irish people drink alcohol, and not all Irish people are Christian.

Yup. Im with you there.
But my question less rantingly put is:
Is there any need for this?
Is our pig eating beer loving 'Christian' culture under any sort of threat?

Yes, it is a coincidence.

My favourite part is that the image was just stolen from a google image search and has a big dirty watermark on it.

Why would this have to do with Starbucks? Wasn't that silly red cup 'controversy'/non-story just in America?

The 'house party' is a metaphor for the Celtic Tiger, right? :pac:

Nope, there's no need for it, but that won't stop obnoxious fcuks fishing for validation on social media.

I wouldn't take any notice of it GB tbh.

(I don't know what that means...)

Its a fairly far ranging list of potential deportees though.
Do pioneers and kids taking the pledge have to move or is their Christianity mitigating factor?
I know a priest whos a vegetarian. Is he ok.?
As I said earlier. Im atheist but love beer, black pud and Christmas. Can I stay?

What starbucks hysteria ?

smash · 13-11-2015 11:30AM

Donald Trump made a hilarious comment recently that when he's elected to office there will be no more "Holidays" and that he's bringing Christmas back!

RDM_83 again · 13-11-2015 11:32AM

Obviously won't happen on a country wide basis but having lived in a majority conservative Islamic area of London for couple of months, it sucked, majority of pubs closed, hard to get pork bearly everything halal, old cinema that in a different area would have been turned into hipster wine bar or cafe was an Islamic study center (cant remember actual title). Loads of fully veiled women,you never ever saw gay couples there.
Basically it was everything that progressives hate but hey they weren't living there.
Turkish areas were meant to be alright though (AFAIK it was pakistani Afghan and Bangladeshi where I was)

Yep, it's a handful of confused semi literates with a few social media accounts and often a couple of burner accounts so they can be brave enough to say what they really mean. They juse about get organised enough to protest against the Islamification of Ireland in Clonskeagh and then need to request a gardai escort away from their own protests. It's hilarious really. If these are our saviours we're all f*cked. Luckily we need saviours in their minds only. Be nice to them though because it's been a tough few years for them with everyone else making progress. Sure, even the gays are allowed to marry now. They're effectively living behind enemy lines in Gomorrah.

This reminds me, I had my first taste of waffles at the weekend when I was in my friend's house. I tried them with bacon and maple syrup and I was very hesitant, I always thought the Americans were mad with their waffles and bacon and maple syrup. It turns out I was wrong, oh how I was wrong! Somehow this bizarre combination is a little piece of heaven, and I will never criticise the Americans for their wonderful waffle concoctions again.

I hear that. I thought they were off their heads with their steak-and-eggs for breakfast as well. Until... :eek:

Samaris · 13-11-2015 11:47AM

The woman that stormed out of her house to scream at us for putting a leaflet (Vote Yes) through her door and demanded that we remove this filth forthwith was definitely homegrown.

Can't be sure about the asshat that set a dog on me, but it was a predominately rich older Irish area that it happened in.

'Course, there is the argument that everyone hates leafleters!

I dunno about the nastiest but a few "new irish" randomers and the old reliables in the RC and the totally not RC Iona Institute locked arms to combat the horrors of something that had no potential at all to effect their lives and got told to **** off at the ballot.

Where were you in London that you couldn't find rashers by the way? I've lived all over East London and never had a problem finding them, and I eat enough of them to be concerned by the WHO warnings!

Yes, the less than 5% of the UK that is muslim is due to take over any day now. Maybe they'll give us the north back when they do because it's such a vanguard of Christianity.

Oppressed? Rrrrrrrreally?????
