I guess our friend will be boycotting Mars and Nestle too !

LET ME POINT OUT ONE THING, IM NOT REPEAT NOT RACIST. BUT IM DEFENDING MY RIGHT TO BE A CHRISTIAN IN A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. IF I WANT TO WEAR MY CROSS I DO NOT WANT TO BE TOLD TO TAKE IT OFF AS IT MIGHT OFFEND. EVERYTHING IS DONE IN THIS COUNTRY AS TO NOT OFFEND MUSLIMS BELIEFS. BEEF AND PORK MEAT IS BEING REPLACED BY HALAL MEAT AS TO NOT OFFEND MUSLIMS. WE HAVE LOST OUR COUNTRY AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.. LIKE I SAID I AM NOT RACIST, BUT REALLY GETS ON MY WICK WHEN WE ARE TOLD WE HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO MUSLIMS WAY OF LIFE . WHEN THEY COME TO OUR COUNTRY,THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO LIFE IN A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SIDE WITH CHRISTIANS AND TO GO ABOUT OUR LIVES WITHOUT BEING PENALISED FOR BEING SUCH. WE SHOULD ALL LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY , BUT TO KEEP BRINGING ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS UP THAT MIGHT OFFEND IS REALLY GOING TO FAR

To the man who let her go, Thank you. Thank you for walking out of her life, for leaving her. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to love her, do things that would make her happy, to really keep her. Thank you for hurting her. If not, she wouldn’t have learned something valuable. I will try my best to not cause her pain, for it hurts me to see her cry. I will do all the things you failed to do for her like be there for her when she feels so alone, prioritize her and not make her feel like she is just an option, listen to her stories, rants and complaints no matter how bizarre or cliche they might be. Give her time and affection even when she is not asking for it. I will take care of the girl you failed to appreciate. I will love the girl you took for granted. I will do anything to keep her and make her stay. I will love her for all that she is, and will support her in anything that she wants to be. I will be the partner you failed to become for her. I will be the man who will never make the same mistake that you did. I will never let her go.

Caretaker Taoiseach Enda Kenny, today unveiled a memorial to the British Soliders, who heroically gave their lives during the 1916 rising. Mr Kenny thanked them for their bravery, which Mr Kenny said, had ensured to this day, that Sinn Fein, didn't get to govern this "great little country.
