Your own personal crusade

    Have you, or have you ever had your own personal crusade?

    Did you love( or hate) a politician so much you got too invested in their cause.

    Did you get on the abortion battle?

    Did you campaign against amazon because they dont treat their staff great?

    What was the crusade you got very invested in?

    Did you feel a bit sad when it got resolved because you had nothing to do?

    I know one fella who got really invested in soccer needing video assistant referee( not that soccer cared about what he had to say). He arrived after it was announced that it was happening to gloat to a bunch of us who didnt want it. ( we werent that bothered but he annoyed us with his rabbiting about it)

    He was visibly upset we didnt care all that much that he had won his crusade.

    He complains about Video assistant referee now whenever it makes a decision.

    Im expecting him to start an imaginary battle with us to have it banned soon enough.

    I was living abroad when the abortion referendum was going. To be quite honest I was quite glad to be 10000 km away from it. Haha.

    I don't have any personal crusade, I'm too busy with side projects. But one thing that does grind my gears is immigration/direct provision - we've no robust plan to handle the problems that's gonna come down the line with it. And everyone here is too afraid to talk about it, for the fear of being branded a racist.

    They are building a million hotel rooms right tis very moment at dublin port, with washing machines dishwashers and kitchens in each room. Best direct provision facilities in the world.

    Most of us are like that.
    We scupper ourselves at every possible opportunity.

    Cadbury Creme Eggs need to be their former size, bollocks to shrinkflation.

    Cadbury Creme Eggs need to be sold in packs of six not five.

    Cadbury Creme Eggs need to be made from Dairy Milk chocolate made from Irish milk and the old recipe using proper coca and coca butter and love (optional) not from leftover margarine or Ex-Soviet marine diesel residue.

    When I finally realised I was never going to be accepted as having anything worthy of offering by the village she-vixens who lunch, also known as the local school Parent's Group, I lost all hope of ever mounting successful personal crusades. I am a better, freer person for it.

    I'm vehemently against the modern version of feminism, antifa, the BLM organisation, and all that 98 billion genders bull****.

    Wouldn't call it my crusade but I do get drawn into conversations on those topics more often than I'd like.

    How very sad. RIP to your poor Mam, and condolences to you.

    Twelve years is a long time to be holding on to something as tragic as this. Do you think perhaps, your Mam might prefer you to get on and make a happier life for yourself. Would that be a better tribute to her memory? Rather than have the man you hold responsible as the centre of your life, for God knows how long?

    If you have children of your own, what would you want for them?

    I hope you find peace.

    Wouldn't consider it a crusade as such, but I'm very resistant to identity politics, virtue signallers, fourth wave feminism, and grand empty gestures like multiculturalism. I'd be against the superficial stance that a lot of people take on social issues.

    I'd guess my actual crusade is more focused on personal development, and a continuous growth mindset. Avoiding the rat race side of living, and exploring alternative options so that I can experience more of foreign cultures. Knocking out my own bad habits and keeping a close eye on them not returning. Since i'm hit and miss in this area, it's very much an ongoing and forever project.

    I swore one day I'll put up a post on boards so iconic it'll get the largest ever number of Likes.

    But this post probably isn't going to be it.

    That was a post from two weeks ago.

    I am on a mission to crush as many thanks-whores' dreams as long as possible.

    :D

    Ah, TED, you missed a trick there. You should have thanked Panthro's post ...:D
