    I'm not just some kid giving out because his iPhone got taken away from him or because daddy won't get him the latest console. What good will the HSE do? Social care seems to be just as bad as living with my parents from what I've heard. Plus college is only around the corner and I need mumsy and dadsy to pay for it.


    As Irish attitudes go, you're fitting right in :pac:

    Seriously though Angelo, obviously you haven't had the easiest start in life, and it's true, the HSE are unlikely to be able to offer you much in the way of assistance, so you're going to have to make a choice between your parents paying for college, and paying for college yourself.

    The first option means continued reliance on your parents, the second option means you have control over what you want to make of your own life.

    I came from a strict Roman Catholic upbringing myself (and many of my friends are also Roman Catholic immigrants from African countries), not unlike your own upbringing, so I made the decision to leave home at 16 and pay my own way through college and then university.

    I'm still Roman Catholic btw (attended mass this morning, then the Pentecostal service in the afternoon ;) ), but I'm just not as ehhh, "devout" (fundamentalist) as my parents were.

    I don't envy the situation you find yourself in now, and I certainly don't envy the choices you'll have to make, but I hope whichever choice you make, that it leads to something better for you.

    People mess up their own lives. Some people are hardwired to hatred. It's not religion it's the brain that twists it.

    O.P., you would probably get more helpful replies if you posted this in the Atheist and Agnostic sub-forum.

    Guys some of you should try being from an African background with strong Pentecostal beliefs. The beatings I've taken ohhhhh boy. Some of you may say sure just report to social services be grand....it's doesn't work like that all the time

    I get where youre coming from. I grew up with typically wishy washy irish catholic parents who gave up on their heathen son after a year or so of trying to force me to mass but i had friends with particularly rabid catholic parents who werent shy about beating the love of Christ into them.
    My wife is protestant by heritage and many of her school friends would be prod/COI/ etc and had a horrendous time growing up.

    This isn't wordplay. The rock could be funnier than you. But that's beside the point.

    I am unclear I don't have all the facts. But I have an idea. And if it's correct it makes you horrible. No wordplay changes that fact.

    Still unclear admittedly but there you go.

    but then again yours probably aren't mad crazy like mine so I suppose that's the reason you feel it's so simple.

    Just be grateful you don't have to go through the daily troubles of religious African life.
    I went through the daily religious Irish life of 7 decades ago, so please do not assume anything about the upbringing I had just to garner the response you want to hear. How on earth could I have to go through daily African life, be it religious or areligous?
    I'm out of here because I just can't be bothered any more with this.

    Why don't you say what you suspect instead of being all cryptic? :confused:
    You've also posted a few personal comments at the thread-starter (including "it has parents?" and an allusion to slavery to an African person; maybe I'm missing an obvious in-joke though) - isn't that against the rules?
    You're not exactly covering yourself in glory with that approach. Just say what concerns you because if we're being sold a pup here by Angelo, we deserve to know! :)

    I suspect the poster is totally disingenuous. I would never think the way you suggest as you are right it would be very wrong.

    My grandma and mother are both devout Catholics, and for years I was under the influence of the Catholic church, due to them pushing it down my throat, along with my primary school. Eventually I started to think for myself, and changed my ways. I stopped going to Mass altogether despite my mother constantly getting at me to go, I stopped giving a damn about religion, and for years now i've been very opinionated and vocal about the ways of various different religions. Either way, that's how far it goes with me.

    Kitty this thread was made for a general discussion of the topic. Any butt hurt you endured is entirely the reward of you patrolling your mouth without coherence of anything you said. Now I'm sorry if your feelings have been hurt but really you brought it upon yourself when you used the term "slave"

    It delights me to see a post such as this one! Wish you all the very best in life pal! An open mind is the way to go!
