Is there anything to substantiate this global cooling hypothesis?

Not sure which "hypothesis" this is, but in the very long term The Earth is in a relatively cool and stable phase, and can easily deal with much warmer or more extreme temperatures.

In the shorter term, like in the next few decades, if melting of arctic ice increases it will cause the Gulf Stream to slow, which in turn will make the North Atlantic colder.
So as far as the Irish are concerned, you can forget about global warming. Not gonna happen around here.

Jaysus, not very Christian of you!

Emasculation is a big thing in the bible, though maybe not self-emasculation - that's more of a modern thing.

Samuel verse 18...

David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

Gemma's latest video is from Greystones Co.Wicklow where a "catholic" primary school is introducing a transvestite school uniform policy for young kids. (scroll down in the link to see the video)

The Board of Management claim it is "gender neutral" but that is factually incorrect.
A unisex school track suit would be an actual "gender neutral" uniform.

The school itself is "transitioning" from a catholic school to a Progressive School for South Dublin Liberals under the patronage of Minister Simon Harris, the Patron Saint of Abortion and Any Liberal Cause.

Harris saved this same school 3 years ago from the elderly nuns, who were attempting to cash in some of the land it is built on.

'The board wishes to acknowledge the support of the Holy Faith Order and public representatives, in particular Minister Simon Harris, and look forward to their continued support in the future.'
In confirming that the Department of Education had completed the purchase of the convent lands last week, Minister Harris described the move as 'excellent news for the school' and something that 'will be very much welcomed by the whole community'.
'I now look forward to working with the school on plans for the building,' he said.

And its not just the school (although getting the kids early is best)
The Progressive One now appears to be trying to save the whole town from the rampant heterosexuality it enjoyed in the past.

Wouldn't tracksuit bottoms for girls be just as transvestite a policy as skirts for boys?

Maybe we should protect traditional Irish culture by restricting the boys to traditional kilts?

Eh..no. That would be a unisex policy.
Boys wearing a skirt is a transvestite policy.

I wouldn't agree with that, and neither would you

Besides, tracksuit bottoms are not trousers.

But... putting a girls school uniform on a boy is clearly a transvestite-friendly policy. It's not a "gender neutral" policy.

All that's gonna happen is that some boys who are full of confidence and popular will wear skirts just for the craic and to piss off the teachers and more luck to them. Barmy idea

Nice photo. Are those kids barefoot too? Going by the woolly jumpers, its not summertime either.

Maybe you think going to school barefoot nowadays would be a good idea?
Babies and small kids used to always wear dresses. It was a cost saving thing. Very young kids wore clothes handed down by older siblings, whether that was an older brother or a sister. Very poor kids kept doing it a bit longer, especially if they were the only boy in the family.
These boys look a bit too old for wearing girls clothes, but they are probably from a very poor family.

So you now recognise skirts for boys as an Irish tradition, right? Surely we need to protect these traditions from the hordes of invaders at the gate and nurture our own traditions? How exactly does a policy that allows boys to wear skirts have a negative impact for you?

Unisex clothing for the younger childer was also normal in Britain.
And probably around the rest of the world as well, I don't know exactly how widespread. How is this relevant?

Ebenezer Scrooge wore a night dress to bed, but he was not a transvestite, nor was he in any way confused about his own gender.
A nightie was unisex garment back then, just as a track suit is now.
Context is important.

So you're saying that clothing gender norms change over time?

recedite · 25-06-2019 9:04pm

They do. But there are always some garments that are considered to be unisex, and some that are strongly associated with a particular gender.

If a school goes even further, and has assigned a designated uniform to one gender, and a different uniform to the other gender, then its very plain that boys are supposed to wear one and girls wear the other.

If the school wishes to introduce a unisex uniform policy, comprising some unisex garment, I have no issue with that. That would be a gender neutral policy. Or they could drop the uniform altogether.

But as soon as you invite boys to wear the girls uniform you are going down the road of weirdness. No doubt the transvestites, transgenderists and miscellaneous other fetishists among us will applaud the move, but those of us with more sense will not.

I'd guess that small-minded people thought it was 'weird' when boys started wearing trousers.

But regardless, I'm still unclear as to what particular problem it causes for you if a school allows boys to wear skirts?

I doubt that counts as an official demographic in any statistical analysis.

Do you need someone to explain the difference between 'allowing' and 'encouraging' for you?

But either way, what impact does it have on you if parents do allow, or even encourage, their son to wear a skirt to school?

As others have asked, how does this impact on your life? Why does it matter to you or bother you what people choose to wear?

i'd say there is quite a strong correlation between racist fùckwits and those who do not want any boys to be allowed to wear skirts.

In the name of Allah, most compassionate and ever merciful, O mankind eat the Lawful and good things out of what is in the earth, like Brennans bread.

Gemma informs us Brennans Bread is Lawful, and officially Halal.

I see Al Quadri of the Blanchardstown mosque is on the act there, issuing the certs, which are only valid for one year at a time. Could be a nice little earner if enough food producers want to wave these holy texts at their customers.
And of course, they would not be bothered doing it if they didn't see one particular demographic growing faster than any other.

Gotta keep up with the customer base, no matter who they are.

IMO the issue is more that Irish companies now feel some kind of market pressure to fund Islamic certification programs.
Food companies such as Glanbia, Avonmore and Brennans are going to use a certain amount of meat and/or dairy products as ingredients.

Some folks like the chain of supply to be certified organic, some like it fair trade, and some like it Halal. The market decides which is best.
