That’s true. The problem is that incredible shifts totally unforeseen by the V2 generation occurred over the past 60 years, and many of the presumptions about modernity, the course modern society would take, and how people would respond, didn’t pan out.
@MelanieLatest@MelanieLatest yeah ok. While expanding settlements?
Israel has NEVER agreed to give the Palestinians a state COMPLETELY DECOUPLED FROM ISRAEL...
It has always been an offer for another occupation.
@ColmanOfGuaire@EMichaelJones1 I am fairly sure it was. Ulster prejudice marries well with a type of Anglophilia. Fond as I am of large bits of CSL. Great writer of literary criticism.
@Scullybones038 What we sow. Live amd learn is the best advice I can give you. Never let your good heart be exploited again. Firm and fair is the only way to help people.
@Scullybones038 Betrayal was always on the menu. I understand your Empathy but this was always the goal amd there is more to come. That's why we had to vote no. There is no limit to what they will do. Yes the pro lifers seem unreasonable until the play is made and its all laid bear. We reap
@LewisJonathanE Limerick also had a Soviet. It’s an odd place and not representative. I notice you aren’t talking about the celebrated Jewish mayors of Dublin and Cork. Ireland is not given now or ever to antisemitism.
This is a heartbreaking betrayal of women and the unborn by not only SF but also FF and FG.
We often regret decisions made in haste, whether its buying an item of clothing, an argument with a friend or loved one or the many hundreds of decisions each of us makes on an annual basis.
To pretend the three day wait isn't helpful to thousands of women is an outright lie.
Even women who do choose to go ahead with an abortion have had time to think it through.
Removing this safeguard is just more evidence this government doesn't care about the wellbeing of its citizens, I am disgusted with them.

@ColetteColfer I voted to Save the 8th. In 10 years, over 100,000 babies will have been killed, the number of lives estimated to have been saved by the 8th. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how people voted to kill little humans, you think this is the weird part, this is only beginning!
@ColetteColfer Abortion was never about care.its about killing babies. That's it. Of course people won't agree to that so they have to introduce it slowly over a long time. People's genuine compassion is exploited each generation until the goal is met.the hard liners are hard for a reason.
@fitzcavendish@AidanMcCourt Though it should also be pointed out that there’s little enough sign that those who bankrolled CJH got anything much for it. I honestly think CJH believed that he like O’Connell, Parnell, and numerous British politicians should receive testimonials for his able service:
@fitzcavendish@AidanMcCourt He was a narcissist with convictions ( not judicial ones). He believed in the nation, in its claims, and in the dignity of its culture and potential. He also was well aware he was more able than most other politicians and believed his talents deserved reward. Venal/flawed/ able.
@StanImmortal@marlichat7@textosmoontw How reasoned an argument you make, but... the Confederation of Irish lords led by Hugh O'Neill had repeatedly requested Spanish aid to eject Crown power from Ireland. Two armadas were redirected in 1596 and 97, with one finally arriving in 1601 at Kinsale https://t.co/Zjr2rowfBm
