    sorry, that doesn't exist anymore

    health and safety apparently.

    although i think there is one place you can get them (coolock i think ? )

    but then again i don't recommend any cinema food at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Saila


    you mean adopt them? how else would it matter!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    OP, I'm not sure if I'd be fully comfortable with the idea of you parenting any child tbh.

    OMG another "I'm not a racist but *insert race hatred topic*" thread.

    Dude we're *all* mixed race. If we weren't, there'd be no bio-diversity and we'd all end up looking like The Hills Have Eyes mutants.

    What does it matter to you if I have mixed race kids?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Saila


    then the question should be would you risk having a relationship with someone from a different race to yourself, because if you turned around after you found out you were having a kid, it would be pretty silly to say "oh Im not going to have mixed race children"

    their response would be "did you not think of the possibility that we would have mix race kids :confused:"

    :rolleyes:

    You're something to be proud of.

    I am just asking the question. I don't see why people need to be abusive. I have been polite to everyone. Please keep the abusive posts to yourself. I suggest maybe taking your frustrations out on a pillow or something.

    Edit: ****, I selected the wrong option. Should have chosen the third one. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,222 ✭✭✭robbie_998


    Robocop isn't racist.

    was robocop really a robot ?

    i mean he was a guy like with a brain but just in a metal body ?

    he did have memories and feeling and what not ?

    i'm actually gonna say he was a man, not robot.

    I think he was a cyborg. A fusion of man & machine.

    Those bastards at OCP didn't realise Murphy's memories as a man would come back to haunt him as a machine.

    I'd like a little black one or one of those asian ones with a mohawk that looks like it would kick your ass despite the fact it's a toddler.

    Well, if you think that. there probably isn't alot many people can do. No harm reading the replies on here though from an objective, open minded, opinion.

    Don't pass it on to your kids though. Let them form their own opinions.

    I wouldn't slay the OP as a racist just yet, people are entitled to have preferences.
    Some people wouldn't procreate with an overweight person or with someone of a certain height.

    The OP isn't hanging people from trees. All they need to do is not procreate with someone outside of their race, it's not really a problem for anyone.

    Well, she/he should just come right out and say it then.
