    Gay's shouldn't be allowed to adopt because..."a child that has gay parents will more than likely turn out to be gay and if that keeps happening many years down the line there won't be one straight person around"

    He get's destroyed then delete's the thread.

    If gays in Ireland want the real, genuine Irish marriage experience; legalise gay marriage but ban gay divorce for a few decades. For that is the way of Ireland

    This was NOT on Facebook, but it was the real-life equivalent if ever I saw one.
    Driving along through a housing estate today and saw a woman standing in front of her parked car holding a big piece of cardboard which read:

    "BEEP FOR EX TO PAY MAINTINENCE NOW"

    Several cars beeped her, but it begs the question....what are beeps going to do?
    I thought it was like something you'd see on Facebook, only instead of "Like"s, it's "Beep"s.

    And so it begins...
    Now I think of it I can easily imagine social media spawning a generation who will need loud constant public support and validation in real life in everything they do or who'll think public shaming is appropriate and how you get things done.

    Maybe it's outside her ex's house and he works night shift so it's disturbing his sleep. It's genius if that's the case :D

    Which sounds harmless. But not to me...the fellow posting it still has to pay me for work done for him. The amount is less than a 55" tv.

    Who wants some stupid?
    some questions for those of you who believe in the widely-accepted idea of the heliocentric solar system, containing a spinning ball earth, hurtling through the vastness of space and insignificant among more planets than there are grains of sand on the beach:
    1. why is the horizon is always, always flat with the naked eye?
    2. why is there no feeling of the earth's movement at all? there is no sense of the changes in speed or path, however slight, that there are when you are in a car or a plane or otherwise moving.
    3. why do the constellations remain in constant relation to each other,
    and have done so for thousands of years?
    4. how does polaris, the north star, always remain perfectly aligned at
    the centre of the sky around which all the other stars rotate, if it is
    24 trillion miles away, and we are travelling at 600 billion miles an
    hour through the universe?
    5. why were the apollo moon landings faked, as all the other nasa/ outer
    space missions are?
    6. why is there no video of the real ball earth spinning in space? that
    would be pretty spectacular, wouldn't it?
    7. why are you not allowed to go and explore or even fly over the north
    or south 'poles' if you are not on 'official' business?
    8. why do the sun & the moon appear about the same size in the sky? is
    it really because one is 400 times bigger and 400 times further away, or
    is it because they are about the same size, and a lot nearer than we
    have been told?
    9. why do roads, railways, bridges etc. not take account of any
    curvature of the earth?
    10. why don't ships tilt away from you as they are departing over the curve of the earth?
    11. why can you not fly direct from south america to australia? why do
    you have to go via the middle east or asia, or always make a 'secret' fuel stop?
    12. why are there not thousands and thousands of pictures of the earth
    from all the satellites up there? why do we have the same few
    graphically-enhanced self-admitted composites from nasa all the time?
    13. and why are those photo (shop)s of earth perfectly round, when it is
    supposed to be an oblate spheroid, squashed and fat at the equator?
    14. how can water be curved? do you really think the pacific ocean is a
    big bulging ball of water, and if so, can you show video or even a photo
    of water behaving in this way?
    15. why you are so resistant to the idea that the earth might not be spinning, not be a globe, and actually be the centre of a universe that is a lot smaller and closer than we have been led to believe? does it feel like a religious view that you refuse to examine? how is this different to knowing about the new world order and false flags and chemtrails etc.?
    have a blessed day, whatever shape you think the place where we live is smile emoticon xxx

    He's probably buying on HP, over three or four years, so he can pay 2 or 3 times the cash cost of the TV in that period

    Just to make sure he'll never quite have enough funds to pay you what he owes.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,925 ✭✭✭RainyDay


    This one popped up to make everyone feel all warm and cheery
    In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State University .

    On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

    The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

    Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

    Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

    Probably wasn't the same ****ing elephant.

    This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bull**** stories.

    'Happy 2nd birthday to my best friend. Best 2yrs of my life, love you, Mammy'


    Right where to start, I love being a parent too. But my children are not my friends. It's my job to care for them. It's not their job to fill a friendship void in my life. And also I doubt your 2yr old is on FB. Tell your child not a bunch of randomers who couldn't give a toss.

    I also hate when someone posts stuff like
    "Happy Birthday Nanny, 20 years gone today, miss you so much".
    Not being cruel, but nobody on Facebook really cares.
    And your Nanny can't see your post.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,949 ✭✭✭✭IvyTheTerrible


    I know people posting suicide helpline numbers mean well, but there's a post being shared around for the last couple of years and it's a bloody american number. It's Irish people posting it, that will be no use to someone in crisis. I wish people would check. (I do always comment with an Irish number, but still).

    People don't check these things. I regularly see missing people posts being shared, but often for people who have been found, one way or another. A quick Google will tell you if the person is still missing, before you share it.

    You don't even have to Google, a quick check in the comments will normally tell you that they've been found..........in Melbourne, or somewhere equally far away from the person sharing the post.
