Still Waters No Longer Running, Derp.

The problem with Waters is that he is a narcissist, he mixes up his opinion with fact. He somehow thinks that just because he believes something, then that makes it true.

B-b-but only atheists can be narcisstic! They're so self-centred in their belief that this world wasn't created for us!

Ye asked for it! Accept the suffering I have bestowed upon ye. It's an imaginary dialogue this week. Think this may be a sign of Water's officially losing mind. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/the-taoiseach-the-psychiatrist-and-the-pandora-s-box-syndrome-1.1445365

I've been starstruck. I was on my way to work, waiting at traffic lights, and who did I see spinning around in a nice little black roadstar? Dear oul John, fixing his hair in his mirror to boot.

....I think the Times have a compensation fund for those who've suffered that kind of thing.

Did you yell at him for being a thundering c*nt? I missed that opportunity with Sean Sherlock and regretted it ever since.

Did anyone else hear him on the radio at the weekend (forgot which station) where he was talking about Nigella Lawson's husband divorcing her for 'not standing by him'

Basically, Waters' whole argument was that domestic violence against women is an invention of the feminist movement who are making up all the statistics so they can get more government funding

He went on to say that men suffer from domestic abuse just as much as women do, and he defended the physical assault on Nigella by her husband by saying 'nobody can control when a couple may have a falling out, it this hadn't happened in public, they could have made up and been having sex 5 minutes later.

What the FuK!!
What planet is this guy from?

A guy strangles his wife in a restaurant and Waters complains that 'the media are denying him his privacy'
He's insane.

There's two "Colemans" at Newstalk. The one that hosts "Coleman at Large" is an absolute gob****e in the mould of Jon Waters (belief-wise, the flavour of bollocks that spews from his mouth is less varied than that of Waters).

Don't know which Coleman was hosting that show but if it was the one I mentioned above then expect a cesspit of nonsense.

Marc Coleman is the guy who wrote 'The best is yet to come' about the irish economy which was released the year before the biggest economic collapse in our history and the writing was already on the wall. He is a catholic conservative a la waters. He has a show on Tonight at 10pm where he'll probably spend the whole time talking about how great Lucinda Creighton is for taking a stand against abortion.

Shane Coleman is alright, he's just yer run of the mill joirno, But he was on holidays this week, so Mick Clifford was the host on Sunday. I was surprised at how he didn't challenge anything that Waters was saying.

I used to listen to this show fairly regularly. Put it on on Sunday morning but had to lunge for the off switch as soon as Waters was announced as a panellist. Just can't be listening to that sort of $hite first thing on a Sunday.

Mark Coleman is a pr*ck too, but not of Waters's calibre

It's a truly strange segment. He spends more time complaining about feminists spreading propaganda that men are more likely to be than women to commit domestic violence against their partner/girlfriend/wife.

He actually appears to be saying that the relationship drove him to the violent act and that might make it okay. He asks also what is a man supposed to do if being abused by the wife/girlfriend. Um.... leave her? Report her to the police?

Today's snoozefest.

By the coherence of its perspective and the sure-footedness of its language, Lumen Fidei deftly transports us between the different layers of
reasoning in which our cultures have latterly come to cogitate

...once again, I'm thinking that the phrase "Up the bum, no harm done" is at best, quite misleading.

The text is studded with astoundingly clear sentences, like: “It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.”

"Ask me bollocks" is another clear statement - aptly deployed in response - with less words in it.

I've come to the realisation that life is too short and too precious to ever read another John Waters column. I feel like a great burden has been lifted from my shoulders ...

And this week it's, poor Jim Walsh Syndrome. Bad pro-choicers, etc.

I don't know what's worse - his article or the comments made by the pro-birthers in the comments section.

John Waters defending a hardcore catholic misogynist without any respect for women or even the faintest grasp on reality?

Well I never.

There is now a #JohnWatersTweets hashtag on Twitter. It makes for wonderful reading.

Although I’ve repeatedly written about the position of the father in respect of abortion and otherwise, I remained untroubled by calls from Irish radio or television stations.

Unbelieveable...
