Bunch of babies if you ask me.

And this post pretty much sums up why I dislike AH more and more. I wouldn't like spending time with people who would joke about such topics, or see no problem with making those jokes, and the same is true with AH.

Some of the long running threads in AH are great through (Trivial Things, I Bet You Didn't Know, Creepy or Unnerving Things)

Was the first poster serious? I thought it was irony/pisstake.

I'd say you need some sort of "safe space (TM)"

No no no, don't you get it? Its the rest of us who are snowflakes

All the "serious" threads used to end up in the Politics or Humanities forums. But then the Politics forum became too regulated, and most people migrated to AH.

It seems to be infested by people talking in US political terms.
Ireland has 2 center right parties that combined have been in power for the entire history of the state.
Yet people even in this thread are throwing around the word liberal.

Liberal is meant to refer to left leaning Democrats in the US.
It's use on an Irish messaging board is pretty bizarre.
Boards didn't have this level of US centric posts even 5 years ago.

Ireland has become very US centric in political views recently, to its detriment. Admittedly, this is much to do with certain elements of the political landscape getting more concerned with political stunts than with the business of running the country.

On the liberal part of your post, their economic and social liberalism. One can be economically liberal and socially conservative[ie. pro big business, anti gay marraige type stuff], while another may be economically conservative and socially liberal. Both could describes themselves as liberals, which is probably where the confusion arises.
