    Emmet went down the route of calling me a racist too. That's the sheer vindictiveness of the type of appalling people - which that and Livia are actually lampooning, don't forget, but at the same time have *become* (a person has one view that the right agrees with, therefore they agree with everything right-wing, or not just right-wing - far right). Remember the Thunder Dome? That used to be hilarious, but then it got dark because the insults which were for the laugh started to become real.

    Anyway, in Afghanistan and Pakistan (look up menstrual huts if you've the stomach), Saudi Arabia, the Congo, Somalia... people know damn fu*king well what a woman/girl is. In the west when it comes to trafficking and vile porn they also do. Female biology being dismissed, especially by certain men - it's maddening.

    Please don't group all men with a few idle pricks on the Internet.


    Sincerely

    Men

    We're not, I'm rather fond of men (people with a penis for the woke among us).

    What in the fu-king Jesus. Do these clowns actually do any research into pregnancy, what it entails, what it does to a woman's body, what the after effects can be? They are deranged.

    Not having a go at Wibbs - but notice the way Robbie is an attack dog to me and Leg End, but not so much at him? These guys view women as easy targets.

    Ah I didn't do that! When I said "men", I just meant the "male feminist" dickheads who viciously attack women for disagreeing with redefining terminology for women/female biology. I meant "certain men" but I thought the context implied that anyway.

    Actually, in fairness @AckwelFoley - it's not totally clear. Edited. 😊

    A troll-the-woke play in three parts.

    Glossary of a few Martha's Vineyard residents, part-time and fulltime:

    Barack & Michelle Obama, Bill & Hillary Clinton, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah, Larry David, Spike Lee, David Letterman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meg Ryan, Chelsea Handler, Rosie O'Donnell, Neil Patrick Harris

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,825 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber


    Go on have a go at Wibbs for his **** post.

    Or is there anything you to say about anyone who thanked it, didn't thank it. Shouldn't we mention all the other people who didn't reply or is it just strange when I dont respond to that really really low quality post?




  • Registered Users Posts: 6,825 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber


    Do you find what don de santis did to these migrants amusing.

    Is using others humans like this a great big joke?



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,953 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Since my last post... Worse tis getting. Maybe time to make this a NO CHAT thread.



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,448 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    Does every thread devolve into trans rights now on boards - seems to be everywhere or are they everywhere, why give such a miniscule minority such a large voice.

    Just ignore or let them at it on Twitter

    I just woke up for a run and I am aghast at some of the posts from last night. You wouldn’t mind but there weren’t any arguments, just insults and accusations.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,825 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber


    You didn't clarify anything.

    You said the democrat party are to the left and to the right a bit like a game of hokey pokey gone wrong.


    Earlier in the thread you made reference to a group "the left" you felt were damaging society.

    I have asked several times who this group are to you.

    I asked if the American democrat party were part of the left.

    You replied that the democrats are both left and right on two named terms. You have never answered my question of if they form a part of what you term "the left".

    Oh don't forget your little crap insult you added.

    Id report the post but it's far funnier watching posts like yours have to resort to anger and abuse to reply to me.

    There are ways to illuminate the hypocrisy of the preachy among their number, but that wasn't it. Never mind that they did put up the migrants. Well the locals did, I doubt the Oprah's of the place did much. Still the MAGA eejits got their twatter moment. 'Murica.

    And that's a major thing with America. Polarisation. Then again, along with individualism I would suggest such obvious social and political polarity and contradiction is oddly part of America's success. We read and hear America is deeply divided now, fecked and circling the drain, but pick a period in her history where she wasn't. But that's not Ireland, we don't need to import that nonsense and the imported handmedown American "right" and "left" spouters would do well to consider that.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Just noticed the cupla focal on the Martha's Vineyard poster. 😁 Interesting inclusion. Spanish(and English obviously) appears to be the only other European language in the mix. Though more people speak Spanish outside Spain. No Italian and the Italian diaspora is huge in the US, or German the biggest diaspora of all. German Americans are an interesting bunch. Hidden in plain sight. We can all think of Irish/Italian/African/Jewish/Chinese American stuff in their culture, media and arts, but try finding German and they dwarf them all combined. The only one I can think of off hand are the Amish and they're more pointed at as an oddity than included. I suppose WW1 and WW2 painted over them. And the language. At one time German was the second most spoken language in America. But I digress...

    It's fúckin despicable.

    Those migrants who were used to score points against the so called woke are humans and don't deserve to be treated like this.

    Any other reaction to how these people were treated than disgust is contemptible.

    It is certainly not light hearted fun to take 50 people get them on a plane through lies and deception and then dump them somewhere else.

    Oh but it annoys the wokies this thread will try and say.

    Well I say duck you and your contempt for other humans.

    Really sad that none of the right on breathen call out posts like this when they moan about this thread not being light hearted anymore.

    When you don't even have empathy for other humans because your warped idealogy allows you to other them so easily it is a really sad state of affairs to me.

    I think it's an incredibly pointed spotlight on the uber hypocrisy of the preachy. And it's funny.

    Martha's Vineyard is a 'sanctuary city', you know a self-declared safe haven which 'stands' with ALL refugees, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. The poster splashed across the place says so.

    Middle of the night flights full of illegal immigrants have been flown to ordinary towns and cities all not noticed by the righteous hypocrites, all people flown were apparently informed (probably not the citizens of the places though) and signed consent forms (who wouldn't want to get out of the cages/hellholes they were corralled into) just like this instance.

    PS I also notice who you've quoted and I'd advise anyone here for the LOLs and incredulity at the expanse of dumbness from around the world to use ignore button as they and at least one other are deliberately out to get this thread closed despite what they profess - I haven't seen one actual contribution to the purpose of this thread from them but plenty of ranty, preachy derailment, which is a feature not a bug of the preachers.

    Ron de santis the Christian hypocrite.

    "The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"

    Jesus ain't your copilot on this one pal.


    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2022/09/12/what-message-is-desantis-sending-with-religious-full-armor-of-god-rhetoric/%3foutputType=amp

    “Put on the full armor of God. Stand firm against the left’s schemes. You will face flaming arrows, but if you have the shield of faith, you will overcome them, and in Florida we walk the line here,” DeSantis told


    Ron desantis you duckin hypocrite.

    Treating humans like you do is certainly not on message with the biblical Jesus I read about.

    Why is it appalling for refugees to be put up in Martha's Vineyard?

    The residents of Martha's Vineyard are very outspoken about their support for refugees and asylum seekers, so its only logical that some should be put there, as they'll obviously get a kind and compassionate reception.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,840 ✭✭✭growleaves


    Robbie you don't know what you're talking about. They're illegal immigrants, it would have been just to return them to Mexico or Guatemala.

    Instead they were sent to a 'sanctuary city'. Its a standard policy to distribute them around the country e.g. San Francisco, Rhode Island etc. Its considered an act of mercy, deliberately ignoring deportation laws.

    Only in a fake-outrage fantasy world is being allowed to travel to Massachusetts to begin a new life a human rights abuse.

    The only even slightly newsworthy angle of this story is that they were allowed to live in an ultra-rich area. It would be like housing Nigerian immigrants in Foxrock and Ballsbridge instead of Balbriggan and Blanch.

    Out of interest, when did you become a Christian?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,825 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber


    In Massachusetts, authorities scrambled to accommodate the migrants sent by DeSantis, most of whom had no idea where they were being taken, spoke little to no English and were left to walk several miles from the airport into a nearby town to seek help. Some told aid workers they had been promised jobs and housing.


    Lying to people, adults and children, moving them to an unknown location to them and abandoning them is ok is it?

    Is it light hearted and funny to do that to children?


    DeSantis’s favored news network, Fox News, was given prior knowledge, showing footage of the migrants’ arrival on Wednesday night as an “exclusive”


    “There was no advance notice to anyone in Martha’s Vineyard or Massachusetts that these migrants were arriving, to my knowledge,” said Julian Cyr, a state senator.


    Desantis and his ilk had the foresight to call fox news for media coverage but no actual help for the humans he was dumping like rubbish.

    I don't think anyone doesn't understand why this is not ok. But sure I'll play along.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,028 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    Any location is going to be unknown to them since they are not from the US. Had they been moved to other sanctuary cities like San Francisco it would have been the same.

    Maybe they were assured they would be housed and employed in Martha's Vineyard? After all the place is so pro-refugee and a sanctuary city so they would have a much better chance of housing & employment there than other places in the US that would arrest them for their illegal status.

    Is it light hearted and funny to do that to children?

    Who was promising jobs to children?

    Who said jobs were promised to children.

    So no empathy for your fellow humans, this was all a big joke and the people involved had a great laugh did they?

    I mean they must otherwise why would it be in this light-hearted thread, ain't that right timmy?
