What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

Curtis Jackson, unlike others, isn't just complaining about his Combs' predatory and violent tendencies though.

He is ridiculing him as a homosexual.

When aisling Murphy was murdered, media here were making up stories about the new bogeyman imported from the States, the incel. Not a "cuddly" married man with kids.

There are world wide examples of where these incel types are dangerous to women but it doest take away from the fact the majority of dangers to women come from men they already know.

Happy clappy family types who set up a YouTube channel and then put every other thing they do on it should be tarred and feathered.

Oasis are absolutely sh it.

FG and FF have actually done an outstanding job of running the country over the last decade or so and i say that as someone who used to vote SF for years.

Im not saying your wrong and I certainly dont know of any stats that specifially call out incels or those identifying as incels however id argue in terms of whos more dangerous to women it has to be looked at in terms of exposure. Its much easier to never be around an incel than it is a partner, ex or man known to you.

The numbers on abuse are there, 1 in 4 women in Ireland and 1 in 3 women worldwide will experience some sort of abuse from a current or former partner.

I do also feel sorry for some of these people as it often coming from poor mental health or an unaccommodated neurodiversity.

Personally i'm delighted to see the ''Irish'' club Celtic getting their arses handed to them tonight. A very unlikable fan base who'll have very little to say for themselves.

In parts of the Sub Continent it was deemed unlucky to be left handed. So kids were often forced to use their right hands. But I think that was more for cultural reasons then religious

Irish Celtic fans are the worst. They justify Celtic as an ''Irish'' club because they were set up to help Irish people etc Yet Hibs were set up for something long the same lines yet we don't see huge support for them in Ireland.

I've been travelling around europe for the last couple of weeks and one thing I noticed (much more than I would in Ireland as I don't be walking around cities in Ireland) is the amount of Muslim men who wear modern clothes like I do (jeans and t-shirt) and they're walking beside their wives who are covered with long clothing and a hijab.

It really is disgraceful the lack of respect this shows to these women and it's quite clear that if there wasn't social and familial pressure to be like this that those women would clearly dress the way most women dress.

More success I would argue.

The clubs that Irish people support in big numbers tend to be Celtic, Man Utd and Liverpool.

It is not a coincidence that those clubs tended to win all the time.

If people want to support them that's absolutely fine just don't be pretending it's out of some sort of patriotism.

You always hear gobshites arguing "they're the catholic/Irish club in the city that's why I support them"

A guy I work with in his early 20's supports Man City which means coincidentally he would have started supporting them when they started becoming successful , which is absolutely fine just don't be pretending that isn't the reason people support these clubs.

Which is even worse as it's means they've essentially been brainwashed into thinking this is normal.

When women from a Muslim background become secular they tend to dress like other Western women, they never seem to end up choosing 100% by themselves to cover up.

It's also the power imbalance that is wrong, Muslim man can dress as he wants, muslim woman must conform to old fashioned backward ideas.

It's like Irish people emigrating to the US years ago, they didn't magically become integrated liberal minded people. They were clannish, banded together, used the existing Irish American networks, and like back home, did whatever the priest told them to, get married, make babies and mind the house. To some extent that still happens though not as important as they once were.

I don't know am I allowed to say this (mod can delete if so).

But I think Irish people should be supporting Israel. Ireland had a vibrant Jewish community historically. Some of the Israel PM's had Irish connections, and I believe at least one was born in Dublin. Opressed people discriminated against, who are rightly fighting back. I honestly don't understand how many Irish people wrap the Palestine flag around them at matches etc as it it some how makes them more "Irish". Such people need to learn the history between Ireland and Israel.

Oh on the contrary I do. You should read this.

A lot of uncomfortable truths for you. I would say.

The ironic thing is Liverpool were founded by a member of the Orange Order! But of course many have this Liverpool isn't England idea as a way to justify it.

One thing that always annoys me about Liverpool is the media here almost have an expectation that people should be sympathetic to them as a club (by virtue of their being loads of Irish people emigrating there, although I imagine far more emigrated to Birmingham and London over the years) and then they blab on about how "Liverpool isn't really England , look at how they don't sing the national anthem" as if people in Ireland should give a toss about English internal matters.

How is Ice Hockey so big in the UK ?

Saw a pic of Belfasts Arena and was wondering it. Surely it's semi professional ?

Average salary appears to be around 40k per annum.

Be great if they added a team in Dublin , you'd think there would be a market for it with Dublin and the surrounding areas having a population of around 2 million they'd surely be able to get 3 or 4 thousand per match if it was marketed properly.

It's a good sport to watch live, fun fast and exciting.
