I am Irish (as in, live in Ireland right now not the American Irish 'my great great grandaddy was Irish). This "Irish grocer" just sounds like BS. I highly doubt she eats sausages and potatoes anyway.

Karl! I love you.

Irish groceries? Hahaha. The only think I can think of that you would need to buy from an "Irish grocer" would be decent ingredients to make soda bread. What a pretentious bitch.

Wow. Now that is the true horror story of the pack. I'm so sorry.

It was likely just some dude being helpful. Foreigners sometimes create odd word arrangements in English. For example, when I was living in Denmark, an old man once told me "I fear you have caused the delay on the train". It sounds far more otherwordly. If the German 'ghost' had just said 'hey the buses have stopped…

I thought the little girl was going to end up being a ghost or something. That story is fucking incredible. I would dine out on that for the rest of my life.

It doesn't matter to them. When I was raped, the guy had a photo frame of him, a girl and parents and I said "is that your sister?" to which he replied yes and I asked what he would think if someone treated his sister like this and he just couldn't give a shit. They just don't give a fucking shit.

Someone who probably sleeps in until midday. I just got back from a year abroad 'studying' and never partied in my home country. I went completely wild and would stay out partying until at least 7am every day except Monday because it was dead in Copenhagen. Every. Single. Day. Of course by the end I was a little ill…

Unfortunately they're her mother and father and people are usually drawn back to them. Even though my dad abused my brothers and I, they still want to please him.

Yet Obama sanctions drone warfare and everyone licks his ass. Go figure.

Meh Sidibe didn't real do or say all that much in Precious. She was fully outshone by powerhouse performance of Mo'Nique.

What kind of work do you do that you can live and comment on Jezebel 500 times a day? I want it!

No, that's why I'm asking for clarification. Cat-calling is not a reason not to trust police. I've been cat-called by NYPD officers and Carabinieri before too. I assumed saraswatidevi was referring to something more sinister. Not an outrageous assumption considering the amount of NYPD rape cases.

Can you elaborate upon your experiences? I lived there for a few years and while I agree the harassment was the most fervent I've had the displeasure of encountering anywhere in the world, I never had an issue with the police beyond cat-calling.

Only crackheads get bleeding gums? You know 75% of people have gingivitis right? Not just crackheads and hobos.

I'm sorry, no. Thousands of women are not murdered every day in Australia by complete strangers or indeed by anyone. Have you seen the murder rate for the country?

Which case are you talking about? I find it very hard to believe it received no media attention....?

Thousands of women disappear in Australia every day? Citation, please.

It informs my next holiday destination.
