It’s the internet in general my dude. People are much quicker to lambast and deride anyone/anything that doesn’t 1000000% match their value set, whatever that value set happens to be. I do actually think the internet has made us much worse at being able to disagree respectfully.

So...making the presumption you are from the US? The country which boasts some of the worst health inequality in the developed world? Whose maternal mortality rate is almost five times that of Ireland’s?

We didn’t elect that fucker! We didn’t elect the last fucker either!

Look, the leader of the majority party becomes Taoiseach, that leader is chosen by the members of his party (read the money members); so no we did not elect him. Last election Fine Gael didn’t have even close to a large enough majority to form a…

Once again to those outside of the islands of Britain and Ireland, this is not a Catholic issue. All sects of Christianity in the North and Republic are against abortion. I wonder why there is so much misinformation about this? Maybe because Americans can relate more to protestants, who knows. The DUP who are a…

I think it’s more appropriate to discuss the scope of this problem as the ISLAND of Ireland be it Northern Ireland or Éire has a near complete ban on abortions. In Scotland the First Minister is able to offer women who routinely travel to the country free NHS terminations, but this can not be said about the rest of…

Where do your Irish friends live? I’m asking because my ancestors who came here in the late 1800s were from County Roscommon (the only place to vote NO on marriage equality) in Ireland.

Thanks, digbette!

Whoa! I guess this sort of thing has been going on for a long time....

Isn’t that the sign against the evil eye?

I disagree with the other commenter. I think we are complicit because commenting raises the page views on articles and writers will continue to write articles that get a lot of page views. It increases ad revenue. Meanwhile their profile is raised and when the have some product to shill, people will pay attention. A…

See, I really enjoyed Girls (though the last season was kind of a let down; the finale in particular) but I watched it as satire. I think a lot of it was indeed satirical but after rewatching it and having read more interviews with Lena Dunham, Girls seems like it might have been a love letter by Lena to herself.

Lena Dunham is already trying to take the attention off the kid and back onto herself, because that’s her move.

Agreed. Being pregnant already blows without people zooming in on your face and gleefully speculating how getting fat will affect your fillers. I cried like 70% of both my pregnancies because I felt so disgusting and my job doesn’t even center on looking good and I had a good decade and a half of experience on her.

People has also confirmed the news...excellent work Kris Jenner.

She (or the production team for the video) did contact the family and they were paid. It’s actually mentioned in the judges decision and mentioned by both the plaintiff and defendant.

I don’t know. Please tell why people care enough to post a “why do ppl care” comment. Enlighten the rest of us.

all people aren’t equal

Piers Anthony’s EVERYTHING, to be honest. Firefly was creepy enough that I didn’t finish it (or even really start it... I think I read one chapter in a Walgreens and noped the heck out), but at least it was targeted to adults. Xanth and those Apprentice Adept books were targeted to tweens/teens. That was the age I…

Yea, I don’t see someone like Mark joining the military, unless he was going to be a Casey Kelso type (realizes he doesn’t like following orders and gets [kicked] out). It just doesn’t fit with his character.

It actually wasn’t like that at all.
