The dumb leading the dumb
They reckon the Referendum on childrenâs rights is going to be passed.
58% said they would vote Yes, while 4% said they would vote No.
What is very interesting about this is that 90% said they hadnât a fucking clue what the referendum was about.
So 52% of the voters are changing the constitution but they donât know what the hell they are voting for? Personally I find that rather scary.
Of course you only have to mention âprotecting the childrenâ and people go all gooey-eyed and rush to do their bit. The children must be protected at all costs. The fact that these Yes voters are giving more power to the State to intervene in childrenâs lives is irrelevant. The fact that giving the state any more power than a 9V battery is downright dangerous is irrelevant. We must think of the children.
What these fucking idiots forget is that not all children are blue eyed, golden haired little Pollyannas.
Children have a habit of growing up.
Yes, as soon as you mention the children, 99% of people stop thinking straight. Mention anything negatively and they start looking at you as if you are Vlad the Impaler.
Won't anyone think of the cheeeeeldren!
I am sick to the fucking teeth hearing about the precious cheeeeeldren. They are used now for every fucking Nanny law that the gubmint wants to introduce.
All people should do is conjure up a mental image of an eight year old hoodie snotgobbler. Then they'll think differently.
Or in your case, Vlad the Impaler's grandad. Heh heh.
As for myself, I love kids, but couldn't eat a whole one.
Nice curried?
Personally, I think they should be herded and not seen…
Heh! Welcome, Peter to the fray.
I am starting to hate 'the children' every time I hear them used as an excuse for ever more State interference I could scream!
Me too. First mention of the word "children" and I shut down. Not interested. Go away….
Irritating children should get the boot.
Politicians behave like irritating children.
Therefore irritating politicians should get the boot.
Now that's a logical syllogism. I can think. So the Italian philosopher guy who wrote in the Irish Times saying they should introduce philosophy into the school syllabus is thinking through his stuffy nose. I passed the Leaving Cert and know how to think, thank you.
