    This fellow continues in an Irish tradition of getting worked up about issues in direct proportion to their distance from Ireland and irrelevance to us. Give me a break: Burma-a small far-off country of which I know little and care less.

    Take your stupid protest elsewhere Lay Low, 99% of the people of Ireland couldn't find Burma on a map, and you're crazy if you think we give a damn whether it has a military or a monkish government.

    I do know that a number of idle multi-millionaires are toying with the issue--reason enough for me to ignore it. Ditto for Darfur.

    Fantastic, then why the hell are you in here shouting your mouth off about something you know nothing about in a country you couldn't care less about.

    Jesus. Are you a child?!

    "Jesus. Are you a child?"

    We are all God's children. Even you, Cookie, God has a special affection for folks like you. There's a pretty phrase in Irish--you probably don't know it, despite your bogus multiculturalism--but it could well apply to you. Duine le Dia.

    And I'll comment on any damn topic that I like, and won't look to twits like you for permission. Buzz off!

    I'm nothing to do with God's loins, thanks.

    What evidence do you have that I'm a multiculturalist, or indeed as you claim a bogus multiculturalist? None. You're just making stuff up and shouting your mouth off again reinforcing my belief that you are an ill-informed moron.

    Stupid people often make the mistake of thinking that if they have an opinion on everything they are de facto smart. It's not the case. They just end up showing more people how stupid they are.

    Well done the monks and nuns in leading their people - exactly what they should be doing as the moral leaders of their country - Catholic bishops please note

    That's a good point, beardyboy. Since Fr. Murphy's time the Catholic clergy in Ireland have never led their people in civic agitation. Mo naire iad.
