it's not upsetting me at all. Just a very stupid thing for Gambol to come out with. Unprompted he was. Its on the end of his tongue. Expect Catholic schools to be attacked next <followfollow> Taig comes from the Irish name Teague. It was popular around the time of Irish going en masse to Scotland. Like Paddy later when we went to England or Mick.
Canny be bothered looking back over the pages of this thread, but I don't think Torbett was mentioned till you did. I went, and remain on, an anti-religion rant. Catholicism was mentioned cause a Catholic priest, again, got caught abusing weans. This time 30 years of it. That is not rhetoric, that is not an attack on your religion, that is a ****in fact. So, I say yet again - shove yer religions, Protestant, Catholic, Sihk, Hindu, Muslim up yer collective sheep arses. They all are based on identical tenets - suppression, oppression, control, theft.
That's quite funny, coz I usually type taig as taigue - closer to your Teague Can't say I've ever found it offensive. Or being called a fenian bastard. Don't even really know what a fenian is, but I'll assume it's Irish related. Am deffo not a bastard but, 7th of 8 children.
How many times have I to tell you that I'm not religious? YOU brought religion into it. My question shall remain unanswered I'll assume.
There are despicable people in all walks of life. These people may, or may not, be religious. As for the recent peado priest he did that to kids for 30 years so I couldn't help be angry about that especially since it was his religion that was allowing his victims to be served up to him and to be covered up afterwards. Will that **** see jail? I doubt it.
Not to nit pick, but you've blamed religion for paedophilia. That's a mistake. You've clearly got some kind of grievance with the catholic church, otherwise you'd bring in other examples of different religions/walks of life who have had members abuse children. Am not arguing with you, Gamby. All I'll say is the only person to blame for abusing children is the abuser. The buck stops with them. I don't read up on paedophile stories, I'm not an authority on them, but I can assure you, not every catholic or indeed catholic priest has an eye for wee boys/girls. Now, my arse licking article, are you gonna comment on it or not?
A Fenian is an Irish Republican, I'm an unrepenting Fenian bastard myself. Although I'm not a bastard. Is a bastard not someone with no mother or father?
Mate I know what they have done, I'm Irish ffs. That Juan Guy you are talking about can be multiplied by god knows how many. You will not get a Paddy defending the church regarding this, which I didn't do.
So I'm technically no a fenian or a taig? How will that go down with the hoardes A b'stard's the child of an unmarried mother as far as I know. Plus every rangers/sevco fans. They're orange bastards.
Gambol, to say the church has done nothing since Benny apologised is just not true. The procedures were completely rotten from the bottom to the top. Fixing a flawed system that has been flawed for so long is not an overnight process. Getting a public 'bill of health' is quite another on top of that. You were a little clumsy earlier blaming the "faith" as opposed to the institution. I knew that is what you meant but you know what pedants us bead rattlin fenians can be.
Some of the ignorance in this thread is mind blowing. People not knowing the difference between an orphan or a bastard and not claiming to know anything about paedophilia? Can I suggest you go and get your priorities in order. Not an authority on paedophiles yet they are on a certain football team?... Laughable... Also, the church has been tarnished and shamed by paedophilia and the lack of punishments etc are even worse, although not an unfamiliar theme...
