This is pretty much the last nail in the present Irish governments coffin, the present bunch (Fianna Fail as mentioned in the video) pushed through a sweet deal with the religous orders which left those responsible for torture, rape, slavery, suicide, neglect and I dont doubt, murder (theres a hell of a lot of anonymous mass graves linked to these places), paying only €128 million in compensation.
The tax payer however has to pay the other € BILLION and counting.
To put that in context, some nuns recently sold a single property in Dublin and got €105 million for it.

I cant recommend this video enough, its Christine Buckley speaking about her life in Goldenbridge Orphanage in Dublin:

I cant find an embeddable version, but its very powerful, be warned.


I just finished watching this video... Near the end a woman who was abused as a child at an institution said they had a dog that would run around biting off pieces of the kids legs and a monkey that would ride around on someone's shoulders masturbating while they ate rabbit feces.

... what the hell!

The lovely dames of my local monastery suggest a combination of Baby Jesus and the Diving Nun for the ultimate divine Geesus-spot experience.

I know your pits need it.

His view of morality as relative to a strong society makes perfect sense -- though I don't agree with his take on it, I understand the justifications he's using. He doesn't disagree with the tendency for people to engage in homosexual relationships, as he likens it to prostitution, "The reason you don't glorify it John [sic] anymore than you glorify whores," and then follows with "Now we all know people go to whores, and we all know that people are [sic] just do that, we all have weaknesses and so forth." Just amazing to hear him speak his mind so candidly. I just wanna know where he's getting his facts about homosexuality destroying the Roman empire. Oh, and popes sleeping with nuns? rofl much?

^It helps if you can close your aperture tighter than a nun's puckered asshole - and have a really fast shutter speed. That means you need a lot of light.

And I had a written paragraph before the C-17 pictures... but it's not coming up....

He was in quite a few sketches, actually. Mostly as a bit part character though.

In fact, that's him in the last second as the boxer knocking out the nun in this sketch:

This fucker cites the work of Fred Leuchter as evidence that gas chambers didn't exist. (Fred Leuchter's story was documented in the fascinating Errol Morris film Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.). His so-called "expertise" is a joke, and his "investigation" of Auschwitz has been completely discredited. This bishop must certainly know this about Leuchter, because he's not a complete idiot. Nonetheless he lies through his teeth simply by claiming Leuchter's investigation is valid in some way.

Fuck him. I think he's anti-semitic, and he's using the Leuchter bullshit as confirmation of this. This is called confirmation bias. Who would want to support such an outrageous claim? I can't see a way around his anti-semitism.

This doesn't surprise me, sadly. I went to Catholic grade school and high school, and I encountered more than a couple of nuns and priests who, how shall I say, weren't fond of the "Christ-killers." One more reason I became an atheist.

Slanted eyes? Are you trying to get Asian sifters to bust out the nun-chucks on you?


That's why I put it in quotes. It was the easiest way of saying Asian without saying Asian. I meant no offense by it.

Would you have preferred short and small-dicked people? I mean, what other way is there to describe Asian people if not by their most prominent characteristic (their eyes)?

Slanted eyes? Are you trying to get Asian sifters to bust out the nun-chucks on you?
