Why do people care so much about royalty getting married? Like they give a fuck about the million people who were stood outside waving them off. They are just 2 random people getting married.

It really is a mystery to me. I remember when I was living in the Netherlands, their Queen was visiting my town at some point, and it seems like everyone went completely nuts - both Dutch and foreigners alike flocked to the streets and squares, dressed in orange and waving small flags, all just to see her get out of the car, wave to the public and disappear again  I tried to reason to a friend of mine who wanted to go and drag me with her, saying it's just a person like everyone else, who just happened to be born into an institution that follows some pompously ridiculous ceremonial nonsense from centuries ago that has absolutely no relevancy or legitimacy nowadays. All to no avail, as my friend simply rejected my argument saying that she's not like any other person, she's THE QUEEN, doh! Fuck sake, I guess many still are peasants deep inside and actually believe that the monarchy has the divine right and is well above the people.

Supposed to be about 100,000 odd turn out just for a wave... It's a day out for people I suppose, I managed to clear the entire back garden shed out while all that was going on yesterday.. I also find it interesting that we can have a billion flags up everywhere for a month and no one gives a toss but if I stick one up on a flagpole in my back garden for a week I am bound to have someone knocking the door telling me it's upsetting one of my neighbours......

You know what I meant by that  And no, I didn't go haha. I hate crowds and don't particularly enjoy taking part in mass psychosis. Now, if she offered to go to a pub afterwards, that could have been a different story altogether...  But don't worry, there was a group of people going anyway, I didn't leave her on her own

Thanks mate - 

Lady is well, baby is fat, and just getting over being sick for a few weeks. 

Regardless, I'm a blessed man with a very beautiful looking baby.

Reading about Ireland's abortion referendum. I love how people on both sides of the abortion argument think they are morally right. 'My body, my rights' (but it's not your body, it's someone else's body) or 'It's a human' (how do we arbitrarily decide when a human is a human). Both sides have it all wrong, if they even bothered to read an sort of literature on the subject they'd quickly know that when it comes to medical science there are papers, journals, and what have you that are support nearly all claims for and against.

Personal bias aside, I think abortion is fucking weird and disturbing outside of the extremes. Yeah, I don't mind when Sally gets an abortion because she got raped and will probably kill herself and the baby through post-natal depression. However it makes my skin crawl reading about Jen who treats abortion as late term birth-control, walking out of her sixth abortion. Then there are those weirdos that think it's just the greatest thing ever (wtf is wrong with them).

Abortion shouldn't exactly be stigmatised but it shouldn't' be normalised either.

Read a doctor's article named ' The silent shriek ' through equipment he heard the sound of the baby shrieking while performing an abortion.

If used in the correct way, there is nothing wrong with abortion.

I don't think there is a moral absolute to this. Of course you can't discount the emotional trauma, the physical trauma, the late nights thinking if it was the 'right thing to do', the second guessing, damaged relationships, and so on and so forth.

Good cunts never die they just become farkin legends aye @Cannabis not that you'd know ya gronk

Hopefully it's repealed, I feel like most of Ireland is behind it regardless of the releigiois nut jobs. The way abortion has been treated as an argument for "pro-life" is ridiculous, as if it's going to be used as a form of contraception. Leave people to make their own choices about their own bodies.

[Honey Honey]

It's weird as fuck that they put abortion in the constitution in the first place.
