Like how you see Iran as totally pure and America as total evil?
You can’t see what’s in front of you mate.
I don’t though or anything like it
The problem with people like you is that you can’t debate honestly and depend on deliberately lying about other people’s views, ie. you depend on inventing a straw man to debate with because that’s you only way you think you can win
It’s a big problem on the right in general and especially on this forum, all the right-wing nut jobs are yuuuuuuggggeeeee on it
I’m not on the right or even close to it.
Now where’s that straw man?
I could have sworn you called America an evil fascist regime and posted death to America
You adopt all the classic right-wing techniques
I’ve just demonstrated Irish nationalist zealotry on your part
That is very right-wing
Also you have extreme cognitive dissonance about the status of the Irish language
You say we have “our” language
Yet when I pointed out that the Irish allowed the Irish language to decline and to effectively die, which they did, you went nuts
So how could we have “our” language, then
“Our” language is English - I’m not aware of a single thread on this forum conducted through the medium of Irish
“Death to America” is an entirely legitimate thing to post when America commits an act of war on another country on the other side of the world, who has done pretty much nothing on it
War is death
And America has been effectively at war with Iran for 70 years merely because it felt like it
They overthrew their democratically elected government, they installed a vile client despot in his place, they got Iraq to declare war on them, they shot down an Iranian civilian plane in Iranian airspace, from Iranian waters, they have continually imposed sanctions on them, they have destabilised and brought war to the region by invading Iraq, they have continually propped up a vile regime in Saudi Arabia to threaten war on them, Trump cancelled the nuclear deal for no reason other than Obama’s name was on it and committed an act of war on Iran just last week
So I think you can understand Iran’s hostility to the USA, the reverse, well, not so much
Most things are not completely black and white but in terms of who has been the bad guy in terms of US-Iran relations over the last 70 years, it’s as close to black and white as makes no difference
And I’m no fan of the Iranian regime at all, far from it, but Iran has never been the bad guy in terms of their relations vis a vis the US
Ok so it’s a legitimate technique when you do it. Got it.
You’ve built the biggest straw man on the forum, holding yourself up as the defender of the left, if anyone disagrees with you then, they must be fascist or a right wing nutjob
What’s “it”?
You can’t even be clear in your posting, which is a shame
I give my views and my views are generally on the money and I will debate them and win the argument
That’s why a large cohort of posters including you have such a problem with me - because I expose uncomfortable truths about you and your views
That’s why you resort to straw men so much - because you aren’t equipped to debate on facts or reality
It’s very funny when I simultaneously get branded as arrogant and self-loathing
The cognitive dissonance on this forum is off the scale
Where is this?
Greggs mate.
I never heard of it?
Don’t tell me it’s in England.

He’d want to be careful there. You aren’t allowed call them prostitutes anymore. 20 women who worked as prostitutes is the correct terminology. Although that’s probably out dated now as well
Sex industry workers?
Excellent read.
The bit about exams is my wife’s fear
Plug name of school here and read inspection reports
It would be a big concern of mine from what I witnessed and talking to teachers in school I visited.

As a family you can lead by example, teach your child good values and prepare them to be a good citizen. You cannot help them in the same way for state exams. In educate together, there is a strong emphasis on the former.
