The Irish language is loving deader than disco, it just doesn't know it yet. I recently spent two weeks in the Gaeltacht and the only major difference was that the signs were in Irish. Still speaking English, still flogging the same shitey tourist crap everywhere. The vast, vast majority of Irish speakers know precisely one phrase: An feidir liom dul go dti an leithreas? (Can I go to the bathroom?) because it was loving drilled into their heads in school.

No one wants to learn or use Irish because hey, all our media is English and American imports anyway, and half of loving D4 is West Brit shithawks anyway who desperately want to go back to being a part of Britain so they can be part of a "real" country, and all this concillatory crap they push with the Queen and the north is part of that.



If you want a picture of modern Ireland imagine this shower trawling Cork, Dublin and the Gaeltacht forever.

-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

He's the biggest hack of them all, he just draws big ships or planes and then labels them DEBT or CONGRESS. I can't believe what it takes to win a Pulitzer for Political Cartoons, and a good 95% of cartoonists in the US are right-wing shills.

Compare this garbage with Bell or Rowson from the British cartoon thread, and it's an indictment of how smutty and lowbrow the American media has become:



Reminder that whenever Bell or Rowson are posted in the Polititoons thread people start bitching about how either they don't get it and it needs labels (usually after bitching about how American cartoons are full of labels :ironicat:) or complaining about the art style so I guess they're not the cartoons you want but the cartoons you deserve.

Also to be honest without the scare factor of LF the polititoons thread is full of GBS rejects running tired LF memes like Pants On The Ground donkey or Groverhaus into the ground and posting page after page of "ugh gently caress Muir/Rall/Lester/Ramirez he's such a bad cartoonist"

Jennie Wyse Power, amazing woman in Irish history

"These organisations frequently objected to restrictions on the lives of women and children and lobbied for improvements. De Valera agreed to meet delegations from women's organisations and to listen to their concerns that certain articles in the draft Constitution of Ireland could be used to further restrict women. However, in spite of their strong objections, he insisted on inserting the following articles:

41.2.1 In particular, the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.

41.2.2 The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home.

45.4.2 The State shall endeavour to ensure that the strength and health of workers, men and women, and the tender age of children shall not be abused and that citizens shall not be forced by economic necessity to enter avocations unsuited to their sex, age or strength."
