The porn argument is fair but we had torn up dirty magazines back in my day as well and we turned out... Oh forget that

Around 12 to 14 sounds fair

There has been sex education in schools since the 80s. The only issue I've heard about is promoting the five million genders that were invented since 2010. Maybe I missed something.

Yeah I got the talk from the nuns in 6th class but I was under the impression that had since been pushed out to the secondary schools. There's also a consent or opt out form for that so it's a bit of a non issue if the that's the case anyway.

Conversation with the 7 year old went something like this:

Dad, why are those boys kissing each other?

Because sometimes men fall in love with men.

Oh, okay.

The part of this particular story that makes me laugh is the hoops that the Catholic nationalists are having to jump through now that the Muslim council is on their side on this issue.

It also probably nicely distracts us all from other things too, like TDs declaring houses they'd forgotten or something similar

Was out having a Chinese last night and noticed there were no foreigners having dinner there, only Irish.

The irony. I must tell all my nationalist friends to get down the Chinese if they want to be surrounded by Irish.

Seriously, ne'er a polski or black or middle eastern or Indian to be found in there. No Chinese either unless they worked there. Mad thing to notice the Irishness of the local Chinese restaurant.

Was going to the random thread with this but I suppose this is where the arguments are to be had.

You could try sell that to Tommy Tiernan, I hear he has some space to fill in his set

Couldn't fucking make it up seriously.

Between that and the Islam council coming out in support of the Catholic nationalists view on LGBT this week it has truly been peak irony season

Apparently Tommy has just filled that space by interviewing a millionaire Ukrainian model about why she had to flee to Ireland and leave the parents behind and seemingly that's the latest thing to get people's knickers in a twist.

Great to be distracted all the time.

The latest statementfrom the EU would seem to indicate that the current age of bolloxology is drawing to a close.

It's all just a constant distraction at this stage.

It looks so but I doubt the lads here will have the will or ability to properly carry it out in a fair and quick manner.

Yeah I'm trying to tune out as much as possible despite the protestations of the national media, who would rather I think about Enoch Burke or Paul Murphy's non binary baby then something consequential like most of the government suddenly remembering they bought houses and then keeping the rules in the favour of landlords pricing people out of a place to live at the same time as not being able to buy a house because there aren't enough to make it feasible for at least half the people who would be looking for one.

But anyway, here's Enoch standing back outside the school for our kicks

This dude got cancelled for using the word 'nips' (for anyone who doesn't watch docs about WW2, an out-of-date slur for Japanese during the war) in front of a half Korean woman on the radjo. While referring to mini bottles of booze and non-Japanese person Mila Kunis. Ha ha, it's so fucking retarded, and these arch-retards at The Hill give it both barrels.

He didn't use the word nips. Watch here:
https://twitter.com/davecullinane/status/1638539039593705472?s=20

They were having an on-air discussion about their "top 5 nips", in the meaning of miniature bottles of drink (this is why Skrewball whiskey is mentioned). The guy who has been "cancelled" then interrupts with his "I'd probably go Mina Kimes..." signalling his comic interpretation of "top 5 nips" is to instead list his top 5 hottest women of Asian descent, which is why the other guy giggles; the joke is evident, and has absolutely nothing to do with Mila Kunis; that was him trying to squirm his way out of it afterwards by saying he wasn't using the racist meaning of the word, but rather talking about nipples.

Edit : Once again, fuck thon.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Hey, at least we both agree it's retarded!    I went on Twitter the other day, saw Mila Kunis (easily one of my all time top 5 screen beauties) was trending, so went to see why, and voilà; a whole load of retardedness. As per usual, I don't think the guy should be "cancelled" over it (I don't know or really care what actual fallout he's facing), but the whole Kunis angle seems ridiculous to me, especially since his co-host, or whoever, got the joke immediately on the basis of him having said "Mina Kimes". Or did one guy mean to say Mila Kunis and the other guy also misheard Mila Kunis and that's why he laughed, even though there's no longer any real joke there unless the name stated is someone who is famous for showing their "nips", which (perhaps to the dismay of some!) Kunis is not? That stretch is an enormous demand on credulity. Maybe this guy and Scott Adams will start their own wildly successful radio show for the tragi-comically "misunderstood" together!

In Scotland a nip is a short, as in a 'dram'. Yer one is half Korean, the joke was so dumb either way, the pretend shock horror, ah here good jaysus it would all have you reaching for a a nip or two just to blot it out.
