The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I doubt, as fucked up as both the left and right are, that the right would glorify the slaughter of innocent parents and children in a parade.

I was linked to an article in the Daily Mail the other day about the 27 men, women, and children who died in the Channel Crossing, got down to the comments and what do I see? A whole load of vile right wing cunts, just like you KC, mocking the dead.

Mocking the dead is a bit much. Returning people to their point of departure and refusing them access to any kind of state support once they arrive is the only thing that will stop these death dinghies. The problem of people undertaking these incredibly dangerous journies was created by the left. Angela Merkel also has a massive case to answer for turning the Mediterranean into a watery graveyard.

The crux of it really...

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Journalism is most certainly on the decline, across the spectrum, though I doubt you've read any serious journalism in your entire life, given the bollocks you try to pass off as attention-worthy here.

[Caomhaoin]

Serious, like 'the Atlantic'?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Serious like not 4chan, Gript, The Liberal, The Daily Mail, etc. Something more serious than something you'd hesitate to wipe your arse with for fear of what you might contract.

[Caomhaoin]

Hard to trust any of them though. I read Le Monde (try to keep it to the sports news) just to be reading in French, but some of their articles...Christ.

Same goes for USA Today, any of the Spanish papers or the Irish Independent, which I have access to a subscription. Some of the opinion pieces in the latter are such utter scutter that you'd think it was an elephants graveyard for failed Daily Mirror columnists and agony aunts.

Irish Examiner has excellent sports coverage. Unsure about the rest. Still stinks highly of PR Cork.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Bits of serious journalism trickle through here and there, but I don't know of any single source which can be said to have enough genuine integrity to be consistently reliable.

You could give Courrier International a go for the French; high quality translations of pieces from all around the world. Most of the content is subscriber only, but if it's just for language learning, there's always enough that's not paywalled to have an interesting read or two a day.

Cheers I'll have a look:)

HBO/YOUTUBE IN SHAMBLES AS ANTISEMITIC COMMENTS FLOOD SANTA INC TRAILER

Oh, what a surprise, this is lifted direct from 4chan, the bacteria colony that feeds off the bottom of the toilet of the world:

Who thought these Neanderthals how to write.?

Trust me, almost no thought was involved.

This goyim rages hard for the J.....

Jesus man, please go back on your meds. You are insufferable.

[Hambeast]

Fuck sake can you reel it in? You can get your point across without being an arse about it. There's plenty of other places you can go if you're wanting to delve into that kind of conversation.

Our resident cretin is addled as usual. Wasn't he hoping for Polish border police to shoot immigrants just last week, not distinguishing between adults and children there??

Seriously? To make a local link, what encouraged people on to coffin ships to America during an Górta Mór? Did they expect state support on the other side? Or was it plain desperation that drove them to take a perilous journey perhaps, that no matter what things have to be worth working towards?
Any different now for people in so many other countries that they won't take risks anyway to go to places where they see better opportunities for a better quality of life?

If anyone replies, the answer is likely to involve smart phones. Anti-immigration folk like nothing more than to shelter their lack of humanity under the implicit absurd notion that smart phones can be used as flotation devices.
