Apparently IC,s automatic editing machine had broken as it is posting my parts of my comments embedded with other peoples comments and accrediting them to me.That or the staff are playing a joke on me for posting comments that were provocative to their mostly right wing stance and an author in particular on their staff(you know who you are).Ah i see finally the comment shows up in it,s entire form.

a visibly loving parent.A pattern which im sure is not peculiar to Ireland but which as with most things in this arena seems to amplified somehow in relation to the R.O.I.Some thing to do with 900 years of colonial oppression i would imagine.

The Mother in the Republic of Ireland is often see as a saint as she is the only constant outpost of unconditional love with the father being absent either physically or emotionally.The majority of us would be cripples is the psychological sense without this much needed input from a visibly loving parent.A pattern which im sure is not peculiar to Ireland but which as with most things in this arena seems to amplified somehow in relation to the R.O.I.Some thing to do with 900 years of colonial oppression i would imagine.

No one that risks their lives in war where only the elite profit should be considered a hero.Rather he is a fool that threw away his life for nothing.A hero for risking his life for his fellow man yes but in circumstance s he didnt really choose and for a cause he probably doesnt believe in anyway.

One of the finest women I ever knew was an Irish Mother, and though I wasn't fortunate enough to have her for mine, my childhood would have been so very emotionally and mentally impoverished without her love and wisdom. She passed long ago and I still miss her.

Sure without them many of us would not be here. Da(d) must have played his part, because many of us thought, or still think, we were/are sort of 'immaculate conceptions', meaning God's gift to womankind. Well, maybe not... . I remember the papier mâché effigy of "The Mother" in all 3 acts of an Irish play I saw. "The mother" was being held up for observation, or whatever. Sure, most of the audience walked out after the first act, since you'll watch your mouth when you talk about my mother that way.
