I whip myself on the back every day, I whip myself into a frenzy of pain and hallucination and see extraordinary visions before my eyes.....then I go for a coffee.
Suffering brings us closer to God. The more suffering the better. I hope my final days are spent in agony. Suffering is a privilege only for the lucky. Suffering Jesus.....
Just went out to turn boiler off. It's directly under my bedroom so I suspect that's how it/they entered. To my surprise there was a large hedgehog on the boiler room floor. Hardly a coincidence I think but I wouldn't have thought that hedgehogs could climb up a wall and a pipe?
Ah!!! You could be on to something. I thought it was odd as well. The only alternative I thought was maybe mice but the noise was much too loud for mice to make. Bloody bats are protected aren't they?
I never said you were all the same. What I said was that there were a higher number of criminals in the travelling community than in the settled one, which is true. I don't know how many thieves are in Ireland but I can tell you that 20% of young offenders in our youth holding facility are travellers, in should be 1%, which is the national rate. That means young travellers are twenty times more likely to commit crime than settled youths.
There is absolutely nothing in traveller culture worth keeping; lack of education, marriage in late teens, lack of ambition, oversize families, welfare dependency.......traveller culture has it all. Everyone knows this but political correctness stops people from saying the truth.
You're right not all travellers are thieves but unfortunately a high proportion are, much higher than in the settled community. Irish people fear travellers and there are good reasons to do so. Discrimination comes from this fear. If I owned a pub for example I wouldn't serve a traveller, to do so would be to take a risk, one that I'm not willing to take.
Think also of all the illnesses prevented by vaccination which people have forgotten about, such as polio. People have forgotten how bad they were because it's a long time ago.
