hence the quotes

people will eat up content they hate for weeks before they'll listen to rational discussion.

:'(

It's true

It would be nice if we had a lot more of this process talking about the citizens assembly recommendations, and how it came to them, instead of waffle on posters.

That would be too grown up I guess.

Some horrorshow on Claire Byrne Live last night with their Referendum Debate. Christ, like the comments section of the Journal.ie come to life. Scary stuff.

 

[Unicron]

I don't know why anyone who is firmly in one camp would even watch it, that kind of hate watch isn't good for you

 

[chris d]

Wouldn't be going near it. By twitter the audience were booing and hooting during it? Sounds dignified.

Please let all those marriage referendum youngsters fly back again to vote.

Just watched it on youtube. Like an episode of Jerry Springer, without the participants physically fighting.

It was horrendous, but it's made me very worried for the result. The misinformation went largely unchecked, the production team handled it terribly.

In fairness, who could have foreseen that Irish people having a debate on abortion would turn into a shouting hate-fest?

Some seriously insane vote no religious posters appearing in my area now. About 5 minutes reading on them.

*tasteless joke

That's good for Yes though. Most people who are wavering won't want to be associated with that shite, and it'll push them the other way

I gotta say the same about those 'stop policing my body' posters - I think they're counter-productive for the Yes side. If you're wavering between sympathising with distressed women and sympathising with almost-babies, those posters' bolshie kinda tone is just gonna be irritating and could well push you the other way too

agree. The militancy of the Yes side gets on my goat sometimes. This 'demanding to be heard', while understandable, is not going to be very palatable to people who are in any way moderate. The empathy approach ('Sometimes a private matter needs public support' being my personal favourite) will be far more effective.

And while I can respect (but respectfully disagree) with many who are going to vote No, those running the No campaigns are a bunch of evil, lying cunts. How they haven't been called out over their lies and distortion of facts, is disgusting.

Bringing herself to school this morning. And we get to where all the posters are (beside the school funny enough) and she says "daddy I keep getting adverts for abortion when I'm watching youtube" I asked her were they yes or no ads. And of course they are no. Oh,shes twelve,and watching appropriate videos.


I actually watch a fair bit of crap on YouTube myself,and so far have not seen any ads. Maybe they don't care about people who are into guitars.

Does she use an ad blocker? I don't see those ads either
