Of “paiderastia” and paedophilia

So when we were growing up in Ireland of the 70's, we were told to long for a united Ireland - one that would be quite Catholic and Gaelic

In recent years, we were told to rescind all that. Some of us are still deeply confused

There was also the 70's notion that the 26 county state was somehow involved in weakening the moral fiber inculcated by Catholicism. We got over that when we heard what the Catholic Church was really up to between the sheets, and partly as a result of David Norris' brave action against the Irish state, brought in the most liberal age of consent laws possible.

Homosexual sex between an "attractive" adult and 17-years old farmboy is legal in Ireland. They can even proceed to civil union. Unfortunately, as it happens, gays still often end up alone, indeed taking their own lives.

Now, however, we as a nation are asked to distinguish “paiderastia” and paedophilia. Of such cognitive dissonance do backlashes begin


Indeed, those of us confused by the notion of "multiculturalism" and the non-working Nigerian majority in Ireland now have another issue;

This does not apply solely to Nigerians;

We now have two very dark scenarios;

1. Nigerian women are forced to become pregnant, and put on a plane to Ireland just before delivery, at which point they give birth to what was a new citizen (up to 2004)

2. Chinese children are trafficked into Ireland, put into HSE care, escape with the aid of their traffickers, and work as sex slaves

Wait until we get some "vivres-avec" from Haiti...
