The Vital Nut

Your point was clear.....these gays that are acquiring children tend to be wealthy

and false.  According to the data.

Apologies I have just realised that your quote is about heterosexual couples.

The reason I misread it is it can't be true.

There is no way heterosexual couples in general come from a higher socioeconomic group than homosexual couples,no chance at all.

Your quote has to be a typo.

Upon reflection, I think it makes sense.

When we talk of the power of the pink pound, it is mainly due to a lack of (expensive) children, rather than high flying careers per se.

A lot of gay and lesbians are confined to lower income jobs.  It can be hard to progress in certain working environments because of stigmas etc.

I don't think your average gay guy (or couple) out earns your average straight guy (or couple).  Remember when children enter the equation, as in the quoted studies, the income of a gay couple is ALSO immediately reduced because of parenting responsibilities (i.e maternity leave or its equivalent).

Wildman ..I think its compulsory for a newsreader in Ireland to be gay,that job is reserved for the talentless gays. ..Ann doyle wont be impressed with you Wildman.

They kicked her out and replaced her with a gay but she had a huge Gay following in her time.

Voting no...Agree with this lad  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMukwjJTfA

You've convinced me AJ. What will they want next, Cora Staunton on the Mayo mens team?

Great stuff ACE,   he would make a great G.A.A commentator.

Never knew Ann was gay .........
Talking about the pink pound , I hear theres talk of some American Religious people thinking of focusing on certain things they don't agree with , by having what are in effect , boycotts of certain firms or companies they feel are pro  , good as you ..Makes a lot of sense really , the Religious pound might be the way to go , Good as yous use this tactic to good effect ...

Anne was a tri-sexual...she would try anything.  Worked her way through the countries elite.

Ozy ,I'm surprised at you , no need for that ...She has a family too you know , a little respect for Gods sake ....

Anne wouldn't give two hoots, great craic.

A rather strange statement Ozy , considering she never was openly gay , she never struck me as been one who didn't carewhat people thought of her , she seemed as if she'd minded very much , otherwise why not declare herself ...?

She wasn't gay, I told you, she was tri-sexual.

Enlighten me please...Not sure exacrly what that means...?

Open minded.

...We are must be tri so.....

A good lady at her job was Anne, im not sure if she would be a Jesus nut as Wildman would say.

I didn't have you down as bisexual, Wonks, I have to admit.  Fair play.

Its the first thread I have had with no removals,I think the opening post confused the Betfair cowards,expect more cryptic posts.

Not liking the in your face campaigning...don't believe in children being raised by two men/women...No problem with them per se but this rights sh*t is head wrecking...Its ok for them to express an opinion but not ok for anyone else to differ...A definite no from me...My wife agrees with me for once and alot of people I've been talking to are voting no to...Could be closer than what many people think!

I thing there will be no more then 55% turn out, the yes will get 65% ,I have a problem with 2gay men rearing children not so much 2gay women, AS you say head wrecking, Still dont know how i will vote, but it looks like a yes vote at this stage.

I have a problem with a lot of the Wayne and Waynettas raising kids, but given a choice I don't think I would choose to vote to deny them the right to be Parents.

Two of my daughters best friends[women] from University are in a union for 8years now, They never forget my daughters 2children [birthdays and christmas] there are 2 of the kindest people you could meet  and would make great Parents, i feel you are most likely correct Ozy.

Kinda off the point but there is a 79 year old man the local i am drinking going out with a lad in his mid 30's and they're openly kissing at times.

Rocketfingers I always knew you were a child of the fifties just didnt realise you were a teenager at the start of the fifties.

Fair play to you though for getting a young bloke but would wager he's an asylum seeker and will mosey as soon as he gets that European passport.

Sorry wildclown this ship only sails straight

Tbh i must admit i did not like to see it but i would probably just as much frown on a man and a woman kissing, i know when the little lady asks for a kiss in a crowded pub i am reluctant to give her it as i think there are a lot of people who don't want to see that rubbish.

It will all go pear shaped.................

Marriage in the true family tradition has been done over by capitalism, now this.

Are they not men after all, really....Whinging whinging

State license..end off.

Pecker, we all know you are something of a guru and very well up with all things business.

Just wondering what you would make of the CEO of Apple, the biggest PLC in the world by Market Cap, Tim Cook, saying;

"I'm proud to be gay and consider being gay amongst the greatest gifts God has given me" (geez, the guy must really love ass)".

How do you feel abut a whinging non-man running such a big, important company?  Would you be comfortable with him taking the rudder at say, Ladbrokes?

people on the NO side are being hounded into silence by the intolerant liberal bully-boys

David Quinn in the Indo said he cannot remember a more intimidating referendum atmosphere such are the YES side tactics

Freddiek , I have a feeling that sanity will prevail and a resounding No vote will emerge...

Oz he may be the CEO in the world but will never give birth, not even to a little pervert.

Opening post removed,lasted longer than most.

It was in no way offensive,I spoke about the Jesus nut in order to circumvent the censorship here,they didnt realise at first that it was favouring a no vote in the referendum.

The latest opinion poll is 78% to 22% in favour,that's some gap the propaganda is working.
The result however will be much closer.
Every political party,all media outlets and all celebrities baying for a yes vote,any proponent of the no side subject to fear of being arrested result few ( I'm an exception ) prepared to publicly support a no.
They will sneak into polling booths and nervously vote no making it much tighter than the intolerant liberal elite think.

I'm an exception ) prepared to publicly support a no.

Gosh, you are so brave standing up against the Quaaars!  Are you stripped to the waist with a pitchfork? Wons an

Who cares how tight or otherwise the result is as long as right is done and gay love can be celebrated as hetrosexual love is rather than being discriminated against.

And remember, Honk if you are Horny!

Ozy ,not matter how the vote goes , you know your lot will NEVER be equal .............

lol at this one!

the next Mrs. Wildmanfromborneo imo

One thing this referendum has shown is there is no balance in Irish Media, every single outlet inhabited by liberal trinity college student union types trying to enlighten the population with their 5hit

btw i'd love to see it fail just to see the liberal media journos faces

Heard a good one tonight Racingqueen , how do you go about getting a job in Montrose , firstly you have to go through a lot of shyte....

Brilliant, Wonks!

Ozy another tough day for you today I see , stamina is your strong  suit ,no doubt about it , from dawn till dusk ...What a life you poor thing...

If only you knew how good, Wonks, if only you knew!!

Any other good jokes?  Some obvious basic ones about dropping soap in the shower, maybe?

Fergus Finlay was on Newstalk claiming to be representing children for yes.

I was hoping for Ivan Yates to fillet the snake in the grass instead we got the oh so politically correct Chris Donoghue asking questions that were so sycophantic it was embarrassing.

Is it right for the well paid chiefs of children's charities to take it on themselves to call for a yes vote.
They then have the nerve to say it has nothing to do with children just equality.

Its outrageous but no one does anything about conflicts of interest in Ireland.

Got a lovely heart-warming photo from some friends in Sweden that I wanted to share with you;  Lars and Jonas with Baby Erik.

Since 2003, gay and lesbian couples can adopt children in Sweden, and lesbian couples have had equal access to IVF and assisted insemination since 2005 (this also includes the right of single LGBT persons to adopt).

No signs of society falling apart thus far.  Aren't they a cute family?

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

A happy photo it fair to say Ozy.

We will only see the damage inflicted on that childs psyche in decades to come.

The Quaars would want to shut Marcus "respect" Fehily up. Boot the soapbox out from under him.

uh Colm O'Gorman on now promoting a yes vote. Hopefully the public see through him and his nauseating pulpit lecturing and get a few over for the no side

Keith mills gay man advocating a no vote comes across a lot more genuine than o Gorman. Very hard to like o Gorman.

O'Gorman is someone whose whole career is based on milking misery.

O Gorman seems to have brought some cheerleaders in the audience too.

Nauseating grandstanding and aggressiveness from the Yes side.....

Keith Mills comes across extremely well.

The first blondie one that spoke in the audience was a psycho...raised by two women...enough said. VOTE NO

Its on RTE.
Its based in Dublin.

Ye hardly thought it would be fair.

I wonder would anyone dare question the dubious way OGorman procured "" his " children.

Wish they asked the first blond in the audience where her father was??!

Nos are doing well here, Yes talkers professional victims in Mullaly and O'Gorman may put off alot of people

O'Gorman turning his back nauseating

seems to be alot of gays voting no.......just shows its all a liberal agenda not a gay one

This is not a debate this is a rally.the whooping and a hollering for every yes point indicative of this.

Wonder does Colm breast feed his kids?

If I were a don't know, colm o Gorman would definitely sway my vote. To the NO side. What a bitter man.

Mullaly thinks we should care about what childrens charities say who the f**k would listen to ar5eholes like Fergus Finlay!?!?

Now shes spouting about leaving her personal life bare......shes more than happy to spout her liberal guff  on a daily basis in the media. She can shove your personal life up your whole

1/12 yes 11/2..Anyone else think those odds are way off?

Whats the handicap?

id love to see a no vote, when you think of the issues facing this country and LABOUR think Gay marraige is a priority

Who do the Yes side think they are...They should all just thank their lucky stars they aren't living in Russia..Putin would soon sort them out

The odds are right.

Every political party,every newspaper,every radio station,every TV station in favour.
The Catholic Church afraid to give guidance,some of its leaders in the yes camp.

The No campaign has no chance but the margin won't be like the polls are saying it will be much lower because the Irish people will sneak into the polling booths and vote no.

The Premier Fantasy line " if two people love each other " is pathetic as a state doesn't give a damn if ye love each other,it wants order and wants fathers to look after their children which is why marriage came about.

spot on wildman

Seems like The Quaaaaaaarrrrsss have you on the run.  There are some of you on here frothing at the mouth at the mere thought of equal rights.  Unbelievable backwardness!

I've kept really quiet, but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimation when he said that - we have not resorted to that. But I'll tell ya - you can tell him now if you're watching it - we're still fighting for this title, and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something, and... and I tell you honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!

More misrepresentation its not about equal rights its about redefining marriage.

As an aside do you believe in equality ?

I looked up the date of the referendum, Neil I figured it must be next week...not till the 22nd.....whats this place going to be like in the week leading up to it?

Some lads will be retiring on the 11/2 if they can get around enough shops.

Read my post of 23.51

The no side know they are beaten,just trying to reduce the margin.

I believe in love, Borneo.

Just look at my new avatar...let no man put asunder what is a beautiful, stable family unit.  That's the dream that men like Graham Norton and Daniel O'Donnell can not only marry but also contribute to society by becoming loving, caring Fathers.

Putting 20% on one's net worth and saving the country..... can it get any better?

LOL

DO'D says: "ah here now..."

Daniel ODonnell is married whether its a lavender marriage or not is nothing to do with me.

I'm surprised at you coming up with the Premier Fantasy line "if two people love each other " that's just sentimental nonsense.
A state doesn't care if ye love each other,it wants order and marriage brings that order.
It has been under attack for sometime but its still worthwhile.

Has a minority group ever had so much power in this country as the pride parade?

Every party climbing over themselves to satisfy them. All the ministers on floats the pride parades (Disgusting events imho)

When you think of the issues facing people in this country, the government think Gay marriage and the age of the president are priority issues......cannot wait to see Labour wiped out in next election.

They have that unreal look about them , nither man nor woman , one trying to be the other....

This referendum will sadly be passed but do ye honestly think the gay lobby will stop there.

Next up polygamy and the terrible plight of bi sexuals who love both a man and a woman,how long til Premier Fantasy comes out with the line " if three people love each other "

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

wildman, whole gay marriage thing has been hijacked by liberals......their next project (Already in train) will be abortion

Oh no not Abortion in Ireland, much easier to send the girls across the water

Its their choice to go across the water, they could always take responsibility for their actions and actually raise the child.......nah the young Irish don't do that.....blame everyone else.

In this day and age how so many Women have unwanted pregnacies is beyond believe , unprepared for the inevitable after a nights drinking etc is simply unforgivable ...

ever hear of having free choice racing queen?

Ludicrous question you don't have free choice to do what you like.

Q: What's the worst thing about locking yourself out of your car outside an Abortion Clinic?


A: Having to go in and ask for a lend of a coat hanger.

ever hear of having free choice racing queen?

Not when a 3rd person the unborn child doesn't. If society can't even defend its most voiceless citizens, it isn't a society.

im against abortion per se but im pro choice..and i agree with workrider re irresponsibility of sexually active young people..but we have swept this under the carpet for long enough..either legislate for it or not..

somebody seems obsessed with me, was not even in the country for the weekend let alone on here and he has mentioned me in 3 of his posts, good to know i am so important to you

The irony is his posts mentioning you and the frequency of them would probably be classed as homoerotic.

Your classic fluffy line " if two people love each other " is worthy of comment and sums up your shallow mind.

When this referendum is won the Gay lobby won't go away they will demand bisexuals be allowed have one of each,Premier will chime in with
    " if three people love each other "

oh dear, how embarrassing

the nauseating tactics of the @rse-bandit brigade will hopefully ensure a high NO vote on the day. even a 40-45% no would show that there is a lot of opposition to their agenda and they will have to tread carefully.

Shame you need 50%+ to win a referendum so NeedieK
