        Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It’s lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain’t one of them.

            Man ass is verifiably less offensive to religious types than any part of a woman being visible.

              I’d churn my own butter at the sight of a woman’s bare ankle bone. Best to just punish women for that. It’s impossible to control my own urges.

                Because Catholicism.

                Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn’t have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can’t make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that’s where the whole ‘being gay is sinful’ bit comes from

                Because they find gay sex unappealing, seems to be the main reason. If you point out that that is simply because they’re not gay, they are unable to understand the point.

                It’s the enjoying part that is frowned upon. They assume everyone loves seeing boobs so they must be punished for that. A bare man ass is comical at best for most. If they thought people were enjoying it they must be punished

          I don’t think you’ve been to Ireland in a long long time if you think the church has any moral or real power over society as a whole here.

      Might read past the headline.

      Another “very drunk” woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man

      One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone

      Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.

        I’m not saying it was a good thing to do, but once you have that idea, it becomes an irresistible temptation. The 9/11 one, although I guess it might be true of the other one, too.

            That doesn’t really seem very equivalent. The closest equivalence I can think of is either the terrorism of the founding fathers, which is too far back to really strike the same chord, or maybe like, american drone strikes or something. Or, maybe if I was feeling particularly cheeky, I might compare it to the violence enacted by the civil rights movement, since that was also a domestic american liberation movement maybe comparable to the IRA, but, I dunno. not really any american style equivalence there.

              Super Sweet

              Tell me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is without telling me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is.

                …Irish car bombs have Bailey’s Irish Cream and possibly coffee liqueur in them. Many people would say that’s a pretty sweet drink.

                You sure you’re not thinking of an Irish Boilermaker? That’s just a beer with Irish whiskey.

                  I think this is a regional thing, as you just made me doubt myself.

                  I’ve ordered car bombs here in the Midwest and it’s always been whiskey and a stout. I don’t know if I’d call anything with just coffee liqueur in it a “car bomb” that’s not a very strong drink.

                  A quick Wikipedia check says it can be either Irish cream or whiskey, and that the names are somewhat interchangeable.

                    Irish carbomb is a glass of Guinness and half a shot of Jameson Irish whiskey and half a shot of bailey’s Irish creme. Drop the shot in and chug the delicious concoction.

                  Wow, you’re pleasant.

                  See, where I’m from, a carbomb is a cocktail made from beer and hard liquor. We’ve got Chicago carbombs/handshakes which is Malort and Old Style. I’ve even had a Mexican carbomb with tequila and Modelo.

                  Coffee liqueur and beer isn’t really a thing where I’m from, in the heart of corn country. So you’re the one drinking milk shakes at the bar as far as I’m concerned.

                  Maybe instead of being a dick to people because of where they happen to live, you could try to learn about cultural and regional differences.
