This day 25 years ago – 24 November 1995 – Irish voters approved by referendum an amendment to the constitution which lifted a ban on divorce.
It was the narrowest voting margin in the history the state, with 50.28% opting for ‘Yes.’
The difference was fewer than 9,200 votes. pic.twitter.com/9tqvx17ytp

The rot set in soon after.
FIGHT!
Did that amendment for foreign divorce being recognized go through in the end ?
Asking for a friend? ;)
(sorry if that’s being too cheeky)
lol nope me, I got a nasty surprise when I heard it may not be recognized there lately :)
I thought as much. Can’t imagine that was a pleasant experience at all.
nope :)
“Wife swapping sodomites” good times
Ireland has one of the lowest rates of divorce in the EU. In 2015 (last year i can find full data) we came lowest (0.7 per 1000; EU average was 1.9);
We are mid-table relating to marriage with a crude rate of (4.6/1000; EU average 4.4).

…er Cian…have you not deduced yet that the divorce referendum was not about divorce…nor was the same sex marriage referendum or the pro-choice outcome…
It was about the Great Reset, vote rigging in Pennsylvania and the plandemic… A crucial but underappreciated step

am I doing it right now?
Yeah just try to link any old two pieces of muck together as well. Don’t worry about logic or evidence. Start from asserting something is the case and work your way back finding anything that slightly backs it up. And when someone casts doubt or points out the flaws in your theory just resort to the golden 3.
1). They are too stupid to understand.
2). They are naive and believe everything they are told.
3). Turn logical argumentation on its head and instead if you trying to prove your point/theory is true, insist that they must prove that your point/theory is not true.
Then go back to thinking the world is this ultra interesting place full of conspiracy and actors with hidden ulterior motives that are successfully able to effect them and not makes a complete balls of things as per usual.
This will also underline how special you are as one of the only ones that can see through all the smoke and mirrors and fantastical secret ploys.
…I have to grudgingly admit that the ‘bye bye Daddy’ campaign was brilliant…not as good as ‘get your rosaries of my ovaries’ though…
I can’t read the word “Daddy” anymore without thinking of the hub.
You are all sick individuals.
You’re dead right. I’ll get the rosary beads out and put in a word with the big man Himself.
I will have you know I am as Catholic as they cum
As the actress said to the Bishop…
