For the 1st time in Ireland, a mother has been sent to prison for charges of Incest Posted: 10 months ago by Marz
The mother forced her son to have sex with her. But a 101 year old law states that she can only be imprisoned for 7 years, where a man would get life.
Not mentioned in the article is the fact that the children first came to Social workers attention in 1996, but nothing was done until 2000. Even then, they failed to get the children into care More Info (image is of Roscommon court house)

The judge also heard that the children who were shunned at school because they smelled and were covered with lice and fleas, were forced to live in squalor, in a freezing, filthy home, over- run with mice and rats, where there was often no food, no heat and where rubbish was dumped in every room.
That sort of environment is probably more detrimental to their current and future well being than having sex with the mom. Not that having sex with the mother is without any harm, just that their living environment was worse.

It's obviously not a timing issue, it's a 'you people take everything too personally' issue. Life is much easier once you learn to not emotionally force yourself into everything you read. Lots of horrible things happen to a lot of people and it's obviously awful, disgusting,outrageous etc.(whatever fits the situation)When someone (hey Like ME) makes some absurd joke, everyone here should exercise some sort of thought process and realize that it's not a joke trying to make light, or make fun of the issue. It's just a seemingly dumb joke that is in fact making fun of what you are accusing me of. Like I don't know, SATIRE?
I suppose people should learn to shut their brain off before they come to this site. Which is terribly sad because this site has an interesting system down and great links.

I pretty much know what you will all say because I've witnessed you guys cut down other people who tried to employ some sort of 'edgy' sense of humor. That's fine, and it's quite obvious you do it because you are a tight knit community. One that will jump to support certain people no matter how silly and philistine the reaction. The sad part is that you don't seem to learn from said exaggerated reactions. I will jump to assume that you are, for the most part of an older generation than myself. I would say that's fine, but I have a feeling you are some of the same people who are responsible for phenomenons such as renaming Christmas trees 'Holiday trees'. I bet you've also protested the word 'negro' being on the black beans in the international aisle at supermarkets.
Well, have fun wading through life issues with that dash of 'sensitivity' that makes everything just a little more ignorant and obtuse.
I'll just start by down voting myself as soon as this is posted. I also know that this doesn't apply to everyone who is part of this site. I'm sure you know who you are and thanks for not ignoring the development of comedy/humor since 1840. I'm sure if Mark Twain put this in a book you would be wetting yourselves.

quite of lot of 'higher up' plimates bitterly and extensively defend their actions and comments tooth and nail, usually employing sweeping generalizations and grotesque exaggerations about people and plimates, and including exhausted comments about plime's voting and karma system.

like what you just did.

you'll become one of the big boys soon enough.

The likelihood of me continuing to comment on stories is quite low. I won't have actions to defend.
