@LauraGaynorTV I was watching a doc about them and couldn't believe how they treat their women.It made me sick.The men make all the choices,the girls dress like hookers and parade around waiting to be "grabbed"Absolutely disgusting.If they believe in God they wouldn't be so dishonest and gross.

@sweeneycrewxxx they do happen to have the highest rates of domestic violence in Ireland so it would lead me to believe that they do,not like theres anything wrong with discipline its just that they are really contradicting themselves here
