Insidious

Insidious - I think not .

Invidious - nearer the mark.

I am the first to admit my prejudice. ( hence the ' invidious ' comment )

I am an ordinary citizen in a seriously corrupted society. Where power & influence allows the ' good & the mighty '

to hide the fact that their agents - abused raped & sodomized thousands of Irish children These children's only crime was they were from the working or disenfanchised classes & were powerless both in an economic & political sense.Smart arse comments -

carry little weight in my world . jb.

You should say what you think. Your response betrays a ' religeous' bent . Having been in daily contact with the so called ' religeous ' for almost 14 years -

I sense their sick & perverted logic in your brief comments. Speak up - and let's hear you defend the indefencable. jb.

The message you posted struck a cord and drove me to respond, the word I used summed up every thing I wanted to express about the evil of the situation described. I have no doubt the belligerent high ground you took when responding to my comment is driven by anger, this does not give you the right to be judge.

As a young person inappropriately questioned in the confessional box and as now a grown person, I often wonder if my friends were abused. Words very easily distort the true in the message.

Dear Pardonwhat,

I owe you a profound apology.

I misinterpreted your -one worder-entirely. Just like you - I am incensed over these Church crimes . No other organisation in the world could have got away with what went on in this country . I am an ordinary citizen trying to express my anger but above all my frustration& concern over what happened . I do appreciate that many citizens have very personal & private pain as a result of their dealings with these people . Again my sincere apologies. jb

[pardonwhat]

Accepted.

Anger, hate, fear lead to the dark side, that is how nations eat other nations.

Truth no matter how unpalatable can only lead to enlightenment.

[pardonwhat]

Invidious - containing or implying a slight or showing prejudice

Insidious - Working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner.

nearer the mark.

there was an article in the physical Guardian today about the links between the christian brothers irish nationalism and the government and civil service in Ireland. gerry Adams is an ex pupil

Dear Daytripper,

I fear your logic is correct . The Dubai experiment is tainted with bad Karma . Virtual slave labour from the Indian sub-continent & massive leveraged loans are a formula headed for disaster . The Dubai dream may turn into a nightmare yet. Many thanks for the comments. jb.
