		<description>While touring Pinterest I saw Laura&#039;s album pix. Such a surprise in 2012! But it took me back to my sweet sixteen in my Bronx apartment. When laura using the cool glazed sounding of the tiles in my bathroom;and all of us &quot; music and &quot; as many as could fit in  listening ..transfixed as she sang the most gorgeous rendition of &quot;amazing grace&quot;!. What a gift that was. And a gift to think of it today.49years later.</description>

		<description>The last queen of England died some 300 years ago so I rather doubt you met her. The person in the photographs looks like the queen of the UK. Perhaps it was she that you met?</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;What bothers me even more is when men’s magazines profile actresses like Natalie Portman or Scarlette Johanssen and convey shock that the women are beautiful AND smart...&quot;-Clare&lt;/b&gt;

Ok, how is Scarlette Johanssen smart?Didn&#039;t she date much-too-old Sean Penn? Ewww. I guess a girl has got to experiment SOMEWHERE.</description>

		<description>@The Compulsive Writer, PAZ is not beautiful in the LEAST. She looks...strange. Her fake breasts look strange. Her lip implants look strange. I saw her in Boardwalk &amp; WAS NOT impressed. How did she get the part on the show? Did she sleep with Scorsese to get it? I&#039;ve been curious because her acting is terrible. She&#039;ll be the next Paris Hilton. And we ALL know how that SEXY career went.</description>

		<description>I personally can&#039;t see anything racist about the below comments, ones that you chose to represent the extent of the racism you saw on this page.

The country barely has a pot to piss in yet they are probably spending millions of taxpayers money on this group of people to be shacked up in mosney - John Clarke, Artane.

The Irish Government gave away a great amenity when they gave Mosney Holiday Camp to asylum seekers without any consultation with the Irish people – Anne Donnelly.

What about the normal irish person out of work now with kids that need a summer holiday we should have it back to ourselfs now and let them look after themselfs – Michael Murphy, Limerick.</description>

		<title>Comment on Should Ireland Have a Minister for The Status of Women? by CharlesP</title>

		<description>I agree entirely with much of what Eleanor has written. My only reservation is the use of `Equality&#039; (presumably with men), as a goal. There are some men in Irish society who are similarly oppressed and disadvantaged and there are many others who women would not wish to have `equality&#039; with. (I&#039;ll leave that to your imaginations).
I would suggest a far more desirable and realistic goal would by &#039;the Freedom to make choices in all aspects of their lives, and the inhindered opportunities to pursue those choices&#039;.

Yes Ireland would greatly benefit from having a Minister for Women. Unsurprisingly it would also greatly benefit those majority of men in Irish society who hold no prejudices and biases against women but are often the silent majority. Australia has made significant steps forward since the creation of this position, especially in the area of protecting Australian women and children by the minority of aggressive violent men. Violence and abuse of women and children has reached epidemic proportions in Australia and has long been a cultural norm. The present Australian Family Laws give considerable protections and advantages to violent and selfish men and such laws are severely applied against women and children by the male-dominated and patriarchalist Family Courts. Many children and mothers have lost their lives in Revenge Killings because men with violent and criminal pasts are enabled by such laws to demand their `Rights&#039;. Family Laws in the UK and Ireland tend to similarly favour such violent men and the UK Parliament are currently considering increasing the Rights of such violent men even further under a euphemistic guise of `Shared Parenting&#039;. 
Such men who fight for their `Rights&#039; under Shared Parenting&#039; laws have also killed, abused, and threatened Judges, lawyers, politicians, journalists, psychiatrists, CAFCASS officers, and Court Reporters and it now looks as though the UK Parliament will increase their `Rights&#039; to do so. They already rule the Family Courts by instilling fear into all of those involved.</description>

		<description>The male V fe+male mindset was created by patriarchy to divide and rule and is clearly doing a fine job.

Just remember back when Eire- before the Vatican boys came- where men and women were equal and lived harmoniously together.

We had a lot less rules, regulations, then and womb+men were not slotted into the same pigeon hole as children- deeming them not full adults and human beings.

Fast forward 2012 and the training for family law judges etc- trains ALL WOMEN TO BE SEEN AS FEEBLE MINDED.

I bless the male who shared this with me, for it took me days to get my head around it, then I remembered 1995, when women were deemed witches in court proceedings and all their property removed- in secret of course- but the physical proof exists for anyone who wants to see.

When clarification was sought on the matter- Strong women = Witches and the role of the system in Catholic Eire is to keep these women in their place.

So would caring women really want to be part of the present patriarchal system working from their male energy only rather than their balanced fe+male?

Are we asking fe+males to become males in thought word and deed?

So why not males become whole fe+male - balanced rather than only using one side of their humanity?

It is the males who need to become equal to the fe+males.</description>

		<description>what law of physics can explaine how a constant direction horizonal solar wave can cause a vertical wall of light in an electromagnetic field? its more logical that their water molicules are lit by refracted light from a melting glacier face from reflected sunlight from the water in front.</description>
