Well it turns out at least 9 are dead, so I feel a little bad about posting that. But the point was that I’d never heard a curb called a “kerb” before and never heard jumping one referred to as “mounting.”

That’s something I never thought I’d see, at least not in my lifetime.

Perhaps the bar is pretty low for apologies from famous men these days, but Bateman’s is actually one of the better and more earnest ones I’ve read over the past nine months—namely because it is an actual apology and expression of horror/embarrassment over his extreme (and self-described) fuck up, not a mere explanation or dismissal.

So that’s a good thing. What’s not is that Walter—and countless other women—have had to deal with this cycle of torment and apology and supposed rehabilitation at all.

And wasn’t the George Bush Sr. apology basically his spokespeople’s veiled way of saying that he has dementia now?

That Guardian link is borderline unreadable. I clicked it first and had to give up and click the bbc link to see what actually happened.

Good for Ireland, welcome to civilization.

Shouldn’t this go in politics though?

I’m not surprised. A lot of people in non-American 1st world countries are a lot more liberal than their laws would have you believe. Australia only recently legalized gay marriage, just a few months ago, even though their population was largely in favor of it.

Divorce, adultery (as long as it’s heterosexual), greed, alcoholism, and some others are “sins” that are often much more easily forgiven in fundamentalist circles. At least they are in the US, so I’m assuming it probably goes for other places too.

The Guardian link is more a live timeline - with links to the more traditional format of news stories on the right, with links to breaking events on the left.

Maybe it could go in the Politics thread - though from a UK/Irish perspective I’d say this is more news than politics.
 

For far, far too long many from Ireland have had to resort to come to mainland Britain to be able to receive an abortion - often young women scared, alone, with no emotional support - sometimes without the knowledge of their families and even friends, scraping enough together money for the travel etc.

The whole situation was ridiculous and cruel.

Well in to the people of the Republic of Ireland - and those who made this referendum happen.
 

Hopefully Northern Ireland will soon follow suit…

For the last 23 years anyone has been able to get a divorce in Ireland.

I think my point is that it will become a political discussion here on this forum, regardless of UK/Irish perspective.
