so the news recently here is dominated by the tuam, galway home for women who were pregnant out of wedlock (with illegitimate babies) and sent there by their parents and their parish to have their babies in secrecy. when the babies and children died, nearly 800, the management at the home dumped their bodies in an unmarked grave, a septic tank!!
heres a video

When did that happen? Its barbaric.
-
it happened between 1920s an 1960s at that location. some of these places were still running in the last 20 years. and theres so many of them. fairly sure everyone in Ireland was touched by these events and loads of others. its no wonder we can't lift our heads up as much as we should.
heres a little poem that a bloke I know wrote. some of you may know him
Suffer Little Children
Illegitimate Children, illegal from the start, unwanted and disposed of,
unworthy of the graveyard!
The presumption of innocence, did not apply to these,
Suffer little Children to come unto me!
The children of a sinner, who had sinned through poverty,
Had no right to human caring, or no human dignity,
They were baptised in the water, and were drowned in misery,
Suffer Little Children to come unto me.
Suffer Little Children, now you're born in slavery,
Your innocence is tainted, and your spirit it is guilty,
I sentence you to torture for all eternity,
Suffer Little Children to come unto me!
Suffer little Children to come unto me,
The last mocking words of a paedophile priest,
Or the Sisters of rape and Cruelty,
In a makeshift, unmarked cemetery!
Suffer Little Children to come unto me,
For thine is the path of misery,
Endless for eternity!
My hungry Flock must feed!

Its difficult to understand things like that happening, in what is a short time ago. Ireland fascinates me. Well the little I know about it. Beautiful country, fascinating a talented people but theres always an impressiom I get of a dark underside to it. Hope Im not speaking out of turn. In England we did similar and kids were abandoned. Its the septic tank burial I just cant get my head round. Its almost medieval

Oh, ******* hell, that's bad...

the church never really evolved. it just adapted. like any parasite - always underestimated by their victim
I going to bump the where would you live thread ;)

"Illegitimate" never liked that word to describe someone. Like they ever had a choice. That's ya bloody religion again.
-
I can understand illegitimate being used in the last century. It doesnt make it right but I suppose it is a different time and the world has changed. I just cant accept that a place supposed to be a refuge by supposedly good people could ever think any god would look at it as acceptable. Sadists getting a power trip over the weak and justifying it in G(g)ods name :'(
-
I blame the parents for failing to protect their children in favour of their respect in society. these services were obviously conceived for all to be safe but as with so many establishment sponsored institution it gets hijacked by cunts
estimates are running at 7000 for these institutions alone
wait until they take the lid off a little further
