Huge Online Supprt For Petition Calling For Sen Mulen's Removal

[The Libertarian]

The Libertarian, you are an absolute cunt and you definitely are not a libertarian.

This pathetic petition that you are promoting here is fundamentallly undemocratic, authoritarian and the worst form of scumbagery. Siliencing people you disagree with is the action of totalitarianism despots that unfortunately rule too many of the world's population today.


Ronan Mullen was democratically elected to Seanad Eireann by the voters of the NUI panel. He received the most votes of the 30 people that stood for the 3 available seats and was the first elected. I think this is his third term as senator. He openly ran on a specific platform and has an absolute duty to fulfill his mandate. And if you don't like it, you can fuck off.

People are allowed in our society to hold opinions that are different to yours. And if they run in elections and win and obey electoral law they are absolutely entitled to serve their electorate.

There will be legalised abortion in Ireland in the near future. The promoters of this meaningless petition should take that win with some dignity and grace and grow the fuck up.

Along with being a Cork Langer, You are one hell of a thick fucking cunt! It's obvious to me from your previous posts with a political slant that you would be a big fan of traditional Irish Politics which have left ordinary Irish Folk in Shit, because our political class are traitors!
Libertarians come in all shapes and sizes can be left or right wing, what unites them is a desire to keep the Government from acting the bollocks in peoples' lives as far as possible!
I know very well that Sen Mullen can realistically only be removed from office in a senate election, but if 50,000 people sign a position asking him to consider his position, he would have to take resigning into consideration!
Let's get this straight and abundantly clear - He along with The Batty Chick (who of course is a great abortion rights activist and has been rejected at Dail Elections on a few occasions) was part of the JOC on prostitution law reform, which made several completely off the wall recommendations and unanimously accepted them, perhaps the most disturbing of which was to legally equate anybody - a punter, curious teenager, sex worker, you, or me, downloading an escort related site such as the one we are on now, with a paedophile downloading scenes of children be raped! And don't forget most escort related sites including this one aren't even pornographic and the person visiting those sights could be looking for safe sex advice, sexual health advice or dangerous punter warnings! This recommendation was so extreme, it wasn't even included by disgraced former minister for justice, Fitzgerald, in the final bill!
Do you think folks who are so out of touch with the reality of the world that they would make/endorse such a proposal, should be public reps? I don't!

I am eligible to vote in Seanad Elections on The NUI Panel, I have never registered, but I will be next time out!

[Zoidberg]

Yes, they should. By public election. Less of the "your one of the boys have a job" style appointments/NUI elections.

Do you understand how the Seanad or Seanad elections work? You seem like the type of person that loves to chip in when they haven't got a clue how things work.

So you didn't bother partaking in your right to vote in the Seanad elections? If you don't vote you have no right in complaining. Your opportunity to change things is at the ballot box not some stupid online petition.

[Meursault]

This Mullen fellow comes across as an ill informed idiot, but ill informed idiots are still entitled to have an opinion. Same with the Iona Institute. They are living in the stone age. But they are still entitled to exist, as ridiculous their whole philosophy or beliefs are.

I believe public representatives should be elected by the public. I know that is not the case with Senators.
Would you care to explain why you think this is working so far ?

That is an absolutely scurrilous accusation you just made. I am not from Cork, and if you ever say so again I will find you and beat the head off you, you dopey ghoul.

[Best Before]

I never asked nor wanted an NUI panel to elect anyone on my behalf.
Not democratic at all. Fuck them wankers.

That's akin to saying, I never asked the people of Kerry to Vote for the Healy Rea's on my behalf

[Cassandra]

Lemme see though,
The apointment to his particular position though, was to represent the public no?
The public have decided he certainly doesn't represent them.
How is this censorship or being denied right to exist?

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence of said speech. Both him and those Iona lot sowed the storm, let them reap the whirlwind.

[Larrii]

We need these stone age types to remind us what we have escaped from.

Never going back.

No politician in the world is going to have the exact same view as a majority of the public on every issue. If an opinion that covers 33% of the population isn't represented by any of our politicians then we are failing to have a representative democracy.

He is entitled to his opinion. He is not entitled to a platform.

He was given a platform via an election. If you want to quibble about the election or the house in general you can do that, but that's not an issue particular to any senator.

I agree the seanad is undemocratic and badly needs to be reformed, I don't agree though that Ronan Mullen should be kicked out of it because of his views. If we do that and start silencing and censoring we just repeat the mistakes of the past, those in power now same as those in power before, animal farm

As I said already he did earn his position by being elected.

The public is made up of individual people with many different opinions.

Siliencing minorities is what happens in totalitarian regimes.

Most senators are appointed, in fairness to Mullen he got himself elected, I agree it shouldn't just be graduates who have a vote, what we need to do is reform the seanad, not just remove Mullen

He was elected to the Seanad, by the alumni of NUI, topped the poll as well I believe

We cannot start calling for people to be removed or fired, every time they disagree with your view. That is what Heinrich Himmler or Stalin did. And I am bipolar, so what Mullen said applies to me more than other people.

Sounds like facism to me, I don't agree with him but he's entitled to his opinions.

Perhaps those that support Mullins should start their own petition asking him to stay in the Seanad despite the objections.
