My aunt in law was going off about this at Thanksgiving... after a bit of a discussion and some articles, thankfully she's one of the few that can admit she was wrong.

The one point that really got her was when I asked for proof, and she didn't have any, and then I asked if she honestly thought, in this day and age, if some kid was dropping a deuce in the middle of class in a litter box that we wouldn't have a shit load of pictures/video?

It's still so amazing the stupid shit people default believe with zero evidence.

I really hope you said "dropping a deuce" in family conversation!

But yeah it's a good point. Everything is filmed these days... Even a student just meowing would be all over tik tok in a minute.

Oh yeah, it's my second favorite way to describe pooping, it's only topped by "I gotta get something down on paper".

I've seen random ass pics on Reddit from multiple angles, pretty sure some kid shitting in box during Biology would be on r/trashy and r/PublicFreakout multiple times. You know if there was even a shred of proof Fox would have ran that story 24/7 for about a month.

You want to know where all this kids identifying themselves as cats started from?

If the students are in need of restroom during a lockdown due to an active shooter, protocol is that the teachers are to have a bucket of kitty little on hand if have the need to relieve themselves. Ironically, the school district that right wingers mistook this issue from and locked their culture war weapon sights on to blast at is the same one where Columbine High School is located.

How many times are people going to fall for this?

Anytime a new article blows up like this with key words I do a google search but gradually reduce the time period of the results to the OP article.

A careful operation.

Contrast that too your average facebook user who keeps being fed reposts and shares to infinity. Even if the earth is hit by radiation blasts rendering all internet and computers damaged people are still going to repeat this going into the next stone age.

At some point in the rebuilt future. Civilizations will consider it luxury to dress as cats and defecate in front of each other.

I'd love to hear that phone call.

"And just what the fuck do you expect us to do about it?"

The person who did could be charged with. Incitement to hatred. Child endangerment. Rilling up the head the balls. The last one is not yet a crime in Ireland but it's the first on the list to added once I'm in charge.

Here's a perfect example of the line about how "a lie has made it halfway around the world while the truth is still tying its shoes." This idiocy probably started in some grandma's Facebook account in Nebraska and now it's made it over to Ireland.

Could be worse. At least these Irish kids don't identify as sheep or priests. ;-)
