1st QUESTION
Are you willing to accept that what the Independent Referendum Commission said that regardless of a YES or a NO vote in there will be no constitutional right to surrogacy for anyone?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
YES, surrogacy is a can of worms that should not be approached, let alone opened.
2nd QUESTION
Are you against surrogacy in all instances?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
YES. I repeat: surrogacy is a can of worms that should not be approached, let alone opened.
3rd QUESTION
Is it not up to our Parliamentarians to bring about a robust law against surrogacy?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Of course. and it is up those who are against surrogacy to advise and warn our parliamentarians against legalising surrogacy.
4th QUESTION
Do you have a problem with gay people?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
No.
5th QUESTION
Do you believe it is natural to be gay?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Yes, one must never underestimate the attractions of purely recreational sex. Children are an expensive drain on one's income and take up much of our time. I completely understand why LGBTs would prefer their kind of sex to the kind of sex straight people have, which results in the conception and birth of those pesky expensive messy things we need to bring up properly: the next generation.
An ancient once said "Don't have children, they may turn out to be bad. If they are good you will fear to lose them."
6th QUESTION
And that is as God intended?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
It has been said that God if He exists intends to try us with temptation to see if we are fit for heaven.
7th QUESTION
What did you mean when you tweeted "Who's the father?" when one of our presenters who is a lesbian announced she was pregnant?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
I meant "Who's the father?" Is this very difficult to understand?
8th QUESTION
Would you ever ask a single mother "Who's the father?"
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
If it was appropriate, certainly.
9th QUESTION
Would you ask a straight couple who went through IVF "Who's the father?"
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
If it was appropriate to do so, certainly.
10th QUESTION
Would you ever ask an Irish couple who had adopted a child from abroad "Who's the father?"
If it was appropriate, certainly.
11th QUESTION
Do you have a problem with IVF?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Yes, Ireland as a nation has no need for IVF. This practice is in any case dysgenic and no infertile person should be given assistance to sexually reproduce if they cannot do so naturally.
12th QUESTION
Were you wrong to oppose divorce two decades ago?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Yes. The Koran actually has a chapter on divorce. If Muslims are allowed divorce, then why should Christian Irishmen and Irishwomen deprive themselves of the escape of divorce when their marriage has broken down irretrievably?
13th QUESTION
Have you been guilty of scaremongering?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
What have I said would you say makes me guilty of scaremongering?
14th QUESTION
Do you not think the mental health of gay children is relevant?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Relevant to what?
15th QUESTION
Do you understand that gay children are listening to this?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Are you saying that gay children are having gay sex with each other? This is something their parents should be putting to a stop to, whatever happens to gay marriage. Does Newstalk have a significant child audience? I had no idea.
Who are these gay children you keep referring to? The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety should be informed of these gay children having gay sex and their lack of parental supervision.
16th QUESTION
Your column joked about two straight men getting married to get a tax break. What have you to say about that?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
I was merely speculating on the possibility of this happening in Ireland. Did I say something wrong?
17th QUESTION
Could a straight man and a straight woman get married for a joke today?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
This is in theory possible.
18th QUESTION
Has it crossed your mind that Ireland could be a better place if gay people could marry the people they loved?
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER
Gay people can already have sex and move in with each other without a marriage certificate so gay people should leave marriage to couples who are capable of sexual reproduction with each other, and mind their own business.
Let me assure you of this though: the moment gay people are capable of sexual reproduction with each other I will be the first to support gay marriage.
No, Ireland will not become a better place if the Irish turn the institution of marriage into a gay sex toy because marriage was created for the purpose of rearing the next generation in optimum conditions and gay people are more interested in having recreational sex with each other than in rearing the next generation. Giving marriage to gay people as a sex toy to play with is like giving boxer shorts to a woman or a maternity bra to a man: nonsensical and unnecessary. What will happen is that Ireland will become a more irrational country with a decreasing and degenerate population whose main practice is to desecrate the institution of marriage. No good will come of this.
19th QUESTION
Is it not time to live and let live?
WHAT THE ANSWER SHOULD HAVE BEEN
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Muslims make a point of enjoining good and forbidding evil, which is a better way of living than just going with the flow and letting everything hang out, as Catholic clergy are now proposing to do. To tamper with the delicate mechanism of marriage would harm any society because marriage is what brings about social cohesion and stability as well as the continuity of our traditions and the preservation of our achievements.
Legalising gay marriage is legalising what should be a sexual offence and all members of society will suffer when what should remain a crime is legalised.
