You asked me why I insisted on responding, I told you why I responded. To not allow exaggerated nonsense to just exist unchallenged.
I used humor in my response. My use of a joke highlighted the absurdity and overblown nature of the original commenters statement and made a reader think exactly what does someone mean by "path to having a family". In actual fact, other people on this page are claiming it's too easy to have a family in Ireland what with all the free housing and welfare. So I'm pointing out the absurdity of the position, especially when it's just blasted out as fact without anything to back it up.
