Like the old joke: Sick man - 'quick, I need to go to a hospital' Bystander - 'Oh my god, what is it'? Sick man - 'It's a big white building with lots of beds in it but that's not important right now'!
But the South of Germany is beautiful, Galway is..........well, dark and dreary.....
What am I attracted to? Women who have had a hard life and have basically given up on the idea of finding happiness and will settle for anything at all...
It's very hard to argue with someone so evasive....... I said you didn't condemn the murder, you've just admitted you haven't condemned it, people will make up their own minds about that....which is what I want them to do.
I understand how you feel Britain has no right to be 'in' Ireland (which it's not of course but anyway.......) all that concerns me is your support for terrorism, nothing else!
You're far too clever to explicitly say 'violence is the answer' of course you're never going to say that!! How foolish that would be! No, you just propagandise for the people who are carrying out the violence, that's all.
You're condoning violence, that's clear from your posts.
You should in all conscience tell the authorities where you live that you are a supporter of terrorists in NI, that would be important as the dissidents would love to bomb mainland Britain and the only reason they haven't up to now is they aren't strong enough. It's not up to anyone else to do it you have to decide that for yourself.
A civil war probably would effect you more than me...on balance I agree with you there, still don't know why you'd want to start one though.
I have read the GFA and as your quote shows there has to be consent within both states (a majority) for unity. The vote in the north would not be for unity, you surely can't be so unrealistic as to think otherwise. The dissidents would continue what they are doing because they dont' accept the GFA or any poll it might provide for. So the problems remains, their campaign would go on!
I've caught you out!! You have competely ignored the point I raised. The GFA does NOT provide for the type of poll on an all-island basis that you said you wanted earlier in this thread, therefore you are wrong, plain and simple.
It must be great to live in the Alice in Wonderland world you live in where words can mean anything you want them to mean! Once again I have to point out to you that it is you not me who are supporting the only people using violence in the North, and yet you claim that I support violence! It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
Why don't you go somewhere like Bosnia where there are plenty of fanatics itching to slaughter one another? Oh no I forgot, you're more comfortable in England!
There are some in the Orange Order like you describe but there are many decent people too. The GAA didn't always make a positive contribution either with its ban on security force members and so on.
You are always squirming around trying to find justification to support terror in the North, now you're telling me that it's ok to kill someone in the north because the Brits are killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan! That sort of moral relativism is repulsive, the killing in the north last week was wrong, pure and simple.
The poll you keep talking about would not be enough to satisfy extreme republicans because it would not be an all Ireland vote with all the people on the island voting as one. They would reject it for the same reason they rejected the GFA.
I can't fathom why someone who grew up in the middle of the troubles like you did wants to drag us back into the murder and mayhem of the 1970's and 80's!
Yeah a good man this guy. He's been amazed at the wide range of people who have come to him for food, not just people that you would classify as 'down and out'.
@Phoenix, first of all I'm not asking you to defend your point of view in any court I just think it would be fair if you informed the authorites where you live that you support terrorism in another part of the UK, so that they could monitor you, after all the dissidents will try to bomb the British mainland if they get strong enough. That would be the honest thing to do.
Let's be quite clear on one thing, I don't want you to be shot because of your views, I would only want that IF you came back to the North and tried to kill a cop/soldier/prison officer. Before you accuse me of supporting violence remember that only one of us thought the murder last week was acceptable, and it wasn't me!
You keep going on about an all-island vote on the north's future. The GFA lays down that there can only be a united Ireland if a majority vote for it in the North and the South, voting in separate referendums (just like the vote on the GFA itself!) so your all-island vote (one vote on the island as a whole) is just not going to happen, NEVER! not now not ever. Even the Shinners have signed up to that! The only parties who haven't are the fringe republican parties.
