Why do you persist in calling people names? Are you so unconfident in your points that you have to resort to name calling? We already have one neanderthal on here who thinks anyone who disagrees with him is a traitor, do we really need a second one?
A terrorist is someone who uses terror to get what they want, what they can't get democratically. As a supporter of terrorism yourself you are well placed to judge that surely?
You took a welcome as being condescending???Good god! Anyway I can't be doing with that sort of mind set so goodluck witty and I hope everything works out for you.
I know you are Irish witty. I was talking about the potential union of our states. I was saying that if that happens I would extend a welcome. Could anyone object to that? I think you were mad at some of the things I said earlier in the thread and just wanted to have a go at me, is that it?
Mick Wallace and Clare Daly both in trouble for tweeting that militarisation is the cause of what happened in Paris. Fair enough point in itself but their timing is atrocious, now is the time for sympathy, debate can come later.
It's not your own country, it's a different state. Unity is far from assured even if the north's majority voted for it, we could never pump in the type of money to you that Westminister does.
No surprise there. If it ever changes I'll happily welcome them into this state. Not going to happen in my lifetime though. What will happen if Britain leaves the EU? then the border will become an EU border, wonder how that will work out?
No I don't support the British gov on here I support the Irish gov and its policies on the north. The north was created out of the treaty and has been ratified in every Irish general election since, as pro-treaty parties have won almost all of the votes. The majority of the people of the north want to stay in the UK, you can ignore that fact all you want but there it is. The GFA has copperfastened the agreement that change can only come to the north's status by democratic vote, not by violence. That means the issue finally is sealed. Nationalists/republicans are not oppressed, they have the same vote as anyone else. What they don't have is the right to use violence to advance their aims, but then you might call that oppression!
I see you persist in referring to the British gov as my gov! A childish argument. Republicans have always tried to denigrate anyone who disagrees with them and claim a monopoly on patriotism. If you're smart this will set off alarm bells in your head, if not then it won't. Let's stick to facts, the British government didn't govern that part of Ireland through violence. It was and is part of the UK through majority choice. The provo campaign was a textbook example of terrorism as they used terror to try to get what they couldn't get democratically. The UK gov had the right and the duty to fight terror and should have done so with overwhelming force from the start. Nationalism is a poison and unfortunately so many Irish people have been infected by it.
Wrong again. It was their own government they were fighting, their own legitimate government. Whether you recognise it or not doesn't matter, it's legitimacy doesn't depend on your recognition. They were terrorists fighting the legitimate government of the day.
You could do with a book about international law to go with your dictionary.
The hunger strikers chose their own destiny, their victims had no such choice. I don't know what your definition of courage is but planting a bomb takes a lot less of it than to be the soldier walking the road knowing said bomb could go off any time and there's nothing you can do about it. What are you on about 'your people'????? My people are the Irish people, just because I don't support terrorism doesn't make me less Irish, and I'm not getting into Michael Collins for christ's sake!
You're being selective as usual. Why don't you mention the soldiers who were murdered by these cowards shooting at them from long distances, or planting bombs by the side of the road then running away as fast as they can so that they were miles away when the bombs went off? Cowards who fought a cowardly war. At least the men of 1916 stood toe to toe with the brits and fought like men in an honourable way.
Speaking of Irish women where would they go for their abortions seeing as we won't grow up and deal with the problem here, once again Britain dealing with the overflow of our problems.
No, I've tried to oppose terrorism at every opportunity. That's why I condemn the provo sectarian murder campaign, the Loyalist murder campaign and the british army if they break the law.
