Every time I saw one of those bumper stickers with a map of Ireland, split green and orange, with the words “26 + 6 = 1,” I wanted to run them off the road.
good that you got out and it sounds your father was a wise man
You are far more likely to be killed in any major metropolitan city in the US. Especially if you are in the wrong area after dark.
LOL same here
what they don’t understand is that the majority want the north to stay with the UK while in the south they don’t want the north
Actually just the opposite. Northern Ireland had more in common with muslim countries that suppress other religions. And your comment is foolish. Where am I apologizing for anyone? I am pointing out facts. Do some research before you accuse me of sounding like a muslim apologist. Both sides in this conflict had dirty hands. Can you not agree with that?
Bobby Sands, like most of the IRA, was an atheist Communist.
You're full of it! I don't believe anything you have written.
Bobby Sands was an Irish Catholic patriot. Misguided maybe, but a patriot none the less.
I understand the history very well.
prods and catholics have their cowards and they have killed innocents but we’re on about the scum named ira.
Thankfully more and more people are waking up over there and can see how their killings have hurt innocents all the time.
They trade in drugs ,protection , guns and scams.
putting a bomb outside a mcdonalds which killed a little kid does nothing but hurt them morally.
financially it does and that is what they are all about.
Bush did a great job shutting their money down and I remember how he would not host them at the white house like Clinton did under orders from Kennedy.
I think many forget how these cowards are Marxists too.
The north was set up after the easter uprisings and it was Michael collins who did this, A IRA man .
Prods in the south went north after being subjected to threats and violence
While Catholics never went south.
It was the Catholics who wanted the British army there to protect them but the IRA knew that the army was a threat ot their agenda and money thus using propaganda to turn the population.
One and a half years I was there and i have to say that there are great people there but the violence I saw by these knuckle dragging cowards was disgusting.
People living in fear from them, people could not even say hello to the police in public because the IRA would warn them and sometimes kill them.
I hope the peace lasts and everyone over there wakes up to the fact these scumbags just want money and power while the bigger threat is radical Islam
The same could have been said about the victims of 9/11.
think what you want
I was over there in Newry, , crossmaglen, , Bangor, Lisburn, newtonards etc.
in 91 to 93.
You can think what you like as if you want to put your head up your ass then so be it.
but hey why not check the dates and places out then, check out southie, check out when Adams talked over here, check out when two of my friends died over there and blown up i Newry during those dates.
so before you mouth off check things out
bobby sands was a patriot
he was a terrorist and a scum bag.
are you saying you support the ira?
Are you saying you think the ira are noble and that they were right in their killings, drug trades etc?
I'm Catholic, and half-Irish, and my response to that is... BS!
If I said what I really want to, I'd be banned.
have you read their post where they say bobby sands was a patriot and just misguided.
never would I have thought that I would read on here someone who supports a terrorist group.
Why? What do you care about what the political situation of a foreign country is?
Pretty soon (I'm guessing in the next fifty years) the north will be unified with the republic under peaceful terms. I bet that most Irish will celebrate.
wrong but if you had been over there you would know that
most of the south do not want the north and most in the north want to say under the UK.
Yep. Wazoo is scum.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
And you're an a#@h*^#.
either this poster is a WUM or is completely clueless and has this thing that these cowardly scumbags are their hero’s which if the latter is true then we now have a terrorist lover on here.
I'm tired of the British Empire sympathizers using 9/11 as an excuse to try and gain political points in their own internal battles. Have you no shame? Most English citizens think that the British government should exit N. Ireland. So do most citizens of the Irish Republic. Reunification will happen. It is just a matter of time.
