[. . .] You anti-Irish-Catholic bigots need to get your facts straight before you break wind again...

Bravo.

[AspidistraFlying]

Why not let the people of NI decide by referendum? If they want ‘liberation’ then surely they will vote to join a united Ireland.

That's certainly the plan (fingers-crossed).

In any event the whole issue will become less and less important in coming years if the EU continues to accrue national powers. But symbolism will ensure it won't go away.

You wrote

Well progress. Now if only the British would say they were sorry for the Irish dead by Cromwell, the potato famine and the repressions to occupy Ireland for these many years. Wouldn't you like to see peace?
I thought it was WELL worth repeating!

[Moleman]

And there is not and never has been British "repression" and "occupation" in and/or of Iralend.
Surely you are being sarcastic...

[det dweller too]

I hear ya. Every time I hear someone make a disparaging remark about the Irish, I think of a bloated, drunken slob from Boston's most infamous crime family and find it hard to disagree with them.

Is Teddy on the loose again?

And there is not and never has been British "repression" and "occupation" in and/or of Iralend.

What are you talking about? While the British may not have caused the potato famine, and while many landlords did their best to help out their tenants, the British government could have done a lot more to help ease the suffering. Plenty of oats and corn was being produced which could have fed many people, but it had to be sold and exported to pay for the rents. Many of these noble British landlords saw the famine and its aftermath as nothing but a great oportunity to clear their lands for cattle. They didn't give a crap about the Irish peasants, so long as they paid their rents. If they didn't, the bailiff tossed the shack and kicked them out. Your talking out your ass if you think that there was never British repression and occupation of Ireland. I guess you think Britain came in to help the Irish out. They paid money they didn't have in tithes to the Church of Ireland and to fatcat landlords for the good of their health. The Penal Laws were just a vicious propaganda story started up by complaining Irish catholics.

I as going to post the rule about personal attac, but I see you have handled that quite nicely, Brian.

I love it when you write "hesporophobic..."

[kellynla]

Cowardly? You only wish you had balls as big as mine. If you don't think the Brits were responsible for the deaths of millions of Irish you really are a moron. If you can break yourself away from LA LA land and come to Belfast miss moron you let me know and I will personally pick you up at the airport and we'll see who the coward is...my family would like to meet an anti-Irish-Catholic bigot as yourself who talks big behind a computer in California and doesn't think the Brits did anything wrong...

[kellynla]

FYI There is no such word as "hesporophobic" in the English language. Miss brian moron has used this word a couple of times. Guess she is trying to impress those who are even dumber than she and either don't own a dictionary or don't know how to use one or both. We already know miss brian is ignorant of Irish history. And obviously can't read. Especially after I purposely posted the history of English occupation, slaughter and genocide of millions of Irish during the famine while the Brits were exporting crops from Ireland to England. And she still claims the Brits did nothing wrong...duhhhhhhhh And all she can do is call the IRA all kinds of names while hiding behind her computer screen in Los Angeles, CA. And she calls me cowardly?. We think maybe miss brian moron is looking in the mirror.

[Brian Allen]

Cowardly?

Well, that's your word -- but on the face of your performance on this thread, it seems to fit you, so I will accept it.

And will add that like all of your ilk, anonymously cowardly.

As for me, my Bog Irish ancestry is a matter of fact, my last slave ancestor "transported" in chains to Australia by the bloody British, died there in 1939 -- and my name and address are in the telephone book.

And it is you who are hiding behind a a bloody computer and spewing the mindless and gutless threats that; as a change FRom blowing up children, anyway; mark your ilk!

Too bad, as you demonstrate several times in just this one thread, that you are too stupid to learn from your mistakes -- the mistake of bringing your envy, hatred and rage on to FRee Republic's boards being preeminent among them.

Otherwise I'd advise that you aught to put down your Guinness and your Baileys chaser and pull your bloody head in until you sober up a bit.

As it is I will instead afford you the dignity of the consequences of your own actions.

And may your Gods go with you.

Cordially

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Got this thing [Share it with My President!] about cowards, bullies and other terrorist types that goes something along the lines of "you are either with US or you are against US."

And talking about cowards, bullies and other terrorist types, what better [Worse?] example is there than the abjectly cowardly, self-loathing, psychopathologically and endemically alcoholic, Marxist-Hitlerist, bank-robbing, drug and gun-running gagster bastards who grandiosly self-style themselves the "ira;" cover up their own inadequacies and self hatred and get their little rocks off by blowing up little boys and girls and women -- and rationalize and justify their actions by projecting upon and by impugning the British with their own unmitigated Evil?

These murderous terrorist gangsters by any other name have always been -- and on every continent and in every last one of the world's stinking murderous terrorist gangs still are -- a bloody murderously involved component of international terrorism.

They hate themselves, hence that the root cause of the Evil they work upon the British and their obsessive and insidious involvement in every murderous gang on every continent is not rooted in any harm they fantasize having been done by Modern Britain and/or by any living Brit [Including those who make up the 90% of the population of the British Ulster Province that insists upon remaining a part of once great Britain] -- but is rooted in their collective hesperophobia.

This word was coined by the political scientist Robert Conquest. Its roots are the Greek words ‘Ýóðåñïò [Hesperos] which means "The West" -- or "The Civilized World" and öüâïò [Phobos] which means "fear" but which when used as an English suffix can also mean "hate."

In the context in which I have employed it here, Hesperophobia is fear or hatred of the Judeo-Christian/Western/Roman/English-Law-based [IE Human] Civilization that is represented by the British. The hesporophobia of the primitives and thuggees that comprise the "ira" and its supporters and apologists is, given Ireland's recent leap [Complete with corrupt and looting politicians!] into the twentieth century, quite redundant -- but then, the folks who suffer it are, even when they are sober, very slow on the uptake.

I'm not much enamoured of the Brits and so don't have many British mates but those I know all say something along the lines of "Oderint dum metuant!"

Which means "So long as they fear US, let them hate US!

Best ones -- Brian
