Northern Ireland - Irish or British?

Recommended Posts

From a recent thread:

Quote


So you would advocate the bombing of the Catholic nationalist communities in Northern Ireland who continue to have terrorists living and operating amoungst them? Or does this stratergy only apply to Muslims?

----------------------------------------------

They were doing a good job of that themselves.. I know its a big deal to those of you who live under the Union Jack... but....those counties are IRELAND.. the userpers need to go back to their own island.

----------------------------------------

Most Brits I know couldn't care less if Northern Ireland is British or Irish (it happens to be both) However it is a big deal to many people living in the province (though the majority really don't give a shite either way). The people who live there have chosen to be British, they have voted on it and do so reguarly so maybe you just need to get over it and stop getting misty eyed over something that doesn't exist outside of disapera myth.




We've already solved the issues of guns, immigration and the Middle East in here. Time to solve this one. There's more to those 2 isles than just bad food, bad teeth and the beta version of a language that was perfected in the U.S.

British or Irish? Usurpers or patriots? Terrorists or freedom fighters? World peace is in your hands.

British Subjects.

Put it to a vote and live with it.

I have never been in favor of the PIRA, nor any
faction of Protestant Terrrorists.

They are all criminals, and actually do more criminal activity than people would believe.

Most of the problems in the north are the direct result of the Irish in the USA.

They sent money, guns, and lent support to terrorsists on both sides and yet went without being investigated or prosecuted.

So say whatever you like, terrorism is wrong.

If they all wanted to fight, wear uniforms, and quit hiding amongst innocents.

For the most part, all they are fighting for anymore is control over criminal enterprise.

Bad food? If you're comparing it to the US diet you must be joking! You've sugar in almost everything and are a nation of fat bastards.;)

Anyway, back to your point - I agree completely with what Warpedskydiver said.

edit: to add in the word 'fat'

'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'

Is that Britspeak for "tough mother fuckers?" If so, you're right.:P
No rebuttal on the teeth, I see. So telling.

Anyhow , back to the task at hand.

thats very American thinking, there are good guys and bad guys. Life simply isn't like that.
As for the teeth, we have dental care free on the NHS from birth. Austin Powers wasn't a documentry you know:D

Sorry for the error - I meant fat bastards but somehow missed the 'fat'. Hope that didn't offend anyone.[:/]
Now, regarding teeth, I missed that point on purpose due to its irrelevancy. I'm aware many American people on TV quickly sorted out their tooth defects before it caught on over here - but so what? Not really worth arguing over is it?

Regarding whether you're the good guys or bad guys? Taking into account numerous visits to America and having worked with Americans countless times - like today in fact, I can say I generally like Americans. The vast majority I've met and worked with have good hearts, and mean well. But.......
there's a very significant amount of 'bad apples' - as you'd expect from any nation. My issue is the 'problems' a lot of these 'bad apples' are causing. I'm pretty sure you might also share my concern.

Now, regarding pussies, in '95 when I was over in Fort Bragg your 82nd airborne were issued cards explaining why they shouldn't drink with us. In general it was because we can drink more and then we'd beat them up. Who are the pussies?:)

Now that's what you call teeth 'in all round defence' !!:D

Eureka! The solution to American obesity - learn to prepare and cook British. Why has noone ever thought of this?

What do you have against Chicken Tikka Masala?

Chicken tikka masala (Hindi: चिकन टिक्का मसाला) is a westernised Indian dish based on baked chicken chunks (chicken tikka) cooked in a curry sauce. It was hailed as "Britain's true national dish" but is popular throughout the world.

Are the Irish still acting up? I thought they had a hangover.

I say that the IRA should be treated no differently thatn any other terror group. As for the people of Northern Ireland well I guess it would depend. If the people in northern Ireland rabidly support the IRA and they burn british flags ad-nauseum, burn efigies, scream death to britain, death to america and all kinds of other crap and celebrate in the streets when innocent brits are killed in terror acts I would prefer they stayed in northern ireland rather than immigrating here and bringing their shit with them. If however the IRA weer highly unpopular with the majority of the people there and represented an unwanted group who could garner little support then let open the doors to the people of northern ireland.
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

It depends on where you are in Northern Ireland and who you are talking to. The IRA, which one? Provisional IRA (PIRA), Continutiy IRA (CIRA) Real IRA (RIRA) or Oficial IRA (OIRA) all seperate groups and thats just some of the republican groups. The vast majority of people are against the violent struggle and its only a very small minority who support such actions and they are most likely the terrorists and thier families.
These days the people of Northern Ireland don't really care two shits for the 'struggle' thats done with. The only people who care about that crap really seem to be Americans who think they are Irish:S

Hahaha!! Indeed. The amount of times I've been chatting to some American in a bar and heard them say; 'Ah'm Scattish too' or 'Ah'm Irish'.

'Oh really?' I've answered. 'Why don't you have a Scottish/Irish accent then?'

The answer? 'We'all, it's fram my Great, Great, Grandfather who once spent around 10 minutes in Scotchland/Ireland on his way to America.....' or some other similiar nonsense. Brilliant!:D

Ew. Thanks for the image. That sounds about as appetizing as naming a dish "crotch rot." No wonder you people can't be entrusted with the language.

You just say that out of deep-seated national shame over your royal family being German.
