Vilham - Ireland was invaded by Britain and now there is a mixture of indigineous irish people and british settlers in Northern Ireland, nearly 50/50. Are you suggesting the irish in the north clear out of their homes because they hold a desire not to be part of the UK, when in fact they never wanted to be in the UK in the first place but had it forced upon them?Vilham wrote:

At 3.10pm on Saturday, August 15th, 1998, a 500Ib car bomb exploded in Market Street, Omagh. It caused carnage on a scale never before seen in Northern Ireland. A total of 29 people were killed, as well as two unborn children, and hundreds were injured in the IRA atrocity. At the time, many felt it was the outrage to end all killings. Sadly, this has not been the case. Today, relatives of three victims talk about their feelings, as we approach the third anniversary of the Omagh 'massacre'.
Below are all the victims of the IRA who were massacre as they went about their daily lives. The only picture missing is the picture of the two unborn twins.

True and you just completely countered your own arguement too, the people that do want to be part of the UK the majority in NI would have to move to stay as part of the UK. My point still stands: land is land, you didnt own it 10,000 years ago because you werent there, thats just the same as going back 800 years, if your going to drag up the past from beyond the last 50 years it is completely irrelivent. The irish then arent even close to the irish now, just as the english 800 years ago arent even close to the english now.CameronPoe wrote:

My argument isn't particularly about the land but about the sovereignty of the land. I believe it should be under Irish sovereign control. I'm not suggesting all Unionists in the north be expelled, that would be ludicrous. They would still have all of the freedoms they enjoy in the UK (civil, religious, etc.) in the Republic, as enshrined in our consitution and guaranteed to all citizens.Vilham wrote:

Some of the ignorance on this thread is nothing short of astounding.
Vilham, Great Britain is an island. Look it up. Ireland is an island. Look it up. Its northernmost point is in the Republic, not "Northern Ireland". Funny thing that, eh?
EstebanRey, you don't have to stand behind everything and anything that unscrupulous leaders of your country have ever done, especially things you seem to be finding out about for the first time today. This is exactly the kind of thing you give some Americans on this board so much grief for!
You don't seem to have any knowledge of the Plantations -- the bare minimum anybody should know before mouthing off about belligerent Paddies, and probably the most direct cause of the Troubles you're likely to find.
You seem to have missed the not at all subtle point that Northern Ireland didn't exist until 1921, and therefore how partition can have occurred on the basis of a legitimate poll of Ireland is a "miracle of modern democracy", you might say.
Worse than that, you're apparently content to associate all Republicanism not only with the IRA, but with the splinter group that carried out the Omagh bombing, the Real IRA.
I'm prepared to accept that they don't/didn't teach you all about the darker aspects of English history in school, but you might want to consider the possibility that a couple of Irish guys could have a passing familiarity with their own history and find it offensive that you don't let your ignorance prevent you from pontificating on the matter.
You can still be a good Englishman, and not back up everything done in your country's name, ya know.

WTF are you talking about, when did i even talk about where NI is? I didnt... NI is the northeast corner of Ireland. When i said Great Britain i meant the UK, basically i made 1 small mistype and you act like a spacktard.spastic bullet wrote:

Yeah, you did change it in subsequent posts to UK, so I'll give you that. But this was the quote: "If people in NI dont want to be part of great britain then theres always Ireland." Read it again knowing "Britain" to mean the island it is, and maybe you'll agree it's not such a "small mistype", them already being in Ireland and not in Britain at all. But if you say you meant UK, fair enough. They're still already in Ireland.Vilham wrote:

About the previous link, yeah it's ironic they don't mention that the creation of NI itself is an obvious example of gerrymandering. That was my main point -- didn't occur they could have a section on NI without mentioning that. My bad, I guess, but I honestly thought it was common knowledge NI's borders were specifically drawn to ensure maximum area, but with a safe Unionist majority. Per the OP, there was a fair amount of border-creation going on around that time, though, so maybe it all runs together to some extent...
Anyway, I was referring more to EstebanRey re: the more inflammatory shit; careless editing on my part made it seem mostly directed at you. I think you've been the more reasonable over the thread. Yeah, you're welcome...

Maybe the picture was slightly inappropriate, ill give you that. But when I am faced with blind denial of the facts, I try to use shock tactics to humanize these people you talk about so flippantly. If you had taken the time to research the facts you would have realized that the above atrocity was committed by the Real IRA, a group of hard liners numbering no more that 40 men according to the British sources. Omagh is a predominantly Nationalist town, so they were infact bombing their own ppl. Insane. The IRA was on cease fire and hadn't fired a shot in years and hasn't since. They are now pursuing a united Ireland through politics. These are the facts, please do not try and twist that to fit your agenda as before.=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

I and Cameronpoe have both made it clear that the IRA in its infancy was a necessary evil. But what it turned into in the late 70s and 80s was a much harder line Wing of The IRA, the Provisional IRA which were much more indiscriminate in their activities.
Now regarding this "(for those who don't know, these people hold the same views as Jah and Camronpoe on Ireland and are willing to do this). "
You try and associate me with the Omagh bombings? You don't even know the basic facts about it and you obviously don't know anything about me either. I could rant at you with insults, but I don't want to stoop to your level, People like you are whats wrong with the world.
The only reason it is "dragged up" is because we both live on an Island which is partly occupied by another country. Which had/has a guerrilla army and religious factions killing each other for 30 years. Sound familiar? When it is "Dragged up" its to draw parallels with what is happening in Iraqi and/or Palestine. Bloody Sunday is "dragged up" because its the catalyst which polarized two Religious sections of a community against each other and what revitalized the IRA and sent them on a killing rampage for 30 years.=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:
I do not believe that either Cameron or Jah condone the killings of innocent people but both of them drag up the attrocities of Bloody Sunday whilst not offsetting it with what the IRA have done over the years. They want to advertise the acts of the British concerning this one incident, whilst not talking about the many, many incidents the IRA have created.
