    And the Brits call …
    And the Brits call the IRA terrorists! IRA is no more a terrorist organization than were the American revolutionaries. The only difference is the Irish have access to England herself, where the Americans did not.

    The …
    Well put.

    The IRA has liberated all but six counties. Those counties will, unfortunately, probably always be British simply because most of the populous is, in fact, English or of English decent.

    you cant find …
    you cant find greater bigots than the Roman Catholic church. Remember the crusaders who ransacked and murdered the Orthodox Christians of Constantinople and also forced Orthodoxs to submit to the Pope in eastern Europe and Ukraine

    People living in …
    People living in the past talking and complaining about old Colonialist powers when we are now all colonies of the bankers and financial institutions. I am not a communist but the west was lucky that the Soviets became bankrupt first, but only just 20 years is not a long time in the history of the world

    it’s not about …
    it’s not about religion, its mainly about colonialism, discrimination and state backed terrorism on the unionist part

    i do not share SF left ideology but what’s crystal clear that colonies are still a nice business for countries like the UK, Spain or France that still owns few

    Yeahm i think i …
    Yeahm i think i forgot the us in my list… but the nations i namend where just examples…
    I should have also said: the us, the japanese, chinese… it would not made a big difference at all.
    The only thing i wanted to say was: There are no nations who did all wrong and no nations who did all right and just because a nations mistakes where done just a few decades before, it does not mean that their doings where more terrible than other nation ones… they where all cruel, cause war always is.

    LCN dont forget …
    LCN dont forget Britain was conquered by the Romans, also the Angles, Saxons and Jutes(thats why the english are anglo-saxon) and later on by the Normans. The original english had to flee to the west. America are a superpower because they are super hypocrites. People complained about the Confederate flag being associated with slavery. Yet import of slaves was illegal there. Most slaves came on ships bearing the stars and stripes and Washington was a slave owner & the US slaughtered indians too

    Sorry to disappoint …
    Sorry to disappoint you Nonkopn1 I dont come from England or Scotland although iechnically you are right that i am living in another man’s country in that I am Living in Belfast part of the UNITED KINGDOM and my family come from Westmeath. You tossers always assume that i am not Irish and you always view Ireland through green coloured glasses. you dont know your own history, non irish born rebels involved in the 1916 rebellion, no doubt these were committing a crime by being in Ireland.

    after what your people did in the First and second world wars you have no right to criticise Britain. You have starved, pesecuted and mudered millions way more than anything anyone can try to blame england for. It must really suck knowing what an earlier generation of your family did
