    Nope. Would be happier to see the North cut off and dugged over to England than for Ireland to be "United".

    Also don't want to be part of a United States of Europe and will be moving elsewhere should it happen.

    The rb.ie haters are now campaigning for a YES to Europe.

    I think you just swong the balance in favour of the YES brigade now! :p:D

    Wheelchairs are for the physically disabled :p

    I can picture it now, those who "hate" me lining up (with their carers), getting the slip, going to the booth and getting distracted and end up drawing pictures of animals on it instead of actually voting.




    Wilburt if you read this don't take offense

    Yes vote. I thought as a nation we were above all the small mindedness and bigotry? Ireland has nothing to be afraid of.

    From what Ive read in the last month: No, you're not.
    Theres still a lot of Loyalists and Unionists and Seperatists around the place.

    Nope, don't want it. Sure doesn't Britain have to pump like £7 billion into it every year to support its economy? They are stuck with it now, muhaha!

    My first priorty is to see the Roscommons contained together where they can harm no decent people.
    I'm too focused on this goal to have time to think about the North.

    Or, helping the entire Island to come together and solve them together?

    There are alot of people up North identifying themselves as Irish who would probably shed a tear to remarks like this, or the cutting off the North remark. They are still us Irish and no different from us.

    Definitely no. Leave it as punishment for the UK. The amount of money they have wasted on NI over the years is crazy.

    Off-topic - Does anybody have a ratio of input into the North's economy compared to the tax output?

    Why should we do that? They're part of the UK, like it or not and they are a burden to the UK. Let it remain that way and let the UK look after it. Why should we take on such a burden?

    Because it's the island of Ireland and the six counties were taken by force. I don't care how long ago it happened. It was still unjust.

    Because it's apart of Ireland. It's an integral part of our history and culture, only recently divided. It is a small land mass and makes no sense whatsoever being seperated. Unity on this Island, where everyone is accepted and treated equal makes sense. Under current British administration, the loyalist big wigs can flex their might and veto out areas of importance to Irish people like the Irish Language Act.. This would be respected in a United Ireland.

    But if anything, we should do it because thousands of people on this Island have given up their life for it's Unity and Freedom. You're not being asked for your life, just for a nod of the head.
