    Pira = murdering scum.

    You must despise the BA and absolutely loathe loyalist murder gangs.

    Loyalist murder gangs ~85% civilian kill rate (only 4% Republicans).
    BA ~50% civilian kill rate.
    PIRA ~35% civilian kill rate.

    The situation at the present time is, the brits took a hiding and didn't see any future in holding on to such a bigoted statlet.
    It was and still is in certain areas in the statlet a cancer that is still eating away on the brit establishment, and a public sore of what they created. Life has moved on for the majority, they are looking forward to a bright future. It is only the supporters of the extreme loyalists and the last of the brit rump that is on here that can't accept the defeat of the loyalist statlet. Move on whingeing about the past will not bring it back. The future is out there for you bigots, give your kids, and grankids a chance, do not prolong their torture.

    Lol. I actually laughed quite hard at that post. You are a one of those tongue in cheek ones aren't you? Bravo sir, bravo.

    Lol, last time I was in Belfast, apart from a small part off the Falls road, it looked very very British.

    How can a place look 'very British'?

    Fat men who dress in orange with little bowler hats squeezed onto their pudgy heads springs to mind?

    That would be 'bizarrely British'.

    Lots of people drinking pints of latte, shopping in Hollister and sporting Man United tattoos.

    Well, the road markings, the signs, the post-boxes, pretty much all of the infrastructure is British.

    You're permanently on a wind up, no wonder people don't take you seriously :pac:

    Drinking Italian drinks, shopping in American stores, and having a tattoo of an English football team, all of which have "global" appeal, is uniquely British? :D

    They were like that in India, most of Africa, the scrap value is fairly good at the moment. Symbols mean nothing, it is the vote that counts.

    That makes the north about as British as Toyota, Mazda, and Mitsubishi cars make Cork Japanese.

    I think the people with double digit IQ recognised the irony.

    But yeah, yellow registration plates, distances in miles, royal mail, the BBC, sterling etc. Looks pretty British to me, even down to the recorded announcements at the train station.

    That link by someone from called Chris Fogarty, Chairman, Chicago Northside Chapter, Irish American Unity Society.

    Lol. You may as well have quoted goebbels in support of Hitler's Jewish policy. Good try though, especially when you aren't from Northern Ireland, nor The island of ireland in fact.

    Do you like Braveheart by any chance?

    Is that the best you can come up with. In Vietnam you had American bars, in Iraq and Afghanistan you have Mc Donalds, for how long.

    You could try refuting the points he makes rather than engage in blatant ad hominem.

    The points... are they correct or are they not?

    I think the people with double digit IQ recognise you're talking out of your hole. Wow, there's British institutions operating in a land they occupy, my mind is blown :pac:

    Actually I don't,there's so many inaccurate mistakes Mel Gibson should be given a wee jaggy thistle up his bahookie.

    Occupy? How?

    The country belongs to the people, the majority wish to remain in the UK, how is that an occupation?

    I don't mind his movies actually. Don't know where his anti-semitism has came from though I hear he is quite religious himself.

    He's not in the sort of industry where that attitude will get him far. In saying that he's at the end of his career anyway and already a big star.

    Loved apocalypto and even liked signs. Used to love mad max but it has not aged well. Oh no. Lol

    Think he's banned. Could be wrong though.

    He burned his lips on the exhaust pipe.

    Not wanting to get into a pointless debate with you as I have to be up in 6 hours, I'd suggest that you have a read through this thread again and others along the same topic, open a book on the subject and perhaps open your mind if that's possible.

    Maybe the english were after the leprechauns gold under the rainbow at Darby o'gills bridge. Are you seriously asking me my opinion about 100s of years ago why one country did something?

    So what you are saying is you are Scottish. Why are you really that concerned anyway? That seems a bit bizarre.
    Wrong I'm not Scottish at all,the reason I'm concerned is simplistic,what did England over hope to achieve by taking Ireland?
    I'll put it another way,why did England invade Ireland,Scotland,Wales,Spain,India,Pakistan,America,and so forth,was it for them to teach the world its culture,its language,its glorious history or its brutality?
    Did you know that only 22 countries throughout the world haven't been invaded by Britain,you do now.

    Oddly enough I bought Apocalypto DVD and it lay on my table for around 3 months as I just couldn't be bothered watching it,as it turned out,I really thought it was an incredible movie up there in my top 10 best watched films.
