He couldn't have been either a terrorist or a freedom fighter.
Because he "was never a member of the IRA".
Was he?

There are many ways of being remarkable and not all of them good.

“I Never Had A Beard” Claims Adams. “My face is as smooth as a baby’s behind.” Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has again denied allegations he has a beard.

Only if the 'If yer not wid us youre agin us' maxim applies.
Freedom fighter by definition as the cause was/ is genuine.
Terrorist by his ands the IRA's actions.

Its another in a long long line of stupid, pointless SF/GA bashing threads. Its been done to death many many many times over and your brand new well thought out "Terrorist or freedom fighter - you decide" thread isnt gonna produce nothing new.

So yeah, its a pity...


But its a free country (thanks to certain "freedom fighters") so carry on.

Who then blew it all away by robbing the banks of the country they are fighting for, blowing up old men, dealing drugs and killing civilians etc.
There was a just cause but their methods were utterly evil.

By the early 60s hume and other civil rights negotiators had done great work with the British government to ease hardship suffered by Catholics in the north, they had effectively done all this by dialogue and peaceful means,then along came Adams and scum like him and set the whole thing back 30 years, peaceful times doesn't sit well with the ira, their is more money to be made by practising oppression and terrorism

Why are there so many Gerry Adams threads in AH recently? Are they all being started by different people?

One thing about his leadership, he and others brought the fighting to an end. That is something his critics get caught in their throat. He achieved a lot, get over it, try and use your energies to a more constructive purpose, like asking where are all the funds going in these corrupt quangos, and charities. I think it could be described as jobs for the boys. Start there.

But if you feel that the thread is useless, then why would you bother posting in it? There are plenty of other threads on here. Don't feel you have to reply to any thread if you don't want to.

Freedom Fighter or Terrorist?

He is a Freerist domter fighor

My name is URL

Whatever he was/is, history will look favourably at him... long after the bitterly entrenched views of others are dead, cold and forgotten; like those that hold them.

Could we not start with the ethics/morals of so called "Politicans" and "Political Leaders" covering for a sex abuser for 9 years while said sex abuser was employed as a youth worker?

Lord above. And people actually thanked this...?

If you meant early 70s rather than 60s, what about the whole... internment under Faulkner thing? The IRA didn't just come along either - they were helping catholics defend themselves. Then they went way too far, but initially catholics had good cause to defend themselves. You would have too if you were a catholic living in a poor, flashpoint, ghettoised area in the late 60s.

The ignorance from people down here regarding the history of the North is baffling and dismaying - there really do seem to be people down here who think it was fairly ok up there and then the IRA came along and started everything.
