What were they thinking?

So I'm hammering through my Reeling in the Years (Best thing RTE have ever produced btw) boxset and I'm after watching 2006 and something happened that left me in amazement that I'd actually forgotten. The Love Ulster March and subsequent riots that happened in Dublin on 25th February 2006

I was 18 and 14 years later I can't still believe this went ahead. The fact that someone actually gave the go ahead for this was and still is shocking whatever your religious and political affiliation.

What other events/incidents left you in shock and still to this day you can't believe the rationale behind it?

Special mention to AOL buying Bebo in 2008. Madness.

Still reeling...

I binged the same program recently. Everything the IRA did is absolutely shocking. Pure scumbags.

Two words. Michael McDowell. Does that answer your question?

Same can be said of the Loyalist terrorists. Only difference is they had the backing of the UK government and the UK security forces.

They were the bigger scumbags.

Grand for the lads, but whoever thought to market them to teenage girls was an idiot. A pants you can basically pull off with 1 quick tug, should nothing could ever go wrong!

They were designed for basketballers. Wear them when you're on the bench to stay warm. Reef em off when you get called to play, but make sure you have your shorts on underneath. Otherwise...wow wow wee!
