Please don't tell me you have an aunt in south Armagh like that other poster so that's how you know things somehow... I have already said I have no issue with Arlene going to the funeral. I also said it wouldn't have bothered me if she hadn't went either. I'm not really for these modern xfactor style funerals anyway. I go to the funerals of those I know. Not some politician, sportsman or singer that I didn't know personally.

It's a real pity that young liberal Unionists go to university in Britain and don't come back. Maybe we should have some sort of scholarship system in universities in the south to encourage young unionists to stay in Ireland so they could replace the old guard in the north.

I have a feeling that you wouldn't apply the same pathetic arguments there though. I would..... I meet moderate nationalists every day of the week and I can assure you that you "ain't one" either chum... see how this works.

Why did you lot kill each other indiscriminately? Why didn't you focus on the IRA? instead of gangbanging in prison.?

Now we have a drunk republican on the prowl with a far out relative (maybe an aunt we aren't sure) in NI apparently (lol) who himself seems to be homophobic though it's hard to translate the ramblings. "Gangbanging" suggests you watch too many yank tv shows too my man. Your south Armagh aunt would probably approve of more eastenders...

Even Johnny Adare admitted to this. The shock on his face when he came to Dublin and saw Irish people were normal......it changed him I think, not you though:)

FrancieBrady wrote: » You have a curious way of expressing yourself then. I have always accepted that the IRA did some awful things and the likelihood that McGuinness did some awful things. What I will not accept is that that happened in isolation or that it happened without a motive. Churchill did some awful things to win his war but he is lionised and his dubious history is ignored. McGuinnes did nothing different to Churchill, everyone in that church accepted that. That is the reality you have to deal with as details of British collusion, the Glennane gang etc etc come out. What the IRA did is not suppressed or hidden or covered up. They have taken responsibility warts and all. A little bit of humility Tim might suit you better. But I sense you know that.

The later Spanish name came from the conquistadors who ravaged and colonised South America, leaving Argentina with the lowest population of native Amerindians in the South American continent. Prior to the British (Scottish) landing the Islands didn't have a name as indigenous South Americans had never gone near the place.
