BonnieSituation wrote: » Your words indicate otherwise. If you don't feel threatened then what's your problem with an ILA? If you don't think majority want a UI why are you so angry at the idea of a border poll? Why do you constantly go on with a bunker mentality that seems to think that the ROI would treat Unionists with the disgusting contempt that Unionism treated Nationalists in NI since the sectarian statelet was imposed upon the Irish people? Your days of having a veto are over. As it should be.
downcow wrote: » You are just not getting it. I actually don’t think the roi government would purposely treat my community with contempt. That’s not the issue. No matter whether they deliver us cream buns every day, it’s not happening. It would be like saying to a Scot that if the English be nice to you would you not just let them absorb your country. Another why negotiations would serve no purpose. I don’t dislike southerners. I am just not about to surrender my country to them.

munsterlegend wrote: » Why do you keep picking analogies which have no relationship to the de facto one between the ROI and the north? We get it you won’t vote for a United Ireland but the point is that there is a majority away from hardline unionism and loyalists who could vote for it. Brexit has the potential to destroy the Uk and if SNP get a good vote in the next elections another independence referendum can’t be far away.
BonnieSituation wrote: » NI won't be independent. No one in NI wants this. Why would Nationalists silo themselves with people that don't agree with their aspirations? The GFA has only two possible scenarios; NI as part of the UK or a United Ireland. That's it. If people want to agitate for changes to the GFA, then that is their prerogative. In the meantime the rest of us are gonna continue down this road.
downcow wrote: » We are a resilient people. Probably no more or less resilient than the Irish. So we will do our best in whatever of you hypothetical scenarios occur. But I think I said earlier, there are about 200 other countries I would unite with before roi , and we have never been united with most of them either.

downcow wrote: » I agree completely and I don’t hear anyone agitating for change to GFA except some republicans. I don’t here a single unionist advocating change to the voting arrangements, even jim Alistair, simply confident there will never be a majority. The time for agitating would be after the hypothetical implementation
BonnieSituation wrote: » You would rather unite with France or Sweden or Vietnam than the rest of your people on your Island? Does that hold true in the event of a democratic vote whereby the residents of NI vote to reject the UK? And you say you're not bitter and beligerent and have Nationalist friends? Gas. You're too far gone to consider convincing or recruiting for a yes vote. Thankfully your cohort are diminishing.
BonnieSituation wrote: » What Republicans are agitating for a change to the GFA? You obviously have proof of that assertion?
downcow wrote: » Let me genuinely help you bonnie. Would you ever vote to unite roi with England? And if you had to unite with someone would you chose France or England? Does that help you understand?
