I think you will find I have never gotten involved in any debates to any serious thread or extent on that subject. Now I know you have plenty of time to dredge through posts and you surely will, just to try to score an innocuous point . I wish you the best of luck. But don’t wreck the thread just to get a slap at the auld Brenner. That’s all I ask.

"Leo Varadkar might have Michael Collins and Micheal Martin may have Eamon de Valera — we have Bobby Storey and he’s done more for Irish freedom, peace and unity on this island than either Leo Varadkar or Micheal Martin,” said Mr Adams." It would turn anyone's stomach to read that.

FrancieBrady wrote: » I'm sure that was your view before Adams tweered If I was that nauseated I simply wouldn't be reading their tweets or looking at them venerating people who killed in war/conflicts. If it genuinely upsets you that is. You seem to be selecting what to get nauseous about though as you have no discernible issue with selected others venerating. .

blanch152 wrote: » Start a thread about them in the History Forum, and put your theories out there, claiming they are equally as bad as Adams and Storey. Because that is the first important difference, the legacy of Adams and Storey is a living legacy suffered every day by good people on this island who didn't deserve the horrors inflicted on them by those two creeps.

FrancieBrady wrote: » I'm thoroughly realistic about history. I don't engage in pretence about it. Some horrible and nasty things were done by people who found homes and veneration in nearly all pilitical parties on the island. The denial of that is the immoral thing. Adams made a mistake with his brother that he owned up to. My opinion of that should be well known, I have offered it often enough.

Next you will be making excuses for genocide because "sure the Nazi's did it" That's not how history works, you shouldn't look backwards and say it is ok to do it today because they done the same 100 years ago, we are supposed to advance with time, not just rinse and repeat. That's what the majority of the World expect.
FrancieBrady wrote: » No again. I am using history to highlighr somebody being selectivy nauseous. I made no comment on the act's
blanch152 wrote: » Yes, it is extremely clear that you made no comment on the acts. You think it is ok for Adams to cover up and protect pedophiles as he admitted in his own blog and for Storey to be a criminal thug because DeValera something something. As I suggested take your opinion that they are all the same to the History Forum, where here I will continue to talk about contemporary acts for current affairs, those that are still scarring real innocent people. The thing is, you are not in the slightest nauseous at Storey and Adams, and that says a lot more than you think.
FrancieBrady wrote: » and that would be another NO. I said what Adams did was wrong and a huge mistake and I said at the time, on here, that he should have taken the opportunity to resign at that point. I have never made any comment on here about what Storey did, or Collins or DeValera in respect of conflict/war. What I was doing was calling out selective nausea which is as bad as the selective use of victims. But you don't seem to get that. BTW, As Adams has now left the political stage and Storey has left the living world, these are subjects that should also be in the History Forum surely.
