    "My grandmother was shot whilst picking lettuce for the black and tans" or whatever it was you said.

    What has it got to do with anything? Just because a distant relation was a victim of a tragedy doesn't mean you are suddenly a higher authority on matters of patriotism.

    My Uncle says that when he was in college every pub in Galway played the national anthem at the end of the night. Back then people were respectful of our country and politicians. Now thanks to the liberal agenda of the Dublin media and the pinko lefties no one respects our dead heroes. In tough times where we all need to stick together and tighten our belts a little bit of nationalism would help.

    Not everyone in southern ireland is nationalist what about them?

    I'm a very proud Patriot.

    Even when it comes to the likes of Football I'd go all the Irish games Home/Away.

    However I don't feel the need to STAND, in a pub, at closing time to show my pride for my country. In fact although I would normally stand for the anthem when this happens it has often annoyed me when dcikheads think they have the right to confront other people there for not standing.

    They are heroes because they sacrificed their lives to allow future generations to govern themselves.They freed a people from an imperialist force who had no right to exert their authority in Ireland.In my mind,folks like Collins are every inch heroes.

    Yes but they have caused more trouble than joy, firstly they created sien fien and secondly they created the worst organisation ever the ira which is still causing trouble and is the main reason why Northern Ireland is the way it is..

    Yea... but that wasn't worthwhile in my opinion all they did was cause trouble.. they created the ira which is still causing trouble aswell as shin fien.:rolleyes:

    You are mixing up the Irish Republican Army with the Provos. The former fought the British occupiers in the 1920s.The Provos killed thousands of innocent people.They are different to me.

    why do you think people go out to pubs and clubs and drink excessive amounts of alcohol? they dont want to be reminded of where they are, a night out is a way to escape all the crap that ireland throws at us every day.

    i also have no idea how not signing the national anthem on a night out is disrespectful to 'our dead heros', i dont remember patrick pearse ever signing a song for me when he was locked.

    The IRA you are thinking of came about because of events such as bloody sunday! If you bully and terrorise a people for long enough they will fight back!

    most of your views are based on absolutly no fact. Your knowledge of Irish history is extremely limited. When people have corrected you before you play innocent and say you are learning! You go on like a child!
