    He couldn't have been either a terrorist or a freedom fighter.
    Because he "was never a member of the IRA".
    Was he?

    There are many ways of being remarkable and not all of them good.

    Lets see. Grew up in an effectively apartheid state with practically no civil rights for his community.
    Then there was ...well ....a bit of a ruckus.
    Now his community is free.

    Freedom fighter.

    “I Never Had A Beard” Claims Adams. “My face is as smooth as a baby’s behind.” Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has again denied allegations he has a beard.

    Only if the 'If yer not wid us youre agin us' maxim applies.
    Freedom fighter by definition as the cause was/ is genuine.
    Terrorist by his ands the IRA's actions.

    Its another in a long long line of stupid, pointless SF/GA bashing threads. Its been done to death many many many times over and your brand new well thought out "Terrorist or freedom fighter - you decide" thread isnt gonna produce nothing new.

    So yeah, its a pity...


    But its a free country (thanks to certain "freedom fighters") so carry on.

    Who then blew it all away by robbing the banks of the country they are fighting for, blowing up old men, dealing drugs and killing civilians etc.
    There was a just cause but their methods were utterly evil.

    Freedom fighter.

    By the early 60s hume and other civil rights negotiators had done great work with the British government to ease hardship suffered by Catholics in the north, they had effectively done all this by dialogue and peaceful means,then along came Adams and scum like him and set the whole thing back 30 years, peaceful times doesn't sit well with the ira, their is more money to be made by practising oppression and terrorism
