    And "Marcos" is a common family name is south western India, where one half of my family comes from, and the other half of my family is Spanish. Only reason I chose the name.

    Lol, oh my god you could not be made up. Progressive living in the UN cosmopolitan bubble comes down to tell peeps how life is :D

    'And "Marcos" is a common family name is south western India'

    I can literally see you at a dinner party saying this and having no idea nobody cares or thinks it is interesting. Walking parody.

    As for me, I do not brag or need validation here so I am what I am quite happily. And your intellect is so-so son. You need some friends to bring you down a few notches because you scan as someone who has nobody to tell him how bratty he is.

    I live in the midlands in a 2 bedroom flat and work primarily in Tamil-Nadu.
    Hardly cosmopolitan in either case really.

    Seems to be in solidarity with black Americans. Can't see the problem with that really.

    Ah yeah, because showing solidarity with one group means you don't care about others.

    That old chestnut.

    Plenty of people volunteer personal information on Boards. Doesn't require us to use that personal information to try and tear them down.

    Pull up a seat lads and open your copy books. The Irish constitution is unequivocal about citizenship and the Irish nation which absolutely disregards the current border and current UK jurisdiction (subject to change in the Good Friday Agreement) over the north east corner of Ireland.





    The one territory view of this island and aspiration of a political UI remains codified in the Irish constitution:



    For anyone who still has problems accepting the reality of the Irish nation; the surviving Hooded Men from Co. Derry who were sadistically tortured by the British state's forces in the north are going to the ECHR with the backing of the Irish Government.

    This displays perfectly the all-Ireland nature of our nation and indeed the Britain's tacit acceptance of thats.

    Yes, yes. You practically have a united Ireland already Tom. (Snigger)

    Sure tell the Irish republican morons to stop shooting and blowing people up
    Whilst you are at it. Sure if you have a United Ireland it's hardly worth it. And blowing up Spanish tourists is hardly encouraging good relations with our European friends.

    Anyway At least NI will remain in the eu then considering its United and all. ooops... Maybe not.

    Just because the Republic of Ireland hand out passports like confetti is not my problem. As I said in another thread I might even consider one myself. For convenience though and certainly not as a matter of citizenship.

    Anyway back on topic BLM march in Dublin. Viz was so ahead of the times with student grant. I miss viz.

    Student grant, milly tant,..... Those are the sort of people who would attend a Blm March in Dublin.

    I hope the Toronto pride guy is ashamed of himself for caving into their nonsense in Toronto. He should have grown a pair and told them to F off out of the parade. I expect better from Canada.

    Where did the Facebook postin the OP say anyone was blaming Irish politicians for the shootings of people of colour by US police officers?

    I saw an post advertising a solidarity demonstration, not a protest.

    That's exactly what's happening in the stats, I am aware the type over here will follow suit to show how much the support the cause. That's if it's not taken over by AAA or any number of gombeems.

    Exactly it epitomises the SJW element and their sinister shouting down of dissenting opinion. Like that guy in the Irish university shouting sh*it at a Israelis speaker sensing no irony about saying hes been on the campus for 10 year. They just turn up and cause trouble.

    Think fair to say we can all unite in calling that lad a complete knob :)

    I'm not sure why you quoted my post because you haven't refuted or countered one bit of it - the facts stick in your craw no doubt.

    As you were.

    Solidarity with Black Lives Matter =/= Condoning Police being killed

    Solidarity with Blue Lives Matter =/= Condoning POC being killed unjustifiably by law enforcement

    Keep up, it's not hard people

    You ascribed a ridiculous generalisation about who he was. YOU brought it up. He replied... You got owned... Now you accuse him of bragging. Your tears are real salty, pal.

    Bratty butthurt ftw.

    You couldn't make it up.
