    Refer to post 371. Nothing more to add.

    So you are just here to do a PR job for the OO. I did suspect that alright. Nothing going very well is it? :D

    Not at all. But he had responded and quoted my post.

    I actually went to a 12th parade today so thought it might be interesting for those interested to ask some genuine questions. Feel free not to look at the thread though. Thanks

    Odd... Didn't realise a quote required a question..

    Anywho..

    Here's one though, how do you reconcile fun and family day out with KAT?

    A lot of unionists are very insular, and don't like folk moving into their areas.

    There are many cases of immigrants homes being attacked.

    Technically you are wrong here.

    Saoradh, took responsibility for killing Lara McKee but apologised for it, as it was an accidental death,

    Yep, accidental, I fired the gun officer and it just happened to accidentally hit the wee girl in the head, all accidentally of course. Nothing to see here, oops..

    Well yeah but in reality troglodytes like that exist everywhere.. 'you're not welcome here' is not a phrase exclusive to NI.

    Never saw anything today with KAT on it to be honest. What are you referring to?

    Tbf even police acknowledged it was a richocet off their van and hit the young girl (hopefully those kids who did it will get sent down for it)



    Unlike soldier f,who gets widespread support to not face a murder charge for shooting an injured man crawling on the ground

    Emm. No. I just never saw anything to do with a slogan KAT. I’m not sure what a slogan sprayed onto a wall would have to do with anything anyway. It’s common in Belfast with Kill All Huns around the river but I haven’t saw it elsewhere.

    I have no opinion on that matter tbh. Nor probably should you coming from cork I assume. Why would you even ask that question?

    Why did the OO move so far away from what Billy was fighting for? He fought for civil and religious freedom, yet the OO is an exclusively Protestant organisation that sought to keep NI exclusively a Protestant state for Protestant people and managed to do that for decades to the detriment of those of a different faith. Genuine question.

    Didn't william of Orange have the then prime minister of the Netherlands eaten alive by a mob of cannibals?

    Reason there are not more from catholic community in PSNI despite the massive effort is because Irish republicans whether in the Ira, the new Ira or the i can’t believe it’s not the Ira keep blowing either them up or their legs off. In the case of the Gaelic playing officer he accused members of his own gaa community around toome. Lovely people it seems.

    The main reason is Catholics are better educated and don't see the need to work such a tough job for a pitiful £24k a year.

    Also let's face it, the events of the past few days show that it's a protestant police force for the protestant state

    I think you over estimate the skills here tbh. But go ahead and present your evidence that it was a deliberate targeting of a specific journalist.

    The loon that did it will get done for manslaughter not murder, as there isn't a hop in hell of that charge sticking.

    I think it’s very relevant to the twelth and the orange order connections to loyalist spokespeople. All a bit sinister on a day you like to celebrate.

    What difference does it make what part of this island I am from? Whether you like it or not the south is intrinsically linked to northern affairs.

    But yet if they support open acts of terrorism that is tolerated. Those Irish republicans they were supporting had murdered some wee girl in stroke city a short time earlier. Come on now.

    You keep saying that but it's still irrelevant and a tenuous connection at best

    No future in most religions I would think. Definitely no future in the 21st century for most of unionist beliefs and rights to its citizens.

    What a snob. You should buy a property and then rant boringly on about it at a house party until it busts. Very Irish in the boom type.

    Message for Irish republicans - Stop blowing the legs off Catholic Gaelic playing psni officers. That poor guy saying how none of his gaa club supported him after being blown up was heartbreaking but not surprising at all. And probably elements around him set him up too. Lovely altogether.

    Commonly known as 'being on the wrong side of history' and most recently expressed by Westminster voting to give people modern rights.

    Well that's true but religious background has an influence on culture long after the population has turned to atheism.

    I don't mean that religious belief is in decline, the belief in pre destination means the future doesn't matter for them and this belief persists regardless of how religious the individuals are

    Our own experience would show you that the tide, once it starts, turns very quickly indeed. Who would have thought 20 years ago that we would massively endorse SSM?

    But the main reason Catholics aren't joining is because of poor pay and conditions and their better educational attainment allows them to get twice or three times the wages in working in Dublin.

    It depends on the particular belief. Were Irish Catholics ever into biblical literalism or anti gay sentiment, I don't think so, but try to talk about low key funerals or cremations to 90% of Irish Catholics, lapsed into atheism or not you'll get your head snapped off
