The Irish are **** suckers who should die...

[Dinner]

That said they're interesting white wetbacks who should have a good time.

Hey, my wife's best friend's retarded cousin is Irish.

[Snotty]

Thats easy for you to say when Youve not grown up with domestic Irish terrorism, having your school evacuated because of bomb threats on your barracks town.

[MOBIUS]

Or feeling the windows of your office building in Canary Wharf shake and rattle from the blast effects of a truck bomb going off nearby…

During the early 90s there were bombs going off virtually every couple of months in London.

[DaShi]

That's what happens when you occupy another country.

[MikeH]

Ah the old "The US deserved 9/11" argument.

[DaShi]

Yup, it's a popular one. . .outside the US, of course.

I'm not sure the Irish are too bothered about the Brits these days, tbh. They're far more exercised by the Thierry Henry handball.

[OzzyKP]

Do we have any Irish on this forum? We've got plenty of people from England, I wonder why not more (any) from Ireland?

[Cort Haus]

Molly Bloom. We killed the rest.

Actually there was an Irish bloke who used to post on the football threads. No word from him for ages though.

[C0ckney]

was molly actually from ireland though, or just one of the many pretend paddys you see?

there have been a few posters from ireland here in the past, i think the guy in the football threads was cerebusIV or something very similar.

I'm not in for terrorism or the IRA, but the Brits have no business being in Northern Ireland, in my opinion. I would like to see Northern Ireland vote to become part of Ireland proper.

Margaret Thatcher, by no means an Irish Republican, and eventually a survivor of an IRA assassination attempt, is alleged to have said, when she took office "What exactly are we doing in Ireland?"

The answer is of course, extremely complicated, and it's certainly not for the sheer colonial joy of Imperial Domination.

In the final analysis I'm not really a Unionist myself when it comes to NI, but for those in the country that used to love filling the rattling tin of Irish Republican activists, what do you say to the majority of people in Northern Ireland who consider themselves British, do not wish to live in a country heavily influenced by a catholic clergy, and who wish to remain part of the United Kingdom?

Yep, a simple vote would certainly put those tensions to bed once and for all. No doubt about it.

[DanS]

As far as I know, Northern Ireland was created in such a way to guarantee protestant majorities -- it's a rather artificial construct in the first instance.
