Very nice memorial. Celtic art is so cool.

IRA is fighting for it's countries independence and the organisation is not based around killing innocents. I think you mean the Provoisional IRA which split from the IRA...those guys concentrate more on the violence factor.

One thing I don't get about the loyalists is how come they feel they owe no loyalty to the country that has been their home for 400 years(in some families cases anyway). Anyway 1/3 of the population in the North is Catholic (nationalists) and in time that population will steadily grow until they outnumber the loyalists and a referendum will succeed.

My family is Irish and my Dad is an Irish citizen. I fully support the idea of a united, independent Ireland. I've also visited Ireland and it's such a nice country.

I'm also a ravid Australian Republican. Once the 1950s population fucks off and dies in Australia the next generation will most certainly vote for independence.

[quote="Pfc.Green":2d1a2]This whole situation was caused by England (as usual) who just had to go to some one elses country and say this is ours now. I dont support some of the tactics of the I.R.A but I support there cause, unlike my Grandfather in Liverpool who believes that whatever England decides to do is right. This problem would never have arisen if the English goverment had'nt stuck its big fat ass on Northern Ireland.[/quote:2d1a2]

i think you accutally look at the histroy of ireland that is was the theate of a catholic invation instigated in rome that cause the intitial movement toward the control of island but then again most amerian are irish in decent so i'm wasting my time but if you knew people who had lost familey due to them then you would not be saying this

IMO they are the equivalent to the all the other terorist orgainastion out there they are not feedom fighters all they seek is the distruction of othere people happiness

The distinction between freedom fighter and terrorist all depends on what side of the fence you are on.

Absolutely right. We called Allied soldiers in WWII "freedom fighters". Howver, do you really think that the Allies targeted strictly military targets? Absolutely not. The Allies found it necessary to wear down the spirit of Germany by bombing the shit out of them. Yet we know that these were freedom fighters. However, Germans also bombed London with the intent of killing civilians. Allies also dropped napalm bombs on civilians. This pretty much puts the two sides in perspective, they both do things horrible however they each think differently about it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Also I suggest anyone who is going to argue for the Brits on this topic go learn Irish history from the 1960s onwards and then come and talk to me.
