Are Americans so culturally blind that they need subtitles to understand people speaking English in a different accent to theirs? Please tell me you don't need subtitles to understand...
@KeithMReid Nah, it's not the accent, it's the speed. If you grew up in a home with fast talkers (irish or newfie, so on.) then you'll understand it because you're used to it where as the people who didn't, can't follow it.
Talks cheap, reality is as much as everyone wants English out, its too late, they are too interwoven in Irish economy, political, and yes even social structure. And this is coming from a Scottish planter Family descendant, and please don't hate.
Dublin has to be the most boring and morbid town in the world and people who live there just dont know life or there own self-worth its like a prison because almost every bar and food store has arrogant polish security gaurds on them and everybody judges you for simple things like the way you dress act behave walk and talk its SICK get the fuck out and live your life . You cannot express your true self in Dublin because the culture is so extremely different to everywhere.
there u can see that humans are to stupid for themselves....fuckin arguin bout protestant catholic??? OMG there is a religion thats more worth to discuss about for its fuckin ideology...

Of course the Loyalists are more defensive as the ones who can read the future see that eventually they will be a minority in Northern Ireland and at that time the Nationalsit majority will vote themselves into the Republic The Loyalists feel left in the lurch so to speak how many peoples after all are faced with the possibility of being detached from what they consider their own country, Quebec was an example where the plebesite for independence was only defeated by a very small % next time???
@mushroom2you i agree, the lazy thick irish blame england for their problems yet receive huge handouts from the english taxpayers, if the irish want to stand on their own, let them deal with the debt, instead they blame the english yet expect the english to bail them out. Ireland is like a spoilt teenager who say they hate their parents yet still live at home,
I got to say the flat fluid that passes for beer in the British Isles "may be good for you" but to me and most Americans it is not what we call beer German beer yes but Guiness with all due respect no, by the way Guiness helped the British during the Easter Uprising NO? well that's a long time ago and I'm no fanatic just an amateur historian of Irish, Scots Irish and English heritage from NY not to mention the German French and Swedish blood I guess I'm a sort of a mut
@elamite66 its ironic that the only thing that can bring two opposing people and faiths was a drink called porter now called stout that was invented in england in the 17th century.
@MacDragard that still kills me the slang term "fag" for cigarette It has a different meaning here in North America fags or faggots are neither cigarettes nor bundles of wood but a less than respectful term for gay men I know it's silly but everytime I hear it used in the context of the British Isles
@skoi87 Then again, now that I've had time to think about it, assimilation is the key! In the past, when the norse and vikings invaded Ireland, what happened? Sure, they fought, but the also assimilated the norse and vikings til they were more Irish than the Irish themselves. They concuered their concuerers thru assimilation! Today should be no different! Assimilate the British!
@horselover1975 yeah it sounds good but it doesn't always work if it did the Irish would have been assimilated into the UK of Great Britain and Ireland Although they were assimilated in most ways such as language etc. the hatred for past wrongs kept the idea of an Independent Ireland alive By the time Ireland's rightful claims had been met within the Union such as Catholic emancipation the British Governments land redistribution the Gaelic League and the G.A.L. cont.
Any british soldier in northern ireland represents a legitimate target. The british soldiers are murderers and butchers. Even today they are committing genocide in iraq and afghanistan.
Lets keep our opinions on tactical options quiet eh? I haveno public opinion on the troubles, but i would like to request respect for what they'd term ongoing operations.

@CrazyNative4 It's fortunate for the Irish that the English did not employ the tatics of ethnic cleansing and population transfers as the Turks did in Armenia in World War 1 and in Cyprus in 1974 or Bosnia, or Ruanda or a few dozen other places and time periods especially in the population transfers that occured in Eastern Europe during and following World War 2 Do you honestly believe that an English elite is holding Northern Ireland against its will?

Most of America is Irish? That, seems unrealistic to me. At the best you could say that a majority of Americans have some Irish ancestry, perhaps secondary to another nationality. We're mostly mutts.
I love my Scott-Irish Grandmother living in Vancouver Canada and my Irish-French Grandfather. My mother is Canadian and my father is Mexican and I live in San Diego but, I'm Irish!
once again, the Troubles is incorrectly defined as a conflict between Catholic and Protestant communities. That is completely wrong, it was a conflict between the native Irish working class and the British ruling elite who didn't belong there in the first place.
Despite your pompous tone, you have no idea what you're talking about. The idea that all the protestants of Belfast are "the British ruling elite" is laughable.
@WunderDoob Perhaps. Still, Bourdain had the insight to say "I could talk about this wall that was built here...but it speaks for itself" "It is what it is, a giant wall" (or pretty much to that effect) He does not pretend to know the depth of the underlying complexities of the Troubles. "As for me, all I know is that I know nothing." ~Socrates
my grandmother(my dad's mom) is 100% irish, he's 50%, me and my sisters are 25%. my great grandfather(idk) came from the blasket islands. how irish are u?
..the prime example of a more powerful nation choking a smaller one without regard for personal freedom & setting them up for aeons of civil conflict, in that sense the situation here is really very undemocratic. i live in the most heavily unionist corner of NI and it lacks soul, it's sad more than anything.
there is no alternative, i agree that EVERYONE here has the right to vote. but there will be no content for irish people, just the will to avoid bloodshed. it's co-operation and no jusice.
well of course, & i don't think many non-extremist nationalists would dispute that, but therein lies the problem.
generally nationalists don't look upon NI as a seprate entity as these counties were bordered off by british hands, & not by the will of the people of the island, but rather the planter families they placed here. here we are some 400 yrs later with the same division, our colonised land and the votes in favour of the union... but that does not make anything right, just or fair
... majority votes also do not account for the fact that most unionists here are of english/scottish heritage, so i guess it's looking at the situation now and seeing how it's been contructed entirely by the british and the irish who have settled here for generations have effectively lost their identity. i don't believe democracy fully exists here, looking at it objectively.
anonymiusen, you have to consider the fact that it is "comfortable" to be part of the UK. never underestimate political/historical disinterest and ignorance. for example, i know my brother is happy with the union longterm, but that's because we've been brought up with british tv, economy, media.. it's emedded in our culture. it is very peaceful here right now. so many people just don't that emotive awareness of political injustice which galvanises nations.
Are they really fine with it? Or are you just saying that based off your own opinion? I would if I had time go to both countries and literally write down who wants to be apart of Britain and those that do not. I'm not saying that they would say no with a majority but I'm saying less than 70 agree.
are the Irish in N.Ireland really loyal to England??? I mean wat the hell? I hate seeing english flags flying in ireland, I say dissolve great britain, let Ireland unite and Scotland be free. Grr! nothing stirs me up as much as seeing this.
if you read about the history of ireland, many unionists in the north actually have scottish or english roots because of the plantations in the 16th &17th centuries. they colonized this part of ireland. the english orchestrated the whole situation as it stands today. unionism does have a slight majority here political party wise, but the MAJORITY of people claim neither nationalism or unionism. i feel that if everyone was properly educated about the injustices that have occured...
over the last 800 years at hands of the british govt, people would feel a greater desire to reclaim their country. this is certainly what happened with me. i was brought up with a neutral stance but now support the nationalist cause solely on what i've LEARNT. at the end of the day, ireland will never reunite aslong as london wants northern ireland as part of the UK. i believe that at this stage, the core majority of people here just want peace, rather than feeling great loyalty to england.
I have always hated the conflict between Catholics and the loyalists. Such mindless violence for nothing! Brother hating brother over sectarian causes. Thank God Peace has come. Great show as always Mr Bourdaine, we love you!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ireland should be a part of the UK. There is no reason to have a Republic in the Isles (look at the US, the states have fought a huge civil war are way bigger and all have different identities). Ireland should peacefully co-exist as part of the UK
And why should they?? Read the history! It was england that invaded Ireland and tried their dangest to opress them. Why doesn't the brits get out of Ireland instead and leave them in peace. If you ask me, the brits need to leave Ireland and pay the Irish for all the trobles they caused to them! Ireland should continue to fight til they are reunited.
Why is ummmm Cromwell's picture up like that? I don't know how big the debate is in Ireland that I am seeing in this video, but still I don't like it... that is the reason I am here- in America. We didn't die :)
Catholic protestant WTF Ireland was celtic Pagan at one time ridiculous religious fighting. wasn't until the Pope decided to change everything did they bring violence.
2:35.Does that sign represent support for the IRA?I was always given the impression here in the states that the IRA were the bad guys,but the more research I have done that doesnt seem to be the case in my opinion.Honestly,I havent done a tone of reading on it,but I have done quite a bit in the last 2 years.
I think it is insane to think life was started by chance.I just dont think it is nessecary to insult those who think differently than me.Atheism,evolution...its all a bunch of crap anyway.
my point is not to necessarily disparage religion, but to note that fighting over the "differences" between protestant and catholic religions is ludicrous. i grew up in a catholic family, so i do know what i'm talking about.
Yeah, the Crown is on Great Victoria street, but he is talking about The Rock at the start. I wrote that comment so long ago....guess it was a reply to another comment.
He, very conveniently, ignores the fact that the loyalists take side with the UK. The invading, oppressive & tyrannical empire trying to own all of Ireland for god knows how long. So to be an Irish loyalists, fundamentally, is to be a traitor to your country and country folk - weather they are orthodox or catholic is a secondary, irrelevant issue. They always try to mask the true nature of conflicts with religion.
It might not make him "Irish" but it does make him Irish American-- so get the f**k over it. Because when u have great granchildren in the states-ur gonna want them to have pride in their motherland too.
I'm not judging you by the country you are from, I judge people individually, so don't tell me to look within my own country, I know there is excessive patriotism, however, I am not one of those people. I've also never said, nor heard in real life an American actually say "euro-trash", most of us see Europe as cleaner, great food, nice scenery..romantic..etc.. What do you mean running around with your national symbols? So when you were in the U.S. did someone say those things to you?
When someone has so much national pride that they're offended when someone says that their late family came from Norway, yet they live in America.. well then it becomes a problem, and causes arrogance, hate...etc.. why are people so caught up on countries, we are humans. It would be too much to ask for everyone to see each other as fellow humans, instead of definition via invisible borders. It's stupid really. You are getting confused by the wording of it, they don't truly believe their Irish.
In the US when people say something like "I'm Irish", or "I'm German", it's strictly talking about ethnic heritage, not culture, or the country you live in, or citizenship. I can see your mind can't quite grab the concept, and you take it as claiming to be a never-left citizen of Ireland. it's just too bad your great grandmother got a ho train run on her by 10 English men, so I'd prefer if you didn't claim yourself to be full Irish. I'm not of Irish decent, but you were acting like a douche.
I'm irish. hahah the ira bit is gas. I'm sick of shows that go to ireland and put traditional irish music on top of the show. Irish music is non existent in ireland anymore

once again, the Troubles is incorrectly defined as a conflict between Catholic and Protestant communities. That is completely wrong, it was a conflict between the native Irish working class and the British ruling elite who didn't belong there in the first place.

Despite your pompous tone, you have no idea what you're talking about. The idea that all the protestants of Belfast are "the British ruling elite" is laughable.

@WunderDoob Perhaps. Still, Bourdain had the insight to say "I could talk about this wall that was built here...but it speaks for itself" "It is what it is, a giant wall" (or pretty much to that effect) He does not pretend to know the depth of the underlying complexities of the Troubles. "As for me, all I know is that I know nothing." ~Socrates
Here, here, wise Mr. Bourdain!

..the prime example of a more powerful nation choking a smaller one without regard for personal freedom & setting them up for aeons of civil conflict, in that sense the situation here is really very undemocratic. i live in the most heavily unionist corner of NI and it lacks soul, it's sad more than anything.
there is no alternative, i agree that EVERYONE here has the right to vote. but there will be no content for irish people, just the will to avoid bloodshed. it's co-operation and no jusice.
monogirl3 2 years ago
well of course, & i don't think many non-extremist nationalists would dispute that, but therein lies the problem.
generally nationalists don't look upon NI as a seprate entity as these counties were bordered off by british hands, & not by the will of the people of the island, but rather the planter families they placed here. here we are some 400 yrs later with the same division, our colonised land and the votes in favour of the union... but that does not make anything right, just or fair
monogirl3 2 years ago
... majority votes also do not account for the fact that most unionists here are of english/scottish heritage, so i guess it's looking at the situation now and seeing how it's been contructed entirely by the british and the irish who have settled here for generations have effectively lost their identity. i don't believe democracy fully exists here, looking at it objectively.
sorry for going on and on! haha. :)

anonymiusen, you have to consider the fact that it is "comfortable" to be part of the UK. never underestimate political/historical disinterest and ignorance. for example, i know my brother is happy with the union longterm, but that's because we've been brought up with british tv, economy, media.. it's emedded in our culture. it is very peaceful here right now. so many people just don't that emotive awareness of political injustice which galvanises nations.

if you read about the history of ireland, many unionists in the north actually have scottish or english roots because of the plantations in the 16th &17th centuries. they colonized this part of ireland. the english orchestrated the whole situation as it stands today. unionism does have a slight majority here political party wise, but the MAJORITY of people claim neither nationalism or unionism. i feel that if everyone was properly educated about the injustices that have occured...

over the last 800 years at hands of the british govt, people would feel a greater desire to reclaim their country. this is certainly what happened with me. i was brought up with a neutral stance but now support the nationalist cause solely on what i've LEARNT. at the end of the day, ireland will never reunite aslong as london wants northern ireland as part of the UK. i believe that at this stage, the core majority of people here just want peace, rather than feeling great loyalty to england.

Ireland should be a part of the UK. There is no reason to have a Republic in the Isles (look at the US, the states have fought a huge civil war are way bigger and all have different identities). Ireland should peacefully co-exist as part of the UK

And why should they?? Read the history! It was england that invaded Ireland and tried their dangest to opress them. Why doesn't the brits get out of Ireland instead and leave them in peace. If you ask me, the brits need to leave Ireland and pay the Irish for all the trobles they caused to them! Ireland should continue to fight til they are reunited.

He, very conveniently, ignores the fact that the loyalists take side with the UK. The invading, oppressive & tyrannical empire trying to own all of Ireland for god knows how long. So to be an Irish loyalists, fundamentally, is to be a traitor to your country and country folk - weather they are orthodox or catholic is a secondary, irrelevant issue. They always try to mask the true nature of conflicts with religion.

I'm not judging you by the country you are from, I judge people individually, so don't tell me to look within my own country, I know there is excessive patriotism, however, I am not one of those people. I've also never said, nor heard in real life an American actually say "euro-trash", most of us see Europe as cleaner, great food, nice scenery..romantic..etc.. What do you mean running around with your national symbols? So when you were in the U.S. did someone say those things to you?
zOMGLaserGunzPewPew 2 years ago 2
When someone has so much national pride that they're offended when someone says that their late family came from Norway, yet they live in America.. well then it becomes a problem, and causes arrogance, hate...etc.. why are people so caught up on countries, we are humans. It would be too much to ask for everyone to see each other as fellow humans, instead of definition via invisible borders. It's stupid really. You are getting confused by the wording of it, they don't truly believe their Irish.
zOMGLaserGunzPewPew 2 years ago 3
In the US when people say something like "I'm Irish", or "I'm German", it's strictly talking about ethnic heritage, not culture, or the country you live in, or citizenship. I can see your mind can't quite grab the concept, and you take it as claiming to be a never-left citizen of Ireland. it's just too bad your great grandmother got a ho train run on her by 10 English men, so I'd prefer if you didn't claim yourself to be full Irish. I'm not of Irish decent, but you were acting like a douche.
