[taylorzack78]

the IRA are freedom fighters just like how the USA had there civil war ireland had theres with the british just like we did

[NYPlastikPaddy]

Did the IRA march in the parade?

[milkybar100]

you do realise the IRA are terrorists. IF your talking about the irish army then yes they did. The IRA didnt though.

[NYPlastikPaddy]

How can you think the IRA are terrorist's they fought to free Ireland from British rule? What is so wrong about that? Unless maybe you're British?

[milkybar100]

eh how bout the fact that IRA members killed and kidnapped innocent civilians.

They bombed parts of dublin aswell.

[NYPlastikPaddy]

War is hell even if it's a fight for freedom, many innocent civilians get in the way it's part of life, but I would have to disagree with you to an extent because the IRA never intentionally sought out to kill innocent civilians Bombs do not discriminate who they kill and the IRA uses Guerilla warfare (hit & run) why do you think the US is having such are hard time defeating the enemy in Iraq and in Afganistan? Guerilla ware.....You can kill from a SAFE distance.

[milkybar100]

youd be wrong though. and how yuou can say that about a human life just getting in teh way is utterly wrong.

The IRA was a group set up to free ireland. They did and we got our independance, some members became loyalists to teh queen of england and kept the name IRA. They have committed horrible acts since the time of micheal collins. We are now called the irish defence forces. The IRA are now meer cowards and terrorists and they will always be seen as that by irish eyes. By civil eyes.

[NYPlastikPaddy]

I'm sorry you feel that way, what did you say your address was in Dublin again?

Just curious is all......

[milkybar100]

you really think im that stupid.. nice try.. wierdo

[NYPlastikPaddy]

My point exaclty mate, Just having your user name is all we need nowadays to track you down.....See you soon!

[milkybar100]

aswel as that you actually think i live ib  dublin... i live in kilkenny and im a member of teh army.. fuckin idiot

[gaelicpiper]

When did Provies become loyalists?

[321womble]

@NYPlastikPaddy The irony of the support from the US for open IRA funding sessions in that country and then to complain about terrorism, should have had more sympathy back in the 70s and 80s when the IRA were shaking their collection boxes on the streets and halls of New York. The IRA never intentionally sought out to kill innocent civilians? Ha, I guess that depends on who the IRA defined as innocet. Plastik indeed, real Paddys don't need your sort.

[gaelicpiper]

So what part of Dublin did The RA bomb then and when was it?

[milkybar100]

Im not talking about teh old IRA im talking abotu the new one. The ira began years ago as a republican army. But it changed , today it is known as the irsh defence forces. However there is still a group known as the IRA who have been associate with terrorist activity in ireland. Including the murder of two british soldiers. Im irish and part of teh defence forces. But even i think its horendus that they killed two innocent men. There is no honur in that.

The comments are much appreciated! Thanks!

[sirsparrow]

I wasn't sure if i made the right decision to nurse my hangover with sleep or go to the parade.

Now i get the best of both worlds. I'm so happy with my original decision too :)
