@angels77100 I agree that we should all live together in peace. And by the way I am an Irish American. If you are from New York City, you remebmer terrorism on September 11, 2001. I can't advocate for one group of terrorist and then fight another terrorist. Northern IReland is a part of the UK. They have a peace deal and now have their own assembly. But saying that "the whole lot of you" need to leave Ireland seems to me like ethnic cleansing. I don't live in the past.

@RustyTBone69 The Native Americans were slaughtering each other long before the White man ever arrived. Just like the Native Irish were slaughtering each other long before there was even an England. Rusty, the IRA might not have gone away, but they are no longer active. You can't keep living in the past my friend. Allow me to extend my hand in friendship and in the hope that we can all live together in Ireland as civilized people.

@angels77100 No, the whites pretty much wiped the natives out before bombs. The treatment of the natives is probably one of the worst genocides in human history. "Give America back to the Natives" S ounds like a great Paul McCartney tune ! Don't you think the IRA murders and commits terrorist acts?

@RustyTBone69 Listen Buddy. We're not bombing Native villages and arming, sheltering and covering American terrorist gangs to shoot Natives, like the British Army and the RUC (a sick excuse for a police force) are doing in Ireland with Loyalist murder squads openingly parading Irish streets killing innocent Irish men, women and children.

@angels77100 The British have been in Ireland as long as Non-Natives have lived in America. If the British need to get out of Ireland than all Non-Natives (ie.... YOU) need to get out of America and give it back to the natives ! Please be consistent !

@SplashboxRocker It's the opinion of all Irish Americans that these Goddamn Brits need to get the hell out of Ireland. And by that I don't just mean the military presence. I'm talking about the whole Goddam lot of them. Those prod bastards they sent over there from England UK to stir things up with the Irish people. Sure I know what Im talking about, you don't walk into a bar in New York with an Irish accent and claim your British. Not in my Bar ya don't.

@angels77100 that has been the intention of the irish people for many many decades, the irish people not fought amongst each other, they fought against the british who couldnt stop a people army and used their only tactic which was to advocate a secterian war.. its a shame, i know.

I'm from New York City and I've been to Ireland many times since childhood. I love Ireland. But after watching this video and seeing how deprived some of these areas look it seems thing are getting worst over there. Why don't the Irish stop fighting each other and put their hatred against the Brits who started all this trouble to begin with?
