VICE News | The VICE Guide to Belfast | Part 1 of 4

VICE headed over to Belfast, in the lead up to this year's Twelfth parade, and tensions were running higher than any period in recent memory: It was only a few months since a 25-year-old Catholic police officer was murdered by dissident republicans (to dissuade others from joining the force) and just weeks after altercations between nationalists and unionists in east Belfast ended in riots and multiple shootings, including a cameraman. What better time to explore Belfast and marinate in the divisive hate?

The intro for Vice News is killing my god damn ears

[begood20000]

@phobiazzzero It's about land not religion. It's just that the Protestants are descendants of the British planters and the Catholics are native to Ireland

[ScottABoy]

and this is supposed to be a civillised country...FUCK RELIGION

[Faralakaboom]

@LifeOfCraig because they are two sepeerate entities!

[LifeOfCraig]

@Faralakaboom Your comment is one big contradiction. If religion is man made how can you still believe in jesus?

[sexywhitebriefs]

why is there a penis on his head?

[Faralakaboom]

@HugeDeek SCIENCE SHOWS YOU HOW GOD WORKS, RELIGION IS MAN MADE! JESUS IS THE WAY

The behaviour of the Unionist kids is EXACTLY the problem we have up North. As a Catholic Nationalist of course I want a 32 county Ireland, but I know the situation, I know what we have done in the IRA, and I also know what the UVF etc have done. However those kids haven't a clue what is going on, but are so vicious in their hatred towards the Catholics... but don't know why. This is why there will never be peace in the North.

SCIENCE FLIES MEN INTO SPACE, RELIGION FLIES MEN INTO BUILDINGS.

[begood20000]

@menacinghat Correcy they are all the same. It's just cultural differences and bitterness over who fucked who over.

There is largely peace except for an ignorant section of the working class. I think protestants and catholics realised they were more alike than difference after the influx of East European and African immigrants.
