Excellent documentary...

[monkeyapplenerd]

@MultiGunner666 I am glad you liked it

[MultiGunner666]

@monkeyapplenerd Its a classic example of people banding together and defeating state oppression,just like what I studied in our class about the history of the state and its relationship with its citizens...greetings from Catholic Philippines...

[monkeyapplenerd]

@MultiGunner666 I agree completely. You might be able to make a connection to the people power movement that swept away Marcos in the Philippines.

Thanks. One comment, so far: serious gap at 6:41.

@stevenredwards I am sorry I did not record this so I couldn't prevent that, I do hope you enjoyed the program though.

So informative. Thanks a lot, friend, for putting these videos up.

Sometimes we non-Irish fail to understand what really went on during the troubles. Videos like this can only help build bridges in understanding.

@mazyrun09 The Northern Irish troubles were not about religon! They were about a desire to end British rule in Northern Ireland by republicans! If you read the history of Ireland you see that there has been conflict between Britain and Ireland for many centuries from a time when both countries were Catholic. The two sides in the Northern Ireland conflict merely used the names Catholic and Protestant to identify each other. Not because they were actually devout believers in those faiths.
