just a few things ruth. you state in your info that your hometown is n ireland. n ireland is not a town. 2nd you state the united kingdom as your country. united kindom is not a country. this is fact not an oppinion. raises a few questions about your views and motives i think

@abelton2007 Hi, thanks for your comment.

Let me clear a few things up. YouTube (& indeed many other websites) don't give much scope as you've to choose a country from a drop down menu - so UK it is then.

As for saying my hometown is NI: that's really so I can narrow down roughly where I'm from without saying specifically - don't want to give too much personal info away on internet

The intention of this video is NOT political but to make a stand against violence.

@ruthiebabes I'm in Belfast and yet I can choose my country as Ireland on Youtube. Why can't you?? By choosing United Kingdom, it implies a questionable motive, especially when you post a video on the current issues surrounding this disputed territory.

[ruthiebabes]

@Taubile People could just as easily infer the same as you if my country was set as Ireland.

@ruthiebabes You're not a Catholic. You're pretending to be someone you're not. You're a settler - I can see through you. You're not very good at trying to cover that up. You are a LOYALIST.

Exposed!

[ruthiebabes]

@Taubile Catholic doesn't necessarily mean republican and protestant doesn't necessarily mean unionist or loyalist. I've said before, this project is nothing to do with those opinions or political views, it's just a view that violence is not the answer to the problems we have in NI. All I want to see is peaceful resolution and it's obvious others feel the same way given the result from this video.

@ruthiebabes i guess that clears it up then ruth. im sorry for bein so sceptical. keep up the good work

[UnknownOconnor]

As a native to this land (and a Catholic), I applaud the Real IRA for targeting this collaborator. The cost britain pays for annexing this land is no longer worth the risk. Hand over sovereignty to Dublin and let's live in peace then.

...

"In casual language, the idea of a "state" and a "country" are usually regarded as synonymous. The United States are not made up of several 'countries' and the United Arab Emirates are made up of seven 'emirates'. They are both countries too."

@abelton2007 The UK is a country...

"From Ordnance Survey:

The term United Kingdom (UK) refers to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

It is a political union rather than a geographical term.

In international law and international relations, a state is a geographic political entity possessing politicial sovereignty, i.e. not being subject to any higher political authority. (see Montevideo Convention 1933)"
