Why do people never show both sides of the community? It's always one or the other

@2491cc Point taken. I happened to be in the Falls Road area and bumped into the Lord Mayor. We will be filming on the other side soon!

@2491cc Yep i think its just the way it is.

@2491cc You should've just ignored dbpgh, he's obviously an intentional retard.

[Gavinkeenan1]

@rhaurirocks that's kind of harsh.

[dbpgh]

@2491cc dont tell me what to do. if you have a problem you can ignore my posts and go away yourself. you can do and say what you want, NI is a time bomb waiting for the right spark.

[2491cc]

@dbpgh Whethere you think so or not, there IS indeed community here. Please go away.

[dbpgh]

@2491cc but you should know, that it is the extreme sides that move the world. the people mixing in between will pull to their own sides when the time comes.Do you know much about the Holocuast? Look into it. NI is not and will never be a community nor a viable country. you have one side marching for a few months every year to show their dominance, right? please dont say it is a cultural thing. how can you say you have a communitity with something like this? impossible.

[dbpgh]

@2491cc ok. i enjoy my time with you. Yes, besides extremists, everyone else is cool.

[2491cc]

@dbpgh How is there no community? The vast majority of people get along fine. People are just people, and don't generally have an opinion. Only those with strongest opinions stand out, and those are the people who have the loudest voice, unfortunatly. And fyi, i am from Northern Ireland. What makes you assume i'm not?

[dbpgh]

@2491cc UHM. clearly our problem is easy to diagnose. I was correct in asserting that it is not a community. Obviously there is no in between. you are not part of that region. FYI, eng is doing the right thing, gradually removing themselves from the Country of Ire.
