well its a catholic country would you still cause trouble if you and your people were being treated as second class citizens and your culture destoryed and land taken over by the brittish.wounds heal but scars still mark the skin

@Paddy234 Firstly, what state-sanctioned Genocide was committed in Ireland? (History test for ya). Secondly we are not under occupation. The majority of the people of Northern Ireland want to remain part of the UK. That is why we are still under a Union flag, not because we have it imposed on us.

If anything, people have the right to defend their homeland (NI) from the IRA.

@thecraighi they stopped that now, something that ira never have done. Check targets. To be honest I dont even give to fucks about anything you say, anyone who supports a terrorist group i automaticly hate. Oh yeah and thanks for the sarcasm dumb ass, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit

[thecraighi]

@zDarylHD wow you just solved the last 90 years of political strife with one stupid fucking youtube comment. British soldiers have killed more people over the years than any terrorist organisation wise up

@PlayCodxX And if the Irish king of Ulster hadn't invaded Scotland and founded the kingdom of Dl Riata, Scotland would still have a Pictish culture rather than a Gaelic one. What should only matter is what the people living in particular place wish, and in the case of Northern Ireland, it is to remain part of the union.

Fact of the matter is, Britain and Ireland are genetically, historically and culturally intertwined and no amount mud slinging will change that.

@xxksaoXX Very late response, I know (8 months...eek) but anyways, the reason it is a Unionist occupied country is because of British plants a long time ago, this is pretty well known and accepted. If there were no British plants to make it so, it would not be a Unionist country.

i cant beleive people support the I.R.A they just cause trouble. planting bombs etc. they are just a terrorist group like al quoada or the taliban with less weaponry. the I.R.A have killed a lot of british soldiers but they have killed more catholics than anyone else the end. now stop arguing and be like a normal city and try to get along. FUCK SECTARIANISM

[zDarylHD]

@shanepowermurphy what does it matter of your religion and catholics have equal rights to protestants infact more catholics are in londonderry than protestants. Yeah british people stole the land but thats history now just forget it.

@shanepowermurphy

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK mate, so you support these chaps. The so called "real IRA" have killed more of your fellow catholics than the so called "culture destroyers"

[patjoethebaker]

@xxksaoXX so true

[thecraighi]

A few reasons. Firstly because your are arguing a point which is clearly incorrect so you are either playing devils advocate for the sake of a lively debate or you're a deluded, dogmatic unionist. in which case i have no intrest in speaking with you because your opinion will never change. Secondly, you are being disingenuous with your information and comparisions to certain historical events.I think you are trolling or completely mental but if you fit into another category please enlighten me
