Gosh, Dr.Bob, we're a tad sensitive aren't we?
The problem in the taig writing his history is the disconnection between events as they occurred and the piffle the IRA would have the world believe.
No surprise there and probably in keeping with what passes for a nationalist's view of his country's political genesis midwifed by the now romanticized Collins and that devious jouneyman, De Valera.
Quite pleased you should think I write for the red tops, though. There may be hope for me yet.
Wish I had one. If in doubt use a lesser known one and cross your fingers.Originally Posted by Lorenzo
Aldhouse must have known which border crossing to use though, which raises some interesting questions.
Actually I think you'll find it is a severe psychological disorder known as psychopathology. Untreatable sadly for you. Usually such types suffering such a delightful malady of the mind are incredibly selfish, arrogant and incapable of forming close attachments. Doomed to forever be outcasts and oddities.
But on this plus side, you don't have any of those pesky emotions to cloud your judgment....However, you are clinically insane, for all intents and purposes.
Yep, I'd glorify violence....good move DrB. Such atrocities as Omagh that resulted in the mass murder of innocents...yeah, well done DrB.
Psychopath it is then. It explains a few things .....
"Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar
Sarcasm suggests something amusing. I find little to laugh about from your post(s).
Just me I guess.
Ah yes, it must be us....
Couldn't possibly be you....
I mean, the IRA and their reign of terror is just the stuff of lighthearted banter, right? A real laugh riot. Murdering the pregnant, the young, the innocent. Yes, I can see how you'd want to resort to "sarcasm".
sar·casm/ˈsɑrkæzəm/ Show Spelled[sahr-kaz-uhm]
–noun
1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.
Sarcasm is of course well known as the lowest form of wit....it is quite fitting that you'd resort to such a thing.
Do you know about the Omagh atrocity? Most of the scumbags who were responsible for it (and they were not members of the IRA) were actually executed by the IRA for their part in the bombing. Almost all republicans, including the IRA and Sinn Fein, were so nauseated by the Omagh bombings that it led directly to the end of any support for violence in Northern Ireland, the decommissioning of weapons, and the disbandment of the Provos. If you're going to comment on something like this at least make the effort to get your facts straight. Ignorance is an appalling thing and is a keystone of the sort of hatred and bigotry that underlay much of the violence in NI.
I was expecting the "lowest form of wit" comment, dullards like yourself constantly resort to cliché, I suppose that they find it easier than actually thinking for themselves.
Interestingly, I've just been reading an article on sarcasm in the APA's Neuropsychology journal. Written by two researchers from the wonderfully named Rambam Medical Center. They demonstrate that an inability to comprehend sarcasm is often associated with damage to the right frontal lobe.
If NORAID was funding the IRA, why didn't they send some food aid to Bobby in the Maze? He was dying for a few potatoes.
You just can't help yourself can you.....
So, you veer from glorifying the IRA atrocities to justifying one bombing incident...because it wasn't really the IRA it was some splinter faction...who just happened to know the code words used by the IRA...
Right...
You'll believe anything....
Omagh was just one DrB. The worst, but just one...

Are you insane? WHERE did I justify it? I said Omagh was an atrocity and that the perpetrators were scum, in what bizarre universe can that be intepreted as a justification?Originally Posted by StrontiumDog
As an Englishman I'm just as confused sometimes, not least because the decisions made by people (both elected and unelected) mostly defy any logic. But it's jobs for the pc people who are convinced they can mix cultures, destroy or re-write English history at will (theirs).Originally Posted by Davis Knowlton
I suppose if you want to stand back and take a cold cool look at the Political Correct situation in the UK,just one of the problems is they (the PC brigade) can't re-colour us, brain wash us or place us into their neat politically correct pigeon holes with any resistance to it.
I'm also confused as to why idiots on this site are dragging the IRA and Irish history / politics into this thread as it has absolutely nothing to do with Aldhouse or Eire and it's history and from what I've read these idiots appear to know little or nothing about historical events or real feelings of Englishmen or Irishmen and I only refer to Eire not the six counties shithole in the North.
^^
They did so because a discussion on the UK possibly letting a murder suspect go gave them an opportunity to express their bitterness at the US for letting suspected IRA bombers go free.
This was immediately followed by the knee-jerk defense mechanism some feel for the IRA (missing the point that the post was actually an US bashing attempt and not an attack on the IRA).
And so on....

Actually I raised the issue of the ira guys living in america, mainly because I was fed up of various americans suggesting that their fellow citizens should come over to the uk and kill Aldhouse, and outrage at how could we allow a scum bag like him escape justice. I didn't realise it would be so provocative.
The reality is, he might well escape justice for similar reasons that people scape justice by hiding out in america, and he is safe from US revenge; because, on the whole, western countries don't send hit squads to kill people in each others back yards.
I wish that america could tolerant of other countries following their own laws about sending terrorist suspects back to america, in the same way that they expect the rest of us to do. Kidnapping people overseas to bring them to the states or to outsource their torture in some third country is just not right.
The repression that is used to justify irish terrorism; is not that different to the activities that the US has been involved in many countries in the world and I was surprised that the US got as far as 2001 before this came back to haunt them. The complete lack of balls their society has shown when facing this risk is truly disheartening. The way that islamic terrorism has been allowed to dominate their international and domestic policies would give the impression that terrorism is the primary cause of non-medical death in america, then in reality its probably car drivers.
