I have Irish roots (love the Irish) and empathize with their plight and hate any form of oppression and injustice by colonial powers.
In fact, I hate any kind of oppression/injustice.. full stop.. (next paragraph lol).
It's of little consolation, but my favorite UFC fighter, Connor McGregor is extracting revenge one KO at a time

A member of the IRA goes upto the gates of Heaven, and St Peter says to him, "I'm sorry you're not coming in, you've been bad!"
The IRA member turns round to St Peter and says, "I don't want to come in..but you've got 10 minutes to get out!"

how is it really different to ISIISSIISSI ?
bombings and other atrocities against innocent civilians living in the same country but different religion ?
It may seem so until you realise that the overlords were protestants and the underdogs were catholics and the fight actually was about the underdogs freedom from being ruled by the overlords.Originally Posted by baldrick
And you think that the ISIS mob think much differently?
Personally, I couldn't give a flying fcuk about the Doolins and the Proddys.
They don't give a shit about what went on in NZ years ago.
If somebody started a thread about the Khmer Rouge , nobody bats an eyelid. Around 2 million people killed.....all in our lifetime.
