Wow, what a strong argument. How am I going to come back on that one? Member of the school debating society were you? What world are you living in?
I don't know why I bother coming on fora such as these, filled with idiotic, illiterate, imbecilic and in-bred fools with only insults for arguments. -

YOU stated that Ireland worships the US, yet fail to give any examples to prove your point. But you go nuts when someone says thats not true. Then you question what world THEY live on? HAH thats rich!
Try searching with the keywords "shannon", "us air force", "protest". Nitwit -

No, I was wrong. You've both proved it so with your highly developed logic. The Irish are completely ambivalent towards America. No photos of various Kennedy's in thousands of homes and bars. Minister's stay at home on 17 March. Indeed, as the "shannon", "us air force", "protest" categorically proves, the Irish hate America.
What an absorbing, fascinating discussion (sic) that was. -

I do not know who that was trying to insult as I am not Irish or American, but English. I detest nothing more then you unionists trying to call yourself british when you are infact a bunch of backward looking imperial leftovers who we should of shot long ago and I am glad the IRA done what we were going to do anyway because we do not want Northern Ireland.
Now cobble along you british-wannabe mick because we english have more respect for the Irish then we would have for a bunch of inbreds who THINK they are british. -

Well It seems my friend was correct in informing me that a very loud and obnoxious troll was pawing around on this board. Good to see really as persons such as yourself do bring color to the world. Differing points of view and all that.
Interesting, Didn't you say your Family is from A. Dublin, B. Belfast, and C. Derry ( note: in true Plastic Paddy fashion I have chosen Derry over London derry) I daresay my friend your place of birth and lineage make you a son of erin. So if you are to be takin the piss of Irish people then you are yanking yourself around as well.
Now dont fret lad as you are obviously in pain as to who you are and how you feel about it. I believe there is a group or two that can help you with that. Your philosophy and out look are just the enlightened viewpoints these organizations are looking for. Try your local DUP office, or perhaps you might find some nice cuddly understanding souls in the UVF. In either case I'm really not caring about your pitiful whining self.
You're Irish, not British, get over it or get on with it.
Cheers

My maternal grandparents were born in Norwich, England and Edinburgh, Scotland; paternal both in Dublin, Ireland (incidentally, under the British Crown, so they were British at birth). I was born in Northern Ireland, UK. I have a British passport. So what nationality do you say I am?
I consider myself British first, Irish second. You know, like many claim to be American first, Irish second - or vice-versa (what's good for the goose). I dislike the centuries backward-looking Irish Republican mentality, and choose to live in forward-looking London where I am welcomed without any prejudice or ill-feeling (contrary to an earlier reply to me).
Is this getting too complicated for you? Clearly everything is so black and white in your world, no room for grey. You're either one thing or something completely opposite, nothing inbetween. And all the rules apply to everyone else. Thought of taking up holy orders? -

The former largely a nation of bitter, backward-looking, religiously-retarded and dogmatic alcoholics, the latter mostly a nation of historically ignorant, arrogant and (increasingly) fundamentalist sheep. But, specifically, combined as mostly revisionist Irish-Americans they may just be the most useless contribution to human development and advancement this world has ever seen.
I find it very laughable that the user later actually tries to say that it wasn't racism he just posted because his dad was born in Dublin. WTF?? Thats like me sayingI hate black peopleand then when people call me a racist I simply say thats not true because my father is black! LOL.
The guy is obviously a Flamebaiter/Troll. But it matters little, as his racist insults will be removed from the board anyway. (Along with his account if the admins deem it as gross racism) -

Not dissimilar to signs that can still be found in all manner of establishments in America, a country worshipped in Ireland. Hypocrisy?
You lot really are full of ignorant and ill-educated rubbish.
"no irish" signs still in america? WHAHAHA liar. If that was true those "establishments" would be sued to the last penny in a heartbeat.
a country worshipped in Ireland. Hypocrisy?
So because a portion of the american population used NINA signs in the past that means that the Irish are hypocrites for liking the US?????? Good point!
That means that japan cant be on friendly terms anymore, because americans of japanese ancestry where interned during ww II in the US. Same goes for the Italians. Hell I think that GB should stop kissing the US's ass because of the US war of independance, in which Loyalist americans where treated with "brutally".
The dutch cant be friendly anymore with the germans because of wwII
The belgians cant be friendly anymore with the dutch because of the belgian war of independance.
The list goes on and on

I dislike the centuries backward-looking Irish Republican mentality<<
The history of those times and the thoughts and opinions of those who lived in those situations at that time are, I do feel, important to learn from, and when I say 'learn from' I mean from the mistakes and the negativity and never-ending road to nowhere that sort of hatred can lead to. But the problem is that soooooo many people keep holding on to the hatred of those times and keep going on about events that happened years and years ago as though they only happened yeaterday. If one was really badly affected by those events at some points in their Lives then I think I can understand the animosity, and as I believe Sinn Fein, the DUP and other included factors from those times show, its possible to smooth that animosity over( even though not completely) and move toward a new era of Peace. But I have no time for people who never experienced any of the difficulties of that era, and yet like to act as though they did and come on to these boards acting like 'proud-republcans' or unionists.
Just my opinion on the matter. -

Allen-Butler,
Persons Like kinsella have their own
interpretation
of Living up North.
Once you hear a Northerner call County Derry 'LondonDerry' thay says it all really!! true
He may have a 'British' passport but he lives on the Island of 'Ireland' currently owned by Queen Lizzie on a piece of paper.
I know many 'Northerners' who claim themselves to be 'Irish' regardless of having a British passport or living in Belfast, Derry or any part of the Northern Ireland.
I've lived in UK with friends and have been accepted by English without problems. Basically me and my friends were..
welcomed without any prejudice or ill-feeling
And why not???
As I said people like Kinsella have their own interpretation of being from 'Northern Ireland' regardless of having parents from the Republic'!!!!
Kinsella made his own choice/decision whatever you want to call it!!!

Hi LouthChick, Yeah I know the guy is a troll. He also has made his particular, or should I say peculular ( spelling ) decision as to where he thinks he is. I simply was pointing out that he is using foolish arguments to make his case.
Now as to Derry, I have always called it that. My friend from West Belfast does as well but then again he is of nationalist bent so it goes with the thinking I guess. Actually I have a question for you if you would'nt mind answering.
My friend from Belfast has a relative in England who has invited him over for a stay. I told him he should go and check it all out but he was concerned that his nationalist viewpoint might cause some trouble. ( He's not a supporter of the IRA )****
Anyway, as you seem to have had a good experience I wonder could you tell me " what does one say when the topic of nationalism comes up in England? " He's a good lad just doesn't want to cause trouble is all.
Cheers

Hi Al,
I don't know if this will answer your question.
If I were in England I wouldn't go mouthing off as I am not stupid!!!
But I would argue a point if necessary, definatly!!!
If I were in a pub lets say and the end of the night came and say they were playing the ''British National Anthem'' I would stand up out of respect!!! (Not because I wanted to) I am in their country and I would expext them to do the same in mine.
I have myself been in that situation and I stood and my UK friends have done the same here.
The best thing to do is not to talk about politics or those negative feelings elsewhere!!!

Thanks, Louth Chick. I spoke with my friend last night and he's gonna go. He is going to try and keep a low profile as much as possible. He has family to help him get along so I'm happy for him. I honestly believe that it will be great for him to experience. I can't say as I personally have ever had any desire to go to England, but then again I have not had any reason either. However, politics aside, I think that for my mate to go and see the everyday people, will be enriching for him and hopefully give him more perspectives as to his beliefs.
Thank you again
Cheers
