John Lennon and Paul McCartney where both born in Liverpool, England therefore I am somewhat confused as to the reason that they wrote the songs Bloody Sunday and Give Ireland Back to the Irish. Apart from the fact that the British were commiting -well that is what it would be classed as if it occured in any other nation- war crimes. These men must have some other motivation behind these songs other than highlighting the wrongdoings of their own country. I would be grateful to anyone who can shed some light on this matter. My own conclusion is that growing up in Liverpool with such surnames they must be second generation Irish men, does anyone know if this is the case.

Charlotte
I think they were Irish indeed.
But no need to be Irish to see the crimes of the Brits in Ireland (As proven by all the non-Irish who are on this website)
setanta
fair dues to them then. it takes balls for somone from England to put themself in the spot light with a song like that. I see you have the Ballad of Mairead Farrell as your favourite song, the anniversary of her murder is round this time. where is this website based America?



Patrick
That is what I had always heard of McCartney and Lennon. Very Powerful words though Dont MAKE them HAVE to TAKE it away
setanta
well if they make us take it back we will do what we did to them in the rugby today!! ha ha. Ya will never beat the irish!!!! For those of you in the land beyond the waves Ireland beat England in the Six nations today, wipeeee something to take the piss out of them with.

I'll post only once in responce to the rant of this person.

Please feel free report us to the FBI, if you e-mail me I'll give you my name and address.

I don't think it's clever or brave of you to anonymously make offensive postings here and can only assume you are very young or very stupid to do this.

As an American, to complain of atrocities commited by the governments of other countries, then you also display an ignorance of current world events. I'm sure the people of Iraq would be happy to ...errr , discuss your country's foreign policy.

With such a lack of general knowledge then maybe you should use this forum correctly and then you might learn something.

If you want to debate then you are welcome, if you want to offend then I would suggest everyone else ignores you, then you'll soon get bored.

Don't forget to email me.

Well you must have got a few laughs when you and a few silly wee friends type a few funny messages. Think of all that street cred, you must be overjoyed. Do you think you will still be posting on here in two weeks?

"I'm reporting this website to the FBI."

psml when i heard this, do you think the FBI have the time to talk to you and even if they did what are they going to do? Arrest people for standing up for what they beleive in?

You've been asleep too long, mate. You have no social life, due to the fact that no-one wants to know you because you like terrorists. Scum like you aren't worth to be known.

You couldn't get a date if you bought them dried in a tin, you under-medicated, rump-ruptured chronic self-abuser. You're the kind of greasy, giggling, girly gombeen who buys STDs from a viral lab just to make it look like you get laid. Calling you a pea brain would be an insult to peas, you jellyfish-sucking mental midget. Like your height, everything about you is average; except your stench - which is overwhelming. Your weight may well be proportional, but you've got cellulite that makes sumo wrestlers look anorexic. You're as useful as anti-wrinkle cream in a lepor colony, you clodhopping simpleton. What makes you such an asshole? Is it the flawed family birthing process of the father sucking the infant spawn from the mother's rectum and spitting it headfirst into the tin bath?

I've seen more likeable people than you and your "friends" here in a fucking jail.

seems like you don't know where you are and who I am.
First we are on a Republican forum : there are only civilised people in here, u're mixing with the wrong crowd.
Secondly I am a moderator of this forum. It means if u do not lower your tone (yet you're still allowed to have an opinion, as long as you express it with respect) I'll apply to you the exact same treatment as I applied to Lancashire : each of your post will be deleted until you learn good manners and I'll raise your warning level to 25% as a warning. Now, lower the voice or fuck off you racist wanker.

Oh so you're some kind of vanguard for an international movement of... what? Rabid naysayers who log on to websites they assume to be offensive and promote their hatred through hurling abuse (and not very clever abuse at that) to show their intellectual and moral superiority?

I would actually be interested in meeting these other people who share your views (sic). Tell me, are any of them capable of rationally discussing these said views or are they all just the abusive, foaming-at-the-mouth-kind we've been getting lately? You, sir, are a knave.
Charlotte
All you're asked is to share these views with respect for everyone. Abuse are not tolerated here. No stop acting as if you were a poor victim of censorship, explain your views calmly and let people answer you. No need to be a racist and to insult everyone to explain your views : it only shows how stupid they are.

I don't ASSUME it to be offensive, little boy, it IS offensive. This website is sick. Fucking sick like YOU, you fucking Finnish Fuck. If I ever saw you in the street I'll kick the living daylights out of you.

You're all sick fucks. You sick fucking fuckwits.

I'm really wondering if the half of his English vocabulary contains the word fuck... It's really getting funny at the end he's making a complete "fuckin fuckwit" of himself.

whats a fuckwit? the same like a seapig?

how can I ignore that??? its so funny, I have to read it

I believe a 'fuckwit' is someone like IRAbastards, who you love to 'fuckwit' laugh.gif

Finnish Fuck? And threats of physical violence? LANCA! You're back!

Seriously now, if you feel like calming down a bit and actually talking about things, I'd appreciate talking about your views. For example, are you opposed to all forms of fighting and killing, or just some? Are there some causes that justify the ending of human life? How do you feel about "your troops" in Afghanistan and Iraq? What's your take on the prisoners at Camp X-ray in Guantanamo Bay?

Hanging on the gates of puberty? Well, if it takes a person still in the middle of puberty to show people who are suppsoed to be fully-grown adults right from wrong, it certainly says a lot.

What's Guantanamo Bay got to do with the British? It's an American prison.

How am I stupid?

Since when has Guantanamo Bay been British? The damn place is in Cuba run by the Americans.

I think you've been listening to too much Irish propganda, talking about "those evil Brits in Guantanamo", a place run by the American military with not a Brit in sight.

In what way did he show us right from wrong? Was it between the "under-medicated rump-ruptured chronic self-abuse" and the "pea-brained jellyfish-suckling"? Or was it in Aisle 9 beside the wrinkle cream and the cellulite treatment? Because I dont know how, in what way, launching a torrent of pitiful and generic insults which are more comically ridiculous than hurtful at a wide group of people spanning all ages, nationalites, cultures and political belief's, is showing them right from wrong. But hey, seeing as you Shadow, the oh-so-righteous and holier-than-thou art so superior and true, say that it is so...then it is so.

Assuming you, Shadow, are a real person and not just Lancashire in one of his many phony aliases, you'll notice my reply was to "IRAbastard" who claims to be American. Thus, reference to "your troops" would be American troops, who, as you correctly pointed out, man the Guantanamo Bay compound named Camp X-Ray.

I wasn't suggesting X-ray is being run by the Brits, I was just interested in hearing "IRAbastard"'s view on concentration camps in general. Frankly, I don't even know where the hell you got the idea I though Guantanamo Bay is a Brit garrison. I have my facts straight.

Anyway, while we are on the topic. How do you feel about killing in general? I mean, you're accusing the IRA of murdering pregnant women, but is it equally wrong when Loyalist terrorists do it? Or the British government/army?
Christophe
