| | Written by Patrick. (09/03-2003) | We all have our own perspective of things. Thats only natural. With the U.S. on the brink of war, I think a little humor is always welcome. As much as I dislike and disagree with George Bush, I find it very funny that he will not let Gerry Adams come to the whitehouse on St. Patricks day this year, like he did last year. He has declared Adams (in so many words) a terrorist. Personaly, I think Gerry Adams is a traitor, but what the hell do I know?
SAOIRSE! |
| | Written by peacemaker. (09/03-2003) | | Big Pat has spoken. Thanks for not giving me a history lesson, i can't stand them. No doubt we will disagree on some issues, were only human. Everybody will defend their own culture, nomatter where their culture came from! At least i am having a sensible debate with someone now, who has the ability to see both sides of the coin. BUT even still someone will probably find something about this statement to criticise. Then again Maybe Not!!! Who knows, maybe we'll all mellow a bit, including me. |

| | Written by Brian. (08/03-2003) | Well said, Paddy... well said.
Initially, the only thing that will change when there is a united Ireland will be the origins of the governing body. The arguments and prejudices will remain. The challenge of benefitting from freedom begins. The challenge of being "bigger" and better than our captors begins. The challenge to do what is right, to fight the plainly human urge for revenge... begins.
No simple answers.
Ireland to Ireland.
SAOIRSE, not heaven on earth.
Nice Job Big Pat. |

| | Written by Big Pat. (08/03-2003) | Every time I get annoyed by the pointless garbage on this site, a few thoughtful individuals keep me coming back to the debate. Well done, there's some smart folks on both sides.
Peacemaker made the point that no-one can be held responsible for what their ancestors did over the past 800 years (I’m paraphrasing a bit!) He/she is absolutely right on this point. Give the land back? Be realistic. Should a small-time farmer in Fermanagh give up the farm he was born and raised on? Should he seek out the descendants of the unjustly displaced and work out which of them was most deserving? No, it wasn’t his fault and it’s not theirs. It happened. We should ACKNOWLEDGE history, but not be bound by it. Those who cannot remember the past may be doomed to repeat it, but those who live in the past will never move forward. There may be some dubious good to be gained from examining events from the sixties onwards, at least some of the bereaved may find some peace and some of the murderers may be brought to justice. On both sides. But there’s bugger all to be gained by raking over the long dead coals of 1690 and points north.
The only way the future of Northern Ireland should be decided is by democracy. I have no time for anyone who argues otherwise. That just leaves the question of who has a right to vote. Everyone in Northern Ireland? Everyone in ALL of Ireland? Or everyone in all of Ireland and all of the UK? I’m pretty sure options 2 and 3 would both result in a united Ireland and a time is soon coming when option 1 will too. But this must be a political decision, not a (para)military one. Don’t like/trust the politicians we have? Then get involved! Get out and vote! Tiocfaidh ar la? Yes, it WILL, but we shouldn’t kill anyone for it.
I’m not certain I agree with EVERYTHING Peacemaker says, esp. that Catholics have equal rights. The law may say they do, but the inequalities are at a deeper and subtler level than that. It has improved, but we have to keep at it.
And it’s great to see some good gags on here too! It does us all good to laugh at ourselves now and again.
Keep talking, keep debating, keep questioning. Keep the peace. |
| | Written by Charlotte Verified user. (07/03-2003) | Do you really think we could actually promise you such a thing? Of course some people will want to get their revenge for the last 800 years : that's only human. As the Brits could never promise them they could live peacefully with equal rights and this in the laws, but also in the facts. How many awful stories did I hear about friends living in Belfast and getting beaten up by the PSNI for god knows what.
The point is not what we can promise to you. The point is what you have to give back to the Irish : their land. Then, we'll do our best to keep the peace safe. But don't reverse it. First you do what you ought to. Then, they will see what they can do to protect you.

| | Written by joker. (07/03-2003) | Gerry Adams is visiting a school. In one class he asks the students to give him an example of a 'tragedy'.
A little boy stands up, venturing, "If my best friend was playing in the street and got struck and killed by a car - would that be a tragedy?"
"No," replies Paisley. "That would be an ACCIDENT."
Next, a girl raises her hand and suggests a schoolbus carrying fifty children falling off a cliff, killing everyone involved would be tragedy.
"I’m afraid not," says Gerry. "That would be a GREAT LOSS."
The room falls silent. None of the other children volunteer an example.
"What?!" glares Gerry. "Are there none among you who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Timidly, a boy from the back of the class raises his hand. "If an airplane carrying The Pope, Gerry Adams, and Martin McGuinness were blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy."
"Wonderful!" beams Gerry. "Marvellous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it certainly would be no fucking great loss!"

A UFO lands on Garvaghy Road. An alien disembarks and is immediately confronted by Brendan Mac Cionnaith.
"Are you Catholic or Protestant?" demands Brendan.
"Neither," replies the alien. "I'm Martian".
"Then piss off!" orders Brendan. "Nobody's martian down this road!!" |
