Your nationalism is showing. This world is for everyone. Why does the UK deserve special status? Give up your national identity if you are not working for the world, and realise how much the EU can help you you are living in the dark age of imperialism.

How would you like the U.S.A to be carved up?

Goodbye to your national identity, your flag, your president and so on. And to be turned into a super socialist super state. I don't think many American folk would want that.

PS: I do accept that our empire under queen Victoria is long gone.

PPS: I don't trust the EU as they are working to wards an agenda.

I looked at a EU map one time and saw Ireland had given in to the mass hysteria of EU and thought, "they blew up all those poor people in London all for nothing".

They had no principal's left, even though the one's they had were wrong in being angry with England at least they had principal's ... Exchanged for the desire for EU unity. Money does that to people, doesn't it?

I may be wrong, but I think England joined EU after Ireland ...
This isn't off topic is it ... after all I am middle class with Irish roots ... :rock:

The UK will still have to trade by the EU's rules even if it is not in the EU.

We may as well have our say about the rules by staying in the EU.

Who blew up all those people in London? If you're talking about the IRA, thanks for tanning us all with the same brush. Really, it makes me feel great to be lined up with murderers and criminals.

Ireland's membership of the EU is a cause of our current prosperity, not a symptom. And it's "principles", by the way.

Both the UK & the Republic of Ireland joined in 1973. Actually, on the same day.
Joining the EU is one of the best decisions an Irish government has ever made.

Ireland letting her starving masses migrant to America was the best decision Ireland ever made. Maybe I'm wrong about EU, but I will never be wrong about Ireland. :up:

Wrong AND offensive. Would you mind answering the question in my previous post? I'm not sure what you meant.
Sadly, emigration wasnt so much a choice as a necessity. It's a shame that for a country that's been spread far and wide, we haven't been so welcoming to modern migrants.

How?

Congrats ASW :)
He's inferring that Ireland, as a nation, murdered British people. He's ascribing the actions of a terrorist group to an entire nation.

So, in essence, you are saying he is calling himself a terrorist?

I don't know until he clarifies what he meant, which makes this little exchange fraught with poassible inaccuracies.....but no, i don't think he is.

I think Tchocky is saying we need to eliminate all terrorism by any means and under any circumstance.

I can't argue with someone I love ... I love the Irish, I've watched the movies about their cause, I've read the news about their cause, I've always been pro Christ and forgave both religions and their difference's, I've always been on the Irish side except the killing of innocent people's in England. I've watched the anger get less and less, but yet I know it is still smoldering in the stubborn factions.

I pray for their unity and believe ... I've only met a few people from Ireland, but will always admire their strength and understand that a soul is everything you put into it. My father's father came from Ireland and to make a long story short, I've had to adopt them (the Irish) because my father decided to take off after WWII was over, leaving me to always wonder who the Irish really are.

I'm not going to argue with you is the bottom line ... we would just start putting the gloves on and as everyone knows you can't pick up a mug of ale with the gloves on. :know:

Um, OK then.

Please stop bringing the Irish under one banner. We don't have a cause. Like any other country, sections of the population have certain beliefs and causes, other sections have others. There is no such thing as "an Irish cause". I'm not trying to argue, but I am going to disagree with you :). Saying that the Irish "blew up all those people in London" makes me very, very angry. But that's alright, I'm an angry person :p

I don't get the United Ireland idea, but I've gone into that a couple of times here so ne'ermind...
Just another country, man.
Ale? For crying out loud have a stout!

heres the trail of falling dominos (domino effect)

1. jobs start going to asian markets and sweatshops and mexican illegal aliens start taking jobs.
2. middle class workers start losing jobs.
3.middle class turns into low income class
4. low income class turns into class with guns and gangs and (becomes ghetto town,city etc..)
5. no money means no food
6.no food means humans will kill to feed themselves (humans have been proven ever since our existence and evolution to kill as many as possible to satisfy our hunger.
7.when humans start killing and stealing to feed em selves the high class who own all te food companies etc.. start falling apart ( no customers cuz they got no money)
8. then citizens take up arms cuz government didnt do anything in the beggining and no control over citizens = u r FUBAR:down:,
9. all hell breaks loose and revolution starts
10. other countries intervene to calm everything down.
11.civies get military stuff cuz they overran the armed forces and national guard,
12. so now u got almost 300 million people with basically the top of the line military technology that are hungry and pissed :hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm: plus they got nukes:dead:


:hmm::hmm::hmm: this is prolly worst case scenario but who knows crazy things happened in this home we call earth over the centuries
