When your ancestors have call a place 'home' for 3 centuries, you're part of that country, no matter what. No one is looking through British DNA to send the Normans back to France, are they? But posting this kind of comments about people who do feel they have legitimate grievance and excusing the Orange marches as "a family day out" (which, i am sure, it also is) does mark you as biased...

Well no, TBH, i wasn't aware that the jews in Versaw related to the Nazis, which would be pretty 'cut and dry' as an issue.

I sure has hell have no clue about the Palestinian & Israel conflict and who's 'right' or 'wrong' if those words even have meaning in such a situation.

So because they feel they have a legitimate grievance i should stand idly by while they petrol bomb, and attempt to murder? Like i said, if there were peaceful protests against them i'd be half tempted to take part, because it is bodies like the LOLs that keep reliigon embedded within our culture (not desirable IMO) but these people are just out to cause chaos, and they do it in the knowlegde that well educated and senseable people will defend their actions as 'legitimate grevancces'

And given the numbers of people from Ireland they had on the news being interviewed who had taken a day trip up with their family to see the spectical (not to mention the record number of Irish bands that took places in marches all over the country) then i would say it is a family day out

Not.

Well i don't know if you've ever been to a 12th, i've been to a few and never heard any songs sang, infact i only know the words to two (The Nationan Anthem and The Sash) and while there are versions of the Sash that talk about "James and all his rebel scum" ect, that is in only one of the 6 versions of the song. Quite how somone can tell which version is being played without hearing the words i don't know, i guess its a case of those who will want to find it offensive, will.

As for marching through neibourhoods, there is really only one thats a 'problem' the garvaghy road , and every year there's the same dance, 'We have a right to go up it' 'We have the right to not let you go up it' and so on. I think they use to be able to march up it with just one drum tapping for beat, but they haven't been allowed to march up it in years

Dunno why but you haven't addressed why so many Irish people felt the need to come up and join in in this 'celebration of their suppression' =/

Well those girls are clealy idiots.
And i have no doubt that there were many on the streets of Belfast on the 12th who were idiots.
But to say that some seeing 'kill all taigs' justifies petrol bombings and firing guns at the police is a bit of a strench no? (Not to mention that given the number of Cathoilics in th PSNI these upset folks were likly targeting there own 'side' (as they see it anyway, not that that has any bearing on reality, because as i said, they are out to cause trouble for troubles sake, knowing they'll be defended for it.)

The poor oppressed have been busy bees again, 2 nights ago they planted a 200lb bomb in LondonDerry city centre, and we were wonderfully lucky there were no deaths.

And lastnight they planted a bomb on the care of an army Major who lives a few streets away from me. But for the fact they are not better bomb makers he would be dead.

An Army major who escaped a dissident republican murder bid when a booby trap bomb fell off his car without detonating is lucky to be alive, police have said. The officer was driving away from his home in a private development in Bangor, Co Down, on Wednesday morning when he noticed a suspicious object lying on the driveway.

5 Bombs in 14 days, the one set off today shows they have no care for who these bombs hurt/kill. Again if it wasn't fir sheer luck we could of had a death toll today, possibly of three children. Scumbags.

THREE children were injured in a bomb attack in Northern Ireland yesterday in what police said was an attempt to target officers after a loyalist parade in Co Armagh. A two-year-old and two 12-year-olds miraculously suffered only minor injuries from flying debris when the device exploded in a wheelie bin in Lurgan. Police added that there was no warning of the blast in North Street and said it was an "obvious" attempt to kill or injure officers after a "vague" warning of a device in a local school in a neighbouring area. Chief Inspector Sam Cordner said: "The criminals involved are cowardly and have no regard for human life. "It is an absolute miracle that these children were not more seriously injured by this sickening attack." Sinn Fein's Upper Bann Assembly member John O'Dowd, said: "Those who planted this device in the middle of this residential area are void of any sense of social or political responsibility." No one else was injured.
