Also: As far as I'm concerned, Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. There are people who disagree. Therein lie the problems of the last 400 or so years.
Do you honestly think the million or so Protestants up there would have been treated fairly had their country been amalgamated into the Republic with it's vast catholic majority?
Probably about as fairly as Oliver Cromwell treated the Catholics in the North.
So two wrongs make a right?
Guys we already have a Palestine/Israel thread
...wait a second...
You know, when the Glasgow football clubs decided to crack down on the sectarian shit, one of the things they did was prohibit Irish Tricolours, The Red Hand of Ulster, and the Union Flag from matches. So the two sides starting bringing Palestinian and Israeli flags instead.
I wish I was making that up.
hahahahahaha

That's kind of awesome
It's really not. It's completely retarded in every sense.
It's often difficult to explain this to people from outside Scotland, but for a lot of these idiots they really mean it. They will sing "The Sash" in the stands and mean every fucking word.
People get killed over this. Routinely.
People here affiliate themselves with celtic for no other reason their catholicism. People really don't seem to get how fucking retarded that is.

I can't imagine a Daft Punk concert being very fun considering they'd basically just be a glorified disco with copious amounts of pot smoke in the air.
Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain because Great Britain is an island.
It is, however, part of the United Kingdom. This is a fact.
There are many people in Ulster Country who would angrily disagree with you.
I was going to say, correct in the technical, dictionary definition sense, but complicated by the fact that people in Ulster are still correctly identified as British. Plus, say it to the wrong person and you'll start fights.

I saw more Unionjacks in the Protestant area of Dublin recently than I remember seeing in London proper when I was there as a boy.

Imagine the Israel-Palestine conflict, but ten or fifteen years after the cessation of hostilities. For some people it's a similar situation, and just as incendiary.

But last I checked it wasn't the Irish Catholics "settling" (stealing land) from the English with the blessing of the monarchy.
... did you just try to compare the plantations with the Omagh bombings? That's fucked up and wrong on too many levels.
What? Omagh was an IRA job. I'm saying I have no love for either side, but I still know damn well who started it when Oliver fucking Cromwell began "granting land" to Protestant settlers- ie taking it from the Catholics who lived on those farms originally.

If those catholics would just stop praying to mary and adding books to the bible and worshipping saints they woudn't get themselves in so much trouble.
I think we can see who really has the problem here.

I never said that. I was in Omagh when this happened: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omagh_bombing

I just got the following from someone on OKCupid:
"Hello,
I'm looking for a D&D group to join to play a shifter ranger in the Eberron Campaign Setting under 3.5 rules--could you help me with that?"
o_O
hahahaha. No time for Love Dr. Jones.
Sounds like true love
Uh no. Just no.
Daft Punk puts on a fucking amazing concert.
Pretty sure it's a dude. :P
