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.
Christ people are retarded.
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.
And still retarded.
Most emotionally charged social-mindsets are retarded. Emotions are not a thinking-tool.
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 saw more Unionjacks in the Protestant area of Dublin recently than I remember seeing in London proper when I was there as a boy.
Dublin has a Protestant area? Where and since when? o_O
It's like any other city, some areas have natural congregations of like citizens.
EDIT: SHIT I meant Belfast. I'm sorry. I was speaking in reference to the Shankhill Road area.
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.
Uh. Worshipping saints is Catholic territory.

You're making it really hard to be sarcastic, Aldo.

Elldren, which part of the UK do you come from anyway, if you don't mind me asking?
Mboro.
Holy shit you're a Brit?
50% anyhow.
I don't really identify as from mboro generally, but that's where my family is. Really my Nans is from N. Yorkshire and my Grandad from Newcastle. I'm also half Brazilian (and was born in Brazil). I live in the U.S. but hold British citizenship.

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.
Yeeeah, but ya see the thing is, that happened over 400 years ago. I think at this stage Britain has squatters rights or some shit up. What does it even matter anymore? 400 year old grudges that are based on religion are fucking stupid, and people should cut that shit out before more people needlessly lose their lives. What would having the North back really do for us, anyway? If people had of cut the whole "The North's ours because we said so and the Brits were mean a few centuries ago" 80 years ago the Troubles could have been avoided.

Speaking of Shankhill, some guy here named himself Shankhill Butcher (the one who got himself merged with Kusu), it's easily the most tasteless name I've seen on the internet.

So that girl I've been talking to is definitely damaged goods. But I suppose the first rule of internet dating applies here, so whatever.
The term "damaged goods" is shitty as fuck. She's not goods. You don't RTV a girl who has issues due to having been abused. I wouldn't recommend dating her either but a little compassion in word-choice makes you sound less like a Terminator.

1. Yeeeah, but ya see the thing is, that happened over 400 years ago.
- And the effects of those troubles rippled out through Irish and British history. Just up and letting it go isn't likely going to happen.
2. What does it even matter anymore?
- One could say the same thing about African Americans and Southern Whites still bearing grudges.
EDIT: Or better yet, the continued troubles in the ME between Muslims and Jews
3. 400 year old grudges that are based on religion are fucking stupid, and people should cut that shit out before more people needlessly lose their lives.
- You're right, but the thing is that initial grudge has led to more violence, and hence new grudges, so while it all may have been started by the old grude, the new grudges ("You bastards killed my father/brother/sister etc") are what keeps it going. Thsoe grudges aren't exactly easy to forget.
4. What would having the North back really do for us, anyway?
- It's not so much "having it back" as restitution for having it taken away in the first place.
5. "The North's ours because we said so and the Brits were mean a few centuries ago"
- "Being mean" that's a cute colloquialism for years of oppression and near genocide.

Speaking of I need to renew my passport. :x
That's pretty fucking awesome.
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the Israeli conflict this morning.
That is a lot of rays.

To get to the guy in fronts neck?
All trampling the Shark King.
You mean, there were Protestants in the Protestant half of the city which is divided by a big-ass wall? I, for one, am shocked.
Is the name intentional though?
Only one boob?
NNID: Hakkekage
Oh Hakks :P
And the boob is a penis.
NNID: Hakkekage
Is it in her pants?
