Payback really is a bitch.

As a proud Antrim man are you still following the fortunes of the Tyrone club Derrytresk ?

[Mike Sheehy]

Yes. I was in Derrytresk just over a week ago. Great people.

Are you still bad mouthing Declan O'Sullivan to get on their good side ?

Why is religion forced on kids at GCSE level. my son picking his now and it's mandatory?

[Mike Sheehy]

He's one deplorable individual. Always the victim. Yuck!

bad form 

so do you still want to force Irish on unionists ? what are you going to do if they refuse to cooperate ?

The issue here is that for unionists and their many fellow travellers, any attempt to stop them engaging in cultural extermination is interpreted as an "attack". It is like asking a burglar to stop robbing houses and live like everyone else, and for them to claim that you were attacking their "culture".

honestly, these days, do you really feel culturally threatened by unionists ?

Everybody knows that they are on the defensive. Why rub it in? It is just history repeating itself.

rise above it.

"Rise above it"

This is the kind of slippery language that implies that being Irish is a mere act of revenge on British Empire. We don't have to touch the forelock and there is no shame in being Irish in Ireland.

Wouldn't have a problem with that if it were an actual course on world religions and the philosophies behind them. Problem with the GCSE curriculum I got pushed into doing was it was all about the taig church, and all other belief systems were either misrepresented or given lip service. I'd prefer it if RE were replaced by a broader subject called philosophy which would include some of the stuff now studied in RE, but put in a clearer context.

Sorry for derailing the thread in the last post, it's a bit tedious when every thread becomes the same old discussion about religion.

I agree with a lot of the sentiments on this thread about how Irish tends to be abused in the north. Sinn Fein seem to be hell bent on weaponizing the language, which does it a disservice and ultimately alienates the unionists even more, which is the opposite of what we should be doing if we want to bring them under the umbrella of a united Ireland.
