And the Red Poppies Dance

[Gnevin]

its sad how much you have shown yourself up here. Just just like Big Ian, rant rant rant

I don't know, you try to do a lad a favour, and the abuse!

How about this little piece of memorabilia:

or this one

[Gnevin]

Would you have been a young or old lion for the empire Gnevin?

So would you remember the Irish who died fighting in the US civil war, if so which side? What about in the Congo, or spain?

[his holiness nb]

Time to stop living in the past maybe?

I think this sums up the new breed of person in modern day Ireland. Harbour any ill will towards Britain and you are living in the past, embrace them and you are with the times.

Reminds me of people who think acting rude to waiters makes them look posh  

Ironic that we are told to stop living in the past when they have spent the past few days ranting on and on about what happened almost 100 years ago and how people should be acting on it now in 2008.

Your top pic Gnevin  is of WWII, which was a direct result of WWI... D'oh!

So would you remember the Irish who died fighting in the US civil war, if so which side? What about in the Congo, or spain?

Almost right, except for one (minor) detail: neither the US, nor the Congoese, nor the Spanish were occupying Ireland or any part thereof, when Irishmen answered their call to arms. Apart from that, your point is lethal.

But if they were occupying or invading a other country and Irish fought you'd remember them too?

I dont think its a new bread of anything, you choose to forget these men that fought for Ireland. And no matter haw many ways you go around it I never supported Britain in any arguement here.

You and that other Republican probably think all the IRA murders were justified

I tend only to remember those men who are worthy of remembrance, and I don't need to don a Royal British Legion poppy to parade it.

So, you wanted Britain to win the wars, and you laud the lads who fought for her, but you weren't supporting her?  And in case it hasn't dawned on you, Ireland declared war on no one, therefore no soldiers were fighting for her.

You and that other Republican probably think all the IRA murders were justified 

Let's stick to the subject eh?

You can stop living in the past with out forgetting your past . This is not about Britain it about Irish men who happened to fight for Britain

Don't you think that your powers of comprehension are under enough pressure, without introducing new topics?

This is not about Britain it about Irish men who happened to fight for Britain

By accident was it?

[Mentalman]

Might be as well to wrap this thread up? It's the usual here, if people can't win the arguement then they rubbish the context. In that case you might as well one up them, take your ball and go home.

Well Fear ón Srath Bán ruinned the thread awhile back when he start his bigoted rants and started calling us Brits just because he doesnt agree with history and even tho it was pointed out that in noway did we support the crown like most of the Irish men who fought. He's no better than Big Ian or Kevin Myers...

I will lock the thread up boys!
