My youngest was mad for the partying with her friends at college in Liverpool, but I'm not sure who that girl is now.. All fresh food, no calories, cooks her own stuff which is great, running, at the gym and not looking to go out as the after effects aren't worth it, prefers to get up and goes with me on the 5k walk with the dogs at stupid 0'Clock in the morning!

The other daughter not bothered either, in fairness one night out for her and she was toast for 3 days or more!

Kids are soft now! lol, brunch, coffees, holidays, looking after themselves, the onset of the likes of social media and online influencers have created a different kind of people, for the good and the bad in a lot of areas

So let's get this straight - you trust America and it's chosen people buddies?

I don't trust conspiracy loonies

So with that in mind, give me your break down on who took out the towers

Please back it up with actual facts though

I was working at Short brothers in Belfast, it hit, or maybe was convenient at the time the aviation industry massively

Huge redundancies hit after that as the commercial and private airlines companies were hit with various contracts being cancelled and this led to lads losing their jobs.

The blame game continues and no loss of life in any war, conflict, proxy is worth it, pain of a loved one taken in deepest Congo through war is no different to a loved one lost during the Twin Towers attack

Never sure why people do that, watched a clip the other day, the fella, a loyalist, killed his work mate, asked him to help him fix his car, the fella drove himself to his own death, he dumped him in the boot of the car. The man served 12 years came out of jail and hung himself weeks after the interview.. no cause is worth the pain caused, it's perpetual though, pain and grief generates hate and revenge and the cycle continues

Quote from: Puckoon on September 11, 2026, 03:22:07 PMThere is and should be no hierarchy of victims and tragedy in this world.

The level of intended terror however that was unleashed on the western world in 9/11, the london attacks etc... was unparalleled. Terror, not just destruction. It was designed for maximum chaos, pain, confusion - sheer terror.

Israel aside, I do not think that was ever the MO of the US or UK in their responses and the execution of the "war on terror".

 

By whom?

I think some people feel that pain and suffering in some far away place in Africa is less to that when it was brought upon places like Madrid/Paris/London/New York and while that is a small small fraction of the carnage that goes on everywhere else, it was still horrific and terror

As said already and I've said it many times, there is zero hierarchy of victims and suffering, excusing/blaming is daft

Probably not looking forward to meeting Trump

Quote from: Rossfan on September 11, 2026, 01:24:18 PMHow many millions since needlessly and unjustly lost their lives to the actions of the 2 terrorist States of US and Israel?

Millions lost before the buildings came down in various wars/proxy's, acted as a catalyst for the 'war on terror' which in turn 'allowed' the US to have carte blanche with world politics/war and enforcing things openly rather than the behind the scenes they'd been doing for years.

So who will get the $5,000 from Trump? If he wins, will he pays out to all registered Republicans?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMIreland can be just called Ireland, not Republic of Ireland, as that, to the unionist, might appease the name

It already is, no change there.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMDevolved government in the regions of the provinces, so running the place mainly is still within its own areas

what are these going to do?


Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMAn inclusive National Anthem, (I know, but hear me out)

A nation once again?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMInclusion for the Northern prods to be still part of the British Commonwealth, having that dual nationality

We could all join the Commonwealth as Ireland has independent links to Australia, Canada etc.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PM50 years of NHS continued funding for those that feel they want that, others may decide to follow a Southern Ireland format

Do you mean free care or the lower level of expenditure?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMAll public state pensions to be honored until they die, if Northerners want to keep their 'own' state pension they can

Pensions are complex, but people in the NI may mostly want the higher Irish rates.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMBenefits to match the best available. Be that the UK one or the Irish one

Sinn Féin would vote for that. Will we also have the highest taxes of either of the present systems to pay for it?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 09, 2026, 01:56:05 PMThe 12th is still a National Holiday, parades to still be allowed and obviously parades commission still reviewing them

The battle of the Boyne is not a proper thing to commemorate in a holiday. But you could put the second Monday in July as a holiday and let people spend it as they wish. 




I'm not speaking for me, I said that in the post. It's about posing questions or conditions that they may want answered, I'm personally not really concerned about though, as I'm not a loyalist or a unionist

But are you willing to bend to their requests/demands if a UI was granted? What are you willing to compromise for a UI?

For at the minute, it's not happening in your lifetime

How much are you prepared to bend or willing to give up to create a new Ireland tomorrow?
