The British terrorized the Irish in history, the potato famine for example Ireland had NO FOOD and the British just done nothing, let thousands of children and people die too, so is that acceptable?But if you DO think that they are terrorists, then you're obviously boardering on extreme if you don't believe that the IRA are too... This is exactly the same as others, radicalised muslims don't see terrorists as terrorists, they see them as freedom fighters. The IRA TERRORIZED british people.

I'm sorry, but I think events that happened in the 19th Century are not valid today, as it's not a real representation of present Britain. We also had issues with USA at this time, but we don't hold grudges now do we? To the British governemt of that time, Ireland was a burden to them anyway.
If N.Ireland comes united with R.O.I, your only going to upset the Loyalists, which will create further problems. It's fine as it is.

LOL OMG
this ignorant chav came into my work last night like
'oh maaaa god, yer wearin green i thought dat was a celtic top!!!!1'
i just hate the way people are so ignorant no adays
what if i was a catholic? who actually cares
the problem is the chavs who just want to fight i think LOL
Can you honestly say that? The fact that Ireland itself was exporting the food to England despite the famine shows that they themselves didn't understand the gravity of the case? If anything, your exporters terrorized Ireland, not Britain. We didn't terrorize them, we just continued our business as usual.
Also, the IRA were terrorists, whether or not its your opinion; Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or ideological goals.
for god sake if the irish cared about any of this they would do something about it
this thread is very boring
If this thread is boring please don't comment on it. And the Irish are doing something about it, theres still some violence in NI nowadays (not as much though)
The republicans in Ireland are upset nowadays what about them? Also I don't remember saying that what happened then is a representation of Britain todayI'm sorry, but I think events that happened in the 19th Century are not valid today, as it's not a real representation of present Britain. We also had issues with USA at this time, but we don't hold grudges now do we? To the British governemt of that time, Ireland was a burden to them anyway.

You talk like it's only the Republicans that matter. To be honast, your never going to get a united Ireland because nobody gives enough off a damm to do anything dramatic anymore.
