sidemunch88 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 God gave them their own island to live on, so why are they surprised when the Irish fight them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I do believe you've just solved the whole dilema! somebody must send a message to the Queen! she must not have realized this! she thought she could leave her monceys anwhere she wanted, little did she know that God had given her an island upon which to let her monceys live! I shall write the letter immediately [quote]Your Majesty, It has recently come to our attention that your monceys are living on the wrong island and it is causing wars. Please move your monceys at once and stop telling us how to spell our own langage. Thank you, Aloysius[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightofChrist Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 All of Ireland should be free from British Rule. The Brits stole Ireland long ago, they gave Hong Kong to China, why not give Northern Ireland back to the people it actually belongs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidemunch88 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 China is a major military power, Ireland isn't. That, my friend, is the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God the Father Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I was born on a Dublin street where the loyal drums did beat And those loving English feet they walked all over us And every single night when me da would come home tight He'd invite the neighbours out with this chorus Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Come let us here you tell how you slandered great Parnell When you thought him well and truly persecuted Where are the snears and jeers that you loudly let us hear When our leaders of Sixteen where executed Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Come tell us how you slew them oul Arabs two by two Like the Zulus they had spears and bow and arrows How bravely you faced one with your sixteen pounder gun And you frightened them beaver dam natives to the marrow Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Now the time is coming fast and I think them days are here When each English shawneen he'll run before us And if there'll be a need then our kids will say God speed With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 What do you think the Queen would think of my letter? I bet if she saw my letter she'd think it that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't think the Queen would be very interested. Plus there's the fact that she doesn't really have any power anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 [quote name='Noel's angel' date='Feb 23 2006, 02:05 PM']I'm afraid my American friends that life just isn't that simple, especially over here. [right][snapback]895748[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Bingo. One of my closest friends studied at the University of Ulster and she found that the situation is extremely complicated. What she also told me is that, the south of Ireland have grown rather complacent about the whole thing, and that in reality there are citizens in Northern Ireland that may be Irish but don't want things to change, and want to remain part of the U.K. for various political or socioeconomic reasons (at the time they explained it to her.) I also think the idea that this is some sort of "religious" conflict is a bunch of hooey. It's easy for Americans of Catholic Irish heritage to somehow gloss it over and glamorize it as being a good old Catholic vs. Protestant fight and that the good Catholic Irish should get their land back from those bloody evil Protestant British, but that seems nowdays to be a cartoon version of reality. I'm doubtful that anything will change for quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
