You win.............................................................. The chance to live another day! =D
My IRL nickname (no idea where that came from) and a failed attempt at making it an organisation name.

Beer is stale, cider and vodka and tequila and shots FTW <3
Another example of why gun laws in the USA need to be tightened. This had nothing to do with the fact it was Black Friday (an odd name in itself), it was just a coincidence that it happened on that day.
Pimps and brothels are illegal in the UK. Prostitutes (I think) are only allowed to work alone and if the authorities think that two or more are joining forces it is defined as a brothel. Curb crawling is illegal too I think, not sure how you are supposed to hire their services though xD
To begin with, Catholics do not believe in contraception therefore their birth rates will be higher. Secondly, during the Troubles it was war. Literally. The rules that apply now cannot be applied to back then. The IRA declared war on the UK and they got the response that that declaration warranted. Also, do you really think I am ignorant enough not to know about the other attacks during the Troubles? The attacks on mainland Britain, the civilians killed for being informants by their own side whether they did or not? And yes the black and tans were notorious, but how else is a government to attack an invisible enemy? An enemy aided and protected by republicans who went out of their way to make life difficult by the government of their country. I also resent the fact that you think I want to dismiss the lives of all those who died (on both sides) and move on. If we forget about the past we are doomed to repeat it, but if we keep dragging it up and living like the past is the present we will never escape its grasp. So no, I don't want to ignore the countless deaths, but I don't want to live my life thinking about of these people who I would never have known. The north will remain with the UK indefinitely, any more fighting will just result in more pain and suffering which will be completely in vain and to be honest rather selfish. Many people don't agree with what the paramilitaries are doing (a rather large percentage I believe, considering the amount of public outrage there is whenever a new attack happens) so most actions by paramilitary groups are done out of their own self-interests. One final point I would like to make is that you assume all of the black and tan squads were working under orders. Ever thought that they may have been driven by bias in their actions?
I used to sit at the ranch on the roof at watch the end of days 8D
So you would just boot out the large number of people who want to stay part of the United Kingdom? Also, the only reason catholics outnumber protestants is the lack of contraception i.e. breeding like rabbits. I dislike the fact that you couple being catholic with being republican. They are not the same thing =/ There are catholics who happen to be republican but there are also protestant republicans and catholic unionists. Such generalisations just fuel the conflict even more and to be honest the people of Northern Ireland just want to move on.
For the American thing I was actually referring to more recent times when the Troubles were starting to peter out and the trials begun. Known murderers who had fled to America to escape justice were protected by the American government i.e. denying justice to the families of those whom they had murdered. CtR makes the strong point of moving on. Most people who are "fighting" today are only doing so because their parents tell them to. They have been brought up to believe that the other side are their mortal enemies and that they have to hate them till the end of time. That ain't going to do very much for the rest of us who just want to get on with our lives. As for whether I want to stay with the UK or re-join Ireland I would actually want Northern Ireland to become a country in its own right xD But the UK would definitely be my second choice.
How do you know there wasn't a sniper? The Troubles weren't exactly the best time for accurate information. Both sides made stupid mistakes, Omagh bombing much? How about the bombing of a civilian remembrance service? My parents grew up in the Troubles and tell me stories about how impossible it was to get around Belfast with all of the roadblocks that had to be put up to deal with the terrorist threat. The IRA (and all other paramilitary groups for that matter) is a joke. They may have had a reason to fight way back when but now they are just not welcome. Even back then they were just being sore losers. The British won, the Irish lost boohoo get over it and stop blowing up innocents. Also, just to mention the fact that American politicians openly supported the IRA and even funded them describing them as "freedom fighters". Yeah, thanks for that. (not only that, they are now protecting the murderers from extradition saying that it wouldn't be safe to send them back for a proper trial >_>)
There ain't a lot else going on. This is all we got =/
Liars .
