The people of Ulster have voted in a bunch of loonies who honestly believe thjat the tsunami occurred because Asia is not Christian, and that Hurricane Katrina happened because of a planned Gay Mardi Gra.

Holy shit, where exactly are the DUP leading us- the 5th century....BC???

Up Ulster

What on Earth are you talking about? Victimisation? What's victimisation? Saying that most people in Germany realise that World War 2 was not a defeat of Germany but a defeat of Naziism?

You say the young people in Germany are being "victimised" - how are they being victimised?

"when you consider this then take into account that since they weren't responsible for the nazi atrocities it is a form of victimisation"

What's a form of victimisation? You ramble on about the new generation not being responsible for Germany's past but I've never once said they are!!

The people I'm writing about are trying to portray Nazis as victims!

Believe me I lie right of centre myself and am perfectly happy deriding left wing nutcases as well - anyone who blindly follows any ideology unquestioningly deserves derision.

If you want to criticise my post, please at least read it first!!

if youre really trying to write a serious article why refer to them as "right wing nutcases"

Because they are right wing nutcases if they think anyone's going to have sympathy for Nazis and fascists. You're damn right I'm afraid of them - or more precisely, their ideas. We've seen what happens when a right-wing nutcase gets into power and I don't want to live through a repeat of World War 2!

in writing this article you fail to realise that most people in germany alive at the time of the nazis are actually dead, germany is now a new generation, its not the same misguided folk going astray once more. and when you consider this then take into account that since they weren't responsible for the nazi atrocities it is a form of victimisation. how long do we drag out the war guilt over the germans? majority of whom are not responsible at all for any of their nations past actions. so for the neo-nazis who are recruiting in germany massively in the young germans it is a form of victimisation and you can understand why they feel this way.

also, if youre really trying to write a serious article why refer to them as "right wing nutcases", this shows that you clearly are afraid of them since you cant name them civily whithout using names, your berating of them shows your fear of them. and remember that in Germany there are far more left wing 'nutcases' than neo-nazi 'nutcases', see all newsreports to see that it is always the left wingers who start throwing stonea and bricks at both the german police forces and the neo-nazis. so dont be so politically blind.

Partition was nobody's first choice, it was a compromise. For the benefit of Irish Republicans you can find the definition of compromise at dictionary.com.

People of both persuasions were caught on the "wrong" side of the border, but only northern Republicans tried to enforce their will on the majority there.

Mmmmn,.. bullying a minority into a country they want no part of, sounds a bit like Partition to me.

Belfast Firm Dumps Irish Waste in Belfast
A company has been fined £27,000 for illegally dumping waste in Belfast. The fine was handed down to Euroskip at Belfast Magistrates Court and is the biggest ever handed down by a Northern Ireland court for breach of a waste management licence.

Ardoyne Rioters Tried To Kill
The riots in Ardoyne last night were not just an orchestrated attempt to express intolerance at a display of Orange culture, nor an example of a community's complete inability to abide by normal standards of decency. The PSNI today said that republican...

It's really quite simple and your comments illustrate exactly why Unionists dislike the Irish state (not the Irish people!)

Orange marches happen in the republic, Peacefully not like in the north. Why is that do you think?

Because Sinn Fein aren't as well organised with their "concerned residents" groups? Because Protestants are too small in number to worry the Catholic state?

"We as irish people have always wished to decide the future of this country by ourselves, why dont you????"
We do - we don't want to be ruled from a foreign parliament in Dublin. We, the people of Ulster, want to decide our own future and right now that means we want to retain our citizenship in the United Kingdom.

To paraphrase your own quote:
"We as Northern Irish people have always wished to decide the future of this country by ourselves"

"We find this laughable in the rep. You want to be ruled by someone in another country that has no inerest in your country, for us that doesn't make sense."
This is a perfect illustration that you will NEVER understand the mindset of the Northern Irish citizen and why we can't afford to be dictated to by people with this midset. We don't want to be "ruled by" anyone. Do people in Galway complain about being "ruled by" Dublin? London is not another country, it's all part of the United Kingdom to which we are proud to belong. We elect more MPs per person/voter to Westminster than anywhere else in the UK!! By your logic, Alaska is being ruled by a foreign country!! Wise up.

"Northern parties are only 2% of the british parlement in a U I northern parties would represent 20% of Dail Eireann."
They'd be 100% of Stormont - sounds like an argument for an Independent Ulster...
Your argument is often used by nationalists and is still just as meaningless when you say it.

"Nobody else hates the irish, so why do the unionists"
We don't hate the Irish people, but the Irish state has for 85 years had an illegal claim on Ulster and her people. Why do the Irish hate British people?

Oh yeah, another thing we hate about Ireland is the whole "big-bad Unionist hates everything Irish" card.

In the 1960s the Northern Irish prime minister resisted calls from his own government to rename the state Ulster because he didn't want to give up the name Ireland to the Republic. Unfortunately this didn't prevent Sinn Fein and other Irish Republicans deciding that to be Irish you had to hate Britain - how do you expect British people in Northern Ireland to feel comfortable with that?

cant believe you said that, nobody here hates english or british people, i dont know where youve heard that!

Orange marches happen in the republic, Peacefully not like in the north. Why is that do you think?

The orange order leaders in dublin have recently been met by the president to gauarantee the orders rights. Its a free country!

Ireland will never rejoin the UK why are you suggesting this? . Since we ended the union (which was imposed by britain as a way to directly rule her colonies) things for us have never been better. ireland suffered as a result of this as her interests were not served, only those of the british parlement and aristocracy placed in positions of power by the british were served. Both communities suffered as a result of this.. Why would we give up our government our own country, how can you suggest this. I love being irish, i have travelled to many countries and i love the fact that my country is not involved in anything like IRAQ for example. Nobody else hates the irish, so why do the unionists???

Since we ended the union our trade with the uk and the rest of europe has never been better. The UK is our biggest trading partner! Both ireland and the uk have benifited from this except for NI

This is all history shurely you know all this stuff!

We as irish people have always wished to decide the future of this country by ourselves, why dont you???? this none of us can understand. We find this laughable in the rep. You want to be ruled by someone in another country that has no inerest in your country, for us that doesn't make sense.
3 out of 4 britons dont want the union with the north!

How can someone in britain know your home like you do. How do have more in common with the guy in london than the nationalist irish guy across the road from you.

Northern parties are only 2% of the british parlement in a U I northern parties would represent 20% of Dail Eireann. Northern politicians even paisley has the right to sit in Dail Eireann. And he would be welcome!

The question is have you ever visited the republic?

What does northern irish mean at least since 1921 ?
