    Well, I'll tell the truth: I support anybody who has or will stand up for their rights! '' By any means necessary'' The injustices that Catholics suffered up North were appalling, no person deserves to be treated like a second class citizen especially in their own home.

    Bobby was, and still is a brave young man who believed in something and was willing to die for it, and that cannot be said for a lot of people. People might not like his take on the situation at hand, but sometimes you really have to stand for rights because if you don't, things will continue as they always have.

    and ppl allowing their Lisbon vote to be reversed is proof of it. Most ppl in this country have too much respect for authority.

    Bobby Sands deserves his legend. He and the other nine hunger-strikers who bravely sacrificed their lives in a terrible way will never be forgotten and history will remember them.

    My innitial rection to this thread was 'f' him the IRA murdering, bombing scum that killed and blew up towns and people I knew.....
    How ever looking back in history he was a hero...and that was obviousbly supported by the community enough to vote him in. His belief was true passion that I doubt that any of us actually have.....what would you die a long, painful death for?

    I always imagine how much greater Ireland would be in the world had we all got along. If we had used our skills for building business instead of fighting and terrisiom. But maybe that is what made us what we are?

    I think you could do with listening to the words of Joe McDonnell, if you did you’d soon know the true meaning of “terrorists.”
