I am friends with a number of Republicans. We fought on different sides of the conflict. I also worked very closely with SF, and former IRA and Loyalists terrorists in the past to bring about peace. I was respected by both sides of the community because I showed respect for their views and always told them the truth. This is what kept me alive.
RESPECT is the key to building something lasting in Ireland for our kids. Before, someone points out the DUP's actions, I have nothing to do with the DUP. The point I was trying to make wth joggon, was change begins with ME! We are not responsible for anyone's actions, but our own. We can line live in the past and stay a victim, or we can get on with forging a better tomorrow for our kids. People like Joggon live in the past and are sill offended by something that happened to their great-great granny in 1921. In Ireland if a Republican brings up something from the past they and only seeking justice because he was a victim, but if a Unionist raises the past he is a bigot. Ireland is full of victims on both sides! Both sides did terrible things to each other! Both sides did terrible wrongs!
I take it that Mr Joggon comes from Southern Ireland. It kind of pisses me off that while were were killing each other in the North, he was sitting safe and sound in the South typing on his keyboard and being offended. Any normal person who lived in the North through the hight of The Troubles should never want to go back to that: Father's gunned down in front of their kids, car bombs like Omagh, tit-for-tat shootings and punishment shootings. I worked in Omagh after the bomb and I will take what I saw to the grave. I was was personally nearly blew up thee times, the first time I was still in my mothers womb.
I think there should be a political discussion section separate from general chat, that way our little friend could knock himself out, maybe even start his own blog.
You would think a bunch of horny perverts would want to talk about escort, girls and punting instead of a load of political tripe.
