Why am I wasting my time with you tonight? Because I'd hate it if Pops and Svenska and Lou and RG and others from outside the U.S. began to think that you're the voice of America. There are more of us than there are of you.

Next time your up that way stop by Dungannon and take a taxi to Coal Island....McGirrs Pub is the only place to stay and the Murphy twins man the bar. They aren't a trusting lot, but if you buy a few rounds, they may talk to you. And yes it is an IRA town, but no they arent bad people. Most of their fight was over when Bobby Sands died or do you remember him. Judging with todays eyes is a misrepresentaion and a diservice to history. They have put their arms down in hopes of peace. Tank or light armoured vehicle seems the same to a boy with a rock. Thankfully they have stopped driving them around and have pulled most troops back home to England.
At any rate if you wander up the hill by the old church there is a graveyard. Coal Isand is small enough and there are only two churches. Here are the graves. Do not dishonor the dead, in that town they have meaning to you they will not. As much as I love that town it has its share of trouble, I prefer Gallway and the Aran Islands because they are free there.

Blarneystone,
Ok, first things first, Coalisland is all one word, not Coal Island. I think you were referring to this incident: 27 November 1973 Desmond Morgan (18) Catholic. Status: Irish Republican Army (IRA), Killed by: British Army (BA). Shot during attempted hijacking of vehicle, Coalisland, County Tyrone. If you care, this is a list of everyone killed during 1973: An Index of Deaths from the Conflict in Ireland (1973). As Pops said, you were fed a load of bull. Produce your own facts, nothing you have said stands up.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, right?
Oh no, of course the IRA weren't terrorists. They didn't bomb the mainly civilian targets in Omagh , or Warrington or Hyde Park or Canary Warf (and many other parts of London) or Guildford or Birmingham or Manchester or Brighton or Aldershot or countless numbers in Belfast and all over Northern Ireland, including the massacre at Enniskillen on Remembrance Day.
They were fighting a just war, were they? Against the evil British who wanted no more than to protect her own people and even those who wanted to break away from her?
You might find this an interesting piece: The Brighton Bomb: No Impact? Margaret Thatcher was, and probably still is, the political figure most hated by the IRA. She's also the most right-wing PM we've ever had and was Ronald Reagan's political soulmate. What do you think about her? Do you wish the Brighton Bomb had succeeded in assassinating her?
Do you know one thing that makes my blood boil? We, the British, have lived under the threat of terrorism for years and it isn't until the USA gets attacked that the USA realises there is a problem of international terrorism. Where did the IRA get most of their funding from?
You come across as hero worshipping the IRA. That makes me sad.
I hate to say all of that, really I do, especially on today, of all days (The day after the 60th Anniversary of D-Day, btw), a day when we, the Allies of WWII, should feel more united than ever. But, it is people like you who do nothing but damage to the name of your good country. I'm just glad I know different. But, realise this, most people don't. Most people do, in fact, see people like you as the voice of the USA - probably because you shout the loudest and are incredibly arrogant in your refusal to show any ounce of compassion for anyone who is not a citizen of the good old US of A.
Then again, you don't really care, do you?
Lou
P.S. Pops, it's bleedin' marvellous to see you! What was that about twats?![]()

shereads said:I've said it before, but I must ask one more time: Can't some of you other countries persuade a few of your extremist lunatics to post at Lit? Surely you have some. It's not fair that only Americans have to defend ourselves from being branded as one vast land of Amicublarney, or Blarnicus.
Please, Canada and Sweden and Britain and Germany and New Zealand and Portugal and New Guinea and Mexico and Austria and Switzerland (well, okay, not Switzerland): don't you have some deranged skinheads you want to share with us?
Shock Chick said:'Ello love, you wanted someone deranged from Britain. Look no further.
I think we have a knack of keeping our "odd" ones in check, and there's fewer of us.
Shocky - deranged skinhead wannabe.
P.S. I might get controversial, if I decide to stick around long enough.

You crazy Brits! You're a sick, twisted bunch and soon I'll have evidence, courtesy of Shock Chick.

It can't be that hard, can it?

Pops, this has absolutely nothing to do at all with IRA or anything else being discussed here, but I have to correct you on one not-so-little thing.pop_54 said:For one simple fact... no British soldier in Northern Ireland has or had access to 80 rounds... One clip of 12 in the gun... and one spare clip on the belt, was about the limit I believe... any more had to be signed for and drawn from the quartermaster... Another fact is that only 'rubber' bullets were ever used against stone throwers... horrid things mind you baton rounds... caused a lot of nasty injuries, but not often death... Yet another fact, any British soldier behaving like that would now be serving life in prison... we are about the only country that lock up soldiers for excessive force, one has just recently been released after a long sentence for firing his gun at a car that was trying to run him down in Northern Ireland... it appears he should have tried to jump out of the way instead of opening fire on the vehicle...
Pure said:Next you'll be telling us that dedicated persons waging the 'war on drugs' are involved in selling them.
How do you live with that degree of nihilism? Have you talked to Jesus lately?
Lauren Hynde said:Pops, this has absolutely nothing to do at all with IRA or anything else being discussed here, but I have to correct you on one not-so-little thing.
On January 30, 1972, soldiers from the British Army's 1st Parachute Regiment opened fire on unarmed and peaceful civilian demonstrators in the Bogside, Derry, Ireland, near the Rossville flats, killing 13 and wounding a number of others. They were promped by a relatively small number of stone-throwers that had detached itself from the civilian demonstration. Several soldiers have admitted to have fired real ammo (obviously), and 2 or 3 times the number of rounds they had officially been given. None of the soldiers involved were ever admonished in any way. In fact, they were decorated by the Queen for their acts on the day.
Just correcting Pops usage of the word 'never'. Like I said, not trying to make any point about any of the issues at hand.Shock Chick said:This one anomally is brought up every single time the troubles in Northern Ireland are discussed.
