Ireland – a Polish home from home

The same way you had Bill Clinton at power. Did the fact that dems were at power make a dem of you?

No but what he and his saw fit to put out as news helped shape the world view here in the US.

I never said you were a communist. But what we learn as children for good or ill colors our world view forever unless we replace it with something else. Unless your parents taught you differently about the history you learned in school how could you even begin to separate the fact from the fiction?

Maybe I am wrong. Maybe your parents taught you Irish history in detail. Did they?

I can't think of two more funloving and compatible groups than the Irish and the Poles.

It's what made Chicago great!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Why haven't you answered the question?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I can believe it if you say it.

So the kind of things that you were saying earlier were taught to you in school?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

You haven't responded to any of my posts since, either!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I'm still waiting for an explanation, no, sorry an apology for calling me a liar!!

And you can consider yourself taken off my Ireland Ping list!!!

I will not have IRA supporters on my ping list!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Just to make it perfectly clear...

but I can also imagine their desperation of being under the brutal boots of the invaders.

This is what you were taught about what is happening in NI?

You were taught that the people living there who voted to stay in the UK and should they ever want out all they have to do is vote and leave are under the boot of brutal oppressors?

You were taught that the people who have been living there for 900 years aren't native?

What then is native? And who are the brutal oppressors? Those who allow you to leave with a simple vote or those who state that they will kill you unless you join them?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

As to Bloody Sunday, I don't think it was a provocation by IRA.

It was, the IRA were using the protesters as human shields.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

OK Just imagine America under the boots of Fidel Castro's army!

That is like defending some lout who ran up to a guy eating a burger and beat him to death and then by saying "Just imagine he was eating your sister!"

The cases are not even remotely similar.

The point is that NI is not under the boot of a brutal oppressor. They are enjoying the right of living under their own freely elected government. Well they would enjoy it if the "Join us or die" bunch would leave them alone.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, plus the likes of Hezbollah do the same thing.

Anyway, it's late over here - so goodnight!

[Happygal]

I've no doubt! :)

We could also send you vox_PL, but that would be too cruel.

[Grzegorz 246]

Forget Kelly Family, only Mandaryna and Doda 24/7.

[Grzegorz 246]

I hope so.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yeah... politics is complicated here as it is! :P
