# Anyway, we've been living with IRA terrorists for years.
Funded by Americans to a large extent.

# we would love to
But I think it's got to a point that the Irish, aren't desperate to have the likes of Ian Paisley in their country either

# I don't think that's true really.
Most Irish Catholics and Protestants would be happy with any democratic rule. It's only the *tiny* minority who see either (a) the British as an occupying army in N.I. or (b) the people in N.I. as part of Britain (in the same way the Scotts are).

To blindly talk about Ireland (as a whole) being 'their' country is to completely fail to understand any of the historical issues around it. Southern Ireland (Eire) is Irish. Everybody accepts that and not even the most staunch of Loyalists would think of trying to take over the entire area.

N.I. on the other hand has been under British control for many years and a large number of the people there consider themselves British. British by birth. They consider that their parents and grandparents were British. A small minority of these people take violent issue with claims that N.I. belongs to the Irish (in the same way the a small number of the N.I. Catholics take issue with the notion that it belongs to Britain).

It's a really fucked up situation, but one thing it ain't is clear or obvious.

# And go where? Back to England?! Not bloody likely....
As much as Europeans would like to absorb the culture that has become a world power in less than 300 years, I don't think America will be going anywhere... Thanks for the offer.

# Sean Hughes
during a particularly fine live set, went on about how americans were always coming up to him and slipping him 20 dollars and saying it was for the "boys back home"...only when Sean talked about it he made it funny. As opposed to boring, like what this is.

Can I go home now please?
