Quote-Unquote posted:What is the deal with the IRA not being bad guys in American media? 5000 Irish trouble deaths over 30 years, compared to 3000 in one day. And half of those from the Troubles were from the other side fighting the IRA. Some irish comedian had a joke saying that 9/11 had an upside, Irish people were no longer strip searched every time now. And some sections of the US have this romantic idea that the IRA is fighting for 'freedom' ala Braveheart freedom. So they still have fund raisers with fiddly dee irish music, dancing and shtty tasting Guinness, and the money raised gets sent over to drug dealers and extortionists.

Not on the dealer level, but people looking for weed go to the whoever has the poo poo for sale. So you get catholics hooking up with UVF drug dealers and vice versa. Building bridges, one toke at a time.

Yeah, they added a tank to that in the movie didn't they. I was saying about the one in 1921, pics are here: https://ansionnachfionn.com/2015/09/16/a-british-tank-on-an-irish-street/ Edit: Maybe I did misread the original guys post on it, he did say 1920s.

That's interesting actually I hadn't seen any pics like that, I guess because it was after the 1916 rising nobody cares to include them in all the galleries going around atm Also lol at how cartoonishly evil the Brits were, shooting into a peaceful protest and then using the deaths caused as an excuse to do a wave of searchs (ie ram with tanks) a bunch of people's homes and businesses.

You're recalling from a movie called Michael Collins which dramatised a bunch of bs, nobody drove a tank/LAV/whatever into Croker to shoot people they shot the people with good old fashioned regular guns and just used the armoured machine gun car to try stop people escaping, apparently Which is grand really when you think about it, considering it still wasn't enough to stop us putting chocolate in potatoes

Even if the stands were sparsely populated, using a 50 cal in that environment would usually create a total slaughter house.

The State Aid ruling literally turned the entire Irish establishment Eurosceptic overnight.Worldshatter posted:Irish is a language so terrifyingly awful even the Irish don't speak it The way Irish is taught is appallingly bad, or it was when I went through primary and secondary-level education. In primary education you went through about 5 years of just reading our passages, then they last 3 years maybe learning basic grammar, and learning of prepositional pronouns without knowing their true meaning or how to use them properly. Then second-level Irish education just throws you into a 5-6 year literature course, in the exact same format of the English course, just with some Oral exams attached. It's not taught like other languages at all. The only people who get through all of this without a passionate hatred of the language are native speakers, those who started out in an Irish-language primary school (a good proportion of these people have their heads up their asses as they're way more fluent compared to their second-level peers), or those who want to teach in primary level (Irish is required).
