"You lie. You can not put up any such statement from me."
You have described the events that are being celebrated at the present time in Ireland as a "contemptible joke" and have described those who support these events as being "based on propaganda not fact."
Did you not write this?
That pretty well sums up what is happening in Ireland at the present time.
You have described the events as "the cold blooded murders of Dubliners by the rebels"
Did you not write this?
In the past, you have described Irish children as having been "brainwashed into hating Britain".
Did you not write this?
Whoever wrote them, these are racist slurs on the Irish people.
I have carefully avoided making this personal - I have responded to what you wrote each time.
your arguments have all been knocked down "
"I win" again
You have answered nothing, you have merely repeated the same jingoistic misinformation.
"We are not discussing the famine here,"
We are not discussing Daniel O'Connell either, but some people
The Famine had an enormous relevance to what happened in 1916, as has W.W.1., the Curragh Mutiny, The Land Wars.... and all other related subjects which you have been happy to participate in
regard it as part of this discussion.
Please stop attempting to suppress what people believe is relevant because it doesn't fit your particular agenda - you have been asked not to on previous threads and have denied doing so - now you're at it again.
