So, are there any facts that we agree upon? - Was the British occupation of Ireland legitimate?
Can we even agree that it was an occupation? - Would Britain have granted home rule without the Easter rising?
- Is Ireland better off because of the Easter rising?
Yes, this discussion has been a bit combative, and we've had to clean up a number of off-topic posts; but I've learned a lot from it. It was my call to keep this thread in the music section since it began her and since so many songs have sprung from the Easter Rising. I know some people think it should be in the BS section, but I can't see how it's the end of the world either way. -Joe Offer-
