Thread Name: Lyr Req: Back Home in Derry (Bobby Sands)
Subject: RE: BACK HOME IN DERRY
First off, my friend, the answer is to be open to other opinions. When that doesn't happen, you have intolerance, such as you see every 12th of July. Second off, if weren't for the "interference" of others that hadn't lived there assisting the oppressed, the American Civil Rights movement would never have been spawned. The same is true in the north of IRELAND. It is usually the oppressors or the people who benefit from discrimination that want the "foreigners" to leave. Finally, you should have read the whole thread before commenting. Uninformed opinion is usually about hearing oneself speak. You would have seen, had you read it, that most of the people who have expressed an opinion, want to honor the wishes of the people of the North of Ireland. Give it a read again, and then let's have a discussion about your land and the land of my grandparents and my family.
