#126 I can’t say anything Vic as all has been said before. As don’t know what the argument is.. as have done the same with former names and all I see is James Curry is on your ignore list. Gives less chance of disharmony on the site. Which have thought for years that was his sole intention. Cheers JS.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
The IRA situation was quite simple.
UK only has the North, those gutless wonders the IRA wanted a united Ireland, no doubt with them in control, but the people of the South DO NOT!!!!!
They were just terrorists and like so many others want to create havoc in the vain hope they may win.

"The saying one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter."
Terrorist apologists have always quoted this stupid line when apologising for terrorist actions.
Finally - do tell me James - what freedom exactly was Osama bin Laden and Al Quaeda fighting for when killing almost
3,000 innocent people in the Twin Towers attack on the 11th September 2001?
PS - I too am tired to continue this futile debate, but there are some things that need to be addressed, and apologising
for terrorists (also comparing terrorists to people who fought and died for the good of mankind - like Nelson Mandela)
is one such irritation I take very seriously, especially having been caught up directly in such acts..... and listening to stupid
arguments from a certain candidate pontificating on here did incense me.
However, I too will take my leave from this exchange and sincerely wish everybody a quiet and peaceful life henceforth.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
Dough, good on ya mate, says it all.
But what most do not know is that there are two IRA.
In the north the Irish Republican Army, a terrorist group with one aim, control of all Ireland under their rule.
In the south Irish Republic Army, there to protect the people.
In 1923 when the Irish republic came into being my father in law was a member of that army.
Having served his 5 year he then took up with the Garda, Irish police until he retired in 1967.
