Do you know what I love going to Dublin having a beer or two with people you meet, I don't give a stuff about all that political crap and neither do all the southern Irish people I have met, its all just stirred up by a minority up north and my guess is that the politics have long been forgotten and its all about cash.
Listening to news about political developments in Northern Ireland leads you to believe that no one knows whats going on, My god they take five years to decide what side of the bed to get out of.
Here is how stupid it is
The Loyalists bang their drums and march to wind up the republicans spouting on about William of Orange who was Dutch not even English, Ok let them march and Bang their drums but not through a catholic area it's like having a KKK march through Brixton.
Then their is the Republicans, everyone knows that sooner or later Ireland will be one, so what do the Republicans do for years, you got it, shoot people and bomb people just the sort of thing that does not get the British governemt or the Loyalists to move an inch.
Most Irish folk just want to get a decent life if the hotheads on both sides had sat down 25 years ago all this would have been solved and thousands of people would have lived.

people in the north of Ireland know they aren't the only people on the planet, hence that's why more people in the north give to more charities per household than the rest of Ireland and Europe. just because we've had a shitty time with what ever perspective you look at doesn't mean we forget the shitty things that are happening elsewhere in the world. Belfast mightn't be worth pissing in, but as far as i care its the best city in the world.

Well, I'm going to guess that they don't think that they are the only people on the planet.
Maybe, if what you're implying is true, they just think that they are the most important people on the planet.
I've always wanted to visit Ireland.

No, but when you are in the middle of a conflict literally going back centuries, you spend a lot less time worrying about the rest of the world; you've got your own Troubles.
Without taking sides, let me say that the Irish and the Brits have been going at each others throats almost as long as there have BEEN Irish and Brits, making it not only the best known insurrection, but also the longest by far!!!
Must be genetic...

You gotta love americans trying to understand trouble in Ireland. Boils my blood to see people dismiss the whole thing as stupid.

why did you not give a reason for your question ? obviously something bugs you but you dont seem to have the balls to say what it is.
we know we are not the only people on the planet, but we could show some how to lighten up and have a fuc*ing good time without being up our own arses.

I reckon they probably have an idea there's a whole world out there. But what about Irish Stew? Damn that stuff is awesome!
