Be greedy op and make the most out of it.... | |||
"ill wait till 2021 and celebrate the end of the war of independence. 1916 was just one of many failed (and not very well supported) rebellions that took place in Ireland why didn't we celebrate all of those ? " Yep, we sure do love to celebrate failure. The rubberbandits "satire-u-mentary" pretty much summed it up. | |||
| |||
"Heading to dublin, wouldnt miss it, wont happen again in our lifetime and why regret not going later lol" sure is a monumentous occasion , biggest thing i reckon ireland has seen in a very long time | |||

"Celebrate what?? we should hang our heads in shame,the men that died then would turn in there graves if the could see the way, we have let this country go, we elect a shower of scum to govern the state they died to free from British rule, so we could stand ideally by while our so called political leaders as good as folded up the flag and gave it to Germany, for Fuck sake,it's not a celebration we need it's a shipment of rifles and start again, " It's funny you should say this , I only said something similar last week , if Michael Collins for instance seen the state of the Irish republic he would have been so shamed !! | |||

There are some who'd say those shipments are in progress. I'm not sure if I believe it though. | |||
"ill wait till 2021 and celebrate the end of the war of independence. 1916 was just one of many failed (and not very well supported) rebellions that took place in Ireland why didn't we celebrate all of those ? " But you forget laid that the failure and subsequent executions of the "rebels" was one of the reasons of the turn in support for the IRB and the Irish Republican army to wage the war of independence.

" In a democracy, people tend to end up with the government they deserve..." Ouch! But fair point. | |||

Minus the shipment of weapons anyone who's lost people to war/fighting wouldn't wish this on anyone.. | |||

" In a democracy, people tend to end up with the government they deserve... Ouch! But fair point." They sad bit is they'll be voted back in again.... | |||
"Is the queen still invited for that event? " NOOOOOO thank god !! That would be a right insult to our fallen hero's | |||

You know what _oghunter33 I agree with you , the sheep if Ireland will be zombiefied again an hypnotised into voting the dopes bk in , with their false promises like last time "  | |||

"May I ask a genuine question, out of curiosity? No doubt, this is an important anniversary for the South but what is the general view in the South, of the 100th anniversary of the Somme, given the thousands of Irish that died in it? Notably the 16th(Irish) Division, which lost almost 1/3 of its 10 and a half thousand men. I'm glad the Queen isn't taking part too, it would have been totally inappropriate" I really shouldn't comment on the "Irish" division that went off fighting a British war but I'm sure you can guess what I think of them. Back to the topic, I'm heading to relatives in Derry for a real commemoration that isn't hijacked by Southern political parties who probably couldn't name the men who signed the proclamation without some civil servant having researched it for them. | |||
"Is the queen still invited for that event? " No she isn't but some representatives of her family are attending as guests of Fine Gael.  | |||

A common misconception amongst truly stupid people........"so you think 1916 wasn't another failed rebellion ? or do you think it was a well supported rebellion ? as for the truely stupid people comment im sure that a lot of historians will disagree with you view | |||

That's what I thought would be popular opinion but have had a few meaningful discussions, by PM, to the contrary. So you view it as a British War, over a World War...do you not think Ireland benefited though, from the victories in both World Wars? | |||

"ill wait till 2021 and celebrate the end of the war of independence. 1916 was just one of many failed (and not very well supported) rebellions that took place in Ireland why didn't we celebrate all of those ? " 1921? so the partition of Ireland is something to celebrate? | |||

Benefited?? No"So, by default, you'd have been quite happy for the Nazis and Fascists, to have invaded Ireland(do you think they wouldn't have?) and be running it today? Really? | |||

No, why don't you tell us what you think of this "division" that went off to fight in a 'WORLD' war on behalf of the Irish people? | |||

"I hope all celebrating have a fantastic time, though spare a thought for the plight of the generations of Irish women who Mr De Valera viewed as second class citizens!!!" Dev was a fine Fello to talk same man was born to a maid in America and his father was Spanish he only accidently ended up here in Eire.

"So does Dev get celebrated or not? | |||

"I personally wouldn't celebrate him, others might "He was 2 when his mother sent him to live with his grandmother in limerick after his father died. Id hardly call that accidental,more like a mother unable to care for a young child and doing what was best for him. I find his life fascinating and I was at his funeral in 1975. The outpouring of grief was unbelievable on that day and I might have been 8 years old at the time but ill never forget it. | |||

So does Dev get celebrated or not?"If any of my family celebrated him my grandparents would turn in their graves. His name was a dirty word in their house. Tomcat | |||
