Northern Ireland Question / Irish Reunification

[Deleted]

They have a "sight wall" in the middle of belfast between the two factions. By sight wall I mean a wall so they don't have to see each other...

I have some pictures from belfast of the taunts they paint on their buildings and homes with portraits of the "fallen". They really are some of the oddest things to see in a city I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of cities.

Man it's true. I'd recommend a trip to Belfast to anyone. It's a city in war, it's unique!
And then you have this huge abandoned buildings.
It's a fantastic city, in an eerie way.

Let northeners decide themselves by vote I'd say.

My only problem with this is North Ireland is still part of Ireland. The Irish as a whole should decide for themselves how they want to exist as a nation. Telling the people of the Republic that they don't have a voice in outcome of what their nation looks like is highly problematic.

Where's Adam Jensen asking why isn't there an option for them to become an US state?


As for me, I vote they go autonomous inside Ireland. I voted the other option by mistake, this is the vote I truly think is right.

The problem between catholics and protestants could benefit from my "solution for palestine":

-Build a very very large bar.
-Gather together all catholics and protestants of both sexes.
-Free drinks sprinkled with viagra or aphrodisiacs.
-No abortions nor contraconceptives!
-DNA tracking after a few days to find the genetic fathers of the coming children.

Now you'll have a lot of mixed families, and most of the problem solved!

It's also extraordinarily silly. Nationalism is a problem, not a solution.

Honestly, I would like both Northern Ireland -and- Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom.

I'm English, and I'm all for telling Northern Ireland to go fuck itself. For too long we've had to put up with this shit, with idiots on both sides causing trouble. Those bloody Orange idiots choosing to march through places that they know will cause trouble, and for what? A battle 300 years ago? Give me a fucking break. We don't march through Paris every year on June 18 because we stuffed Napoleon. I'd rather wash my hands of them, same with Scotland and Wales.

[MOEEEE]

Let them Vote.

A lot of rape cases more likely.
