Ireland is a culturally and religiously homogenous country.Well that's kind of what I was saying. Maybe the Google translate doesn't work that well with Serbian.
Ireland was not a homogenous country, culturally or religiously. Hence Belfast.
Correct.
I always ask "Irish or Northern Irish?"
So Northern Ireland isn't a member state of the United Kingdom? It answers to Dublin and Brussels, not the 10 Downing return address on their substantial welfare checks?
That's sounds cool.
Say Norn Iron, then be like every New Yorker who absorbs whatever bastardized English x Old Country slang makes its way into their working English, and insist, to people born and raised from other countries, what their ear hears the third generation saying in New York is the correct usage.
My point was that the reason that Ireland and Northern Ireland are not one country is precisely because they're not homogenous religiously and culturally.
No idea, I pretty much quit following politics.
I mean if this anti-war sentiment is so common amongst the American Right, there must a public figure, if not a politician, who represents this movement?
That depends. Do you admit you were wrong that religious and ethno-cultural independence is always peaceful, or do you fall to your knees. proclaim Sharkbiscuit the Galactic Emperor, and submit because the Celtic Catholics had to fight a WAR to become independent from the Norman-Saxon Protestants?
The northern Irish are lowland scots sent by Cromwell to settle Ireland(steal the land).
I'm guessing Ron Paul, if anyone, but haven't paid attention to anything he's said in years.
I dare say that if Protestants and Catholics aren't religiously homogeneous, the US is soon fucked.
Nobody has because he isn't in office.
Mike Gravel. Just like Ron Paul, very adept at losing Presidential primaries, and no longer in office.
yet most people want us to stay out of fighting in Ukraine and that's what we're doing. Which is great, but also very weak!
It became a country as a result of the Irish WAR of Independence. A WAR.
Kind of a big deal about it when Kennedy ran in the 60s. That's living memory. But yes the Unionist Protestants and Republican Catholics take it way, way, way further.
