Belfast is as British as Wales. End of story.

Ironic statement from a country that never successfully seized territory.

@RazorMouth Are you actively encouraging terrorism? And no, few if any Irish Brits want to leave England. In fact, even during Irish independence many Irish all over the country voted against it.
2
@KinchasaurasRex is that a weird joke or do you need shock therapy?
2
@seankavanagh7625 That’s both racist and silly. And no, I'm a historian from a different continent. The fact of the matter is Irish unity is almost as dead as "the south will rise again" nonsense.
2
@justmythought7658 Being from the area just means you have incentive to lie.
2
@shaneryan9040 Except some Irish are Brits

@seankavanagh7625 As if people on this thread aren't goading Ireland to invade Belfast........

@danielleswanson4443 you're a liar too
1
@mijicmugendo except they want the status quo.

@indogoUI It didn't use to be. In fact, many of the villains from fairy tales are thought to have been caricatures of Welsh pagans.
1
@seankavanagh7625 vhut? Wales use to be several independent states.
1
@seankavanagh7625 In Wales in the Bitish Isles? You ain't making sense.
1
@seankavanagh7625 that's silly. It was called the British Isles because it was all shared a same king for centuries. And when I say share a king, I mean the royal lines of Scotland and England were merged together and Wales and Ireland were annexed and residents made citizens. Hanover was left out of thus move because that was a union that neither side wanted but the heir to the English throne happened to be a German prince, which is why the two separated with the ascension of Queen Victoria in London as Hanoverian law only allowed men to rule.

@roryoneill9444 Except they ain't, and I wouldn't care about lines on a map anyway.
1
@mtw9471 irrelevant, and not statistically significant either.
1
@bernardpearce3478 And the Falklands is in South America. It's irrelevant.
1
@mtw9471 false. The title Prince of Wales is an empty title put on the crown prince of England. The reason is during certain wars in Wales the king dissolved that office by ousting the prince and giving the title to his infant son. That title became doubly irrelevant when England democratized in the 19th century, and the monarchy only plays a ceremonial role.
1
@roryoneill9444 NI voted to stay repeatedly, why the frick would Scotland leave when oustsiders cannot even distinguish between Scot and English? In fact, the last time Scotland was at war with England was before America was a coutry, so Scotish independence is even more silly than "the south will rise again." (And yes, I remember a time when people still said that nonsense).

@bernardpearce3478 You clearly don't know the first thing about the Falklands or colonies. Even a 45 minute history documentary would have told you better than that junk. And just to hammer home how the geography isn't how you think it is, the Orkneys are actually Norwegian isles, as they were under Danish kings far more often than they were under Scotish kings (this was because the Danes were sea based kingdoms while the Scots were land based). Norway and Sweden speak two dialects of the same language and have a huge land border but are separated for the time being. The Phillipines have never been a unified state until it became a Spanish colony. Guam is so American that it attracts Japanese tourists who don't want to go the whole way to California. And the island of Ireland has simply never been a unified independent state at any point in history whatsoever. But you're using a small channel in the ocean as an absolute basis for a line on some map?
1
@mtw9471 ok, now you're flatly delusional. The Prime Minister is charge and you know this
1
@mtw9471 you're curiously selective on whom you accuse of such things, especially when some of the guys here aren't just mistaken, they are actually lying
1
They are at peace but like to pretend otherwise
1
It doesn't.
1
Europe isn't a country at this time.
1
@seanohare5488 no one cares
1
@KinchasaurasRex I think we should up the voltage
1
@KinchasaurasRex Why would I read your comments when you're not even screaming for your life yet?
1
Please leave Ireland to those of us that know basic facts about Ireland.
1
Dubjax you say that as if you are unaware when the last time Ireland was a unified independent state.
1
@justmythought7658 no, it means you've read a ton of material.
1
@fritsgerms3565 Res judicata. Just because you didn't like the decision doesn't mean you can fantasize about changing it
1
@believeroflight9888 The EU isn't a country if that what you mean.
1
@fritsgerms3565 it means already decided. That's all there is to it
1
Are you advocating razing Belfast to the ground?
1
 @politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 They don't care. These pendejos are using colony as a pejorative.
1
It's all bull. The conflict only exists in our heads
1
We all do. Including you.
1
@ares106 Nah, it's just the people who say that turn out to be liars every time.
1
You

Ireland was British before they were Irish. As in the islands were dozens of states before the Normans came and Belfast never got on board the independence movement.
1
@Jack-e5t Not familiar with British history? The Normans, as in the Norman dynasty of England. At the time in question, the English language was only just forming.
