Well we may have free education, health but we still have idiots

  Large Bomb defused in Armagh, Rep.Of Ireland

The 600lb device was found on a roadside near the village of Forkhill and had a command wire leading to a firing point on the other side of the border.

Dissident republicans are believed to be responsible for planting the bomb.

Irish soldiers and Gardai mounted a security operation on the southern side of the border while the device was being made safe today.

The remnants have now been taken away for forensic examination.
 
Fucking stupid murderous cunts!!

That wide gap in the beginning of your post represents the amount of space that you should talk about politics on Giant Bomb. That was filled up a long time ago. Anyway, I have no idea what you're talking about and a link would be extremely helpful.

We in the rest of the world truly do not get the hatred and violence between the Catholics and the Protestants in Ireland and quite probably, they don't also. 
 
They need to focus on enjoying life and drop ancient hatred.

At least it didnt hurt anyone 
 
but these thing always happen 

It comes from the Catholics land being stolen and them being treated as second class citizens for centuries.
 But when things are improving so much its so stupid.

You're telling me you have no idea what the IRA, RIRA, CIRA are and the bombings related to them? I lived in effin Beirut most of my life and I know all about that civil war. What education do you guys get these days? "

you know, I never really seen it as cicil war, but I suppose you could say it was.......  "

Attacking British soldiers and loyalist paramilitaries, up unto the early 90's was perfectly acceptable and right. Except to finance this war the IRA got heavily involved in criminality.
It was never right to bomb towns and kill civilians. and now when the British government is no longer ignoring the apartheid that occurred and with the signing of the Good Friday agreement this kind of thing is crazy.

Its not ancient and you would understand it if you looked at the history of the region "

This predates the Civil War and War for Independence.  We are talking about conflict in the 1600s.  Everything from there is a circle of hate and violence - that being my limited understanding. "

Christ, it's still going on over there!? It even stopped here in Quebec eventually (1960-1970), why is it that this is still going on?

 I am thankful that I was born in 89 to a different generation, after the real "troubles", the worst I had to endure was the Omagh bombings. The sooner the generations behind us die off, taking there hatred and apartheid ways with them, the better.

As long as governments are wielders of productive capacity, and arbiters of wealth, there will be people hungry for the power afforded to them by terror.
 
It is a good thing that the police have dismantled the bomb and prevented lives from being lost, but if governments want to deflate the power of terrorism, they need to deflate their own power in kind.

Glad it didn't hurt anyone.

  @Snipzor: I like Liam Neeson's work, but I don't know that I've seen anything featuring Cillian Murphy.
 
I'll add it to my (growing) list of movies to see ;)
 
Ugh, don't feel so bad about misspelling "now", I omitted the definitive article in my last response :P
 
Back on topic... Let's put an end to the notion that violence and theft are solutions to problems!

" @oldschool: And those cultural movements which have been vindicated by history, usually use violence in response to a past aggression (Such as being enslaved by the British Crown). But violence is the cause of these problems, and mediation and negotiation are the only just and lasting solutions to these problems. "

Two responses from two people who agree that peace is preferable to war.
 
What needs to happen in the conflict zones of the world is to recognize the rights of the people to live their lives as they see fit. While it is abhorrent to bomb a country into liberty (as was tried in Iraq) it is equally abhorrent to have men and women risk their lives to support a theocracy (as is the case in Afghanistan).
 
Those who wish to make a positive change must produce it, not take it!

 During this time Catholics were denied political representation due to gerrymandering(constituency boundaries were drawn so that they favoured the unionists), when peaceful protest was attempted British paratroopers shot 27 civilians killing 13 of them. There was also collusion between the government and unionust paramilitaries resulting in many murders including the murder or human rights lawyer Pat Finucane.  Negotiation was denied to republicans for a very long time and violence was neccesary to force a change in the way Britain dealt with the situation.

Well yes but what if by recognizing the rights of one group of people, you suppress the other groups right? Northern Ireland cannot be rejoin Ireland and still be controlled by England. "

yeah It's more about the current IRA using the name of the old IRA circa 1920s which fought in the irish civil war. but yeah they just use the name now and are pretty much terrorists. "

We should not study the bomb,we should be worshiping it, bow down to the bomb!
