War on Terror-why arn't we winning ?

it was'nt an implication. it was merely a simply fact of truth! that honest thing that eludes you all the time, cos its such a alein thing to you.

 

btw i forgot ta mention cromewell sent another 300,0000
off my people to the west indies and sold them all there as slaves.your right outt don't bother cos their really is no negotiating with terrorists or any of their supporters.:2thumbsup:

 

What was the 'fact' of 'truth'?
To me, he was saying don't bother trying to talk to NoxiousGas. So said: Don't bother roamy, there's no negotiating with terrorists.
I'm sure he can weasel himself out of what he said - but it seemed fairly clear to me.
A little bad taste and not that funny, but there you go - it happens.

 

English is my second language out of the 3 i have and if i can understand the the word "terrorists"is a plural or more in the english language.so have a good look at that s at the end of the word and it will clearly show that he did not call noxious gas a terrorist,cos if was doing that he would have said terrorist ! not terrorists!an outt is no weasel,but your a real snake.an the only bad taste in your mouth is the taste of the truth.but there ya go....it happens!

 

I'm sure he was referring to more than one person in this thread. Perhaps me, too. Perhaps anybody that disagreed with you. Who knows. I could be wrong, but that's what it seemed to be saying to me. If he wants, I'll let him explain his comment. If you have read this thread - he sometimes does get a little confused.

 

that is so insulting to outt.outt dose'nt say things ta just agree with people.he speaks his own mind on his own opinions.you could'nt be getting him so wrong.no what your real problem is that all the people who spoke the truth did just that.spoke the truth.it really is that simple.

 

I think you might be avoiding the point.

 

roamy.......


never mind, not worth the keystrokes to respond to you, but seriously dude, Cromwell??? fucking get over it already.

 

:bomb:

Well you forgot George Carew, during Elizabethian times and the rebellion of The Desmonds. and The Plantations, and King Billy who defeated King James at Droughda. We could speak of the Viking raiders that Brein Borou finally drove out. We could speak of Strongbow and the traitor MacMorrugh during the Norman conquest of Erie.

My Grandfather was from Kericiveen in Kerry and fought in the Easter rebellion but split for America after Michael Collins was shot. He came-over like Leonardo De'Caprio in The Movie "Tiatanic" in the belly of a huge ship.

The key is not to hold on to these grivances. The NY Times always sounds silly giving Islamists credence on "The Crusades" and Irish sound equally silly airing their own. There are thousands of Irish immigrants in New York, legal or otherwise, making money and living life. If it is so oppressive please come to New York where you have the advantage of speaking English over the other immigrants who are here.

My Granny was from Turlough-Castlebar, Mayo and came here when she was 16 years old. twasn't the black & tans who drove her out it was primogeniture, How many siblings can a hardscrabble farm in Connought support?

The Orangemen can be useful though. When Acedemics over here are wringing their hands about The English murdering the Amerinds ( Indians) it can be pointed out that they murdered The Irish as well! And just as I'm not going back to Ireland, The Ulstermen shouldn't have to go back to Scotland.

i'd never forget brian boru seeing as i am a direct blood decendent of him.the greatest and bravest high king of Ireland.brians daughter sadbh married one of my own clan,a IOth centuary Irish prince by the name of Mathghamban.so basically you are speaking to Irish Royality.i have already been to america to personally thank all my fellow fenians there for everything.all the ones whos ancestors did'nt go their by choice,who were sent there in coffin ships cos the brits thought twas cheaper ta pay there passage out ta get rid of them off their own land in there own country.the 600 out a the fourteen hundred who did'nt die of starvation or disease on the way.and if the brits in nothern Ireland all want to continue to live under their own brittish rule theres no shortage a boats here they can go back on to live under their own flag.no one in Ireland is forcing them ta live under ours and won't be in the future.Ireland is Ireland all 32counties of it.call genocide silly if you will.we call it what it was.murder!and selling people as slaves kidnapping!the war that started by the hands of the british in my country will not end by loyalists or the british empire doing the right thing.they have both shown ta prove that since the good friday agreement.those people don't want peace,all they want is more blood.we will have a united Ireland one day.thats when the war started by them blood thirsty bastards a thousand yrs ago will be over.ya orangemen an women are good for something.target practice.

 

Orangemen? I guess protestants are good for something after all :biggrin:

 

If you wana have a discussion about political or military history why not create a Thread & do that (not rhetorical question)? We're in 21 Century now trying to discuss modern terrorism,a difficult enough subject in itself. This threads going nowhere if this history stuff continues.

 

show the bastards what "WE" are capable of, and what power they are dealing with, if we wanted to, and if not for the UN we could wipe them clean off the planet...NY will never look the same, and the lack of the twin towers really takes something away from the manhattan skyline that it had before, and I prefer before.

 

The point is that it's a "what" (terror) v. a "who" (terrorists). For the folks that profit well from these schemes, a war on "who" would end quickly; the war on "what" goes on forever.

 

James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, Charles Stuart Parnell, Protestants all!


:daisy:

 

this "war" has been going on for over a decade!

 

Actually, dealing with 'why' acts of terror are committed would likely be more productive in reducing them.

 

and your point is ?

 

Yes, this thread is all about the 'why'-or should be.
