In Catholic schools? Then you can make the argument the catholic church has too much power around the world

no

in public schools

state school*

Wrong

no, you're wrong

this was told to me by an Irish teacher from the Republic

you live in Northern Ireland, not the Republic

I go between the border every month for a period of time

I know what schools are like

I know many people from Irish schools

There are state catholic schools, sure

But you are saying all public state schools

Yeah, and they don't necessarily know all of the mechanics of how things are decided

I'm several generations removed, Mac Threinfir. So, I know almost nothing about the homeland. I know the IRA and DUP have killed civvies.

Yes, It always angers me when someone from outside the country comments on "how things are"

Unionists and republicans who support that nonsense have blood on their hands.

It angers me when someone from a country disregards anyone saying anything about their country because "You don't know anything"

if that's what you're going to do to a discussion, don't take part

Its not exactly that

He's right to correct people

Yes, I tell you that because you say blatant things that are wrong

correcting is one thing, being a condescending douchebag is another

There we go

Of course I'm a douchebag

and also, sorry, Ireland is not your country

Ireland is my country

the UK is your country

Ireland is united in spirit

I am from the Island of Ireland

unless you're a Republican, Ireland is not your country

Never tell an ulsterman he isnt irish

My family is from the Emerald Isle

then they should fight to be part of a Republic

Just because a government that I don't want here oversees me, doesn't mean I'm not Irish

rather than those who colonized them

Theres plenty of economic reasons not to achieve that

I am a Republican, I don't support however the IRA, or hooligans who just burn flags

I may be a republican in meme but I'm a realist regarding the consequences of unification

And believe it or not, there are people from both sides who do that

fair enough
