Interesting. I am against intentional civilian massacres as well, but I have seen firsthand in America what a lack of action can lead to: a tyrannical rich minority that buys the loyalty of stupid people. While I don't necessarily think there should be a bloody uprising, a few political assassinations might be just what this country needs.

I too was raised Catholic (well, I was given a choice between that and atheism, and at that age I thought everything I was told was true). Are you still Catholic? I probably told you this years ago, but I'm Irish on both sides, with Scotch-Irish ancestry from the MacKay clan.

As for the actual issue of Irish independence, at least until Brexit it seemed like a moot point, didn't it? There isn't oppression and segregation like before, and the Northern Irish industry has a huge tourist income from Britain. Hopefully Brexit and that bitch of a prime minister don't ruin the six counties with their idiocy.

I liked Michael Collins too. Shame they shot him. He didn't really have much of a choice signing that treaty, did he? It was that, or carry on the war and risk losing the progress made. I know that during WWII, some Irish supported the Nazis, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.
