how do you mean "too thick" though ? you asked me to elaborate on my claim that irish isn't a race, and I showed you a genetic map of the English, irish, Scottish and others, which demonstrated that the English and the irish are the same people. how does that make me thick ?
I would advise you to research your subject a little more. Your knowledge on the topic is hopelessly inept. I have directed you to sources that will help your quest for knowledge. You have chosen not to listen to me. I was prepared to help you, but you ain't interested. Please keep hold of that Robert Kee book. I've identified 3-4 areas covered in that book that you have made an absolute **** of. I am curious as to why you chose not to listen to him on those.... But hey. If you ain't prepared to play. I don't see why I should either. Night night.
that's all you can say though. every time I ask you to challenge a point ive made, you just say something like, "Your knowledge on the topic is hopelessly inept". it's a meaningless response, and a hopeless response. you haven't identified 3-4 areas ive got wrong. you haven't identified any. you tried to identify one and you got it wrong. it's a patheticly vague and evasive response to my detailed factual explanations, and a response which is clearly based on you abject ignorance of the subject matter.
Here Mick, did you know that in the December 1910 General Election in the UK the Liberals won more seats than anyone else. Yet they didn't one single vote from a female. Not a single one.
I can find no source for this vote or election. But a majority approved DeValera's constitution in 1937 in the refurendum held ====================================================== A majority ? 55% of votes cast approved it. that was 38% of the electorate, and it excluded the unionist north. that's the only mandate the irish republic has. you think that every Irishman wanted independence from the british empire, but the best you could do was 38% excluding protestants. pathetic.
What has the pope got to do with this? ===================================== Ask someone at Sinn Fein. They asked him to endorse the constitution, and he refused. Probably because his predecessors had purported to bequive the island of Ireland to the King of England. But typical republicans, no dount they'd have been shouting from the roof tops if he'd endorsed it, but like everything else, it's just been swept under the carpet because he refused.
98% thats like something Mugabe would come up with. Please if you feel the voting in NI in the early 80s was fair you really are more delusional than I thought =================================================== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_sovereignty_referendum,_1973#Results sorry, it was 98.9%
And a few years later they changed their mind, so ......? ============================= no they didn't change their mind. 38% of the population (excluding protestant northern Ireland) voted for independence from the british empire. even if they had changed their mind it would have been illegal (as recognised by Cosgrave), but they didn't change their mind.
Oh ok then. The first Irish settlers came from the Basque Country. Now go away, heed my advice. Learn about your subject and we'll move on to your next calamity
As documented? Was he there to document it? What is his source ===================================== he interviewed them, and broadcast the interviews on RTE and BBC.
It's not my subject, but I still know vastly more about it than you. Even if the original inhabitants of both islands came directly from Portugal, that would demonstrate my point that the English and the irish are the same race, not the claim made on this thread that they are a different race. according to kee, the Portuguese (or whatever they were) came to this island first and then some of them migrated to Ireland, before being invaded by waves of outsiders including the gaels. subsequently modern English moved into Ireland and further assimilated the gene pool.
Again, thinking only 1.1% of the voting population would vote for a united ireland in 1973, you really are beyond delusional. im not disputing the figure the election contrived, im disputing its validity
here is the gene map for those who missed it the first time : http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/06/the-english-are-like-the-irish-genetically/
