Both sides need to accept each others culture and accept that they have a right to celebrate that culture. Unionists do it with their parades and Nationalists to it with Fleadhs and GAA matches.

I would like to know what Unionists think about the prospect of the All Ireland Fleadh being in NI in 2013. I suspect they would be in favour of it as it would be a much needed boost to the tourism industry.

Well said that man. If everybody had your attitude there would not be a problem<ok>
 
yes, very simply, don't incite one in the first place
You can achieve this very simply by stopping being a bigot and advising your friends and family to stop being bigots also.

We are all responsible for our own actions my friend.
 
Absolutely, so when bigots provoke a response, they shouldn't be surprised if and when they get one.

<laugh>

I knew you would slip up further and the above is another example.

So when rioters try and provoke a response from the PSNI, they shouldn't have been surprised when they got one?

That surprise, WebelBhoy, was the water cannon.

I guess that's me just totally and utterly destroyed your pathetic deflecting.

Cheers <ok>:grin:

See ye <laugh>

You really are an absolute arse.

Look, I'm not taking sides here. All this loyalist/republican stuff is just pure ****ing bollocks.

If ever two sets of people deserved each other it's those two.

You only see things one way my friend, you need to open your eyes lad.

As I see it, you are the most bigoted one on here.

They should expect a proportionate response from the police service. I don't think this was it.

I wasn't inviting you to take sides.

I suggested that not provoking the situation in the first instance would resolve the problem and this is evidence of bigotry <rollyeyes>

<laugh>

Sooooooo, rocks, kerbstones, petrol bombs, cars being set alight versus water cannon ?

But it isn't proportionate? <doh>

<laugh><laugh><laugh>

Go on, just **** off you boring, bigoted mess <ok>
 
the water cannon was there before any violence Hero.....therefore not proportionate.

What relevance does that have exactly? <doh>

Have you ever heard of preparing for all possible outcomes? <doh>

I mean, how dare the PSNI turn up at a potential flashpoint ready to deal with all eventualities <doh>

Not only are you a bigot, you're quite possibly the thickest <ok>

Again, this is exactly how you are viewed by a totally neutral observer and he's bang on the money.
 
A lot of relevance. It was used on an crowd seeking to demonstrate. this appears premature. This appears not to be proportionate. This appears to fit exactly with what I have been saying.

Being called a bigot by Hero<laugh><laugh><laugh>

whatever next?

maybe a rock star by Bono.
 
Rebel..........


.......he's a ****, he's a ****, he's a see you en tea ****.


Haha.

So as I said, how very dare the PSNI have a water cannon on standby for a demonstration which they thought could potentially flare up (and involve them being bombarded with petrol bombs, rocks, kerbstones and potentially being shot at) based on previous form <doh>

Funny old thing, their premature (according to you) assessment was spot on and it did flare up so your point is what exactly? <doh>

Seriously, you're quite possibly, the thickest bigot I've come across <ok>
