I think you need to revisit the definition of terrorist, if you think the IRA somehow aren't. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Congrats! You qualify to be a "terrorist." |
You need to read a bit more on the subject. The IRA were both terrorists and criminals of a more "ordinary" ilk. They used crime to fund their organisation, to impose their authority, and simply because they could get away with it. But there were levels - the political leadership of Sinn Fein, the top paramilitary commanders, the active units, the informers, and the more ordinary supporters from Republican communities from where some people who would be criminals under virtually any circumstances took advantage of the conflict for their own ends. The picture was not as simple as you suggest. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

There were also those that were involved on pain of death, in much the same way that the nazis conscripted 'supporters'

Oh well, I suppose is-is were no different: first thing they did rocking up to a town was start "taxing" ppl
I can never figure out the self loathing either. White, middle-class ppl so guilt ridden about... something... they're literally crying in the streets some times.

So what you're saying is that people should blindly follow their 'own', whether they believe that it's morally incorrect or morally correct?
You're setting a very dangerous precedent here. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

mpd says he's considering retiring to Phuket, still gets called a brown hating racist. Mpd says he doesn't excuse anyone funding the IRA, but gets called a white supremecist apologist because he doesn't condemn the very existence of Trump who attended a lunch and never contributed to the IRA. |

There's a lot of reactionary politics about. Instead of sitting down and thinking what your position actually is, what kind of politics one actually supports, people just fly from one headline to the next, pick out some little aspect of whatever is in the news and rage about it. Then they'll often find themselves in contradiction with things they've already said.
Also, they'll argue till they're blue in the face because they don't like a person who espouses a view, without actually taking the time to think whether that person actually might have a good point. Obvious examples are the way people attack Trump and Farage, but it happens here too.
It's tiresome, and it also pushes others deeper into corners they'd probably rather not be in, which is counterproductive for the attacker. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That reminds me...must see if I can find the full interview she did with Jordan Peterson. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

No, race aside, that's not the case. This is one reason why aiming for equality of outcome is not a good idea. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
