Yes, I know what's causing the riots but isn't the point that this was a democratically taken decision? You get the impression that there are utter twats on both sides who just live for the excuse to throw petrol bombs. Mugs.
Yes, thanks for taking time out from your usual laughable conspiracy theorising and explaining it to me. I really didn't know what democracy was.You do realize that a, "democratically taken decision" means that the majority view prevailed over the minority view.
I can't understand why people equate "democratic" decisions with everyone being happy. The majority are happy, and the minority are pissed.
That is how democracy works.
My impression was that people in democratic societies were generally conditioned to accept most decisions made in a democracy as the will of the people, especially trivial ones such as determining when a flag should fly.
True. Who has said that then?"They're both as bad as each other" is just about the laziest comment anyone could make.
Why even f***ing bother.
Correct. So now we've established you've got nothing of worth to add, perhaps f*** off to a thread about Ron Paul or tin foil hats?So you do understand.
My mistake.

I can't think of too many less appealing places to visit.
Au contraire sir. When they're not rioting, IMHO Belfast is a terrific city and Northern Ireland is gorgeous.

I've re-read my initial comment and concluded that I did no such thing. It's just that you're a bit stupid.I only commented because you appeared to be perpetuating the myth that a "democratic" decision was a decision which satisfies everybody.
This is of course the truth.Even though the violence has subsided in recent years, the hate is still there and very real. It's a tinderbox waiting to be ignited and this flag thing is just an excuse.
thats the morning sorted.
He is probably referring to this comment " You get the impression that there are utter twats on both sides who just live for the excuse to throw petrol bombs. Mugs. " , which to be fair is a relatively lazy comment, without any real attempt to look at the grievances behind the situation.True. Who has said that then?
In this instance, the loyalists are the antagonists with UVF members being accused of getting involved. Twunts.

I'd use the word catalyst.Even though the violence has subsided in recent years, the hate is still there and very real. It's a tinderbox waiting to be ignited and this flag thing is just an excuse.
Correct, you didnt.I've re-read my initial comment and concluded that I did no such thing. It's just that you're a bit stupid.
