Papal Nuncio Archbishop Charles Brown marches at head of Armagh parade disrupted by bomb threat

Its funny. If you are a Catholic and you did this you are a terrorist. If you are Protestant you are extremists. It's a funny world.

Too true, Seanmor! I've been proposing for discussion the Aristotelian golden mean for years now. The Buddhist middle way. A united Ireland needn't be a forcible takover by either artificial segment of the Island of Ireland, or a subsumption by the Island of Great Britain but a dialectical synthesis of both. With the ever lumbering tower of Babel that is the EU, the Commonwealth of Nations seems an amicable compromise from where I'm observing the panoply of reactionaryism to one financial crisis after another. Both Roman Catholicism and Anglican Protestantism have failed Ireland miserably. Time we tried a little generic Christianity for a change.

The Reunification of Ireland is by no means impossible, but it will require a great effort by the leaders in both parts of the divided county. Most people in in all of Ireland seem to think that Reunification means the imcorporation of the North into the South, and the chances of this happening in the forseeable futute are virtually nil. How about the South reaching across the artificial border and making Reunification as attractive as posdsible to the North, also to to G.B.? Irish people, North and South, have much more in common with the English, Scots and Welsh than with the Rumanians or Bulgarians. A Reunited Ireland with closer political links with G.B. would be very beneficial to both countries.

The price of ignorance. These Protestant extremists still think its the 1690's. They need a solid education away from N. Ireland Protestant ghettos which breeds this ignorance and hatred. It's a shame.

Ulster-Scot Calvinists have nothing to fear from a united Ireland, and everything to gain. The boundary commission was drawn in the shifting sands of political paranoia. The longer Ireland remains partitioned, the longer a more organic relationship with the neighbouring island nation is delayed. They should have the courage of their own convictions, take their seats at the constitutional conference, and help build "a shared island, a shared Ireland" (Ó h'Úigín, 2011). Sooner, rather than later, the parsimonious sons of Ulster will have to reconcile with the prod-igal sons of Munster, Leinster and Connacht. Why defer the inevitable?

It's time to end the nonsense and UNITE with the Rep. of Ireland.

The NIR-UKers go beserk period but on St Patrick's Day they really show their true nature, BONKERS.
