Isn't it ironic to read this, from someone with a reference to Orwell in their signature.

If anything it's wishy washy, PC views about curtailing freedom of speech, because of people's precious feelings(iv'e never heard anything so pathetic), that annoy me more. Than idiots spewing any sort of hatred in the first place.

Oh and incitement to hatred laws are ridiculous. Particularly because they protect or try to protect religion from abuse and ridicule. Which after all, considering it's bull****, is about exactly what it deserves. Religion that is.

Don't you think that's a deeply offensive name to use on a site serving victims of republican attrocities, I expect you'll be banned on sight & quite rightly so.

darkman2

They ban anyone who believes the 'Irish' are not a bunch of animals intent of killing Protestants. It just confirms really what we and the world already know about loyalists in the north. Its an own goal.

This all depresses me a great deal. I really mean that, I am not trying to talk sh1te to make an interesting post.

I come from Northern Ireland and live in Belfast at the moment. I was brought up Protestant but the majority of my family come from the Republic of Ireland. I feel like I have no group or following to align myself with. I hate bigotry of all sorts and would love to see this island united. I am very much in a minority and I do not see any solution to it. I am not particularly religious but my church if I go is Church Of Ireland. I have no desire to become a Catholic. I see myself as Irish. The fact that I am or at least am perceived to be Protestant means that I hate the company of traditional Protestants like the auld Love Ulster crap, yet if I try to align myself with Nationalist/Republican I am condemned as a dirty Prod. I am caught between two stools it would seem.

sure i got my posts snipped for suggesting republicans werent all bad people. thus far ive been called a liar and a dupe account and there was some big rant about "The TRUTH"

Are there many people like me? I don't know. I hope there are. How I was brought up meant that I could have turned out a hardline Protestant but I have a brain and thought things through without reverting to "herd instinct" and doing whatever people around me are doing.

I am no expert but I studied Politics to a fairly high level and I understand the issues etc. Many times I have thought of moving to Dublin for jobs but was concerned that I would be viewed in a bad light, despite the fact that I have absolutely no axe to grind at all.

I am quite serious when I say that it annoys me. I mean, I have asked before on Boards if memory serves, how many of you guys know Protestant folk? Not the the NI sort but maybe someone in Laois, Kildare, Donegal, Clare, anywhere really. Is there an issue or do people separate religion from politics better outside of NI.

Just realising I am off topic. Nothing can be done about a sectarian website probably. On reading it, it is so depressing that people feel the need to make comments like that and be so bloody hateful but if you are to support freedom of speech I guess you have to be prepared to hear some "speech" that you are not that fond of.

Oh, believe me, you didn't have to be American to be excluded from that exchange!

Steve, wtf were you trying to say?!

Jigsaw, I know loads of Protestants (or at least people who were born to Protestant families). Tbh, half the time I only realised when someone belonging to them died or got married ... though usually not in that order!

It certainly isn't anything like as bad down here ... I don't think it ever was, actually, but certainly nowadays religion itself has become increasingly irrelevant, let alone any political associations arising from it.

I knew of a protestant lad I went to school with in Clare but we never flew in the same circles. But then I was a total nerd by choice :pac:

well you know im from the states; had time to spend 7 odd years in American schools, learn american takes on everything, american stereotypes; then I came to europe, landed in Clare, doing my 8th irish year of school in IT Carlow now and getting different angles to things really opens your thought process a lot: even just the difference between News here and News there - like on the "War on Terror" and stuff like that.

Thats the problem with only hearing one side of the argument; it becomes indoctrinated into you - which is actually something i heard on PULSE as an accusation against Irish Catholics; but I think it applies to all sides, everywhere, really. Theres indocrination going on everywhere. Look at the Tibet/China situation. India/Pakistan. USA/Iraq. NI/ROI. Everyone is sure they have the Truth, or the right side. I think the only truth is that nobody has any. Religion appears to be a factor in all cases.

Theres no right/wrong side and I think its about finding the point of compromise. Something neither the North or the South seems ready to do: I've been asking around for the last 3 days off everyone I know about their views and to be quite truthful most would prefer to cut along the line and shove [the North] off. And from what I gather on the PULSE site - they just want the Republicans to die. So good job everyone on getting along. Really.

actually at first glance those forums on loveulster seem welcoming in contrast to PULSE - people actually seem to be talking in there as opposed to flaming. In fact at first Glance it almost seems like an interesting place to have discussions o_0

I'm currently shagging a protestant, so I'm doing my bit too. Make love not war and all that. The posters on PULSE just need a good seeing to by a nice Irish boy or girl and they'll soon stop all their fussin' and a fuedin'.

Interesting.... With constant mention (MOP'ing) of anti-irish/anti-catholic linked with the word 'racism' the nutcases over there must think they are some kind of unique race unto themselves and superior to the rest of us.

Why do you think this is any way odd? Are you sure you know what free speech is?

Freedom of speech includes the imparting and exchange of ideas. The very foundation of freedom of speech is freedom of debate, which by its nature includes criticims of ideas. Free speech can't exist if you aren't allowed to criticise the ideas of others.

Many people reject anti-hate laws as they feel the ideas shouldn't be silenced but rathered beaten down and belittled through rational discourse and debate.

This is really quite amazing. It seems you don't understand the whole concept of freedom of speech. Everybody is entitled or should be entitled to air their views or opinions on anything. In essence, be able to say whatever the hell they like, about any topic. They should be allowed do so regardless of the content and without any censor or threats or violence being brought upon them. However, it's a two way process. Thier views in trun are open to the same level of criticism and freedom of rebuttal.

I really fail to see, how you can't grasp, or rather don't like a concept, that has been around and advocated since the Enlightenment. It's the basis of a modern civilised, open society. It's a give and take process.

There are lots of things that people say, that i might object to, or consider controversial or offensive. However i still believe they have a right to express their opinions no matter how repugnant. The minute we start censoring what you can and cannot say, we are on the slippery slope to an Orwellian society , governed by thought police. Thats why it's rather ironic you should hold the view you do, but make reference to Orwell in your signature.

To recap. People can say whatever they like, whenever they like, about anything. Equally people can in reply, ridicule and rebute what others say, that they may disagree with. This is what a healthy open society should be advocating. Not silencing people, because some deem offense to have been caused or their precious, petulant feelings were ruffled. Maybe people like that, should learn to grow out of childhood and enter adulthood.

Dudess,


This is what the response to repugnant ideas, should involve. Rational debate, and ridicule. Not silencing and censorship.

Come to East Donegal. Marches on the 12th, never a problem, go to Rossnowlagh the week before the 12th, not a problem.

A few Presbyterian lads I know have gone to GAA matches in Croke Park etc. and we've had great craic.

I was in Florence and burnt to a crisp, also been celebrating the result and preparing for Manchester as well. This is including the fact that I have my own sites to run, a family, work, and social life and a number of other irons in the fire.

I can't answer for everyones experience and depending on which username you registered with you'd be removed automatically as it only antagonises our members, face facts, its a PUL related site, signing up to be offended is moronic, you wouldn't find me hitting Sinn Feins site then complaining about its content, I know the content before I arrive at my destination.

Anyway keep the complaints coming about the site I've been enjoying them as I receive every single one.

Overheal

My only complaint is having my posts repeatedly deleted, in all fairness.

I find them extremely paranoid about Southern catholics.

Most of them simply detest everything Irish.

Meh the site is like travelling back in time to the 1600's or something. These guys are pretty warped in their views and way behind the times! They talk about 'Lundy's' and 'Rome' etc etc. It is not representing them well - anyway - these people are obviously beyond education (probrably passing this crap on to their kids aswell). The whole scene looks so pathetic that they are more to be pittied then laughed at.


Anybody 'ethnically cleanse' any Protestants today btw?:p

Last week I was reading some of the stuff there out of interest. They then seemed to block my IP, any thread I opened was redirected to a login page - anyone else get this?

I didn't register, was just browsing...

Dudess

So Bluefin, are a lot of these guys really distraught about the injustices perpetrated by the catholic church pre Reformation?

AckwelFoley

I feel tht the biggest issue that they have is the fear of losing their identity and culture, they dont trust the British government, they hate the Irish for just existing and feel that any catholic trying to be civil toward them has an agenda for a 32 county Ireland.

The most bizzare individual ive coe across is an Austrailian of Greek extraction that decided he didnt like been greek anymore at 10 and because he watched english football.. decided to become British.

He now "hates the Irish" and is looking to becme a British Citizen.

I fail to see how this works, i can wear a pin stipe suit, hammer the lambeg drum to the tune of "the sash my father wore" and eat the heads of a few catholic babies all i want.. it will never make me a protestant.

I just dont understand why we all jst cant get along

I dunno I guess they feel backed into a corner.
I mean if you had all 32 counties sure the 6 would stay fairly united in culture for a while but before too long it would just scramble out methinks.

Then again nobody ever bothers with Kerry and it shows when you cant understand a word out of their mouths and try stopping a Dubliner from being, well, a Dubliner - its not gonna happen.

Why don't they break away from the British again? They dont have to form up with the republic but why stick with people you cant trust?

edit: nope stevec I can still see the forums but Im signed in I suppose.

If it were a racist site would it be closed down !!
Not much difference between the two in my opinion other than sectarianism has caused so much death and suffering in Ireland....

Beats me. I hadnt even received the member status of "oxygen theif" which is given to trolls, and i received a few PM's from some of their members telling me that they respected my opinion and welcomed me.

We used to burn their heretike ancestors for robbing our land at every chance we got and then just when Wolfe Tones thinking was making it all alright the RC Church hijacked that thinking and fcuked it all up again. Of course it was helped in that by the British Crown but you get my gist.

mise_me_fein

Most protestants in the North aren´t like that.

It´s a biased site, but then again my opinion is biased.

They fail to mention the treatment of Catholics leading up to the troubles.......how much cr`p can a group of people take before a crazy situation takes hold were everthing is polarised.

Sinn Féin is the most popular Catholic party in the North so basically that whole site is a F you to anyone that votes Sinn Fein.

more things should be a fúck you to anyone that votes Sinn Fein.
