Unless you class your self as a "shinnerbot" I'm lost as to why you felt the need to inform anyone whom you have, or have never voted for tbh.

maybe i am wrong but isn't 'shinnerbot' directed at sinn fein supporters? i'm just pointing out that he is wrong

Because it's possible to have a different opinion here without voting for or supporting Sinn Fein.

Somebody needs a software update.

What? Shot down civillians in the street like the early 1970's?

Well, they did it in Burma, Aden, Cyprus, Egypt, Kenya, Uganda......

And the IRA you commemorate have been killing Irish people since 1919.

Totally different scenario but it was just an example how idiotic your statement that if it had been a conventional war, that the civilian death toll would have been 0.

Perhaps rash of me but it certainly would have been less than it was. The IRA death toll however would be total.

Could have been more too?, but as usual no real answer just another "whatabout" scenario.

No facts, no basis, no hope. :rolleyes:

It's even more hilarious when you consider the fact I've never taken some pacifistic attitude towards the matter and 'condemned violence'.

That's funny, I would have said the same of you. Now we just need to find a truely moderate person to judge us. But who?

Like most political epithets it's not exactly rigorously defined, but the gist of it is someone who's not so much a SF voter (or party member) as someone who's apt to spout SF party line, with particular reference to certain canned phrases straight from the sayings of the Dear Leader, asserting various Republican orthodoxies as fact even (nay, especially!) if contrary to the law of the UK, the law of Ireland, and the contents of the GFA.

Or in the extreme case we saw earlier, the person dispensing with any actual discussion at all, and literally just cutting and pasting chunks from the sf.ie website straight into the forum.

I can accept the fact that the IRA committed some heinous disgusting acts and lost all sight of what they were fighting for, and don't feel the need to come on here defending them constantly, while you feel anytime England/UK/British Army is mentioned in a derogatory fashion are on here in every thread making excuses for them/defending them, while constantly contradicting yourself and justifying their actions with "so what, the IRA done worse whataboutery"

Does the term "shinnerbot" need to be regurgitated every five minutes? So stupid.

The guy you quoted had just argued that, had the conflict in Northern Ireland been fought as a conventional War, civilian casualties would have amounted to a grand total of "0%".

That's absolute nonsense. It might even be an urban myth, but those tend to have some basis in reality.

I agree.

I think 'Shinbot' might be better.

At least when it's spouted you can spot the posters with no actual discussion but just want to stick the boot in.

The quality of debate has really gone down hill in this thread, people will be saying their daddy is bigger than your daddy soon enough.

Yes it certainly looks like his time is up. Furthermore it is also time up for SF the party he surrounded himself with!


What right minded person would associate themselves now with either or both Adams or Sinn Fein.


Their days are indeed numbered !

Every time we ever discuss IRA murderers on this forum all we ever here from the apologists is "what about".

Yet the fact that you all happen to use some trite and useless phrase (akin to the likes of Nobama and Lefty Loonies) is evidence of group think itself.

Fuck, there are too many twists and turns!
