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

    Point is, I can understand an Irish persons point of view in wanting to emphasize with their fellow Irish men in the North, whether it's right or wrong. You take your families side when things happen in life and defend them whether they are right or wrong, and this is the same, just on a broader scale. It's natural to defend your own.

    But people like you just seem to defend everything Britian for the sake of it. Normally starts of playing the devil's advocate for the sake of it in arguements like a united Ireland for example, while secretly wanting a united Ireland. But people like you do it so much, and find the reception to your arguements is pretty hostile, so you actually start disliking the nationalists you are argueing with. And over time your attitude hardens and dislike anything nationalist, and will constantly defend the opposite thereafter, just for the sake of it. It's pretty pathetic, and your a shining example of it. Of course you'll disagree with me for the sake of it, knowing deep down I have you to a tee. You need to get out more, if you whole life revolves around worshipping and defending Britain, just for the sake of it

    Their 'Star' has been arrested!:D

    Well here's a clue, people who haven't killed anyone have a moral highground over people who have killed people and people who condone murder.

    Sitting back and doing nothing but uselessly condemning (from what ever side you are on) is morally reprehensible.
    So your 'moral high ground' is as mythical as the aforementioned unicorn.

    Always the dreamer.

    Care to back that up with figures?

    Strategic politics is in motion. All of this carry-on about what Jerry is supposedly accused of is affecting our intelligence away from water-charges and the hidden from public comings of new taxes. This is most definitely a strategic method in line with local election timing. It stinks of it.

    Jerry will be held for a period of time, to allow the public to digest/brainwash themselves effectively as to having an impact on the voting public. Don't let your mind wander, jerry will be released soon with obviously no charges, and while folk were integrated into this particular news story the government will hopefully assume that you forgot about all the real stories that need dealing with.
    Right, are you aware Gerry has been arrested by the PSNI not the Garda?

    Assisting with inquiries as he always said he would.

    What I would expect of him tbh. Not afraid to go the extra mile.
    Backs up what he says with actions. Shame a few of our other 'elected' TD's wouldn't behave the same way. But then the idiots will re-elect them regardless.

    I don't think you'd be advised to get into the "who killed more" debate, it will make you look like an inconsistent hypocrite.

    I am. It's a nasty tactic opposition politicians do with a handshake to their friends up north.

    Don't believe everything you read about politicians, they do a lot worse behind closed doors

    I certainly hope any of our elected TD's haven't behaved in the same way as 'Our Gerry'.

    Allegedly.

    Youre a complete pacificist then? I take it you are consistent and condemn war on Iraq and Afghanisation? what of WW2, you would have been content to let Hitler run amok over all of Europe?

    I love how the high moral grounders can detach and absolve themselves. There are many ways to 'participate' in violence. Doing nothing is one of them. One sided condemnation when two side are at war, is another.

    I think you'll find doing nothing is the opposite of participating.

    The brighter people in SF must finally realise Gerry has been lying all along.


    If they are to avoid a break up within SF they need to drop Adams asap.


    They simply have no credibility any longer

    You can take comfort in the fact that you don't involve yourself in 'Whataboutery'.

    In fact, most of your posts seem to lack any substance at all! We could replace you with a bot spamming the words 'Shinnerbot' and 'Whataboutery' and nobody would notice.

    I don't understand that one, "Illuminati" ?. what the heck does that mean.

    People have to think outside the box when it comes to politicians, they work in mysterious ways behind the back of the public, obviously.

    If a dog attacks your child and you do 'nothing'...what is your doing 'nothing allowing the dog to do?
    In real life you are participating (passively, but participating just the same) in the butchery of your child.

    del, you're overestimating the brainpower of you're average Shinbot.

    I know they're scum. You know they're scum.

    Still. People will vote for them & support them.

    Also, in fairness, the people who've been running this country have a lot to answer for too...& the electorate want/need to have something new to believe in.

    Enter Shinbot.
