  1. I don't think that they would commit murder. I understand what you're saying though. I don't think we're going to free in the definition of a failed state. Clearly I think that the state in Northern Ireland has not failed at all. There are social problems that need to be addressed.
  2. It's not going to stop flowing though. You could say that about any area of a developed country (In this case being the UK) in the world. "Yeah but if they stopped the money they'd be fucked" - well yes... But they've not and they are not going to. Didn't realise the police force was sectarian? In what way? Also I haven't looked it up but I imagine if you took Northern Ireland individually on the global corruption index it would be nowhere near the top and probably roughly the same as the UK. Compared to real "failed statelets" (if you want to call them that) Northern Ireland will be nowhere near.
  3. I'm not aware of the issues in the assembly. There's a reasonable standard of living, quality of life and people are relatively prosperous. There is a National Health Service, working police force and very little corruption. Actually the 'statelet' side of things seems to be reasonably efficient and stable. Sure there are social issues but that doesn't make the place a 'failed statelet'.
  4. If you've got a weird definition of a "failed statelet" then yes. Obviously by normal definitions that's a no though.
  5. Well this is getting stupid. I really hope you're trolling because you seem quite smart. You said that terrorist atrocities were carried out to the "unmitigated glee of its [Northern Ireland's] population". That is a massive generalisation. The people who's families were murdered in atrocities from both sides would hardly have been jumping for joy let alone feel glee. Sure I imagine he did know people and could have said something. Perhaps he did. Who knows? He was actually pretty involved in the Northern Irish punk movement which was pretty anti-conflict. If you listen to the song 'Alternative Ulster' then that might give you an idea. Anyway my general point is that there certainly was a middle way. You don't need to tar everyone with the same brush which is what you did. No denying that Northern Ireland has problems but I don't really see how you spouting baseless Shite is going to sort them out. And Northern Ireland is not my nation I choice. That would be Scotland. See you later big man.
  6. He said bombings and terrorist atrocities were "carried out to the unmitigated glee of its population". In other words the entire population of Northern Ireland loves the conflict so much as to feel glee. He also said that there are "no significant communities" who haven't been actively involved in terrorism. He toned it down slightly that time by suggesting that although not everyone supported terrorism almost everyone did. Even that is massively untrue and a generalisation. I assume he is trolling because he seems intelligent but is coming out with unfounded opinions like these. Maybe it's just his way of getting his point across - by over exaggerating it and being aggressive. Who fucking knows. Either way not everything he has said has been correct. Adios.
  7. Again I'm assuming you're trolling. I don't really understand why you see me as a plastic anything. I am mostly muscle fibre, tissue and water. Tough times buddy-o. I never said it was the work of an extreme minority, you seem to have severely jumped the gun. However, you suggested that the entire population of Northern Ireland was actively involved in conflict or "supported" one side or the other. A frankly stupid as f**k generalisation. My Dad grew up in Northern Ireland and was severely sick of the antagonism of both sides. He just wanted to get on with his life. You suggesting that everyone was involved is untrue and that's what I was saying. Also (and you definitely were trolling here) Northern Ireland is not a "failed statelet" by any stretch of the imagination.
  8. Well reasons to be confident maybe even proud I suppose but arrogance is just a load of pish
  9. You're massively generalising. I assume you're just trolling but still.
  10. Imagine being arrogant about being Scottish, Jesus fucking wept.
  11. Your a bean m8 'nd not at all #dece Haters be hatin'. Decers be Datin' x
  12. Nobody has to. Anyone could do the caravan thing
  13. Gutting. Hopefully it reopens because its quality
  14. Imagine I'd they were doing that just to f**k you over. Imagine them all getting round the coffee machine and being like "yeah lets just shaft the b*****d for 40 more p. Just to show him who's boss" and then all laughing and strolling back to their desks happy to have fucked over another willing customer
  15. That sounds hard mate. Have you considered getting counselling or anything? I know it's easy to say but it's not a good idea to beat yourself up.
  16. It takes so much balls to post this so respect for that. I could give you some advice and say that live your life the way you want to and don't beat yourself up about the past or how you feel about yourself. For what it's worth you seem like a thoughtful and nice guy from your post. My best piece of advice would be to go and see a professional who could help you out. A counsellor, psychiatrist or whatever. I did and already feel so much better about myself and positive about life. I hope you're okay in the end mate and there is a light at the end of the tunnel no matter how bleak life seems.
  17. Livi 2 - Hibs 0 was my first ever hibs game by ra way. Preseason friendly that wiz shite? Totes #undece from you but sounds like your having a hard time m8. I followed that Rod Petrie account but it's more out of sympathy really cause he's utter shite. Could potentially be a good account. Real Romanov isn't much better and he's more of a radge. Got to believe in The hand of Rod or we'd totes have no hope. Keep #believing and stay #dece
  18. Yup you raised the bar and haters be hatin'
