You demonstrate your lack of knowledge on the subject with that last statement. The first revolts against the English rulers were carried out by The United Irish Men who were Catholic and Protestant Irish men. The Republic is full of Protestant Irish republicans and I know quite a few Protestants who would prefer a united Ireland. The protestant versus Catholic thing doesn't exist. Its a nationalist and unionist thing. So the Yankees in the US civil war were backward, the ANC are backward, basically every country that has ever fought for its right to be self governed is backward?Vilham wrote:
As I said, the fact that a country and its people allow everything it does to be so heavily influenced by religion is pretty backwards. The situation that exists in those place are all in culturally backwards places that haven't had their culture evolve with the events of the rest of the world.
