BF2S Forums IRA

They were terrorists and still are hiding behind a political puppet

thanx for bringing this up

Originally guerrilla freedom fighters hijacked by petty thieves, drug pushers and organised crime. They did commit true acts of terror so I guess you would have to call them terrorists. They did a cause in which I believe in no justice whatsoever. Those from the original IRA (the IRB as it was then) would have been turning in their graves in the 70s and 80s.

Not to detract from the callous acts of murder they committed but I'd like to see the number of Irish killed, starved or forced to emigrate by the brits over the past 800 years.

I find it funny that as soon as there's a new bully in the world "Al-Quaeda" the IRA the pussies stop "all major operations".

It just shows that all terrorists no matter what they are fighting for have no balls.

Pathetic.

Have to throw a curve ball every once and a while.

I think it was your 4th ball and the batter is walking to first base.

So are you saying the IRA aren't really terrorists because they were provoked?

This topic is about the IRA but as a balance I would invite non-Island of Ireland types to check these links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVF
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Defence_Association
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalist_Volunteer_Force
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ac … rn_Ireland

The reason being that they rarely hear anything other than news related solely to the IRA.

The "war's" over poe - your side lost. Live with it.

LOL. I guess you haven't seen the demographic projections in Northern Ireland and don't realise the fact that I live in a completely independent sovereign republic that isn't even so much as a member of the commonwealth. LOL. Best economy in Europe too. I really feel like I lost hahahaha.

Well Im glad to know that you guys made a country out of killing civilians that were doing NO HARM towards your country. America was founded on war, I know that, and I also know some Loyalists were killed over here who were thought to be loyal to Britain or known to be supporting them. At least we didnt blow up fucking churches and stuff to get our independence. I am a Irish Catholic and the IRA makes me sick.

Out of your depth Foley, even though your name is soooo Irish. The Irish didn't make a country out of killing civilians - we made a country out of killing B specials, the Black and Tans, the British army and the RIC back in the 1910/20s and numerous rebellions in the preceding 800 years. Don't mix that up with what is/was going on in the north. The IRB never blew up any churches. The Republic of Ireland was built exactly the same way the USA was built (except that we always lived on this damp little island, unlike the 'Americans' in America).

Well first the name is from another game. Call of Duty. The rest...well mabey I am out of my depth, but from what Ive seen/heard that is what Ive figured out.

I saw patriot games.  Sean Bean is cool.  That's about all I know about the IRA.

Oh, and Sinn Fein was the/a leader of the IRA and he agreed to a disarmament a few years ago which was cool, and it worked and is still in effect.  Sinn Fein looks like the lead singer of Alabama to me.

LOL.

Sinn Féin is a political party. It literally means 'Ourselves Alone'. I think you're talking about Gerry Adams. I can't blame you for making the mistake given that you lives thousands of miles from here.
