I never said, nor thought any of the victims had donated money to the IRA.
What I did say was I agreed with Urban about those living in Boston who had, now know what it's like.
I hope they have time to reflect on their obnoxious and nauseating donations that helped fund the death of innocent men, women and children.

Don't talk like a twat!

Because they need to be reminded right, despite the fact the vast majority had nothing to do with it. The vast majority of British people had nothing to do with its' government's atrocities, should they be literally reminded about those?

Your argument is just going around in circles, man.

Tell that to the victims of terrorism. I'm sure they'll agree

I'm sure they will.

I will tell it to the victims on both sides.

Incidentally, just exactly what do you think my argument is?

This story was pretty touching. Sorry for all of the people in Boston dealing with this aftermath. I watched all last night hoping they would find the perpetrators. Lots of people will say they lose faith in humanity, but stories like this reaffirm why people should always have faith in humanity.

So wait, people who still live in Boston who may have funded the IRA in some capacity many years ago deserved this? What? How can you even dare to make that connection? I'm definitely not surprised that such a rude and inappropriate attitude has surfaced, but I am actually shocked that it came from Urban and RT. You're allowed to hold any opinion that you want, but it was definitely disrespectful to the majority (and probably ALL) of the victims who weren't involved in the schemes of the IRA.

Yes, if we're including the "majority (and probably ALL) of the victims who weren't involved in the schemes of the IRA"...which we're not.

I'm sorry, I still think the argument was in poor taste regardless.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 04-16-2013, 11:35 AM

I never even said they deserved it, and we're not talking a long time ago we're talking about something that still goes on today.

Like I said it's not an uncommon opinion in Britain and I don't see at all how my comments are detrimental to the real victims in this.
