In my opinion, the 1916 rising was the TRUE IRA, fighting against an oppressive government - that is killing enemy soldiers and what not. Not firing at civilians or bombing busses killing innocent civilians.
The IRA were freedom fighters, but once they got that freedom they twisted it and turned it into the damned RIRA who run around like those bloody arabs screaming their heads off with AKs and wearing those filthy masks.
What's your view?
What? Some people see them as Terrorists, others as Freedom Fighters. While obviously you can probably compare this to most militant factions at any point in history. Only reason I'm mentioning the IRA is because I've recently read a lot about them, >_>
And been to a few pubs I shouldn't of recently.

Excuse me, I wasn't quite sober.
What I'm trying to get at here is simply different points of view on this rather two-sided debate.
One side says they are freedom fighters looking to save Ireland and restore it as a proud nation.
The other claims they're just a bunch of bumbling terrorists who don't know when to stop.
It can be true for both sides,
England was an oppressive and rather cruel government when dealing with the Irish, thus justifying a revolution amongst its people.
Yet, the somewhat recent bus bombings and scares are uncalled for, innocent people don't need to die to get a point across.
He means those damn sand *******, with thier Jihads and their derka derka.

Now it's like Andy Dick meets John Candy. You hybrid beefcake. Suck my c*ck
Nowadays they're neither. They're just another organised crime gang. It's the IRA that run the drugs business in Northern Ireland as well a whole host of other illegal activities. Instead of smuggling guns they now smuggle drugs, illegal drink and counterfeit cigarettes etc.
