Have you ever witnessed two siblings in the supermarket having a barney and the mother getting angry at the two and separating them? Someone in that situation has the ability to say that they don't care what the argument is about, would you both just quit?
Now expand this idea of snotty little children by a factor of millions. Instead of children, we'd have countries fighting each other, using any excuse they can as to why they're right, be it religion or otherwise.
Since 1916 the two parts of Ireland have been petulant snot-noses intent on harming the other with the prize being little more than "Ha ha, I was right, Nyah Nyah". This week the IRA officially announced that as an organisation its weapons were "beyond use". The weapons of idiotic destruction have officially been decomissioned. The North still retains its weapons as a part of the UK, but we don't know under what capacity.
Only the Irish who've gained a reputation as being stupid could keep a war simmering for 90 years. Ancient grudges without purpose except as revenge for killing our brothers because we killed yours because you killed ours etc etc etc ad nauseum ignotium per ignotius have been kept on the boil and for what?
The border hasn't moved since it was laid down except when it's been blown apart to a new location. So what is the damn point? I don't care what the reasons are anymore, everyone should have put up, shut up, gone home and eaten dinner a long time ago. Ireland - you've been behaving like children for 90 years. Grow up!
