Joe Plunkett was a raging Communist. Not for me thank you very much....Suzannah said:Oh no, you see according to Silvio's politics, tomato - pickers are the WORST...They throw garbage everywhere and they don't dress well...
Silvio D said:Are you denying that Travellers carry out systematic Social Welfare fraud? Also the drunken sprees thay go on terrorising the inhabitants of the unfortunate town they choose to 'take over'...
Really Suzannah. Smell the coffee....

I would agree with this!!!!renegade pariah said:The only real issues here are more dead people. A lot of people died all at once some of them were children. Perhaps it was an accident perhaps it was a targeted attack at a safehouse as the Americans are reporting. Regardless, people died. The survivors morn, some will grow angry at the injustice. One thing is certain the men in helicopters of a foreign invader will have the blame. I suggest that prayers for the departed are in order, as well as prayers for the soldiers, some who may be feeling remorse at having killed any innocents. One could allso pray that there is a real concern for those people caught in the middle of the violence.
Suzannah said:Eschewal. is that a word???? It might make the difference in your note making sense.
Blindfaith said:Believe whatever you want and knock yourself out. Want to think American's are the bad guys? Go for it. Yep, we're the evil empire, the rogue nation, the capitalistic pigs.
Whatever.
The Americans deny it, but according to you, Silvio, the Americans are wrong. **shrug** When the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" comes out, then I'll form my opinion. The bbc is a very liberal media tool, so of course they're going to put a particular slant on the story. *blech*
Suzannah said:To this day, Joe Plunkett is the man who brought a nation to its feet, and a Crown to its knees. He was no Communist. He was a Hero. And a better man I've yet to meet!
I'm glad you enjoyed Brendan Behan!!!Existential1 said:Those you support are blessed by your heart felt eloquence.
You mention he was inspired by a poet.
I read several articles rebutting the coalition argument that Fallujah was about Baathists or SH loyalism; written at the time of siege stand-off.
Form the point of view of the authors of these articles, much of the resistance in Fallujah, fulcrummed around a traditional poet: who was placing the sentiments of nationalist and Arab resistance to invasion, in this revered poetic and musical medium; and battering it out to market through the modern medium of the CD.
His CD's apparently were to be found everywhere: perhaps crucially in whatever in the Arab street, equates to the Irish pub.
There was an Irish poet who influenced me somewhat once, at least in the way he cut through a day. I think his name was Brendan Behan, and I remember him as having a brother, who himself was no lightwieght.
I like the Irish expression that a person has no "side".
And, of course, the Irish direction riddle, that the best direction involves not starting from here.
Silvio D said:Apologies. I was mixing him up with the Plunkett who wrote Strumpet City. However it doesn't take away from the fact that many Travellers are inbred hooligans who need to be locked up in the 'Joy' for a few decades in order to make our rural towns a safer place....
Suzannah said:O, Grace just hold me in your arms
and let this moment linger...

That's what I said: "They were firing weapons in the air."Silvio D said:Well anyone with a semblance of knowledge of Iraqi culture knows that gunfire is an integral part of a celebration including weddings.
Why don't you tell me what "high powered technology" would have indicated to a helicopter flight crew that the fire they were apparently taking was from a wedding and not an insurgency operative??? It's easy to call them "dumb" from your comfortable little position, safe and sound at home, but put yourself in the position of a gunner in a craft that has just begun taking fire out of the blue, and I daresay you would have done exactly the same.To suggest that with all the high powered technology at the disposal to the American forces that they could have mistaken a wedding celebration for being attacked suggests the people manning these crafts are as dumb as they look....
