My thought is which had a worse effect on Ireland, the English government * or the Church ?

Roman Catholic Irish were subdued to ethnic cleansing policy by Oliver Cromwell. ... he ordered that the Irish were allowed to live west of the Shannon river only.

Where are the great Irish films or TV shows or even night life? Night life in Ireland seems to consist of people going to pubs and getting drunk.



firstly you know that Ireland is a tiny country (population <5million) so there isnt a large film industry - not that that matters because even if there was you wouldnt like the films!

What Richard Did is a 2012 Irish film directed by Lenny Abrahamson and written by Malcolm Campbell. The film is loosely based on Kevin Power's Bad Day in Blackrock, a fictionalised novel inspired by the real-life death of Brian Murphy in 2000


Shadow Dancer is a 2012 British-Irish drama film directed by James Marsh and scripted by Tom Bradby, based on his novel of the same name.

The Guard is a 2011 Irish buddy cop comedy film written and directed by John Michael McDonagh,

Parked is a 2011 Irish drama film written by Ciaran Creagh and directed by Darragh Byrne about homelessness, friendship, and the will to survive adversity, whilst still retaining poise.

(there are more)

as opposed to England where 'night-life' consists of going out to the pub and having a fight.


quote:

Irish terrorist organizations and it's anti-choice position on abortion.


Abortion is legal in Ireland and there is no significant terrorist activity - and really never has been since 1922.

Homosexual marriage is also legal in Ireland

I suspect that you are confusing the similarly named "NORTHERN Ireland" with ''Ireland''.
 NI is British ruled, largely protestant, abortion is almost entirely illegal as is homosexual marriage but terrorism is common.


do you want to try again on the Ireland is inferior to England thing?

Yes, I saw an Irish film which depicted a serial killer ripping off the clothing of one of his terrified victims. High class entertainment.

I'm just glad that doesn't happen in Irish pubs. emoticon

Abortion is legal now but up until recently it was not. Ireland has a long history of being anti-choice while England was not.

I consider NORTHERN Ireland to be part of Ireland. I certainly don't consider it a foreign country consisting of non-Irishmen and women.

So the terrorism is the fault of the British and not people in Ireland?

No, England is still superior to Ireland.

and on the basis of one film you condemn the entire industry?

"Long history" England and Wales legalised abortion in 1967 (still illegal in Northern Ireland) but it was a very long time before it became widely available


quote:

I consider NORTHERN Ireland to be part of Ireland.



In the same way that I consider Mexico to be part of the United States?

but even if I ignore your geopolitical stupidity Northern Ireland (rather famously) has a protestant parliament for a protestant people and it is this protestant parliament that refused (and refuses) to legalise abortion NOT the Catholic Church

England is still superior to Ireland.


in ways which you have been totally unable to define

Well, Philler ?
Too inconvenient a point which does not suit your biased false premise comparing a 100 year old Nation of five million to its old colonial masters, a Nation of 66.5 million who raped it for for how many centuries ? How much of what build GREAT ??? Britain was stolen from Ireland ?

I understand why you ignored my point once, but can you continue to do so and not concede the argument ?

very little if anything.
(but if you want to play that game how much of what made Ireland came from the backs of the British slaves Irish raiders took for centuries?)

remember it was the Vikings that introduced the concept of towns to Ireland pre viking the Irish didnt have windows in their dwellings and it was only in the late viking period that Ireland got around to adopting coinage - but even then they didnt mint their own coins they just accepted the coins minted elsewhere (mainly England and Scandinavia).

 the first Irish coinage, minted in Dublin from circa 997 under the authority of Sitriuc III. (a Viking)This coinage was a direct (and relatively good) copy of the contemporary English silver penny of Aethelred II.

Ireland has almost no natural resources the one thing it had in abundance oak was useless as unlike the English oak the Irish oak doesnt have a single large trunk rather it has several smaller twisted stems rising from a single bole. so is quite useless for any purpose beyond fire wood.

There are obviously more similarities than differences.


 
Given the whole Brexit situation, I think Ireland might think they are better than England right now, aren't they considering leaving the U.K.?

That tops even Philler's argument that an Irish film was not to his tastes as if that proves anything given he hates American movies too.
