There are many marches. Different Orange order groups, and loyalist groups. Generally during Summer.

In some cases, throughout entire towns.

Not sure what you meant by that? Free as in, they should be allowed to march? Sure, i guess it's their right, but it just goes to show their opinion towards the Irish. They think of them as subhuman, and it's been that way since the Battle of the Boyne.

Here you're saying that the British consider the Irish sub-human?
Not sure who you're talking about here, but no one I know thinks like that. Once again -- not sure who you're talking about.
And I meant isn't it the right in NI to march around as you wish? Not breaking any laws.

I don't know how they'd benefit. But they always seem to be involved.

Do you have proof?
I'm not arguing the issue -- it would just seem a strange and pointless thing for anyone to be involved with.

Quite simply, yes. I don't believe the british should be in northern ireland as the governing power. Ireland is quite capable of handling itself. And no, i'm not adding to the situation. I don't dislike loyalist people. Individually, i'm sure they're quite nice people. But they shouldn't be ruling northern ireland.

That's the issue. Are the NI able to rule it successfully?
There seems to be so much hatred, if there wasn't a third party involved it could get a LOT worse very quickly.
Agree, or not?
Once again -- I find it impossible to believe that the british leave, and suddenly everyone starts getting along.
Seriously you can't believe that.
