Yes, it's also my right to tattoo a swastika onto my arm, and telling everyone i hate jews. The orange order marching is their way of putting down the Irish.

That article i posted showed involvement. I'm not saying they have anything to gain from it, or that it's anything sinister, but they do have an impact on the way the marches are done. There's always big issues involving where the marches should be allowed to go and whatnot. The british government do get involved in this process.

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?

Of course Ireland could run the country successfully. Just look at the republic over the last 10 years. It's become one of the most thriving economies on the face of the planet. The quality of life is high. Things are looking good.
I don't agree that the situation would get any worse than it has been over the last 30 years.

Seriously you can't believe that.

I agree. I don' think they'll ever "get along" but it'll certainly stop the IRA making attacks, except for retaliation to loyalist attacks, which i suspect would go on for quite a few years.
