A British loyalist American is a distressing phenomenon.

Also, if Scots get independence, then Ireland would go to war over North Ireland.

Yes, definitely.

Dafuq, oh is this the poster who is 12?

Yes. Although given the level of discourse I wouldn't be surprised if it were otherwise.

Now I remember why I try to stay off this part of the forums, because I'm actually a waste of humanity. Yay for my seemingly never ending waste of breath that crawls around on the planet and dares to breathe your same air.

You can't see how saying "Ireland will go to war over the north if Scotland quits the UK" is silly? What's your reasoning for this?

Relax Jack.  It is just that I don't know where you would get that the Republic of Ireland would, even if it had the capability, go to war in Northern Ireland because of Scottish Independence.  There are several reasons that this is just an odd and out of left field statement.

Okay, I'll clear it up - Ireland has never gone to war over Northern Ireland. The IRA had no connection to the Republic of Ireland but was an illegal terrorist group. Ireland did have a civil war between pro-Treaty and anti-Treaty sides over the North (the Treaty in question allowed the partition of the island), but that's it. We're not going to go to war. Huh

Jack, very brief and simplistic summary: Ireland gained limited independence in 1922 that slowly evolved from the Irish Free state to the Republic of Ireland. The Treaty had partitioned 6 counties in the North that were largely Protestant and in support of the Union.  There was a civil war in Ireland that followed this treaty. The pro-treaty side won and since then the Irish government has been against the IRA and worked in concert with the British against physical force republicanism.  As part of the Good Friday agreement in 1998, the Republic even amended the constitution to remove claim to the North. There has been a political peace process and devolution in the form of the Northern Ireland assembly since.

In Jacks defense, I speculated that Ulster Unionists might have been behind the Boston bombings in the first hours after the attacks. Of course, seeing as two Chechens were the culprits, my suggestion wasn't that crazy.

To be fair, yes it was.

Good documentary on The Troubles if you are interested in learning more, Jack.

No because I don't buy into idiotic crap like nationalism.

A "No" vote is an endorsement of British nationalism.
