"Did you never do basic British history whilst at school. You know Elisabeth the first, Cromwell, etc., etc. For you all life starts and finishes with partition, your for it so you are not obligated to justify it no matter that the majority of your fellow Irish men and women oppose it."
To which you replied:
"I'm sorry - I wasn't alive before the 1960s. I'm not saying that the history of my own ancestors isn't relevant. But I live in the here and now... I live with what the past has created now."
So what makes you decide when it is suitable to bring ancient (and not so ancient) Irish history into debates?
Are you saying that it's not relevant to the current conflict?
Sounds like a childish stamping of feet and folding of arms reaction to me. |
