Why do protestant unionists in northern ireland insist they are "anglo saxon lowland scots" and not celtic irishmen?

      cool move to spout off a bunch of sectarian race brained nonsense and then retreat as soon as you're criticized by another Irish person. real posterboy for republican socialism you are anyway

          I wish I could come across as cool and aloof as you... you must be such a happy and fulfilled person to be acting like this

            Do you have a point?

            Yer man asked me to explain the Plantations. I did. Now your making empty noises. I don't have anything left to say and I don't think you do either.

              you're a deeply unpleasant person lol. why don't you find a space more accepting of your backwards views and snide attitude instead of giving Irish folk a shit name on here?

              all I want is for you to engage with one of my criticisms instead of disengaging like a coward when challenged on your objectionable views. if you're such an authority on Irish nationalism that should be no problem for you?

                I didn't know I was being criticised.

                I think I gave a fairly factual summary of "what were the plantations" which is what was asked.

                  well you obviously got your hackles raised at my comments so your reading comprehension must be woeful if you didn't realise I was criticising you:) hope you can grow and become a nicer person and less secterian in future, wish you all the best
