Not technically true. Both countries exist with thier own culture, national dress, capitals, etc. It was thier governments (being very similar) that were joined together. This was a natural event to follow the crowns being merged in the years before.

Yes, but he referred to N.I. being independent like Scotland, but Scotland is NOT independent.

Ignoring the fact EIRE dosnt want NI because it would crash back into poverty (hurrah for an economy propped up by EU grants!) the Catholic population in NI is increasing FAR faster then the Protestent  thanks to the Popes brilliant stance on contraception.

So when they actually hold a referendum in 50 years time youl have a 51% catholic majority..... thats saying all the Catholics want to join with EIRE a sizeble portion dont (the business men etc.)

[color=33ff00]Indeed, there are a lot of catholic unionists. :nod:

BTW GW I think independant was the wrong term to use, 'governmentally independant' is what I should have said. Basically what we had until a short time ago, pity nobody could get along, it just became a power battle between the unionists and nationalists.  :rolleyes: [/color]

Read your history.  That quote was said by a Catholic general, as he ordered the slaughter of an entire town that contained protestants.

That's more like objects of lust, not worship.  Although if they're close enough to perfection, I'd genuflect at the bodie's temple, if you know what I mean..... ;7
