Anyone else watch this?
Quality 
Really highlighted the fact that terrorism went on for years in Ireland but it was only taken more seriously since it happened to America
It isn't referred to as a war, just as "troubles". Thats what pissed the killer off so much & you can see why!
Never really looked at it in that way before!

I think it was taken more seriously when 3,000 people died in one incident.

How many people do you think died through the "troubles" in Ireland?

exactly Matt. the IRA pounding the shit out of London with bombs for years. my family have lived through that for years. my dads office was gutted by an IRA bomb, and knew people injured by the blasts. he also knew close colleagues that died in the WTC's. its no different by any accounts.

We need a film to highlight how fucked Ireland is, just like what Trainspotting did for Scotland.

You quite clearly don't know the history.
I've seen many an impartial bystander agreeing with the catholic side.
The british goverenment were a bunch of cowards I think you will find.

I didn't say I agree with blowing people up did I.
Innocent lives should never be lost imo.
What I did say was the IRA did have a valid cause.
Which I still agree with.
If you can't have a discussion without personal insults that shows to me who's right tbh.

I didn't see it.
From his posts there though edd actually really doesn't have a clue at all.
It fair enough him wanting to support his side but he is totally brainwashed with propaganda.
