I am sure that British history and culture are high on the agenda in Yadkinville.

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

[Chorus]

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

I know. :(

Sadly, we can only hope that one day our women are free to have abortions, our gays are free to marry and we are free to display a nipple at a major sporting event without destroying society in perpetuity.

One day, SM. One day.

Thankfully we in the US realize that whining about 40-year old saggy boobies shown on TV don't destroy the world... Just ABC.
 
This is another case where the "no-fly" fricking list totally failed. If it wasn't for the underwear bomber peeing his pants that one would have been a disaster...

This time they were barely able to stop the plane from taking off, made it turn around on the runway while Mr. On-The-No-Fly list almost made it safely to Dubai.

Maybe they were right.

Feb 2004: A nipple is shown on US tv.
2007: Economic meltdown ensues.

Coincidence?

The no-fly list is only as good as the people compiling it and the people implementing it. For the underwear bomber, he wasn't on the no-fly list. Instead, he was on some uberhuge list that seems next to useless. For this guy, he was put on the no-fly list but the airline didn't bother to use the updated version.

I heard that they did that deliberately so that his phone calls could be monitored before take-off to try and find out his accomplices.

It sounds to me like it worked, not perfectly, but it worked.

What does your whine have to do with the support that the British give them??

You have a very tenuous knowledge of the history of Northern Ireland, the Protestants were and are the majority population of that province. There were many injustices perpetrated by both sides up to and after the British Army went to Northern Ireland in 1969 and were welcomed as saviours by the Catholic population. If they had not gone a civil war, every bit as bitter as Bosnia, would have resulted. That history has been rewritten and resold to gullible Americans, as an imperialist regime imposing its will on a cowered populace is just frigging priceless.

The IRA and Sinn Fein, who you seem to think are so wonderful, wanted, for a very long time, to impose a Marxist government on both Northern and Southern Ireland. I might also point out that the IRA has fragmented again into the Real IRA which is continuing to plant bombs.

Which has what to do with the British support for the Orange Men??
 
tom prendergast said:
OK, how about you tell me what you think you know about the Orange Order and why you want to single them out?

You brought up Americans supporting the IRA and I countered with the British support of the Orange Men, to show you that you really need to look into that mirror that you keep wanting to hold up for everyone else.

Now, instead of acknowledging this, you want to turn it into a "explanation" thread.

Sorry, but your inalbility to see how your own country acts (sometimes) has made your attempts fail.

:facepalm:

It wouldn't hurt if you are going to talk about a subject to at least do some background reading. You have this fixation with the Orange Order as if they are a separate entity to the mainstream Protestant populace. I notice that you make no mention of the unionist paramilitaries such as the UDF, UFF etc.

I suggest that you read this excellent article by Christopher Hitchens, it says it all.
