The IRA have murdered heaps of people

True. I dislike the look and sound of Jerry Adams and his ilk as much as anyone. There have been "heaps" of catholic dead from Loyalist para-militaries too. (935 civilians, 708 of them Catholic)

Both sets of terrorists killed many of their own side as well, to enforce terror control. These figures do not include things like routine beatings, torture, "kneecaping" etc. (much bigger numbers I suspect)

The numbers are sad but interesting to look at.

ROFLMAO!!!! Better study some Irish history... there is always two sides to a story. It's amazing the opinions you have so far out of your realm as to be embarrassing... or perhaps not... just you.

Here's a start:

1. To deprive the Catholics of all civil life
2. To reduce them to a condition of most extreme and brutal ignorance

3. To dissociate them from the soil He might, with absolute justice, substituted Irish for Catholics-and added, (4) to expirate (cause to expire) the Race:

The Irish Catholic was forbidden the exercise of his religion.
He was forbidden to receive education,
He was forbidden to enter a profession.
He was forbidden to hold public office.
He was forbidden to engage in trade or commerce.
He was forbidden to live in a corporate town or within five miles thereof.
He was forbidden to own a horse of greater value than five pounds.
He was forbidden to purchase land.
He was forbidden to lease land.
He was forbidden to accept a mortgage on land in security for a loan.
He was forbidden to vote.
He was forbidden to keep any arms for his protection.
He was forbidden to hold a life annuity.
He was forbidden to buy land from a Protestant.
He was forbidden to receive a gift of land from a Protestant.
He was forbidden to inherit land from a Protestant.
He was forbidden to inherit anything from a Protestant.
He was forbidden to rent any land that was worth more than thirty shillings a year.
He was forbidden to reap from his land any profit exceeding a third of the rent.
He could not be guardian to a child.
He could not, when dying, leave his infant children under Catholic guardianship.
He could not attend Catholic worship.
He was compelled by law to attend Protestant worship.
He could not himself educate his child.
He could not send his child to a Catholic teacher.
He could not employ a Catholic teacher to come to his child.
He could not send his child abroad to receive education.

You really need to learn that what is.... IS.
