1) Anecdotal experience is not required to study a country's history, or to understand it. I know you're bitter about Ireland being colonised, but you sound ridiculous, especially in the latter half of that sentence.
Your attitude that prompted my reply is the same that the British government showed to the Irish people through its governance of the region. It lead to famine and oppression by people they never met and who had no need to see the results of their actions. Britain killed millions of Irish from neglect and apathy.
I sound ridiculous? How about this?

It is ridiculous to claim that they would still be rebelling against British rule in 1970s if not for the religious factor which stopped Ireland from intergrating with Britain, which provided a basis for discrimination and kept the conflict seething on to burst into violence
You truly cannot be serious? Rebelling?

2) "in depth", you illiterate monkey. By all means, continue to be staggered if you like.
You are no Smasharoo darlin' but a weak little troll. Also learn to spell before you call others illiterate. Coplonised made me giggle.

3) So, to be clear, you're arguing about omission? That's all I wanted to know.
Omission of 3/4 of Irelands history and the motivations for modern day conflict, but feel free to keep omitting. And for the record, history is often a case of looking for the middle line between 2 conflicting views. Have you ever heard the other? I have.
