Just finished episode three, with four coming up next on IPTV. Holy hell. Intense and depressing. Hard to wrap one’s head around the hatred.
PBS Documentary on The Troubles in Northern Ireland
- Thread starter Menace Sockeyes
- Start date
1st semester at Iowa I read a book about the Northern Ireland issue. Eye opener
Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Always amazed me how that played out.
Check this out while you're at it.
I’ve always been interested in this but never seem to dig in. Thanks for the info on the program.
Hate is a tough cycle to get out of. Ireland and Sunni via Shiite are the two ones that always come to mind
I'm supposedly of 100% Irish Catholic stock, and "the troubles" always seemed like the dumbest thing ever to me. Seems like they figured it out by the 90's, much better to get along and go the tourist trap route.
Would have been weird as a middle-class American Irish Catholic kid to visit Northern Ireland in the 70's or 80's, although probably your Americanishness would have been obvious to all sides immediately.

The Milltown Cemetary Attack and Corporals Killings footage was insane. A terrorist killing and a mob killing, both witnessed live on TV.

Ireland joining the EU was the biggest change. It’s amazing what investment and economic success can do.
Nyah these days it's India and China. Pakistan is a basketcase of a country and financially bankrupt.History repeating itself? Seriously!
Yes, but that’s irrelevant. We know that historically, we humans seem to make the same mistake over and over again. Different nationalities, but same mistakes. We may never learn from our mistakes.
