Because they are their own country. It would be like the UK being part of USA, I would hate that.

NI should not be part of the UK it should be part of Ireland and Ireland should be one place.

We have not evolved to do that we have evolved to procreate and survive.

Because they are a proud and talented Nation with their own customs and ideals of society, why on earth would the Repulic of Ireland want to be tied to the UK,2 of the 3 that are have a growing number of their citizens who would love to be free of the Uk too, namely Wales and Scotland.

Cos things didnt go too well for the Irish when they were in the UK..

[Zippy]

never heard anybody say Ireland should be part of the UK.

I think they get a pissed when they are referred to as though they are part of the UK. Like Canadians hate being mistaken for Americans. But thats a different thing.

Unless you mean Northern Ireland?

I think this was in response to Beasties comments in this thread : http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=173464

tbh it's not something I ever hear people saying at all.

its cus we spent so long trying to get out of it so when someone says we should be in the UK it insults all the people that died to make us a republic

gosh, maybe it has something to do with the fact the UK already colonised it, destroyed its culture and then split it in two?

Yeah I reckon that could have a little bit to do with, plus the way they were treated when they were subject to British rule.

Or then again it could just be because they get all that wet weather from the Atlantic.

but howcome england is the only one that are still really hated for there past crimes? its not like any of us that are here now did that all the way back then.

i dont believe that ireland should have been split in two,but the way some irish people from the republic of ireland mention the past as to why they wouldnt want to join the uk need to get a grip as it wouldnt be like it was then,you would actually be treated better this time.

although i believe britain should just be england,wales and scotland as we are on the same land.

Well, it's probably to do with the fact that it wasn't all that long ago when it happened for a start and there is still fighting going on in Northern Ireland over it, also it has split our country permanently in two.

Next it will be the "yeah and Father Ted was NOT a documentary"

No way I will fall for that one again...
