Man I hate the effing British. They left India 50 god damn years ago and they are still in Ireland. How in the hell does that make sense?

Steps are being taken towards a unified Ireland, and I can understand the desire for the Irish to see that take place, but as you say the days of bloody wars to declare independence - at least in Western Europe, should be over and it is unfortunate that parents will once again have to bury their children because some people haven't figured that out yet.
