Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "I'd say there's some lads here who wouldn't mind if the six counties stayed tied to the Britain either.
Always amazes me in this country everyone seems so worried about other countries and never seem to stop to look at our own country, still partly occupied by a colonial power."
You are 100% Tirchonaill 1, you only have to listen and look at different footage from down the years. Thank God for social media and the internet as the younger generation in the 26 counties are starting to twig on what happened in the 6 counties and they care more than their forefathers.

All the lads who can't differentiate between the Greenland situation and the 6 counties. I think Tir Chonaill is the Irish Patriot at this stage.

Replying To Square_B:  "Shinners are obsessed with the Brits. When the time is right, Ireland will be free. When the majority wants it, under the provisions set out under the GFA. And that time is coming sooner rather than later. But no, the good auld Shinners want to obsess about the Brits."
How much of a majority do you want on the Island?

Lads have a debate about having a United Ireland if you wish. But throwing into the mix of what's happening currently is absolutely embarrassing. And claiming you are more Irish than everyone else because you are talking about it is even more embarrassing.

We know what you think.

Somebody said "it belongs to Denmark, end of story". That's an outrageous statement and people are right to call it out.

I'm more concerned about the fate of the hills of green Tyrone than I am about Greenland, does that make me an Irish patriot? I don't know, I think it should be the focus of any Irishman or Gael.
Greenland Trump and the Eu and tariffs you all get so concerned about will all be fine, money rules all, it will sort itself out.
What is said by our Gov on the issues will make no difference but they will dance the tune that's called from Brussels anyway.

It sure is embarrassing but it had to be addressed. What's happening over Greenland is shocking. The people of Greenland are entitled to choose their own destiny like the people of Northern Ireland. And at the moment, neither want to change the current position which has to be respected.

Adding 1.8 million people with giant chips of different flavours on their shoulders into a new Irish state will be amusing

There's surely already a majority. Of course one way of ensuring a majority don't vote that way in a referendum is by not having one......
