Prayers instead for the 10 Families of the Ten Brave Men, for those murdered at Loughgall, Gibraltar, Milltown.
That is incredibly cold and stupid.
Not about Margaret Thatcher, but because you are actually asking a lot of people from this board to pray for members of the IRA who might have actually killed people among their loved ones.
Would you go to any American website to ask for people to pray for Ben Laden or members of his family?
Coqui Chris, I may not like you, but I reckon you are a clever person, clever enough to realize this: when the war is over it is over, because otherwise, It's war forever. Ask the people in Ireland or in UK in general how they feel about this one and they'll tell you the truth, that they're sick and tired of it. Anyone nowadays trying to fan the flames for that is just an idiotic hardliner who has no other straw to grab for existing.
Cultural background and mistakes from the past what the fuck! The country is at peace, leave it at peace. I have lived in Germany for two years, do you think that I have even once asked for the people to repent? Do you think I have only once asked the people I have met at the bar to justify their father's behaviour?
