Huh?
I'm an Ulster Scot, bud.

Also, it's Northern Ireland.

Out of curiosity, is there "yes" written on those flags? I see something, but I'm not sure.

There is indeed "YES" written across them. I think Paolo Nutini is going to be playing his independence-related song Iron Sky.

"To rise over love,
And over hate,
Through this iron sky,
That’s fast becoming our minds.
Over fear and into freedom."

Give him time, Owlbread must research the post, lick the post, become the post before he can post the post.

I am still meditating in front of your earlier post with my legs in a basket, inhaling its fumes as I burn parts of it as incense. I must cease my procrastination and get to it.

North Ireland vs Scotland, go!

Northern Ireland holds one of the most important communities of Scottish diaspora, a community DwarfyOne identifies as being a part of through his Ulster Scottishness. As a nation Scotland is closer in heritage and history to Northern Ireland than any other place, dating right back to ancient times when Gaels settled on both sides of the Irish sea and the word "Irish" was just a word non-Gaels called them both. I personally love Northern Ireland and I think it's a beautiful place, and I like TheDwarfyOne for his intelligence and strong morals. We only argue because these are issues that must be discussed.

I'm surprised how little applause he got for invoking Jesus.

Eh.

This is Britain. Jesus invoking isn't cause for immediate applause.

Yea. It's a much more comfortable approach to religion.

Eh, there has been numerous incidents when shells launched from Ukraine hit Russian territory over the past weeks, with Russian border guards and civilians being hit. Russia has always responded with strongly-worded letters expressing its concern at such developments.

Very late edit: meanwhile, according to rebel sources citing Igor Strelkov, about 70 (!) Ukrainian tanks have assaulted the rebel positions at the town of Metallist on the outskirts of Lugansk. Pro-Russian forces, armed with RPGs and old Soviet anti-tank artillery, have reportedly thwarted the Ukrainian attack. Also, there are reports that Ukrainian artillery have shelled residential areas of Lugansk.
DNR's official Twitter account claims that Ukrainian forces now have 4 AH-64 Apache helicopters that were reportedly sent by the USA. No proof is provided.

Ukrainian official sources have denied responsibility for the earlier artillery strike on the Russian town of Donetsk and claim that recent shellings of residential areas in Ukrainian Donetsk and Lugansk were committed by the rebels themselves.

"Would you like me to send you a version with the swearwords omitted? I could exchange the word "c***" with "gentleman" if you wish."
Too late now, I'm afraid. He's already branded in my mind as an ignorant, bitter lout.

Something about your demeanour tells me you were never going to take him serious anyway, and just went through it looking for things that would give you cause to disregard his actual points.

Because I realised what Scriver realised, and I decided there was no point in arguing it any further because arguing that point with Dwarfy One and trying to get to the conclusion I want would be like trying to get water out of a stone.

Merkel resigning as German chancellor to become supreme commander of Yurop

At least if she became a leader of the European Council she would be a recognisable face to people, unlike Van Rompuy. We really need a democratically elected leadership of Europe though if we're going to have any kind of serious integration, and for it to be in any way relevant to people in the UK.
