do you argue for a living? you’re rather good at it.

No he ain’t. Argument is good. Argument facilitates the exchange of ideas.

He’s just good at blazing rows.

I see. I hadn’t realised that we were adopting the Humpty Dumpty approach to semantics.

Alternatively, you fucked up with your NI reference, was called on it, and now seek refuge in strict dictionary definitions. Embarrassed for you.

The offer to sleep with you was heartfelt and sincere. Frankly I feel offended that you chose to interpret it as a joke.

Verily, you make Jim Davidson look like Woody Allen….you know, the hook-nosed kyke from Brooklyn?

Yes, do come back when you have something resembling an argument, you little Irish bag o’ shit.

So they can ‘expel’ themselves, effectively. Only a pedantic dullard would dispute this.
I see. I hadn’t realised that we were adopting the Humpty Dumpty approach to semantics. I wonder if that applies to your definition of “humility”. Or perhaps your delusions of journalistic talent are not so cringeworthy.

Enough already. You are resolute in your steadfastedness and your hatred. Long may it rot your insides. I take my leave of you, safe in the knowledge that my existing opinions of such people as yourselves (oooh…dangerous!!!) are based on solid foundations.

Adieu, my hatred-filled zealots!

I barely even know you. Let’s sleep together, then I may well hate you.

Oh dear. Delusions of comedic talent. Is there anything more cringeworthy?

No, but somebody (i.e. you) said “this guy sounds like one of those Irish loony tunes.” That is resorting to a tired old racist cliche. My point still stands.

No it doesn’t. Not anymore than your “tired old” shot at Americans does. See how I’ve exposed you for the hypocritical little turd we all know you are?

The people of NI “cannot kick themselves out of the UK”. They can leave the UK, but to kick somebody out does not mean to leave. It means to expel. I think that the clear inference is that the Kicker Out remains within. Therefore it is logically impossible to kick oneself out of a group.

So they can ‘expel’ themselves, effectively. Only a pedantic dullard would dispute this.

Diarmuid, after you’ve refreshed your memory of the GFA, go and look up “humility”.

I bet you wish you’d never written that now.
How much do you want to bet? I take PayPal.

Nobody said ALL the Irish are stupid.

revealed his USA-hatred by posting stereotypes, then tried to wriggle his way out of it.
How I can reveal what is not real, is another logical conundrum that defeats my stupid Irish brain. I do not hate the USA. I have disdain towards wilfully ignorant people. But I don’t hate you. I barely even know you. Let’s sleep together, then I may well hate you.

This next part is to be read screechingly. I hate the government of Syria, China and Iran. All of them are murderous states – just like the State of Israel.

As it is, six counties of Ireland remain within the United Kingdom. They constitute part of the UK. As such, they cannot kick themselves out of the UK.

Actually, they can. The GFA made this clear. With the repeal of the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and the Republic’s amendments of articles 2 and 3 of the Irish Constitution, the constitutional status of NI effectively became a matter for the people of NI and no-one else. Neither the HMG nor the Republic lay any constitutional claim to the territory of NI.

So, yes, the people of NI can kick themselves out of the UK. You’re only from Dublin, so I wouldn’t necessarily expect you to know your arse from your elbow on a matter such as this.

This is presumably the kind of comment to which one should retort, “Take responsibility for your own ignorance.”

I bet you wish you’d never written that now.
